As a freshman in college, I had the pleasure to take a 2-unit class on the fundamentals of blockchain and cryptocurrency. As Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and several other largely known cryptos exploded 1,000%+ we looked at the vulnerabilities of the different coins and the drawbacks that are not talked about between people that are getting into the crypto-investing sphere. Perhaps the largest drawback to blockchain is the issue of scalability. We have seen a wide variety of coins in 2017 with Ripple being partially centralized and partially decentralized and other coins taking similar suit.

Looking to the new year, what you you guys predict is going to be a big focus? Will it be focussing on smaller known currencies and investing in their future? Or putting our resources into the well-known cryptos to make them even better. Will the market shift more towards centralization? Or will it keep the founding principles of Satoshi of having a decentralized future? Or will we continue to see centralization in the form of exchanges like Coinbase which are susceptible to similar attacks such as Mt. Gox?

Unless education continues to spread, I unfortunately feel that true decentralization will never exist in our future. What do you guys see for 2018?
