Bitcoin Forum

2020 will be coming soon. People have a big expectation in the upcoming year that there will be some big changes in crypto world. Even if some people doubt the future of cryptocurrency, we must be curious about what will happen in the next year exactly.

Here are some big things that all people may be waiting for in 2020:

1. How Bitcoin halving can bring impacts in crypto space.
2. Will we see the launching of Libra coin.
3. Us government intervention in crypto space, Libra project gets no progress.
4. People are waiting for the launching of Ethereum 2.0’s
5. SEC vs. Telegram, what is the end of this fighting?

More details, you can find out in the article: https://www.coindesk.com/10-events-to-look-out-for-in-2020

*What do you think guys?

I'm much more into the next btc halving, i really want to see how market will change after the halving because i still believe that nothing is going to happen instantly until the year runs out

I hope that all good things will happen related to the 5 things that you say, even though there will be rejection / delay or anything that gets in the way.
from all the news above I am very looking forward to libra, I am curious about its effect on crypto whether it will really have an impact.

Launching of libra coin and ETH 2.0 is not certain yet but its only a matter of time before we see what happens, as for btc halving i am not 100% certain it will make bitcoin surge higher but deep down i do hope it helps

what if there is an economic crisis in some big countries or maybe there will be a big adoption from big companies, we don't know but usually bitcoin always has a surprise for all holders, so it's not just ETH 2.0 or Bitcoin halving, maybe there is something more interesting than that and certainly adoption

Isn't it the launch of libra has already failed and facebook launch its new digital payment as a way to subtitute the libra stable coin? I heard this from from news sites that if mark has already said about that.
FYI if the ethereum POS will not come next year but it must be a few years from now.

Intervention of the government in crypto space will not do anything, they will only have power over centralized projects, crypto regulation is the only thing i need from the government, some kind of assurance that crypto investment is safe so that newbies can come in

Bitcoin halving is what I am looking forward but not because of the price effects but more of how those people who are expecting too much will react.
They want a huge pump to happen even if the price of bitcoin is already in a good number.
Still they think it ain't that large enough.
Greedy bastards who didn't even see how bitcoin went through all those price fluctuation from just cents up to now.

They may be flooding FUD or hype just to bring a movement to bitcoin.
Again, they will just make traders happy.  ;D

Yes, although I cannot accurately predict the price of Bitcoin, I can say that 2020 will be a year of bull run. not only for the facts you mentioned above, I also find that the Dow theory is very true. and bitcoin is in downtrend and there are many fluctuations showing that sharks are buying a lot of Bitcoin at the bottom of $ 6k5 and up. so I think 2020 will start with a great range of colors as sharks will inevitably have to pump up bitcoin's price and alts will follow suit.

Among all in the list BTC halving is all I'm interested about could answer the question whether it could end the crypto winter, whatever happens to Libra or Gram it really don't matter at all. But the continuation of the government to impose pressure to crypto ecosystem could still bring trouble through next few years for sure.

I personally am waiting for the effect of bitcoin prices after halving, of course and ethereum 2.0 is also my concern. true, this has led to greater curiosity and seems impatient to jump into 2021 because I believe the biggest impact will be that year

The next halving is what people cars about the most now, many investors believe that if bitcoin halving makes btc price rise altcoins will start flying as well, hopefully this is what will happen, if not we might have to wait longer

I want it to be that way, in fact, now many altcoins are ready to show good growth, road maps are being implemented at least 100%, but work is ongoing and there is development of projects.

If I have to judge with past history of btc halving then the answer is nothing will happen after the halving took place, many will be failed because they believe price will skyrocket after the halving but I don't think so, it's a gradual process to see growth and new money must flow in or else we will keep getting same old result

whether the market will go up, stuck, or even go down in 2020, what is certain is that there will be a lot of development. development is done, it means that crypto really wants to move forward, no matter the market will rise or not but they are always trying. look at how bitcoin halving will be developed, etherum 2.0, but I still doubt libra. because until now the American and French governments still reject the launch of Libra to the public, and do not know whether next year will really be launched.

You forgot to add to the list John McAfee 2020 end of year's show on national television. Or the show will be aired only in January 2021?

1. Yes! It is expected to see the halving during mid 2020 and the impact should start showing from the very beginning of 2020 as the profitability will be less for miners. So a price surge is probably around the corner.

2. That's not gonna happen in 2020. No matter how hard Facebook pushes for it, regulators will keep on raising new concerns before approving it to float in the market. 2020 doesn't look bright for Libra!

3. Tighter IRS tax norm is already in place which gets dedicated area for disclosing your crypto holdings.

4. True! We all love passive income. Crypto community is already HODLing a lot of ETHs as an investment. This new algorithm will allow all of them to earn a passive income for HODLing. Who doesn't love free money?

I expect that in 2020, this will be waiting for halving to occur and I think that there must be a change in market prices that may reach the new ATH.
I am awaiting the release of Ethereum 2.0 in 2020, although the date and month are uncertain, I hope that this development will be complete and Ethereum will still be the second best coin.
The others I don't really expect much less Libra that is not clear about the future.

which are those many altcoins which are ready to show good growth? because I don't see any new altcoins coming up and showing good growth. all of them are very useful. there is nothing else to watch without Bitcoin, and some major altcoins.
Halving is one major thing among them.

More than ever, this year will create a massive impact on the who Cryptocurrency industry, so many events that will give positive results to the whole community and we are anticipating, 2019 is the best opportunity to buy Cryptocurrency at the cheapest price, 2020 will be another year of all-time highs for coins that are on top of the market.

I'm more interested in how China develop blockchain technology since they are the biggest country may have impact on the price of crypto market. If they release their own cryptocurrency, US may accept the launch of Libra soon to confront, those events plus bitcoin halving will create the biggest massive bull run of crypto market ever.

There are many people waiting for the next halving and like some previous halving where this 4 yearly moment always makes the market move up and trigger the average crypto to reach ATH. So Bitcoin halving is a big thing that should be waiting for all crypto communities.

The last few days Ethereum has been widely discussed, from the large amount of development funds to the launch of Ethereum 2.0. Honestly Ethereum 2.0 has been awaited from a few years ago and I hope that network switching from PoS to PoS can be a solution so that Ethereum can be better and in line with the expectations of everyone, especially in its own ecosystem.

I personally look forward to these two things and hope that this moment can bring profits as compensation for losses in recent years.

These are definitely what people have big expectations about next year and my thought are.

1) Some people seem to believe the upcoming halving not to have any impact in the market which I believed they are totally wrong because what's the purpose of the implementation of halving if it cannot fulfill its purpose.
2) Libra won't be launch next year because one of its board members and the US House of Representative's financial services committee said it to be put hold until a good regulatory framework/strategy was in place.
3) Same as number two.
4) Base on the ETH network upgrade roadmap, the 2.0 will be launch and will hope to see interest features from the ETH network.
4) The telegram team have no choice but to submit to the SEC authority and of course, that's if they want to proceed with their project

1. If the value of bitcoin increases next year, the crypto space will certainly be affected. But first, there is a need for a positive change in the bitcoin itself.
2.3. What will happen to Libra depends on the US.
4. We all expect eth 2.0, but I have read a lot of articles about its delay. Perhaps, the current decrease is related to the delay.
5. Since the SEC itself will make the final decision on this issue, I cannot make any prediction.

