2019 will see more crypto users and hopefully by the half of 2019, bitcoins can rebound to its highest price it was in 2017 December. As was seen in 2018, more ICOs will be flourishing and a lot of merchants will be integrating the crypto into their products.
Another great news came from both Hong Kong and Canada. Apparently the crypto companies are working towards getting a special deal for their energy needs in canada and they have been working with local governments and local energy providers so they can get a deal. One big company called DMG Blockchain Solutions has actually gotten 85 megawatts of energy and that is enough to power 50 THOUSAND houses, which is why they wanted to get a bulk discount instead of paying individual prices.
If that happens the already favored canadian mining sector will definitely get much bigger and rival china for sure. Also hong kong has published regulations that are easy on blockchain companies and just allows them to be taxed just like any other. French lawyers has also told the government to go easy on crypto regulations so the crypto companies can rise there instead of going somewhere else.
