2019 looks bright for Ethereum as HTC Blockchain Phone Exodus 1(which is only accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum) has already been launched in advance on December 12, 2018, and is ready for purchase. Even Ethereum is expected to experience their Constantinople hard fork in February 2019, wherein the block times would start to increase, and by May 2019 the difficulty bomb is expected to reach 30-second block times. Joseph Lubin, the co-creator of Ethereum and the founder of ConsenSys tweeted that price going low is not a big deal, look at the Ethereum adoption rate, it is not going down at all.
