https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqj1zn4qDQoI am thinking about ethereum in terms of its tokens, and not in terms of its scaling solutions, casper etc
In order for ethereum to really succeed more projects need to be created that actually have some sort of utility. Right now we can already see projects that look good conceptually and we can look into individual sectors and see the innovative thinking that is going on in regards to crypto currency. However these are just ideas, which is nice because it helps you see the direction in which cryptocurrency is going and it allows you to think about future sectors which could be affected by cryptocurrency. However if Ethereum is going to succeed we are going to need to see some projects actually work and be implemented. Vitalik Buterin says it perfectly in a talk “ This, basically, is tokens1.0”. In 2018-2019 we will likely see more useful projects, and projects that have had at least a year of development to actually work. Most of these projects don't actually have a MVP, so we will need to see a few of them try the technology that they are promising and have them fail. We haven't really had a taste of what will fail and what won't, which is why there are hundreds of different ICO’s tackling issues. Once some of these fund raising giants fail, we will start to see projects emerge with huge success. Most of the projects on the market right now, are just ideas and the technology is not feasible. So we will need to see them fail, and allow other coins to emerge fixing those problems. I think there are more interesting projects, that are not raising huge ICO funds. And the reason that I think they are interesting, is because they are reasonable. I also think there is a huge problem with the white paper models that are being produced, most of them don't even have a sustainable plan to keep the token or coin economically efficient. People have to want to utilize the coin, and hold the coin if it is too rise. Way too much artificial pumping is occurring which is hurting the cryptocurrency community, however I think we will see some of that change next year.
What do you guys think?
