Remember all the high expectations we had for this year? Even if the market was bearish, I expected some technological breakthroughs to happen. I was counting on Ethereum and/or Cardano implementing PoS. I also thought that the lightning network could be released this year. Instead:

>Ethereum: Casper never happened, can't implement PoS, sharding still a dream
>Cardano doesn't even have staking
>Ripple: we still don't know if it's a security
>Bitcoin: lightning network far from complete
>Bcash: pointless forks leading to nowhere
>Neo: does anyone even use it? Too centralized.
>Monero: worshipped by cultists but nobody uses it. It's just too complicated.
>Litecoin: still irrelevant
>Chainlink: no mainnnet, not even a line of code written for the reputation system
>0x: literally useless
>BAT: no one uses it, still legally questionable to block people's ads
>Augur: product released but no one uses it, too complicated for the average user
>Golem: lmao

It feels like nothing significant has happened this year. The last great technological innovation in crypto was ethereum. We haven't see anything really exciting since then.
