A friend of mine told me that his dad (successful investor) their prediction is that there will be a economic crash in about 1.5 years from now. I think that it could be plausible.
Now what if it happens somewhere around that time. A lot of stocks will go down, also the house market will go down into the ground and buying a house with a mortgage will be with sky-high interest.

If and I say IF it happends will it be a good idea to buy bitcoin before the crash or will bitcoin crash like the others. There are a lot of factors going on. Like Renting a place out for the BTC miners ECT it will have a expensive tag to run and operate the blockchain during a crash.

Anyone any toughs? Also where are you going to put your BTC/cash into?

I mean just look at the house market here in the Netherlands. It skyrocketed so fast.

EDIT:

https://ibb.co/dSvwmV

Lets take a look at the stock market from all over the world. This is a period of 52 weeks (1 year) as you can see almost all market exchanged went down some points. Except for a few e.g Russia. What russia has bin doing the last decade is buying 200 tonnes of gold every year. I'm not a economic guru, but I can safely say that this is not okay.

EDIT:


I agree, but isnt the real estate/property sector one of the biggest? Properties rise but paychecks does not, what happens if you’re not able to pay the mortgage because the place where you work went bankrupt? Now multiply that with a nation.

Theres a banker I  know personally (has nothing to do with prediction just to make it clear) she told me that it went very great at the bank she works (ING dutch bank) lots of mortgages where handled out. This was 7 months ago...

More mortgages = more chance to not able to pay it off due loss of work or some other reason.

To me its a ticking time bomb with no timer on it, its just sits and wait till shit hits the fan. The onnly thing we as investors can do is have some kind of backup plan ready for this kind of doomsday.

May happen in 2019, it may happen in 5 years.

"Everything is fine, there is nothing to worry about"

I know the Dad you're talking about is Alex Jones on InfoWar LOL.

The good news is there are millions of people saying the same thing over the years. Still, the central banks have always had powerful machines to print more banknotes (sarcasm). ZeroHedge is the site where the economic crash propaganda is published daily.
We will always some economic troubles like with Greece or Venezuela, but a worldwide crash has a lot of less chance to happen.

I am not planning to change anything, money comes and go, and I apply the diversity rule

Don’t worry much, my son (3 years old) father in law is a legendary investor (20 years or more from now) will predict that alien 👽 is gonna trade with us and invested on our planet 🌍. #Super

            

What crash are we talking here? Economic crash? lol

You can say that anytime you want but you can't stop the people investing, and lot of people are already claiming that economy of cryptocurrency would crash this year and that blah blah blah nah whatever they were all the same though. People are tired of this so-called experts trying to predict what's going to happen next after a big event was started.

Used your common sense here.

1.5 years is just an inch away and do you really think government will not do anything within that period.


No one knows what will happened and the effect of it in cryptocurrency so it's all about your decision out of your own self analyzation.

If that's the case then you must do your assignment now and plan a strategy on what will you do because 1.5 years is again, just an inch away from now before this economic crash prediction by your fortune teller friend will happened. 8)

i'm the same way. i've been hearing about the imminent economic doomsday for decades now, and for a time, i was one of those crazy fearmongerers too. what a waste of time and energy!

sure, an economic crash is eventually coming---that's how market cycles work. but anybody who thinks they can time it correctly is also batshit crazy. at some point, you stop taking it too seriously and do the only thing you can: diversify and hedge your risks and don't put all your eggs in one basket.

as a trader, i also know that "he who panics first panics best". when the next major crash comes, most people will be sitting through the whole thing in disbelief, doing nothing but watching their portfolios crumble and wondering how anyone could still be selling.

I don't even know that guy. He already sold some of his assets, still an interesting subject to me. What would the best bet be? I got some money left here and would like to know IF such scenario comes into place what is the best strat to go with?

investing cryptocurrency using property platform maybe good idea

The thing is, there are a lot of central banks buying gold. For e.g Hungary central bank bought 28000kg worth of gold, must be something right? Or maybe they like jewelry. EDIT: The last time they bought a lot of gold was in 1986.

