As we wind down the last day of 2018, it gets me wondering what we have in store for 2019. 2018 was a pretty eventful year when it comes to Steem and Crypto, perhaps not in the way we like. Will 2019 be the year that changes the game forever? I hope so.

What do you want to happen with Steem in 2019?

I could make a huge list, but let's go with the top 3.

Here's mine:

Reduce full node memory requirements to below 16GB ram, and reduce witness nodes memory requirements to below 8GB. This would tremendously help prevent scaling issues, and the reduced costs will create a lot of decentralization.
Resource credit delegation. I believe this is key to improving the onboarding process especially with projects such as Hive account@steemmonsters. (Update) Specifically RC pools.
I'm going to avoid SMT, as that's what everyone is going to answer. For the third, I am going to say I want to see more dApps that don't depend on the reward pool. I think this is critical to the success of Steem, we need more dApps that encourage outside parties to come to buy and spend Steem. If we focus on blogging and content creation, we are selling ourselves short.