I heard that they have created about 500 blockchain project but I don't find something much to be interested about it because almost all the blockchain project created there are launched under a board which I believed it just another act if centralization. Mind you, their government still detests bitcoin and they are planning to create their national crypto next year. But, I don't think the US government will accept the launch of Libra if they don't have a slot in the project team.

I am also eagerly awaiting the arrival of Libra in 2020, while facing a lot of difficulties with American law but I am confident that they have a solution to it and it will be released in 2020. In addition Raising halving in 2020 will not affect too much of Bitcoin price, I believe it will come true

the experts also say that if 2020 is the time for altcoin season to rise, what do you think about this?
is it really the year of Altcoin for the beginning of the month, and Q3-Q4 is for bitcoin

The main event remains to be the btc halving which will outshine all other events and it will push the market to new highs im quite optimistic about it and next 2 years in my opinion will be the biggest in terms of the growth of the crypto market.

unfortunately China still considers their digital coins separate from what is called cryptocurrency, but speculation will still develop about what China will do next year on the sustainability of the developed blockchain. Apart from that I still want to see what happens when bitcoin Halving arrives, and also the relationship with the momentum of eth 2.0 which will run first early next year.

1. I think that bitcoin halving will be the only significant event in 2020.
2. I think Libra will not be released in a few years.
3. Ethereum maybe will do its update, but now it is very difficult for them and I can only wish them good luck. I plan to buy ETH for $ 50.
4. TON will be launched at the end of 2020 and I don’t think it will happen earlier.

the main thing that I think about is the market. I think we will soon see a recovery in the crypto market if bitcoin can reach the moon in 2020. I hope this will happen.
heard a lot of talk about half of bitcoin in 2020, I'm sure it can have an impact on market prices including other cryptoqurencies.

Most of the Bitcoin investors are really checking and aiming to have another bull run this coming 2020, so there's also a lot of people who were interested to buy Bitcoin too before the halving but they will check first the market flow in that time before they will finally invest their money. But, let's be careful and not be too much manipulated and too greedy so we won't get Rekt.

Ye, sooner or later it's the best motive for Bitcoin to enter that rarest store of wealth age soon (May 16-2019)
I don't think it's gonna happen in 2020 as promised, at least not in Q1 for sure. The legal bullshit in the USA & Europe are already fighting the hell out of it.
Yes indeed, they are trying to make as hard as possible for Facebook to Tokenize their business / domain. because that affect their bank, central banks.
Actually i call it the best of 2020 fundamental, it will affect the majority tof the market / crypto projects since the majority are Ethereum Based Dapps.
[/quote]
They won't let it go actually, remember that Telegram is Russian base, it will be just another long legal dram for sure.

there is also an opinion that after the bitcoin halving, the cryptocurrency market will be in very poor condition. More recently, I read an article which says that as soon as the bitcoin halving occurs, the longest crypto winter, that we have not seen on the market, comes. I certainly did not believe in this prediction, but such a possibility exists

can you share the article here and for what reason ?, as far as I know from the history of Bitcoin, after experiencing halving Bitcoin always gives a good signal to go up, but for 2020 it seems like everyone still has a different opinion

You are exactly right! The market is not that simple as we think when there are changes specially the halving of bitcoin. 7 to 8 months is not enough to see the effect of halving, so it is expected to happen in 2021. Although we just don't know yet when it will happen but if the previous charts is right then maybe we could start to see it in November or December in 2021.

I am still expecting between facebook libra and the next halving. I am wondering how much the market would increase in the next halving and exactly when. Because based from my last last research it was a year before bull run did happened, so I am just wondering if would still be the same time frame or not.

I think Bitcoin halving is the most reliable event here, all the others may be delayed till 2021 easily. Though some great news about this events can cause big market movements too.

Indeed, 2020 will be full of events that will somehow be able to influence the crypto industry. But nevertheless, vague doubts take me: do we correctly understand the idea by which cryptocurrencies were invented? I believe that just understanding this can give us answers to the question of what awaits cryptocurrencies in the future. I also believe that the crypto industry is very dependent on the economic part of countries, since there can only be a surge in funds when investors see a prospect or salvation in cryptocurrencies. And then there will be a boom. Well, if this does not happen, then all this for us and the crypto sphere can end very badly.

Well those events that will be happening really excites me right up into this moment of time. Despite of the bad events that have been through since the end of the bull run way back the starting of the year 2018, these events you have stated above will surely gain the attention and interest by the crypto enthusiast, investors, bounty hunters, even the newbies that wanted to get engage into the crypto community as well as the ordinary people out there. Well, I am interested to know more about the next Bitcoin halving and what will be its greatest impact into the crypto space because I am pretty much sure that this event will surely make an impact to all of us within the crypto community. Not just that, I do also want to witness the launching of Ethereum's version 2.0  because like Bitcoin, it plays a significant role in the crypto world for the part of Altcoins. The last, that gains my interest among the list is the launching of the Libra coin for next year. I am sure that many events will soon to come as the year 2020 enters the calendar and I do hope that great things will happen by the year 2020.

2020 for me will start better than the beginning of 2019. For instance the price of btc last year wasn't the same for this year. The launch of Libra is not even what I'm looking at but the ethereum 2.0 and maybe IEO will connect or having something different.  2020 will definitely start well all depends on events.

well everyone expects crypto progress every year we see the market situation now full of competition new coins emerge by promising good prospects and it adds to the people familiar with crypto and what is awaited is that the Chinese government legalizes crypto will make the crypto market bigger this source https://cointelegraph.com/news/china-passes-first-ever-crypto-law-going-into-effect-january-2020

Bitcoin halving won't make any significant changes to the market. Price might dump after the halving. The real big news to watch out for is the end of Libra and government interest. If Libra gets launched there will be change in the entire crypto market.

I don't trust John McAfee, so I just ignore him from the list. John McAfee sometimes speaks excessively and don't consider realistic or not. Personally, I don't think to watch for McAfee's innovation in 2020.  ;D  But everybody can add him to their list to watch for in 2020. It's okay, no problem.

So many expectations might be cut short, except for the bitcoin halving, which ius very much likely going to happen. It is long awaited and nothing can stop it, because it is long overdue. Other's might just be by the way.
If bitcoin halving eventually happens, the crypto space will surely change for better.

We have a lot of expectations but I am just waiting for bitcoin halving, it can make bitcoin value higher or maybe lower. So that I know what move should I do next, buy or sell? Libra coin is just a news and we don't know when it will be a launch or is it really coming? Do you just think that Libra coin can help us also earn more than bitcoin? So as of now bitcoin halving for me is more important to wait.

big expectations are always there for 2020, but unfortunately there is no news and data worth waiting for to start the buzz of adoption of bitcoin. therefore we must dare to accept the reality so that we are not disturbed psychologically, so that realistic thinking and keep thinking clearly always awake

Many big thing in 2020 where exciting waiting for with bitcoin halving because almost investor claim bitcoin and altcoin have higher price, other big hope in 2020 Libra coin progress will be done and launching to public for selling or not, with situation in United State after Trump have been eliminated maybe Libra coin will get permission and allowed there.

