Futhermore, I like to say that I'm excited to see what 2018 will hold for cryptocurrencies. Although we have a long ways to go, I believe that the outlook for cryptocurrencies is very promising.
On a personal level, discovering cryptocurrencies has given me added hope for the future. I believe cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology is revolutionary despite the naysayers. Going into 2018, I want to increase awareness about this market to my friends and family. Many are still skeptical or uninformed. We all can work to change these misconceptions as a community.
General knowledge and interest (see image above) about cryptos besides Bitcoin is severely lacking. I expect one of the greatest altcoin runs next year as more people discover them.
2018 will be a rollcoaster, but by the end of it we'll be able to reflect knowing that we're making the right decisions and derive lessons from the mistakes.
