Ten cryptocurrency predictions for 2018 from the co-founder of the Blockchain Research Institute

https://qz.com/1171977/ten-2018-predictions-from-the-founder-of-the-blockchain-research-institute/

"In 2018, there will be plenty of opportunities for new ICOs—high-function currencies that build on pioneering work in anonymity, scale and fungibility, product tokens, loyalty tokens, or social tokens like carbon credits—where the tokens represent something of value other than a stake of ownership in a company."

"On Dec. 12, 2017, it was announced that David Marcus, the head of Messenger at Facebook, would join Coinbase’s board. I have no doubt Facebook is exploring cryptocurrency payments within the Facebook Messenger platform or some other token-related initiative. We may even see an acquisition attempt by Facebook."

"That would surely not be the only acquisition of a blockchain company by a major Digital Conglomerate. Google is already this year’s second-largest investor in blockchain technologies, and we can expect that to continue as public interest in blockchain explodes."