This is what we observe as always many expectations in crypto, some expects for the surge price increase next year. Many hope for crypto because of the benefits that can get. Hopefully, there is a change once halving will happen next year.

Right, because with the emergence of Libra in crypto, everyone will look to Libra, because Libra is a platform of large and real companies, so it is natural that the emergence of Libra will bring changes to the cryptocurrency market.

I think see Libra much of a threat for bitcoin and other altcoins out in the market already. As far as I know Libra coin will be an Stable coin which will be pegged in USD if I am not mistaken so, basically LIBRA will be another ordinary coin which will not make any significant changes in the crypto market.

I am waiting to see how the development of altcoin will take place in 2020, as BTC is halving and its price will definitely increase, I am predicting that altcoin will continue to decline during the year. 2020 and new bottoms will continue to be established

all hope a reduction in halving bitcoin can make a significant surge in bitcoin prices. We hope before halving occurs, market conditions will change like 2017. the close of this year is coming soon, we can use a pretty good moment to buy cryptocurrency at the lowest price.

I have marked some event in 2020, that I'm following and don't want to miss an information about. They are: Libra release, Ethereum 2.0 release, Bitcoin halving. All other events ("big things") in cryptocurrency in 2020 are secondary.

the most interesting thing is point number 1 because I want to see when half the price of bitcoin decreases will it make a reflection of the price that is bigger than before or not. and so far I've really waited for that time to see the long awaited answer

Thanks for sharing the interesting article and your opinion regarding the subject. In my opinion, the US government intervention is not going to have a huge impact on the market due to the business realities. Halving will have a huge impact overall on altcoins and BTC price, the bull market is near. Sec and Telegram fight will end with the victory of Telegram, they have passed the minimum legal requirements AFAIK.

Indeed many people are not yet convinced to invest in crypto because it is too much risk. But I'm sure approaching half Bitcoin 2020 will be a lot of new investors to invest in crypto, even now it's been a lot of countries legalizing Bitcoin.

Regarding Libra Facebook, if so launched in the 2020 that will come then I am sure will be very booming in the crypto world. Even many crypto experts predict that Libra is a threat to other altcoins.  But I do not think, because with the presence of Libra will make the crypto world increasingly advanced.

I am also very curious about what's going to happen next year because so many big events are going to happen next year that the community is the one that is going to benefit from all the events that are going to happen next year, if you are not ready then you do not read all these news this 2019

Those events mentioned by the OP shows that there are really interesting things happening in the very near future for crypto in general. And most of them have positive impact on crypto. We all hope that those situations will contribute to more adoption of crypto and eventually increase the value of bitcoin.

Do you mean about his comment on twitter saying he will eat his D on television if his price prediction didn't come true?
Well, I still clearly remember that one, lmao. Just like yesterday. I think it was around 2017, so, it should be around by the end of 2020. I believe his prediction was the price of bitcoin will reach $500k, or is it $1 Million, huh, within 3 years since his statement.

---

Whatever it is, we're hoping for another great year for crypto world in the coming year. Which is another bull run be it in bitcoin or any other altcoins.
Especially bitcoin halving, the launch of Libra and Telegram coin.

With all these, one thing is quite standing out of the market that people should wait in the 2020, it is the market price of bitcoin that will be mainly affected by all these. If the market price increases way up higher, people will start adopting bitcoin and will be engage to the cryptocurrency space in which they will surely stay for a long period of times = a good market adoption that will make the price even higher. On the other hand, it can go around in the opposite. With all these news, people might start to adopt bitcoin and invest on it. Still resulting for a huge market price that will make us all benefit in the future.
It is evident that no matter what happen, there is always a reason for us to accumulate cryptocurrency.

I think right now we can only wait and continue to pay attention to the big things that happen. and pray that those big things can have a positive impact on the price of bitcoin. the past two years we have been in the bear market the value of bitcoin and altcoin has continued to decline. hopefully next year we can enter the bear market. and in 2021 I really hope that bitcoin can reach a new ATH.

In 2019, the Beijing government announced it wanted to make China the first country to issue its own cryptocurrency based on the Bitcoin-like transaction confirmation model. By 2020, Bitcoin will become the cryptocurrency of the central bank of China. This will be a big change.
There are still many major events that interest us in 2020. For example, the launch of Ethereum 2.0. It is a new choice in your investment.

I can't wait anymore, years 2020 will come soon and see some great things that will come on crypto. everything is still a question mark and only time can answer that. but I hope Libra coins will can be launched in the coming year. because I'm curious about what kind of surprise which will be provided from platform from this Facebook. hoping that in years 2020 the Altcoin season too will occur.

We have the same hope like them but so far I can't see good condition to start. In this red market only hope can make us stay and developer/ institutions will keep their work to create something new and different but can be use to support financial activity. Government is most institution we need to change public opinion about crypto and accept with wise regulation about crypto. I hope my government can do that in 2020, if not I'll take the same ways like what I do right now.

2020 is so big and people who are here this early and have accumulated enough good coins in their portfolio are lucky to witness all the events that are going to unfold this 2020, I think everything will start after the halving, many more good news are going to come, this is all what we've waited for in two years.

US intervention will always have a huge impact on the market because a lot of the market is still centralized, and a lot of trade and business on crypto is still based in the US.

Bitcoin itself will win out in the end for sure, but I can't really say the same for everything else. It will get bloody, Bitcoin will win, but altcoins, exchanges, services. Those will face the ax.

1. Yeah, I'm very excited about halving too. Wondering what effect it will bring to Bitcoin and crypto space in general. Wouldn't hurt if it fuels another major Bullrun for Bitcoin. I would love it lol.

2. Is Libra still going on? I thought it was dead after that congress hearing.

4. Another exciting development in crypto. Hope this will bring another hype to crypto (ETH, especially) as ETH price is not looking good lately. I think ETH deserves better.

well, I strongly agree with halving bitcoin that will have a good impact on bitcoin price movements and will surprise traders who have bought bitcoin at low prices because it will be increasingly difficult to get bitcoin and demand will increase.

Let's see, this is the most significant event for Bitcoin in the last 4 years. It will be very interesting to monitor the market at this time, it is clear that the volatility at this time will become very high and will give a good chance for profit.

only those who bought bitcoin at low prices  ? what the others   ? this halving can surprise everyone and not just those who are buying btc and what you mean will increase its difficulty  ? that is only for the miner's but for others that are only buying , the difficulty is still the same  .

there is no real difficulty on buying a bitcoin  . i cant wait to see 2020  .  let see if there will be really a big things to witness on this year  or we will be only get dissapointed again  .