I think no one could ever predict the future because of the instability of cryptocurrency..but the near fact that adoption is happening every single minute in a day i think cryptocurrency would probably be more trendy in the coming gneration and when more and more people or merchants accept it as a mode of payment .

Having predictions each year is overrated, just saying. Many experts saying that reasons all over just to take blatant predictions or speculations. On crypto currency other side, well it's just same same as always. Crypto experts saying all the FUDs over the internet just to have a good price to buy and only benefited them as always. No one can predict whats gonna be next year but let's just stay positive once again because it will surely benefit as all in the future.

I will quote Vitalik, economic crisis by the end of the 2021. Here is why he made this prediction and why I joining :"Following the jarring statement, Buterin said in the same tweet that he made the prediction just so he could have a chance (which he estimated to be 25 percent) of later being credited as “a guru who predicted the last financial crisis.” 25% doesn't sound so bad at all, maybe I will be a financial guru in couple years, I will add to that bitcoin 100k dollars by the end of the same year, or more, if I hit both predictions I will wrote a book and I will have my own TV show.

If that happens, I will decide to hold my Bitcoin at all costs. Because I believe that only Cryptocurrency can bring me profit as the world economy goes down. The real estate market goes down and that will make me lose a lot of advantages. Because I'm only knowledgeable about real estate and Cryptocurrency.

I see this is only a statement with a lack of strong support. the weakening and strengthening of the economy is due to many trigger factors, you mention economic destruction and this is my fear. inflation in each country will continue to grow but each country will anticipate the economic collapse with various policies.
crypto will be there to provide benefits to the user community and this will have an economic improvement impact as well

if two economic giant countries are still at odds, it will certainly have a long impact on economy following year. i don't know what would happen if their trade war worsened

Im getting too anxious with all this prediction, i think the aim is too create chaos upon  weak investors
But its all just fake news ,but im giving credit to the manipulators coz i think they are doing it great  ;D

What have to care about economic crash or not, just focus on bitcoin when will to the moon, We are waiting whit bitcoin could raised up again to higher price and waiting when bitcoin really growing up fast, we can see after bitcoin raised up altcoin will be the same too.

There's also who have predicted that we should be seeing some semblance of a crash this year. We have seen lots of signs though so I wouldn't be surprised if one day we woke up and the global financial crisis has taken place. What we can do is save and prepare for such disasters, because believed me I experienced it in 2008 (I'm out of job and its hard to find one) and its a very ugly situation for everyone.

I will not be surprised if another economic crash indeed happen, just look at the derivatives and the housing market. At some point, it will implode and leave everyone hanging, watching in awe as they see their investments consumed by the fire of greed and carelessness in investing. It might not happen within the next year, but it will surely happen within a decade since the markets are already over-leveraged and over-saturated with ETFs, ETNs and other bizarre derivatives.

The thought that something is 'too big to crash' isn't actually applicable in the entire world markets, and a great testament to that is the bankruptcy of the Lehman Brothers in 2008. Before this crash goes to materialize, I'm sure that my money is in crypto and gold, just to save my assets from depreciating in value.

There's no guarantee that Bitcoin will be unaffected or will benefit from a global financial crisis. Bitcoin is still too volatile to be considered a safe haven, so just because it's not tied to traditional markets it doesn't mean that it is safe. There might be even some mechanisms that can make it drop during a crisis, so no one should bet on Bitcoin with all their savings.

I think that is the economy will crash it will crash not because of political or economical reasons but it will be because of natural disasters or war because both will be unpredictable and I believe that the unpredictable is the one that we should be careful about. Also it we should not worry about economic crash that is not happening what should we worry about is the inflation rate of each countries, as we speak there are countries that have a high inflation rate just this year alone specially with the third world countries and it is the ones that are affecting the economy because ordinary people will have a hard time managing their daily lives.

We can't really tell that. But I guess it would really happen since all supplies for resources in world are getting smaller and smaller. But there would be still  a solution for that.

I think it is impossible to predict for future. although due to unstability of crypto currency lot of people feeling afraid. But unstability is a part of market.

