Cryptocurrency predictions October 2018 report
Our monthly survey of fintech leaders on the top and trending coins
Since bitcoin set sail in 2009, cryptocurrencies have made waves across the globe. The big question on everyone’s lips: what will these coins be worth in the future?
We’ve set out to ask a panel of fintech leaders for their 2018 cryptocurrency predictions, and we’ll release a new set of insights every month.
Read on for 2018 cryptocurrency predictions from finder.com’s panellists.
This month
For our October 2018 report, nine panellists predict the movements of the top 10 coins. The top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap are bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Cardano (ADA), Dash (DASH), Ethereum (ETH), EOS (EOS), Litecoin (LTC), Monero (XMR), XRP (XRP) and Stellar Lumens (XLM).
2019 outlook
This month, we asked our panellists for not only coin forecasts for 1 November and end of the year, but also their 2019 outlook as well. Opinions are solely those of our panellists.
What about other up-and-coming coins this year? Check out our panellists’ comments on new coins at the end of this report.
Which coins are expected to see the highest growth by November and end of 2019?
Of the 10 coins, our panellists forecast Monero will experience the greatest average price growth this month (43%), followed by Ethereum (37%) and Stellar Lumens (33%).
Cardano is expected to see the greatest price growth by the end of the year at 159%, followed closely by Monero (93%) and Ethereum (79%).
This month, we also asked our panellists to forecast the value of the top 10 coins by the end of 2019. They expect that most coins will see an average increase in value by the end of next year, with the exception of Litecoin, which they predict will decrease in value by 3%.
The panel is most optimistic for Cardano’s success, with an average predicted value increase of 327% by the end of next year, followed closely by Ethereum (305%) and Monero (295%).

As for the forecast market capitalisations for bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum — the only coins of the 10 with a reported number of coins available by 31 December 2018 — our panel predicts Ethereum will see the greatest increase in market cap growth by the end of 2018 (79%).
Bitcoin follows with a 62% increase, while Bitcoin Cash is picked to come in at 17%.

As of 26 September 2018, bitcoin’s price was $6,413. Cofounder at Satoshi School Joerg Molt predicts the highest value for 1 November 2018, at $9,000.
As for 2018 performance overall, a majority of panellists expect BTC to be valued at around the $10,000 mark, with 5 of the 9 panellists predicting between $10,000 and $12,367. Joerg Molt gives a far more bullish prediction for the end of 2018 at $20,000.
BitBull Capital COO Sarah Bergstrand, Spaceship Dealers founder Nir Rozin, and finder.com.au CEO and cofounder Fred Schebesta provide more conservative predictions ranging from just $5,200 to $8,000.
When it comes to predictions for the end of 2019, our panellists predict BTC at an average $20,531. Two panellists predict BTC will be valued at $40,000, while Schebesta gives the lowest prediction for the end of 2019 at just $8,100.
Though he’s not as optimistic about the end of 2019, Schebesta believes things could change going into 2020. He reveals, “I think BTC could potentially hit bigger figures by the year 2020. But for the next year or two, it’ll still be hovering just under the $10K mark. But then again, the end of 2019 is essentially a millennia away.”

Technologist Joseph Kaczynski provides the next highest prediction for end of the year and end of 2019 at $600 and $800, respectively. He says, “Still waiting to see how this guy goes. She lost my confidence with the 51% attack. It will likely drift higher with the rest of the field.”
The amount of Bitcoin Cash expected to circulate by the end of the year is 17,541,638. This allows us to work out the market capitalisation for 31 December 2018. Based on our panellists’ forecasts of value per coin by 31 December 2018, the predicted market cap for Bitcoin Cash by the end of 2018 is $9 billion.

The price of XRP was $0.50 as of 26 September 2018. The panellists predict a short-term decrease over the next month and continuing into the end of the year, projecting an 8% drop in value. However, the long-term outlook for XRP is more positive, with an expected increase of 45% by the end of 2019.
Alisa Gus gives a fairly bearish prediction of $0.43 for the end of 2018. However, she expects the value to rise over the long term, predicting $0.87 for the end of 2019.
Gus says, “The expectation of the new product and partnerships has already been baked into this ultra-short-term forecast, and the expectation rarely matches reality. But medium to long term, it will definitely continue to rise.”
Joseph Raczynski offers the highest prediction for 1 November 2018, at $0.58. He also predicts the highest value of $1 for end of 2019. He attributes the growth to the company’s marketing expertise and popularity with large organisations.
Raczynski explains, “They are a marketing behemoth. They have good tech, but I still wonder about the technicals as a true decentralised play. Nonetheless, large organisations are testing it with more frequency, which says something. Perhaps Ripple is the hybrid blockchain play, which makes the traditional players feel comfortable before the deep dive into true decentralisation.”

Perhaps Ripple is the hybrid blockchain play, which makes the traditional players feel comfortable before the deep dive into true decentralisation.”

Methodology and disclaimer
Here’s how we calculated the number of bitcoins we expect to circulate:
- Some 12.5 bitcoins are reportedly mined every block, with each block taking an average 10 minutes for mining.
- Using this data, we calculated that approximately 1,800 bitcoins (21,600 ETH) are produced daily.
- We then worked out the predicted market cap by the panellists’ forecast of value per coin.
- We calculated market cap for bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum, which report the number of coins available.
We chose our 10 coins using the top 10 with the largest market capitalisation reported by CoinMarketCap.
All prices listed were taken according to Australian EST.
Note that our panellists have holdings in the cryptocurrencies listed below:
- Craig CobbHST, BTC, ETH, CAN.
- Alisa Gus XLM, ETH, BTC.
- Fred SchebestaETH, EOS.
- Joseph RaczynskiMany of the top 10 I have played with in the past.