Not only halving as mentioned by OP a lot of great events are going to happen in the Crypto, and this is the most exciting time since the creation of Bitcoin, I predict huge impact is going to happen in the middle of next year after the halving, I just hope many more news will come for the growth of Bitcoin.

Honestly it is hard to predict what will happened next. But I think bitcoin prediction will be more possible to be happened  because all we know that bitcoin has huge possibility to have a good price value when 2020 came. I don't think that bitcoin's price will continue to fall because many investors and users are set their mindset to buy bitcoin in a low price as a long term investment that may cause on it's price growth.

It's very common to hope big at the end of every year because it's like a mindset after the huge pump in late 2017! So, here we at the end of 2019, and making hopes for the new year. Though all you mentioned are big events in crypto and everyone is waiting for them but yet I think there will be no bull run in 2020 and Libra won't come and telegram will fail to launch. I am more convinced of 2021, not for 2020!

Yeah, US intervention has a big impact, not only the number of business bases there but the US is also a reference for world business. Everyone who runs a big business, certainly considering the US situation, that is why the US has a big impact.

And in my opinion the top exchange will not bleed when bitcoin wins, because all services and exchanges will always be correlated with bitcoin. Then when bitcoin win, everything will be fine.

It's almost 2020, people are having great expectations that next year there will be many big changes in the world of cryptocurrencies. I also hope that everything will be better.

There are many things that people are waiting for in 2020. The launch of Ethereum 2.0 is one of the things that are most interested in and I also look forward to it will make people excited  ;)

Right now, we are in the accumulating stage so we should buy bitcoins as much as we can. 2020 will be a big year and I know that there are potential coins that will pump like crazy. Bitcoin and Ethereum are both cryptocurrencies that we should add into our watchlists. Bitcoin and Ethereum are both coin that ruling the cryptocurrency market so I know that these coins are the most profitable in the market.

I am looking forward to the launch of Libra coin and the government's intervention in the cryptocurrency space, watching the Libra project to see if it is progressing and waiting for the launch of Ethereum 2.0. :)

It's more interesting to see the launching of Ethereum 2.0 than Libra. I think Libra is getting now a positive sentiment after they've been delayed and questioned by the US gov't but still it wouldn't make me interested with that coin. It will become another stable coin so there's no need for me to look at it or even at least worried about the market.

In the long run it will because it is visible in the charts that it did good.

I think the next big thing for 2020 is the BTC halving. Everyone is waiting to see what will happen to the price of BTC after the halving. Many feel it will be a repeat of 2017 while some feel it will just be normal.

I read the related news about inflation and the economic crisis that is predicted to occur next year. And cryptocurrency is believed to be an alternative solution to global financial problems. This is an interesting issue, considering that some big companies have begun to adopt blockchain technology and talk about cryptocurrency.

Halving will be the main event of 2020 for sure

How can you be sure that Halving will definitely be the main event in 2020?
Have you done some analysis of it or have you done some research on it for next year?

Of the events listed by the OP I think the halving of Bitcoin would have a significant impact although the pump in the price might not happen at exactly halving but its very obvious it would happen in the aftermath of the halving
when the demand of Bitcoin would outweigh supply while other events are also important as well.

I don't have any interest on Libra coins,  because this is just a stablencoins with reversible transaction.  What im waiting to happen is bitcoin bull run that o think price of this will increase but not like before that bitcoin price increase up to 20,000$ (1 Bitcoin) . Because many people will sell immediately to gain and secure profit.

Because it is the big next event for Bitcoin this upcoming year, and many people and investors are looking forward to that when something happens, they are checking how much people will invest before they will give a shot again, as we all know many people has lose confidence in crypto including Bitcoin.

I think we need to watch the bitcoin halving and some new altcoins which maybe will bring really something new for crypto, and why not until then to get some coins so we can make a profit.

The most exciting things for me are BTC halving and TON network launch. Those events should help to raise industry from ashes, but I am afraid of BTC halving at the same point, because if the dominance would further increase, altcoins will just die.

A lots of news is waiting for us, for especially Ethereum 2.0 and Facebook Libra coin. Bitcoin halving can't any impacs on cryptocurrency because this effect for for 2021 and this will work perfectly. Ethereum has to release another two hard fork in next year. So overall next year could be better for cryptocurrency.

I don't really care about the Libra coin though I expect it to have some impact crypto-sphere once it's launched. What I'm getting excited about is the Bitcoin halving because I think this is the time for the market to recover and make another history for all-time-high.

yes, of course we all expect these 5 things to happen in 2020. especially with half of bitcoin reduced it is likely to affect the market situation for the better, and I also personally want to know about facebook coins, if they are actually released in public, then this will increase the passion of the crypto industry and other positive impacts including attracting the adoption of new users.

I am really expecting much positive returns from crypto market 2020 especially this China government regulation and other regulations which will really eliminate fake projects and exchanges. And with bitcoin half will also moon bitcoin and once bitcoin moons market will definitely bounce back strong. So I am expecting much good volumes from crypto comes 2020.

I am expecting so many good things from crypto market and I am sure someday crypto market will fulfil all my expectations and will become so good once again but till then we will have to keep patience and keep holding as selling now will be selling for panic which is worst thing ever. I hope in 2020 crypto will get new progress that will be amazing.

I think 2020 will be the year where Crypto will try to shine and clean up its act so it has a more glossy appeal. In order to become mainstream, it needs to have a veneer of sanity surrounding it, not like the early days of the wild west of lawlessness and craziness. Although those were the years that made a few people filthy rich and there was a real transfer of wealth going on. Now the wealthy are taking back that wealth through playing and shorting this market like never before to suppress the prices and the market in general. I think there will be some positive outcomes and maybe the really good projects may still be able to grant speculators some really good returns, but I believe this halving will be far different regarding Bitcoin than the previous ones, because of the impact Bitcoin Futures had in this market. More and more countries are embracing the Blockchain and the technology, but we need to see what impact this will actually have on the cryptocurrency aspect of this technological breakthrough.

There are so many things coming out in 2020 such as Libra launch by facebook and this 2.0 version of ethereum is also much awaited because previous ethereum has great market and helped many people in making good money. Ethereum has always been the choice of traders who could not afford bitcoin because it follows the trends of bitcoin very closely and is also capable of generating nice profits.

My expectations are small base on the current happenings in cryptocurrency world. Many expected much from cryptocurrency in 2019 but none was forthcoming till this moment because of unforseen circumstances surrounding the market. I watch for an increase above what we have seen 2019.

Everyone certainly also wants that in 2020 there will be coins that pump up and have the potential to make a profit and it is true that you say that it is better to buy more bitcoin to prepare or for us to invest and hope that 2020 will provide a large profit, even though We don't know what will happen later but I also believe that BTC and Eth are two coins that will benefit.

What improvements have you witnessed this year? the market situation is indeed always unpredictable, because it is the unexpected that makes a lot of people disappointed and have to make a more analysis of the current market.

