2018, by many measures, was the crypto ecosystem’s worse year yet. Digital assets, even Bitcoin (BTC)<\/a>, lost over 80% of their peak value on average; industry startups laid off chunks of employees or shut down entirely; and the words “crypto” and “blockchain” receded from the limelight, becoming a painful memory for those who “FOMOed” near early-2018’s peak.<\/p>\n However, an array of data and other key pieces of evidence tells us that more likely than not, 2019 will be an absolutely monumental year for Bitcoin. Let’s take a look.<\/p>\n For some reason or another, the Bitcoin blockchain has recently begun to see a monumental uptick in usage. Some have attributed it to Veriblock<\/a>, a so-called “Proof of Proof” system that helps secure non-Bitcoin chains, while others have looked to growth in mainstream and real-world adoption and speculative use cases.<\/p>\n Regardless, as recently noted by commentator Armin Van Bitcoin, the average number of daily transactions involving BTC is nearing its all-time highs of around 400,000, which were last seen at the peak of the 2017 bubble.<\/p>\n Transactions \/ day approaching ATH (~400,000 per day ). Last time we had this, fees were 500-700 sat \/ byte. Today, fees are 15-30 sat\/byte.#Segwit<\/a> worked.
