RE: More Regulations Will Come! & Why I Think That´s Actually A Good Thing In The Long Run!
You bring up a good point about the "staging" in process. It would be great to go from a bankster run world to full decentralization. That isnt going to happen. We do need to take some steps before we see that come to fruition.
As for mass adoption, I think what will happen first is that people get cryptocurrencies in their hands...then they will learn what they are about. All of the people on STEEM are learning about cryptos even if they are here to post about birdwatching. The fact they are paid in Steem shows they have at least a basic understanding of them.
As we progress in 2018, we will see more of this. I am going to write an article about a site that pays you to watch movies. Imagine that....Each time one of these comes about, there is a chance that people millions of people will be exposed to the idea of cryptocurrency.
We are moving towards a tokenized world and there is no need for banksters.
Step by step that´s the way to go into a bright future. I actually really hope that many banks will start to offer cryptocurrencies within the next years as that´ll basically be selling their own end of existence...
2018 will bring a lot of progress to the cryptosphere along with a wide adoption of cryptocurrencies among the masses. I really just hope that we won´t see too many different tokens appear on the list but rather have a lot based on awesome blockchain projects just like steem to avoid many people going broke on huge investments into scams and useless coins...