I am sure in 2020 something really good will happen to crypto coins and coins will rise to huge extent, may be new co ins will join but we should keep supporting high potential coins like bitcoin or Ethereum as I hope we can have more profit in these coins than applying unknown coins. For entire crypto market I hope 2020 will prove as revolutionary year and will make improvement in crypto market.

2019 has false hopes, BAAKT which is expected to make bitcoin prices fly, in the end also has no effect, this makes us learn that don't expect too much for 2020

Your expectations are the same to me because whenever I expected high by following the hype and updates, my expectations went wrong. So, I am not waiting for a big change in 2020, maybe the Bitcoin halving will be good for crypto but that will happen in 2021, not in the next year, this is just my personal view.

Halving will be for sure the biggest thing what will affect the whole crypto market. Second big think what I am waiting for is ETF that could be finally launched next year.

It's kinda sad that this is the biggest thing because it's nothing something a group workef together to make and it was set in stone from bitcoin's beginnt even. Progress on tech is also there, I just hope lightning would see more acceptance but that just can't be for surem

Yep, that's the one. I clearly hope his prediction comes true, but realistically I think it won't. And then it should be interesting (if he keeps his promise, of course).

Cryptocurrency is still an emerging technology so it's natural for it to take a while to progress and at the moment it has stalled a little, but lots of important developments are underway as you mention and some of these may be successfully launched next year so there's no reason to doubt the potential

I'm much more interested in the issue of ethereum 2.0 which would bring greater scalability to the ethereum protocol. I heard this new development could bring a remarkable impact to the value of ethereum which has depreciated substantially.

I hope 2020 will be a turning point year for the cryptocurrency market after weakening for 2 years since 2017. With Bitcoin Halving momentum, I think this can happen and I hope that investor confidence in the cryptocurrency market will increase and the reduction in scam new projects

I doubt Libya coin will have a chance since big players like PayPal and they rest are abandoning the project before release, they complained about lack of regulations

I have never seen in my over five years that I am in the Crypto industry that a lot of events are happening, and these events are enough to make people who are not yet aware about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency to take notice of all of these events, launching of Libra is on top of the list that will make an impact, I believe good or bad publicity is still publicity, there are events for newbies and there are big events for old players here.

Governments are more worried about regulation that is why it looks like Libra is never going to have that chance because its not guaranteed, no assurance of sort, Libra existence will surely add a plus to crypto adoption so i do hope things to well for Libra

I think the biggest achievement of the crypto space by next year is the launch of Libra coin, if that would happen close to the halving schedule then probably those two great news might help hype the market again.

Libra is good because it will help to improve adoption, although that's clearly a stable coin but it would bring positive effect to bitcoin and altcoins as well because we are in one market which is the crypto market.

In my opinion, the big thing in 2019 that has been mentioned in the opening post that has the most influence on changes in cryptocurrency
prices is Bitcoin halving and launching of ethereum 2.0. The rest will not significantly influence the price of cryptocurrency. As we know that
regarding halving bitcoin there is no question, because it is clear that seeing the two halving previously can make prices cryptocurrency,
especially bitcoin can rise to the top. Then most likely the third halving that will occur in mid-2020 will also be able to make the price of
cryptocurrency go up. Then if we talk about ethereum 2.0, surely we are very sure that the project will run successfully, which where ethereum
developers if they make projects will seriously handle it. So no wonder ethereum is still the strongest altcoins to date. And if launching  ethereum 2.0
 succeeds at least it will have an effect on ethereum prices that will rise.

Personally, I believe that there will be changes, and cryptocurrency will also be popular in 2020. Accordingly, there will be changes, and all cryptocurrency holders will see this. But all changes will occur very slowly, since we will not see fundamental changes. And also according to all forecasts of 2020, good changes will occur in the cryptocurrency market. So all that remains is to wait and observe all the events.

in 2020 there were some news that hit crypto, one of which was halving bitcoin and the launch of ETH 2.0. From the history of halving in the previous year the price of bitcoin has increased quite high. Is 2020 bitcoin past 15000 dollar (I'm sure that will happen). 
I have also read a new thread discussing that a Germany bank will use crypto in 2020. hopefully what we hope can happen. Buy btc at this time, hold it until halving.

2020 will be probably the most important year in crypto history, with upcoming hard fork price should rise and with that more and more people join cryptocurrencies, so the technology need to be ready for mass adoption.
Ethereum 2.0 and NEO 3.0 are good examples.

I think Libra cannot launch yet by 2020. A lot of governments around the world have a negative view on cryptocurrencies because they are afraid that cryptocurrencies will influence the rules of the world financial markets. Libra still faces opposition from the US government, so far there is no indication that the US government will loosen regulations to allow Libra to be marketed.

Everyone is saying Bitcoin halving will happen in the next year and why again you are predicting it in the year 2021. Everyone patiently waiting for 2020 because when we see past years the price of Bitcoin increased only after halving. We have to wait and see how far the prices will increase after halving.

There are some sources claiming that the ETH upgrade is still three to five years from implementation. Accordingly, engineers for the open source blockchain stage are currently chipping at an existing bug fix kit to improve the security and certainty of the system.
So I think ETH upgrade is unlikely to be done in 2020.

2019 was not as happening as 2017 was for the supporters of bitcoin and crypto currencies. A couple of months ago, bitcoin showed some increase in values but that again did not last for a long period. People are hoping for big increase in the value of bitcoin overall increasing the value of crypto market in the coming year. It would be a great relief for the supporters of bitcoin.

Indeed the year 2020 is loaded with so much expectations especially the bitcoin halving, I really can't wait to see how it goes, so much expectation on it's impact also the launch of ethereum 2.0 is another one in line.

To be honest, I expect a huge bullrun during the next bull market, otherwise, the investors will leave the crypto market. It is just a time problem after they become an impatient the markets will clear the weak hands, it will become a game for the strong hands. Whales have all control and I don't want to plan without knowing their plans in 2020.

I no longer have high hopes for the growth of the crypt. All I know is that the situation needs to improve and we are expecting very positive news for next year. There is a time for everything.

When you are seeing the market right now and the what we called that as a halving effect has already started. ethereum 2.0 will come in the upcoming years and that's actually will not be used as a trend to bet by crypto users. Bitcoin halving is the only thing that will be worth to bet on it.

Bitcoin Halving might be the awaited moment in the cryptocurrency market because this moment in my opinion will affect the recovery of the cryptocurrency market after 2 years of decline. If the market reaction is good to the moment Bitcoin Halving, I think this will affect the movement of altcoin prices and it is possible that the market cap will recover to at least $ 500 billion

Do not bet on bitcoin halving, anything can happen and disappointment can get in the game as well, the last halving record shows that bitcoin doesn't surge after the block get verified, don't get your hopes too high

I hope that when halving occurs, the price of BTC will pump and the bullrun will occur as well as the price of altcoin which will follow the price of BTC. If my target is reached, I will sell all my altcoins and start investing in bitcoin.

The warning you give is good brother, but those who have high expectations or will will ignore it, because they are no longer afraid of the risks that will occur at any time.