2008 was a worldwide crash and it was very real. Everything is cyclical and what made 2008 happen has not been corrected, we got out of there basically due massive quantitative easing. So we are just kicking the can down the road really. It's going to the ugly when 2008 part 2 happens, im pretty scared to have money in the bank, I think within the next 5 years something will happen.

Italy is out of hand and challenging the European Union, check the news. Some dude literally used his shoe to crush the papers of the EU budgets for Italy. Crisis is coming and Italy is no Greece. If Italy goes Greece then Spain and Portugal will follow and the EU will  have a massive crisis which will have an impact on the rest of the world.

Any idea of safety is an illusion. It's best to be prepared for the worst by not placing all your eggs in one basket and diversifying your assets. This is the one viable investment strategy and it always has been. Anything else is basically gambling. To feel you can be dependent on any one thing or person is foolish.

The only person you can blame for being affected by an "economic crash" is yourself. Study trends, follow the markets, read everything and connect the dots! If you're helping to make the good life more accessible in any step of the supply chain, (by using the latest technology and the internet now) you'll never have to worry about finances. Freedom is digitized.

If a group of rich people will care about triggering a crisis, it will happen. Such situations have already happened in the past. Sooner or later, the next crisis will surely come and it can not be avoided.

Hmm, I studied the case but it doesnt seems to be changing many things, for example, there is no way people will choose BTC to invest their money into because thats gonna be the highest risk. The crypto will go down because of this reversal of investment and can put set back on it. It will take huge time to recover from this crisis situation and thus we will start with the crypto from very much bottom of it. Dont forget that many institutions are also investing in the BTC today and thus in the crisis time they will be the first one to get away with it. I guess people will choose more or less solid assets as safeguard.

Or more interesting to hear with words: The economic downturn in 2019,
I also say and can be predicted from social media,
about the destruction of the economy this year almost all countries experienced the same thing. It can also affect crypto and investment, hopefully for the future of the economy in 2019 this is better.

I think the crisis has commenced as stock market is going down day by day.  We should be able to recover maybe in 2 years time.  This bearish market is seriously affecting cryptocurrencies market and even forex.  Trading is becoming less profitable for quite some time now and many people getting discouraging. Our leaders especially the political one should reduce the cost of governments and reinvest the proceed to the economic in other to revive it.

There was a lot of crashes and crisis from 1972 even
My personal opinion is that last one didn't finish even
last crash was done to create more debt and virtual money
More and more debt more and more globalization and more  and more problems
Biggest i see are climatic changes
There are estimates that will be tornado nr 5 6 300km/hour wind can destroy all areas
That so strong win can appear for example in Persian Gulf
places like Dubai is not ready for that
Now imagine Dubai to become new Atlantyda

With the next global crisis, there will be more chances that the heads of countries will pay attention to cryptocurrency.

The economic crisis can be in any year. Now the situation in the world is very unstable, and raw materials, products,
 even water is becoming a bigger problem. I do not think that investing in cryptocurrency will be a protective measure against the crisis. This should be done, however moderately. Each country has its own values. Buying a property is a good means of protection from the crisis. In my country with fertile soil it is also land. Most likely, you need to partially invest funds in various investment projects, the main thing is not to transfer your money to banks, they will quickly lose their value during the crisis.

yes it could be because with the government willing to adopt digital currencies such as bitcoin, future economic accidents can be overcome properly if countries want to pay attention and can receive crypto

Heh heh, you're probably right about that, too.

Theymos just started a thread that's pretty much like this one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5056637.0;topicseen).  I don't watch the news--are the pundits predicting a global economic crash or something?  Is there some really bad news coming out or rumors floating around about some impending disaster?  As I said in Theymos's thread, the stock market has taken somewhat of a beating in the past week, but I'd been waiting for that to happen for a while now.  It's not unexpected and not unhealthy for the market, but it also doesn't mean the economy is tanking.

What?  The Dow is still at 25,000 as I write this, and less than 10 years ago when we had our last financial meltdown it dropped to around 6000 if I'm not mistaken.  What's happening now is just a correction IMO and not anything more than that--and I also don't think it's going to take 2 years to recover from the relatively small drop in prices that we've seen.  Don't know what orifice you pulled that number out of.

