Wilson marked the number of promises made in the year 2017 as the momentum towards the next bullish phase. Amongst which only a few projects such as Algorand (the blockchain-based payment project), Filecoin (mining software project from Protocol Labs) and several smart contract platforms were able to compete with Ethereum (ETH).
There are chances that Stablecoin along with crypto gaming, non-fungible tokens, might see consumer adoption & significant progress this year according to him. Wilson further adds, “The area I am most concerned about are actions brought by misguided regulators who will take aim at high-quality projects and harm them. And we will continue to see all sorts of failures, from scams, hacks, failed projects, and losing investments be a drag on the sector.”