Yeah, the same I think in 2020 crypto will make a huge pump and prices of the coin will be higher as higher we have dreamed for. We can hope for best from bitcoin as in 2017 price was so high and it again fell in 2018 so now according to this volatility I am expecting something really high from the crypto market in 2020, I am sure bitcoin will make unbeatable progress.

I see many goodness to come next year from bitcoin to etherium and some other altcoins but bitcoin news next year will increase many altcoins. Many good expectuons next year.

Hoping for no delays next year because it can change the mood of investors and the hype might be gone easily. I rooting for Libra and Telegram ICO and I do hope for their success despite of criticism, we have in-need of those bigger companies to adopt and support cryptocurrency. We have so much to look for in 2020 but don’t expect too much for you not to get hurt again.

I am really looking forward to the next bitcoin halving next year as I think it will be the one who will trigger bull run. As for Libra, I personally dont like that. Too much centralized, but no doubt it will boostly promote the cryprocurrency in every country. Hope to see some massive adoption in 2020 like I can live with cryptocurrency alone.

Ethereum 2.0 would be the first we know the answer.
bcz it would happen in early 2020.
then the others will follow to know.

One thing I glad see this, there is many hope for crypto in 2020
it means there is big chance to see another bull run, if those even can work well

Many people are waiting for bitcoin halving in 2020 but for several months later bitcoin keep with lower price and not have space in higher price, almost one year bitcoin looks not profitable with lower price always, never have chance when we can get much profit with bitcoin and altcoin, how long we wait for bitcoin growing with higher price above $16k.

ethereum might indeed be a huge asset in the crypto market. but the reforms currently planned by ethereum will not have such a large impact on the market as a whole.
I'm interested in bitcoin updates. I think this will make market conditions change more quickly. moreover, it is related to bitcoin inventory. although it will not immediately be seen when demand increases bitcoin can do a high pump.

Are you out this year, because since the beginning of this year bitcoin dominated the market, from $3k+ dollars last January up to this point, bitcoin still give benefits to the lucky holders and investors who believe with this assets. Then next year, expecting halving also have relevance with good market movements maybe not early of the second quarter we will see the start of it's rise.

of the five big things that will happen in 2020. in my opinion there are 3 things that are considered by many crypto users, namely bitcoin will be reduced by half in May. and all crypto users expect bitcoin to run after half being reduced. the second launch of the facebook libra coin. everyone would want to know whether by 2020 Facebook will really launch Facebook. some people doubt that libra can be released because until now libra has not received permission from the congress and the United States government and has been abandoned by some of its supporters. the last thing noticed by crypto users is the launch of ethereum version 2.0.

Have you seen libra 2.0 update? last week I saw them updating their 2.0 roadmap to speed up the launch process, which is a positive sign for Libra being banned by many governments around the world and investors are gradually leaving the Libra alliance. I believe that with these updates and changes, Libra could launch by the end of 2020 if possible

if that turns out to be true I wonder how they can handle the government backlash across the world and which users are they targetting. I don't think it's possible for them to run it where even the government disapprove the whole project to begin with? and if the investors are leaving Libra, their coin will supposedly smaller than what initially planned? to see they plan to speed up the launch process really outside my expectation.

The odd part is that those investors and partners leaving Libra not because they don't want to be part of it anymore but because of many governments especially the US flexing their muscles bringing pressure to those big companies.

steem will launch the smart media token, something similar to what some cryptos have of creating tokens using the steem protocol, and the hivenmind that would be communities within steem, I always talk about how big companies are behind this and everything else, it would be an interesting event, and it will be for 2020.

2020 is getting hotter in crypto world and this is a big evidence that crypto became very well known as the time passes by. What I am expecting by 2020 is the market will shift from bear to bull and reason will be the bitcoin halving,lauching of ethereum 2.0 and more people will adapt crypto currencies.

There is a very less chance for Libra to launch by next year because of the obstacles that it is facing right now and the US already intervened the launch of it.

There's more to look forward even after these events happened and only then we can tell how it will affect the crypto as a whole.

But I think it will have a positive impact especially the btc halving and thats the event btc holders been waiting. There's a chance for the price to show improvement thus many of investors are accumulating before this happen.

Nice summarize of all possible things we can watch out for 2020. I am also looking forward whether gram tokens will be launching as well this coming 2020.

Eth 2.0 transferring to POS blockchain will probably a big event in crypto some will say this could change the system for eth removing the ability to scale using POW. But some favor this change of mechanism for eth. POS is much easier and much lighter to PoW so adjustments will be big. Hope the price could bounce back during the transition.

I really do anticipate whole lot from crypto comes 2020, so many good news and many growth will come, 2020 has been a year people talk good about market growth  and good it is we are soon to get there. Can't wait to see it.

On the off chance that I need to make a decision with previous history of bitcoin halving at that point the appropriate response is nothing will occur after the splitting occurred, many will be fizzled on the grounds that they accept cost will soar after the halving however I don't think in this way, it's a continuous procedure to see development and new cash must stream in or else we will continue getting regular old outcome

just because people talk alot of goodstuffs about it does it already mean that 2020 will be a good year compare to this year and on the previous years  ? no it does not what it means dude   .  imagine same stuffs we did last years but the outcome is totall different  . we shouldnt dream to much so that we dont fall too hard   .  just wait and accept whatever results come .   better if we stick to what we do now and improve this tactic so that we can prepare for latter stages  .

that's an interesting thing. where can I find more details about that? would appreciate if you share direct link. it could save my time from searching about it.

I've always been a fan of coins with POS blockchain. they are easier, smoother and a person who can't do high equipment mining can also earn some by staking those coins. this new upgrade in Eth would be a great thing for me personally.

For me I'm more and more existing about next year. 2 things is very interesting for me one is Bitcoin halving ( May 2020) and second is Ethereum 2.0. altcoins has support for Ethereum where Bitcoin halving increase the price of Bitcoin. Although Bitcoin effect will be from Q4 2020 but Ethereum will be Q3 next year.

You can read all about Steem and SMT directly from the Steemit blog here. It's important to note that Steemit is only one application built on the steem blockchain. There are many more dapps built on the steem blockchain. Splinterlands is the most successful blockchain game in the world and it's built on the steem blockchain.

Steem is the number one biggest GEM in the market IMO.

The year 2020 is indeed loaded with great events. The bitcoin halving is one of the most popular events which has the potential of causing a tremendous change in the cryptocurrency space. I learnt the halving takes place ones in four years and could lead to a drastic change in the value of Bitcoin. Another event am excited about is the ethereum 2.0 project which would also be making a substantial impact in the ethereum blockchain.

Mass adoption enabled by easy understanding - we hope to bring something to this effort in 2020. 

Aricoin actually supports just as many users, if not more than the potential offered by Libra as we support payments via social profile URLs already: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=909186.0

People keep talking about Ethereum here. I just feel like saying that the ICO boom is never happening again.  ::)

I like the topics being raised. All of it are all important events for next year. For me Im interested on bitcoin halving how does this will affect on its price and even in the case of miners.