I agree with all of that wholeheartedly.  Diversity is the investor's best friend.

Lets take a look at the stock market from all over the world. This is a period of 52 weeks (1 year) as you can see almost all market exchanged went down some points. Except for a few e.g Russia. What russia has bin doing the last decade is buying 200 tonnes of gold every year. I'm not a economic guru, but I can safely say that this is not okay.

Economic crisis always happen and maybe happen in 2019. The sign is already happen. In many country, commodities price already rising and most market in red. Hopely crisis not happen because many peoples will suffering

If that happens our debt has more than doubled in one year from where it was back then. When you are in that much debt if you owe money to someone or some entity and when they want to collect, what do you do when you are already underwater? You implode. Listen folks, this doesn't take a rocket scientist. This country is going to see a collapse like they haven't seen since the Great Depression. If you look at the cost of living with the salaries that people are not making to equate to it, unemployment is higher than our government is saying.

The next 20 years will be an era in which morality accelerates and the social environment deteriorates drastically.
For any country in the world, spiritual crises such as lack of faith and credit collapse are more serious and far-reaching crises than economic and political fields.

In fact, this is becoming a reality. There will be a global real estate crisis in 2019, but it should be acceptable, which is good news for cryptocurrency.

"Successful investor" you say, just in which industry? because as far as I know crypto is a whole different ball game and does not dwell on past experience,it's unpredictable! And just so you know such wild guesses are not the first and will not be the last either, we have seen and heard it all  :-\

If ever we experience an economic meltdown, why risk investing in cryptos which are labeled highly volatile when people will be panicking to sell off stable assets...

As OP said, there are some indicators, like the housing market. The housing market was booming before 08 crash, the same thing is happening right now in many countries. That might be something to keep your eye on. Though every crash has their own face.

Lol. I am sure there is no one as tired as I am. What is the essence of the whole prediction when no one can actually tell what they future holds exactly. Moreover, this is not the first time; economic expert will be calling some bullshit predictions that never happen.

Someone just wakes up in the morning, assume something in their head, and then dream about it next day and come to the global space to say nonsense. For a very long time, there has always been this doomsday announcement, year in year out, and here we are. Moreover, global economic crisis? I laugh out hard.

In the real estate, He lives in the Netherlands but got houses in China, New York and Netherlands ofc. I know this guy this is not some online guru.

maybe there is some truth about the vitalik buterin (inventor of ethereum) on his twitter, there will be an economic crisis between now and 2021

Predictions like this has nothing to be worried about.  Economic fall is part of the system and happens every year in different country but not much as to be called a worldwide economic crash. This situation you are talking about, is highly unlikely.

Though he is a successful investor, that doesn't mean all his prediction will come true. But the market crash might be a possibility, and if your believe the crypto will emerge and it is a plausibility too, you might try investing in it too, but there might be risk too. And the rest is upon your choice.

I dont believe it. I believe theres something good to be happen before 2020 I believe bullish will come again. This will be the time to buy more btc or if that will happen surely there will be good to be happen.

No one knows what will happen and the effect of it in cryptocurrency so it's all about your decision out of your own self analyzation. An economic crash is eventually coming- that's how market cycles work.

Why will we be happy over here in the cryptoworld about global economic crash? is there any assurance that if there is economic crash that it will favour the cryptocurrency market? Leave speculation and prediction and invest when ever you feel like investing.

It might be my friend, IF again IF such crash would happen somewhere in the upcoming years, we should be careful with the Cryptomarket. As we know gold does really well in a crash because people look for safer investments than cash in the bank or cash itself. Now there are two scenarios that I have thought of BTC will go up a lot same as gold (people see it as a safe investment) or go down like all stocks/housing. Meaning there is a opportunity to buy BTC for cheap or make bank if BTC go to the moon. Now I'm not predicting that there will be a crash in 2019 but I'm almost certain it will happen the upcoming 5 years or so.

;D Your dad's friend indeed. No one knows what will be happening in the next 1 second, let alone in the next 1.5 years, no matter how successful they are as an investor, and I wonder why people always love coming up with some crazy predictions, probably to say, I told you so, if it peradventure happens or simply say, some factors were put in place, that made it not to happen, right?

