for now.. I know the Cryptocurrency / Crypto Innovation is divided into 14 categories;
(Storage, Privacy coin, Social, Market Prediction, IOT, Lightning Network, Payment, Dapp, Stable Currency, DEX, Exchange Token, Dapp Platform, IFO, Games).

Who said that there are exactly 14 categories and they consist of the technologies/trends that you've mentioned? There are much more fields in cryptocurrency sphere as people are experimenting with different applications, or in some cases just write technobabble for their whitepapers.

Lightning Network and privacy coins are the most promising fields in crypto, because they have solid foundation, they already work quite well and just need some improvements. On the opposite, fields like IOT are mostly just vaporware that no one really needs. Dapps don't have any real users, aside from some decentralized gambling games. IFO and IEO are just new ways to scam altcoin suckers.