Another thing is if Libra coin can pass SEC judgement ruling on their case. Anyway we will all be shocked for the events next year hoping for another bull season to come again.

Yes, all of these 10 big events are enough to predict a better year in 2020! I hope the bitcoin halving and Ethereum 2.0 will change many things, a new history may happen. Therefore I have no interest in Libra anymore but I really want to see the Libra TON blockchain live. I hope everything will be connected to our desires

in 2020, libra will launch, so we will see this centralized coin competition, hopefully like what you said, because of course libra will be controlled and cooperate with the government. I hope good developments occur in the crypto world

I'm still putting my hopes for Bitcoin in the coming year. Bitcoin halving and other big events could possibly bring a huge impact on its price so I'm putting my hopes on it. The market is always unpredictable and it could possibly hit the best situation in 2020. That's the reason why we are advised to buy Bitcoin while the prices are still affordable.

Now we do not see any guarantees that next year will bring big profits to Bitcoin holders. the possibility that Bitcoin will either fall or remain at the same price level is very high. I think that bitcoin halving can give positive results after its implementation but not before, as it was 4 years ago.

we really cannot expect fully in the coming year to be able to get a large profit, I also do not trust fully about halving bitcoin in the years to come but if it is profitable then I will be happy because the price of bitcoin has been too long in the current price range

The further release of Ethereum 2.0 and bitcoin halving are two positive news that would boost the crypto market but news about Libra and that of case with telegram are basically like a drop in the ocean. It will have little or no effect on the on the crypto industry. Next year is certainly going to be a big year for the development and adoption of cryptocurrencies.

I look forward to launching the Libra coins. I'm curious to see how Libra Coins play a role in the global market.

In 2020 many great things will happen, and I myself don't know what effect this will have on the development of crypto. Besides the halving bitcoin, there will be the launch of ethereum 2.0. But what makes me curious is the launch of ethereum 2.0. The question arises in my mind as to what ethereum 2.0 is, what is different from ethereum 2.0 with ethereum which is now circulating in the market.

I also hope that ETH can grow also this year, if only the development of ETH 2.0 can have a good impact then ETH can rise again but I personally am still waiting for the development of Bitcoin prices first because I am sure that bitcoin can have a good impact on altcoin including ETH

Upcoming big things were very excited to see and a lot of people dropped their hope to bitcoin halving because they says if halving successfully can lifted bitcoin price then all of cryptocurrency price will be dominated by bull run and me also very curious how far Libra project will be successfully because this project already popular although still not launched yet and most people too always predict the impact for cryptocurrency development

Right in this era crypto coins are making progress and I think in this list of growing coins I think ETH is going to make good price and after some time May be ripple as well but the best coin to see rising is bitcoin because bitcoin is having huge attentions from investors and marketing people who want to see crypto making wide value in 2020.

I also have expectation from ETH and from Bitcoin in the coming year that these two coin will do something greater as in this year not only bitcoin will get attention because of halving but ETH is also going to get attention from the investors because ETH will change to POS algorithm and then almost all of the ETH miners will buy and collect ETH to mine with their wallet.

Long term benefit from this halving will be huge so no investor should not lose their interest on the recent price dumps before the bitcoin halving which is just the accumulation period for the big whales so make sure you also used the situation which could favours you in the 2021 or later.

2020 is a year filled with potential and we just might be seeing worldwide adoption and the altszn this year.
Anyways the events you mentioned are those that are scheduled but don't forget that the biggest news that has rocked the Cryptocurrency Sphere in the past are unscheduled events that took us by storm and wasn't scheduled to happen until it happened suddenly.

I guess the big thing that is most awaited this year is the bitcoin halving even the mainstream media is talking positively about it and how it is a good investment in the last decade. The question is will halving will carry significance and finally will see a bullrun or will it be just a normal halving.
The other interesting topic that you mention is SEC vs Telegram, why is SEC intervening with telegram's operations ? is telegram an US company ?

yes 2020 is a special year because many major events will occur this year. and all hope that these events will have a good impact on the cryptocurrency market. and the big events that are the most noticed are about bitcoin halving day. all hope that after half the bitcoin will be bull run like it did in previous years. hopefully bitcoin can pump up as we wish.

Beside that, I'm sure about people want to see bullish market, new projects are run smoothly, and there are no scam project that fool the other. For 2020, I just wanna see bullish market for this year, it will give people get more profit and no regret after bought some altcoins.

That is already been expected after halving was done. We will see bullish market though it is expected to happen after a few months (not exactly after halving) but still bull market is coming.
For the scam projects, it's unavoidable. Expect that once crypto world make a name again, scam projects will also come.

Well, I guess we share almost the same thing because those that you have mentioned are the ones I am also really expecting to watch this year round of 2020. What I am really interested with and I guess many people are also interested with is the upcoming event which is the Bitcoin halving that is said to happen in the month of May this year. I am waiting to see what can totally happen once this event was done and how it will affect not just Bitcoin but the whole crypto space as well. In terms of Libra coin from Facebook, I am waiting to see if it will be a successful launch and what will be its great impact to be done on the crypto market. As of the other topics that you have mentioned which I somehow know a little bit doesn't concern be too much because it seems to be an issue since then specially for the part of SEC vs Telegram.

Watching temtum deploy and execute on their MOU with a nation state to run their currency is certainly what i am looking forward to

The first mass used crypto, by millions as a currency is designed to be used

That and the price will moon if this happens !

It's not before the big bullish trend happened and it has started with the bitcoin halving. The next few years will be the same as it again. Bitcoin will get another halving time this year and that makes the price of bitcoin will be very valuable. The fact that so many people are betting on it right now and we have faith with bitcoin to bring the next bullish trend,

The race to a national currency has begun and TemTum is in the lead!

Temtum in the future
No other blockchain comes close
https://twitter.com/wearetemtum/status/1217450114064756737

That's right, the biggest events will happen in April this year. Events that can have a key impact on the industry. Most interesting is how the US regulator will manage the telegram and the Libra project.
If we talk about the bitcoin halving, then in my opinion Bitcoin will first respond with a fall and only after a year will we see significant growth. Although who knows.

Bitcoin's halving is most awaited moment in 2020 we can expect more growth in pricing from next 97 days,
Other hand ETH (2.0) also pass through some important phase in 2020, so both are important to watch !

Good Luck
Thanks
Regards

That is what everyone is waiting for, because these two are the most important things happening in 2020, which will easily drive the market into positive way, from the past 2 days we are seeing altcoin prices are increasing slowly and this will easily impact on potential altcoin to increase their prices.

Haha, 2020 has arrived. As Bitcoin halving time is getting closer, the currency circle will become more and more lively. Bitcoin halving is definitely the most important thing in 2020. There are many other cryptocurrencies that are halving in half. It is worth our pursuit. We can be in various encrypted news. Go find some cryptocurrency halving time.

I hope you have prepared a lot of bitcoin that can generate a lot of profit when halving occurs, the price of bitcoin and some other cryptocurrency has increased in price so you should be able to take advantage of moments like that, don't miss that golden opportunity.

