The Ethereum rate will drop to $ 1.
Generalova predicts a "nuclear winter" in the market of the king of blockchains Ethereum (ETH).She believes that the rate of the coin will drop to $1 due to the fall in the popularity of ICOs and cryptocurrencieson the whole.
Only Bitcoin will mine
At the end of 2018, the mining industry happenedcollapse. Bitmain, the largest Bitcoin mining company (BTC), plans to cut its staff by half to make ends meet. According to Daria, in 2019, new shocks await miners. Of the 50 leading cryptocurrencies by capitalization level, only Bitcoin will mine, since the extraction of the remaining assets will not generate income.

In place of ICO projects, companies will come that offer customers to buy tokens that give them the right to own shares of the enterprise (tokens-securities). ICOBox employees already note an increase in demand for this type of digital assets, in their opinion, in 2019 the share of token-securities will reach 10% of the total cryptocurrency capitalization level.

According to Generalova, in 2019 the price of goldwill fall by 30%, as was the case from 2008 to 2009 (then the cost of the metal decreased from $ 1,000 to $ 700 per ounce). The depreciation of the precious metal will force Central Banks to transfer 20% of their foreign exchange reserves to Bitcoin. Thanks to this, the cost of BTC will skyrocket to $ 200,000.