However things turn out, it is always a good thing to diversify so as to spread risks even if you are not anticipating a global crash which is something I do not believe will happen anyway.

Sorry, I commented, selling certain assets does not mean not buying other assets, and maybe you don't know, just like my father sold a land and bought a few houses. Here as an investor we must be able to choose the news and predict what investment is good for the next few years
Will the economy crash? I think each country has foreign exchange reserves to keep it from happening or not fatal, and not all countries accept cryptocurrency. The economic cause of a country being destroyed is corruption and failure to maintain the country's foreign exchange reserves

According to the charts, every 6-9 years we have some sort of recession/crisis. Right now we are about to exceed this period. It could be actually beneficial for the crypto community - during the time of crisis, investors switch from stocks to "safe havens", like precious metals. And there is a high chance, the same fate can be shared with cryptocurrencies. Especially BTC, as many call it "digital gold"

As if it is the first crisis the world economy has faced. I wouldn't say the crash is unlikely, but the main point is how we manage through it - it will eventually end, as no crash is forever.
With all its negative part, this is still a time of opportunity. We are involved in Crypto, which is detached from the global economy to a certain degree - thus, we have the best position to survive crisis, if any actually occurs.

You’re completely right, I however think the government do not really care, and if i look at some facts from Europe (where i’m from) We can see that thou house market went up, Italy is not doing so well as before, Greece is well you know Greece. Germany is making lots of money wich they diversify accross europe and are spending more than what they have. Everyone is buying buying buying. I still believe we have some economic/natrual difficulties.

May be possible as their is a cycle which is said to rotate in every 8 years to 10 years. So we can have some slack period but need not to worry as world have seen before also the economic downturn during 2008 crisis and just be well prepared so that you are up for the challenge if it happens.

Best is to not put everying in one basket like the other people said, my prediction if something like a economic meltdown happens, BTC will go down mostlikely people are panicing and what as much as gold and fiat money. And it will be more expensive to run the blockchain. Maby a great opportunity to buy bitcoins.

If it hapens in the future I will sell the gold I have bought and buy btc when they are cheap.

I may be wrong and btc go to the moon, but my personal belief is that people see btc as a risky investment during a crash and would need time to recover from it.

I myself have put around 4k$ intto the stockmarket betting it would go down, im up 500$ profit as im writing this down.

There will always be news circulating about the economy unstability that might happen in the future and this isn't the first time for it. It has happened over the years. Sites like ZeroHedge publish daily news about how the economy will crash that's just news propaganda. There will always be issues more or less in the economy but nothing so severe we can't recover from. You'll see in time the results first hand.

I don’t really get my source from news articels, I do my own research and compare them to the 2008 crash and to me there are some similarities.

Considering a high volume of the niche industry i believe that is something that has to come, and economic crash is real and it could happen any time soon. I wonder how will this potential economic crash influence the crypto world. How expensive will be the electric bill for mining for example?

Resources are getting more scarce everyday it would get more expensive in the future to run the blockchain no doubt, but then the bitcoin will get more value aswell. More and more people are using sun panels to run the BC to reduce the cost of running it. Also there will be more advanced technology like fusion power and algae energy so that would be less of a problem, but resource like sand will get super expensive. If I had to choose whos country will the least hit from the crash if it happens; russia and japan. Japan has a lot of resource in the ocean to create lcd for phones and computer monitors ( forgot what resource its called )

WaTer will be a big deal in the future.

Economic crash is a norm, but your submission is not base on any statistical data, no need to panic, but better to play safe as an investor, I ensure I spread my investment  portfolio beyond cryptocurrency, You must realise that during recession some sector are always still bouyant and  lively, Real esatate/property development is a sector to watch out for.

I agree, but isnt the real estate/property sector one of the biggest? Properties rise but paychecks does not, what happens if you’re not able to pay the mortgage because the place where you work went bankrupt? Now multiply that with a nation.