I suggest you stay focused on bitcoin and not on altcoin because of the high risk when halving.

Yes people are eagerly waiting for progress in cryptocurrency as the recent past two years did not do well for the crypto industry. To some extent, bitcoin halving and launching of Ethereum 2.0's are regular things to see in the crypto space. And they will happen. What is interesting is Facebook's libra will get permission to go ahead or not? Libra will make most impact on the crypto space, I believe.

Yes, of course, a lot of news from your list can affect the cryptocurrency market this year, but the most important event of this year is of course Bitcoin Halving and all investors are waiting for Bitcoin this year to show incredible growth and we hope that altcoins with the help of Bitcoin Halving will also increase in price.

Ethereum 2.0 launching is much promising but not sure about Libra. We did not see much progress in this project after its announcement. Btc price is already increasing and i think its in a very good position right now. Hope this will continue. I think there are some other projects that we should look into.

I am waiting for all of these events as well. In my opinion, Bitcoin halving will have a positive impact on the whole cryptocurrency market. As of Libra, Telegram Open Network and Ethereum 2.0, it would be nice if at least one of them launched this year.

I am also hoping the same but even with Libra to launch this year, that would already be big enough and we will feel the same hype like early 2018, and this would also add some hype on the halving as people believe it will make crypto market bullish, especially bitcoin.

ETH will continue to suffer without some big announcement but I am certain soon ETH 2.0 will be launch, they sure will launch it at the right timing.

The first three things you mentioned are what I’ve been looking forward to.

First of all I have been looking forward to the Facebook Libra when it will be released. They have not announced any date since they started having issues with the government, announcement that they have made is that it would be in 2020 and nothing else was said apart from that, no month and date was mentioned.

Hope they come to an agreement with the government and release it this year. Another thing is the Bitcoin halving, I just believe that the halving will make a good impact in the market. There will likely be an increase.

Yes the bitcoin halving will be the most awaited event that will happen this year but of course the other events that the OP have said will also have effect on the crypto space, i am waiting for the companies to start considering cryptocurrency in their next projects like what samsung and htc did in theirs because this will have good effect on the future of cryptocurrency but let us first focus on this year specially on the bitcoin halving for lot of investors are waiting for it, waiting for their long awaited profits.

Bitcoin halving must be the biggest even in this year and that will give a big impact on the price of crypto. The impact has already happened with the whole of markets were getting huge bullish trend caused by the bitcoin pump. Libra and telegram will give nothing and i suggest you forget about that.

We must really pay attention to the halving that is going to happen in April-May 2020. It will for surely gonna have a huge impact to the markets current price since it will make the bitcoins supply into half. It will for surely gonna affect the price of other altcoins since they are dependent on what will be the price of bitcoin. Lets just hope for a highest price that bitcoin might possible to reach.

   Only thing I watch for is how to accumulate more. How to find money to invest, how to earn more. It's what I care about, my portfolio.
I don't care about governments and their decisions. I don't care what others think about crypto-currencies. Who wish to learn more have
my attention. Who wish to develop has my attention. But who is forcing traditional economy system when we have Blockchain now should
be ignored.
   Watch yourself, try to be better person and everything will come on it's place. We don't need to spend energy on irrelevant things, focus
on what is important. It's the best way for making long-term progress.

We are all hoping that this year will be a fruitful year. We are waiting for what will happen when bitcoin halving occurs if bitcoin will have a pump after that and we are also looking forward to the growth of the market itself after experiencing a downfall. About the libra project, I think they will succeed because of the scope of their token, just look how many are there using Facebook and as of now they already have marketplace. Maybe we can see that libra can be used when buying stuff there and can be converted into fiat.

We should wait for that issue to be solved and also wait for the bitcoin halving and then we can see the results. It has a great impact on the community and to the market also. We just still need to support every project as of now and hold every token that we have so that if the market pumps we can now sell it at a good price.

The market is awakening at last, I am waiting for some really nice periods for Bitcoin and main altcoins this year. Who knows - maybe we will see even some kind of ICO rebirth this year. Maybe it will be called differently though :)

If only we can predict the future; well actually that's what makes us human. Some of these things have been experienced while some are still waiting to be expected. Bitcoin halving has come and gone and it was worth it, at least some people who are still new to the crypto space were able to understand what it is all about. As for that of Libra, we are still waiting although it can be seen as forgotten. Yes, of course we are still waiting for Ethereum 2.0 upgrade and we can only but anticipate how it will be. And lastly, that of telegram has come to an end. Actually, I will say, so far till now, it has all been good, even in the midst of this pandemic the crypto space is still standing strong.

We all hope for regulations but now I think it's never going to happen, CB are now into their own crypto coins which will make them exclude other coins, CB coins will be the only regulated crypto currency in the world, as for libra coin I can't say since I can't read the future, the only thing I'ma waiting for is ethereum 2.0 launch

New Year 2020, there are several notable trends and movements in the blockchain and cryptocurrency area to watch. Some of the key trends we outlined this year will persist in 2020. Users of blockchain and distributed ledger technology will further specialize in operational matters, deployment flexibility and, interconnectivity. They will search for enhanced services and gear offerings that meet their cryptocurrency.

What you said here about big things happening is really manifesting. There is serious interesting in crypto from whole lots of person. What I can really tell is that the Vivid 19 made a lot of persons stated at home so staying online became the next normal. They are less busy and can look out for opportunities to make investment.

It all also depends on the willingness of everyone in terms of investment, sometimes there are also people who are busy but still want to invest both in crypto and other places, so not all people who do not have a busy life want to invest, even though it looks like an opportunity good for him.

Obviously  we the entire be expecting these 5 belongings to ensue in 2020. mainly with partly of bitcoin bargain it is prone to impinge on the bazaar position for the better, and I moreover for myself feel like to realize about facebook coins, if they are in point of fact out in public, at that moment this will redouble the passion of the crypto engineering and other definite impacts as well as attracting the adoption of new users.

I do not see any reason why I should watch Telegram or Libra. These are not cryptocurrencies but maybe another financial tools that do not have a great chance of success. Rather watch true cryptocurrencies - Ethereum 2.0 update and Cardano Mainnet this year.

In 2020, Covid certainly brought a lot of new eyes to Bitcoin as people looked to Bitcoin specifically as a (short term) investment in the hope that they can make up for the shortfall in their income this year. Some will stay, and some will leave disillusioned.

From a development perspective I think there will be a lot of new blood entering the space this year as a lot of talented young programmers will opt out of a year of online university and start working on blockchain projects that interest them.

Seems that for the first half of the year nothing too substantial happened. The halving didn´t had much impact, the Ethereum update got postponed, and everything else is slowed down because of Covid. Sure there were updates, like with Theta and Google, just today the interoperability ICON release (my favorite topic, sry), or Charlie Lee and Litecoin still not dead! The onyl good thing about our current situation is that more and more people get interested in cryptos and the fact that the OTC market is growing is also a good sign. I just hope the second half of 2020 gets less turbulent
