Table of Contents Year in Review

EOS is a blue chip crypto project that earned the spotlight even in the top shelf mainstream media after its massive ICO. EOS is most serious competitor for the reigning king of dapp platforms, Ethereum. Many believe that soon enough, EOS will reach $30.00, a target that has been set for the majority of the past year.

In April, Block.one, the development team behind EOS announced a new $200m partnership that aimed to accelerate the EOSIO ecosystem across Asia. May saw some major developments within the EOSIO software which eventually led to the launch of a bug bounty – a program established to encourage ethical hacking in order to pay external developers to hack and test the integrity of the softwares security protocol.

The rest of the year saw a bear trend pull a huge chunk of value out of EOS. As the year drew to a close, many EOS investors have been left kicking themselves as it seems that both January and April did present the best buyout opportunities. 

EOS endured constant attacks from other crypto communities for its governance model and alleged collusion among their block producers. The languishing price also threw some of the big block producers in financial conundrum as they had trouble keeping their costs of running servers for EOS blockchain under control. All in all, radically different to Ethereum, EOS made use of 2018 to establish itself as one of the top cryptocurrencies in the market.

The downfall of altcoins that were mainstream media darlings at the start of the year, EOS among them, can be attributed, in part, to novice investors getting scared off once the bear market kicked in with a vengeance. Every resurgence of bitcoin in recent period, was met with the, for the most part, inability of altcoins to rally with it. Reason for that can be rookie investors learning from their mistakes, while smart money that was previously watching from the sidelines has begun to enter into bitcoin.

These entities weren’t about to buy BTC when it was trading at an all-time high, but they’ll take a look now, having missed the boat the first time around. None of them, it seems, are interested in altcoins however, despite the fact that many are trading at a 5x discount. Institutional investors may be cautious, but they’re not foolish.

EOS, as the rest of the market, is tied at the hip of bitcoin’s price action. If bitcoin embarks on another bull run, EOS can hope for one as well. Since that is very unlikely, don’t expect much to change for EOS price-wise in this year. So 2019 will be a year of boring sideways action with minor bitcoin ignited jumps and slumps.

In general:

The main currency in cryptocurrency markets is Bitcoin and given this, altcoins tend to fuel Bitcoin runs and Bitcoin tends to do the same in return. Given this relationship, Bitcoin price movements (or lack thereof) tend to effect altcoin prices.

When Bitcoin goes up swiftly, it will likely:

In cases when Bitcoin plunges, it will likely:

When Bitcoin moves sideways, it will likely:

RTo summarize, Bitcoin is the focal point of the crypto market in many ways, and with BTC trading pairs on every exchange, the gravity of Bitcoin is hard to evade.

The majority of projects will fail — some startups are created just to gather funds and disappear, some would not handle the competition, but most are just ideas that look good on paper, but in reality, are useless for the market. 

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum said:

“There are some good ideas, there are a lot of very bad ideas, and there are a lot of very, very bad ideas, and quite a few scams as well”

As a result, over 95% of successful ICOs and cryptocurrency projects will fail and their investors will lose money. The other 5% of projects will become the new Apple, Google or Alibaba in the cryptoindustry. Will EOS be among those 5%?

Hard to tell but probability for that is fairly solid as EOS has managed to carve out a place for itself despite heavy head winds it faced ever since its massive $4 billion ICO. Dan Larimer is certainly one of the geniuses of crypto space and the only reason he is less respected than some other personalities from the sector is his obvious social inadequacy.

In 2019, EOS needs to prove its worth with sturdiness and resistance towards possible attacks while also working as marketed. Considering Ethereum is still a hot mess with their complete system revamp going on, EOS has a unique opportunity to seize the throne from Ethereum and become the default dapps platform for the future.

All of this summed up means one thing: EOS might live through couple of orchestrated and, for a regular trader, completely unpredictable pumps but the majority of time will be murky sideways trading with small volume and no significant interest from the market. 

Price will heavily depend on what BTC will do and since many analysts think BTC will not be making big moves in this year, it is hard to expect EOS will do them either. The price will probably stagnate and record slow-moving depreciation or appreciation depending on the team activity, potential technological breakthrough or high-level partnership.

There is no much information on what is expected from EOS in 2019 as far as their roadmap is concerned, at least not in their official channels since there are no officially scheduled events or releases by far.

Tron Token Price Prediction 2019

The 5th phase dubbed Cluster Implementation the Future doesn’t have specific dates, unlike previous stages.

What is known by far regarding future developments for 2019 is only available from individual announcements of Block.one developers, without actual dates of releases and updates.

One of the developments that are said to be waiting to happen is the implementation of inter-blockchain communication which should enable scaling through sidechain, which would make the network more efficient and faster.

Another one of implementations expected in 2019 is also Asynchronous Byzantine fault tolerant, otherwise known as aBFT, which should allow the improvements of irreversibility times, allowing direct communication for BPs.

The team is also said to be working on Resource Exchange that should encourage voting and allow token leasing, while it is said that the team will be presenting a new infrastructure with 4% inflation, although it is not yet confirmed whether any of these updates would be completed in 2019.

With the market being so volatile, predicting the price of the cryptocurrencies is really one of the most daunting and thankless tasks.

Let’s consider the publications and personalities, and their forecasts regarding the EOS price prediction, which will give us a fairer idea:

According to WalletInvestor, investing in EOS will turn out to be a favorable venture for the investors, They believe that in 2023, it might reach $911.

Coinfan sees EOS reacing $47 in December of this year, after a string of months with constant gains.

Algorithm at Tradingbeasts.com has a much more conservative approach to EOS price, putting it at $7 at the end of the year which still represents more than double of its current price.

One of the Steemit writers, OrdinaryRich predicted that EOS might reach as high as $20 by 2019. He even predicts that EOS might experience around 60% more than Ethereum’s market capitalization.