Theres a banker I  know personally (has nothing to do with prediction just to make it clear) she told me that it went very great at the bank she works (ING dutch bank) lots of mortgages where handled out. This was 7 months ago...

More mortgages = more chance to not able to pay it off due loss of work or some other reason.

To me its a ticking time bomb with no timer on it, its just sits and wait till shit hits the fan. The onnly thing we as investors can do is have some kind of backup plan ready for this kind of doomsday.

May happen in 2019, it may happen in 5 years.

The economic fall is and should be relative/ comparison so as to really ascertain the level of damage it might cause. The cryptocurrency markets have gone down severally but this season's bouncing back is a major and historical one all and sundry will be waiting for.

They will do everything to spread news like this. Economic crisis can happen, but who knows when it will happen? This is just a matter of time. I’m confident that investors are more educated now after reading so many predictions like this.

We should still prepare for the possibilities of an economic crisis, we should set limits in our investment and know how to take profit. It is still good to have some kind of limitations and strategies, let’s win more in our investments.

You know, I am not one of those Doomsday Preppers that are stocking up on food to prepare for a global financial collapse, but I am also open to the idea that the financial system is being supported by massive amounts of debt and in most cases also highly inflated stock markets and at one stage this will backfire on governments.

The taxpayers had to fork out Billions to save the Banking industry and nobody seemed to learn anything from that, so it is just logical that a bigger problem is brewing somewhere in the world and this will cause a tsunami wave of trouble in the future.  >:(

Well, your debts will more than double if you do not take control of your own funds in this case. I remember it was the financial crisis that happened in the past that led to the development of blockchain technology as well as bitcoin and that typically shows that there is an option for everyone to store value without being controlled by the government or being affected by any economic crash that ends up happening.

I feel we are beginning to see some of it glaringly happening now and that would really be crazy as a lot of countries will really find it hard to get out from. Good thing we are here now.

So does anybody care? The price of coins is what they care about only. Its the same in stock market and commodity markets. If you are panicing then this is the test that the traders are going through. You are no alone in this.

The question lies in the fundmentals of crypto. If you are someone who is holding crypto and thinking what to do with it then your basics or fundamentals of crypto is weak. You should go through Satoshi's whitepaper and see how the vision was made. Still if you dont believe in crypto then its your choice to hodl or sell.

But remember that back 4-5 years, bitcoin price was low compared to the 1000$ price and it remained low for these years till it mooned. Now you can take your chances as you wish.

   The above topic is a bit negative Speculation for 2019, Market is Volatile, it is unpredictable, price value movement is dependent on the volume of investment out in by the consumer's investors on the specific coin as posted in the market. Crypto currency market is not free from possible market crash as speculative for 2019, yet, if and when we never know on what to become on the market.

I do not believe that this economic collapse is so early, it can take much longer, there are some very interesting projects that give you some kind of income like DECRED, where I'm following your project from the beginning, I believe there are ways to pass by an economic collapse!

There are many same prediction like that. I ' not sure that it will come true or not. For example , there are many prediction that the world will go to an end , But We're still living ::). Therefore, I don't care much about that : even they come true or not, the number of people investing on bitcoin significantly increase

So lets get this straight, you think the economy will crash in 2019 and you assume it will be because of some sort of natural disaster, and your reasoning is because natural disasters can't be "foreseen" ?

So, if they are unpredictable and can't be foreseen beforehand, how do you think there will be one in 2019 that has a global consequence ?

You are basically telling people something is can't be known beforehand and that is why you know it will happen, that makes no sense at all and honestly takes out all your credit and makes all of what you said seriously ill judged.

I think the crash already happened with american stocks and all crypto world. 2019 will be much better year than every other year, the american 2020 voting will probably start soon and president candidates will start to go around asking for votes and I think that would create another "lets wait and see" in the world which will make the market not collapse for another while.

