Why We Were Right Technology providers are still struggling to track all the people and items in a large store and to retrofit existing stores. There are reports of companies like Amazon working on the issue, but the lack of progress may mean it will take some time for the technology to scale. | | | | | Prediction The US wireless carrier market would be shaken up as T-Mobile and Sprint get final approval to merge. Why We Were Right As part of the government's conditions for greenlighting the merger, Dish agreed to acquire the wireless assets from both companies — including spectrum and Sprint's Boost Mobile Brand — to create a competitive wireless carrier that would add a fourth player to the market. | | | | | Prediction Amazon, Apple, or Google will make a big splash with a digital health acquisition. Why We Were Right All three of these tech giants made headlines with buy-ups of health tech firms – Apple with asthma-tracking startup Tueo Health in May, Amazon with digital diagnostics provider Health Navigator, and Google with its plans to purchase Fitbit. | | | | | Prediction The digital-only bank wave will hit the US market. Why We Were Right This market heated up in the last year, as Neobank Chime grew from 2 million accounts to 5 million and scooped up $200 million in funding to make it a unicorn. N26 and Monzo both launched in the US, and Google announced plans to launch checking accounts. | | | | | Prediction Blockchain adoption by incumbents will intensify, while initial coin offering (ICO) funding will plummet.

Additionally, 13 of the world's largest banks are reportedly readying crypto versions of major global currencies for 2020. But the ICO market was down 97% year-over-year in Q1 2019, and there were no ICOs recorded for September, October, or November. | | | | |
