To the next year was successful for most projects, there should be some regulator that can at least protect from the scum. Who can act as such a regulator? Only the goverment comes to the first answer. And will it benefit the market if the goverment starts interfering?
Hmm government coming in as a regulator i dont see that as a very good idea. Rather an independent body be incharge because the whole idea of blockchain is decentralization and government wants centralization.
Well my prediction of 2019 market will continue to grow and more and more projects will keep coming up with great ideas. From statista it was predicted that blockchain market technology to grow to 2.3 billion U.S. dollars by 2021.