Yes, the market does have fluctuations and there will always be changes every time. Market crypto can never be predicted because changes can occur at any time. We only need to follow the flow and try to continue to increase transactions with crypto, because with that in mind the crypto market will get positive sentiment and it will be very good for crypto's future, especially in 2019.

https://ibb.co/kb3V0q

"Everything is fine, there is nothing to worry about"

Looking at the discussion, I think we should define what the collapse actually is. Market goes up and down, so there is no wonder it's going to change (and it's the high time actually, given the trend). This is the whole point of it. Personally, I don't believe in such long term predictions though - we've been told for months that a downward trend is coming.
Another thing is that crypto doesn't have to follow. I agree with those who decide to hold onto the investments until the the next bull market.

By the time all stocks go up again, we the taxpayers paid for it, is my upmost worries. Because our government just bails out the banks with our hard earned money.

In deed it is good to have alternative energy sources but for example the solar panels i don't agree with them because making them distrois the nature. Most of the mineral resources used in the hi tec h world are found in Africa and you can see how things evolve there. And regarding the sweet water in dees, it will be horrible at some point, i have the felling that this generation likes to comfortable, no effort in living and preserving for the future.

For now solar panels are bad for nature I agree, but lets hope that in the future there will be cleaner methods of making them. About the water. Big company's like Nestle wants to make it a commodity...

Solar panels destroy nature?  Where are you guys from?

Solar panels just get energy from the sun, I don't think the energy of the sun will eventually lose because of these solar panels. Solar power is actually the real best thing if you want no noise compare to the windturbines which also get power from the breezes. These doesn't destroy nature.

The process of making them.

It will probably be happening because there are many people saying the same as it. It definitely based on the situation and indication where are happening now. It was actually began since several months ago, since Trade War between U.S and Chine. It has much impacts to the world economic stability. There are many polemics and problems raise caused of this Trade War. This prediction of economic crash will reach the peak in 2019 probably.

I disagree with that. The economics has going down the past year no doubt, just look at the charts they don't lie. And even here in the Netherlands over 3+ hospitals when bankruptcy. HOSPITALS why? Because of greed hospitals are owned by private entities and now are suffering the damage. Its just a matter of time. And I would not be surprised if the government starts blaming us AGAIN and WE THE PEOPLE have to pay the damage.
It happens every time again and again.

an economic crash is possible , but if the famous economists cannot predict with a certainty, due to the ever changing conditions
think your "guru" is not going to either
there are several interesting theories  about economic crashes that proved to be working, one of them is Kondratieff waves or cycles
for those who want to read about Kondratieff cycles here is the brief : https://www.investopedia.com/terms/k/kondratieff-wave.asp

I think there will not only be a potentially devastating economic crash, compared to which the 2008 one will pale
but there is a huge probability of a war, it is in the air, just listen to the rhetoric and the accusations

No one knows when, but to me it seems its happening if not already is happening. I hope we don't end up in war if a crisis occurs.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5057898.0

This is really a heavy downturn. Although it does not affect the food or break many rules, it really affects many investors. I have had quite a bit of success in investing in Bitcoin from January to March but at the moment, the market has taken away all of the profits I have. I am really worried about the future of the Crypto market.

Anyone that is putting attention to the markets and makes an effort to stay informed knows the markets are in trouble and we will eventually face a new economic crisis that will be way bigger than the last one since the reasons that caused the previous crisis were not eliminated and if anything are an even greater risk right now, however no one can predict accurately when that is going to happen, the crisis could start today or it could take a few decades.

But that is irrelevant what you need to do is to try to be ready in case that happens and having some bitcoin in your wallet is not a bad first step, but if things get as bad as some are predicting then it could be a good idea to have some basic supplies in store as well.

Then they will be hurt so bad.
I will stay with bitcoin no matter what. I am seeing this world changing the way transactions will be and bitcoin is part of that.

I am more afraid of the what if there will be no more internet which is impossible. It is just starting and so is the crypto world. We should always remind ourselves about that.

Storing some funds before this year end is the best thing to do if the economical crash will happen next year, preparation is the good decision and to avoid your sudden loss of funds, we must know how and when will be the next bearish and bullish state in our economic, Be cautious of the Global market.

