There are infinite possibilities when it comes to blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, and maintaining privacy in transactions is just one area that's being worked on.

Is it possible that 2018 will see Bytecoin finally get adopted by more people? Will its price ever get higher than 10 cents? It's hard to say, but if Bytecoin starts really engaging the community and improving their coin's functionality (maybe including dApp capabilities?) then there's a chance it can survive in the competitive arena of cryptocurrency
