I think because the bitcoin course has not reacted to it at all, it means that serious players do not expect an end from bitcoin. It seems that everything will gradually also be positive.
In 2018 you can expect to see an escalating competition among providers of these wallet services to earn users trust. It wont be easy, since the inflation in Bitcoins price has driven a frenzy of participation that strains these companies capacities. But if the Bitcoin world doesnt solve this problem, it will sour the entire industrys prospects, as it crops up for each new coin or token that catches fire.
Each of these three challenges that cryptocurrencies face comes down to a question of trust. Ironically, the libertarian dreamers who conceived of Bitcoin and its brethren imagined a world of trustlessness, in which you didnt have to assess the reputation of the counterparty in any transaction, or any middleman institution, because the whole process was guaranteed by the blockchains irrefutable, crypto-secured record. But nothing thats happening in the world of ICOs and Bitcoin today has moved us any closer to such a trustless state. People are still making gut-driven bets based on faith: Is my wallet company the most reliable? Which token is most likely to last and appreciate? Which developers are moving in the smartest direction?
