2017 was a great year for the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Many of our dreams of mainstream adoption were achieved: Bitcoin Futures are being traded, big media channels are talking about cryptocurrencies and almost everyone we know is either buying or considering buying some coins.
Now, next year is going to be challenging for many reasons, on the first hand we have to proof that Bitcoin is not a bubble, don't get me wrong, the price could very well be a bubble but what it is definitely not a bubble is the underlying technology behind Bitcoin: The Blockchain.
There will be more application built on top of Blockchain Technology, we will see many more coins and opportunities but most importantly we shall see more adoption.
As for Bitcoin, they really need to find a way to scale. This could be by either deploying the lighting network or increasing the block size (which seems unlikely). I personally wouldn't be surprised if another cryptocurrency takes Bitcoin's spot as the number 1 coin on the market cap list, 20 USD transaction fees is simply not good enough.
2018 should be a big Steem year
The scalability advantages of the Steem Blockchain will come to light in 2018 when they released the Steem Media Tokens (SMTs), anyone will be able to release their own token with a 3 second block confirmation and zero fee.
Of course the Social Media site steemit.com will continue to grow and onboard newcomers, it remains the most simple and easy to use app on the blockchain today.
I am happy to have shared this last year with you and I am looking forward to a 2018 where I will dedicate my full attention to Blockchain Tech and Steem.
Have a great crypto new years Steemians,
Lots of love,
The Villarica Volcano in Pucon, where I am spending my New Years Eve.
Feliz añoo! mis mejores deseos para ti y para los tuyos!!

Bitcoin will range bound in a broader range in between 10k to 25k and the one directional ultra bull run is over.
Steem on and stay blissful

ETH may be the most fitting cryptocurrency to fill the show of bitcoin and 2018 will just be the repeat show of bitcoin in the form of etherum.

My New Year's resolution is to perfect my HODLing skills. I can't tell you how many times this year I regretted not HODLing some great coins!!
However, I'm very happy I HODLed my Steem (well, I was kinda forced ;-))

This is exciting; and, I continue to ponder how many plankton/minnow Steemians will be able to incorporate the SMT into their personal blogging venture.
I look forward to someone generating a post/sharing a link highlighting simple ideas/examples that would constitute a need for the Smart Token for the everyday blogger.
Great post!
Beautiful end shot of the volcano…spectacular!
Best regards for 2018!
Peace.

I think bitcoin cash will take the place of bitcoin in 2018 and we may see 10k usd price per BCC.
Steem is a good one and we may also see persistent bull run in steem pair

Yes indeed, so you just said that in 2017 there were some purchases in bitcoin in cryptocurrency. Price acceleration has deteriorated in the body. This year, the cost of bit coins has been the highest in the new year, wishing for more progress and wishing Happy New Year
