The crypto market is surging to green numbers showing a possible end to the bear ear suffered during the entire Q1 2018. The market cap continues below the 400 billions usd, but certains coins are having better displays of overcoming the month lows that we have seen so far. EOS for example has come up to a good growth the past week, along with STEEM and SBD, even though Bitcoin still remains way under than what we expected at the end of last year, is recovering slowly its growth path. So it seems we might be waiting for the bulls, but in my opinion there are certain events and coins that will lead the inflection point.
EOS blockchain launch
An OS build on the blockchain for a new generations of Dapps with no transaction feed. That is everything you need to know to be sure of the momentum that EOS launch will have, a strong competitor and maybe superior platform compared to Ethereum, that has a success-proven team (Dan Larimer @Dan) behind its technology.
Lets keep in mind the roadmap for the EOS platform has been updated because their are ahead of schedule, the release of Dawn 3.0 has brought hype from investors and the community. Expected to happen around June or July, this launch might skyrocket the price of the EOS token, which technically is still at ICO stages, and might bring a hype like happened to Ethereum last tear with the ICO revolution. A new playground for developers and entrepreneur that probably will make the crypto business and projects flourish to set the path of maturation for the ecosystem.
Facebook Scandal: a time to shine for Steemit
This is an important moment to rethink the relationship between user and company in Social Media platforms. The privacy scandal surrounding Facebook and similar platforms has brought disappointment in the community, users are demanding a fair trait on the online commercial interactions and time has prove that blockchain-based technology can answer this call. Steemit is a successful product for a huge online community, disrupting the financial system around Social Media. STEEM and SBD are paving the way to show that a different approach on social networks fused with crypto technology can be the future for the internet.
A few months ago STEEM was pick among the top 10 crypto tokens in the market, due to technology and financial performance, and we are technically still on a beta. The evolution of the Steemit platform has been formidable, and feels like still has much more potential to discover. The next step for the platform will be the launch of the Smart Media Tokens, which might set and incredible expansion of the business and opportunities for the STEEM blockchain and economy.
NEO and China
Formerly called the "Ethereum of China", the NEO platform is betting heavily on their developers community. A platform to build dapps is nothing without the builders, and that is the current focus of the NEO team, encourage and foster all kind development in their technology, trying to show the value of the Blockchain technology rather than the crypto craze generated last year. The main inconvenient for this is the Chinese government, that has put into place strict rules against crypto in the country. Even though China is home to a massive crypto and blockchain community, the ICO ban slowed down all kind of mainstream adoption of the ecosystem, but there is still a huge market to dominate with enough knowledge and platform to launch an uptrend to the crypto economy once it gets opens.
NEO is building a big ecosystem, fostering the adoption of their platform worldwide, if Chinese government opens up to the blockchain technology this could mean a huge growth for the NEO economy and subsequently crypto in the Asia region.
Telegram
This might be the biggest crypto project until now, with a private ICO pre sale reaching over 1.7 billion dollars, Telegram's Open Network (TON) might disrupt the entire industry of telecommunications and crypto in 2018. With more than 180 million active users worldwide, Telegrams wants to transforms the messaging app into something much bigger, combining free instant messaging with an entire financial platform, where money can be sent and use almost as instant and easy as emoji.
Telegram's plans havent been fully undisclosed and we don't know which is the official roadmap for the launch of the TON network and its cryptocurrency (GRAM), and at the moment is facing difficulties with the Russian government that wants to ban the platform in Russia due to the fear of losing control over the economy with this kind of technology that Telegram can offer.
If happens, the Telegram crypto endeavor can be the biggest name that will mark 2018, the biggest Initial Coin Offering (if goes to public) seen so far, maybe only matched by Block.one's EOS, and one of a kind product based on the blockchain with a cryptocurrency that potentially can reach more than a 100 million people from day 1.
These are my key points a for bullish second half of 2018. What do you think? Please share your thoughts in the comment section.
Thank you for reading.
Cheers!
one of my biggest hodling are eos and steem
If the launch of EOS goes well in June, it will rocket!
I think STEEM is going to perform great in 2018. I also think Etherium will break through and be a big coin this year. I do think China is going to hamper international interest in NEO which will hold it back. I think the real story is will DTube take over and are we able to get people into the STEEMIT ecosystem and whether or not we can get on the TV like YouTube. If we get a DTube app for AndroidTV OS we will all be sitting pretty with the STEEM we have and make. Nice post.
But the infrastructure of IPFS would probalby be not strong enough to withstand a bandwidth of YT. That D.Tube will succeed is unlikely till it's not better for the consumer. Quality, Search and recommendet videos are YT strenght and no one will break this apart in the near futre.
@mamf18 very well said, I agree with you.
@wwamd What do you think of a possible scenario where EOS goes bigger than ETH? I think for DTube to be able to compete with YouTube might need a tech improvement. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, cheers!

Good post, I agree that these coins are set for greatness this year.
Great post @albertogm. Hope we will see a green arrow soon !!
STEEM is like a boxing match: you can only rely in votebot to win
Huh.. does boxing rely on votebots?
Of course. You see two men fighting and you wonder which of them will win. The votecop (mafia) already knows at that point
One of my pick is Electroneum, i invested in that coin since it was launched. But things haven't been looking up for this coin lately . But i think later down into 2018 some momentum will take place. Currently its far from the bull race but its a coin to look out for.
You laid out some good picks tho.
Thanks @andre25!
I just focus on the animal ,, what is the name???
Aurochs, not to be confused with European bison (wikipedia for more information)
Yea, i will try
It looks like a yak bull to me, could be wrong.
Euum,,, i think so
