It is pretty hard to understate what 2017 has meant for investors.
The S&P 500 had one of it best years in more than five appreciating
20% to a record near 2700.
The global economy continued to recover from the last vestige
of the 2008 financial crisis.
Everybody has the right to feel financially more secure.
But if you were for fortunate to be a crypto investor,
you have cause to celebrate like never before.
Bitcoin rewarded you with a 1660%+ price appreciation,
Ethereum gained a monster 10,200%+ while Litecoin turned in
a 6,500%+ price increase.
And these are just the majors.
Returns with some of the successful ICOs were even more spectacular.
Of course not every ICO paid off and some fell victim unscrupulous operators.
Nevertheless, 2017 was a golden year.
When prices increase as much as they have it is easy to get fixated solely
on price alone and forget about the underlying forces that represent true value.
So what will be the fundamental forced in 2018?
It is hard to know the future so far out
because it is evolving so quickly, but here are some thoughts on
several very important issues.