Current global economic condition indicate that economic crisis will happen and maybe in 2019. With interest rate always increase, it will increasing bad debt. I think if that happen, cryptocurrency can be new investment alternative and hopely increasing in 2019

Don’t believe on them. This is just Fud. Same thing like people used to say world will end in 2000, 2010 etc.  You can say anything about future as no one can prove it wrong.

if economic crash happen then cryptocurrencies will definitely have great future and more billions of dollars come into market inflow many new investors realise the true potential of less inflation cryptocurrencies

Laughing out loud at this. Seriously, nobody can predict what is going to happen in the future not unless they have a crystal ball that can forsee what is beyond today.

The foolish predictions are laughable. There is no reason for a economic crash in 2019 but USA is going through a rough patch in the stock sector.

This kind of speculation is always being made by many experts and till now no situation is suggesting such kind of crash. It is advised not to listen to such absurd predictions.

Economic crash in 2019 is a prediction among the economists and experts but nothing seems to happen this far that projects that idea. It is also to make sure that people do not invest their money into cryptocurrecncies with the fear that their money will be gone. But he real reason is the FIAT money sector is too afraid of the fact that banks and investment corporation wont get much from it. Lets see what actually is written for us.

How can you be so sure that there will be a crash? Don't you think the government will take proper initiatives to prevent that? A lot of people said that crypto would be dead but still it's going pretty great.

If you are living in Yemen, Zimbabwe, Venezuela or other similarly unstable country, it's better to buy USD, EUR or BTC with all your local money and if crash happens you'll be more or less okay. But if a global economic crash happens, no one will be okay whatever they do to prevent the bad consequences. The thing is that if purchasing capacity of fiat money falls significantly then even if Bitcoin rises in price you can still buy less goods/services with the money than before, and no one needs that. Fortunately, like some posters above pointed out, we've been hearing similar news for almost 10 years already, so hopefully nothing bad will happen this time too.

I do not think everything is good. I think this recession will last and we are the ones who are most affected. The stock market has proven to us that. Technology companies are having a big problem and we are pretty much affected. I just hope our crypto market will remain stable.

This is the prediction of 2019 the economic crash.But l still believe that there are some bounties that will give us payment to provide our daily needs.lts too hard to expect but there's a hope in every positive expectations to have a big miracle and mercy from God.

First of all, I do not believe that an economical crash is imminent in 2019. I think that the countries with powerful armed forces will compete with each other in order to protect their own markets by imposing import taxes on certain goods and raw materials. Such a policy probably can lead to insignificant negative economical results on a global scale, but this will not affect all countries.



People says that Bitcoin can be a "safe haven" for money in these times. I tend to agree with this.

Haha, haha, obviously your son’s father-in-law is indeed very powerful, crossing the obstacles between the stars. I am also tired of the prophecy in the air. But 2019 is indeed very dangerous.

The cyclicality of the economy is inevitable, but it is important to know that the rich are often closely related to politics and they will consider controlling the exchange rate and financial markets. Obviously no one can predict the financial crisis on time.

First of all, why are we still surprised about this? I mean the ones that crashed the market before is still handling our markets now! They're even teaching at schools and imbiding their self righteous greed unto younger people making the market even worst. I just hope that people see sense and just remove them

I think we are in an economic crash even today. I think we are in a constant economic crash where we experience the tail end of an economic crisis and the beginning of the next crisis all in the same time. I really think that we should really double check our economic theories on how things are done.

Well we are actually expecting a recession in the global economy in the time to come. That might be the next year but mentioning a particular month might not be wise thing to do. Being a development economist you have to deal with such situation and the causes of the situation.

This time, there could be a high involvement in the political instability and wars that have destroyed huge assets than could actually be produced in this much time. In such cases, investments in gold and silver are preferred for they are less exposed to inflation.

I think no one can destroy the economy unless and until there is some disaster in the world. It can be another world war or massive natural disaster like earth quake which may cause major panic.

There is a crash in stock markets right now. 2018 has not been a great economic year for anything, not stocks, not countries, not gold, not bitcoin.

Nothing truly increased like it used to and there has been a setback in the economy for the whole year. Bitcoin is not the only thing that really got hurt by this and probably billions even trillions of dollar was lost in value over the crash. Considering countries started an economic war as well with china selling american bonds for dead cheap to other countries I think all of this caused by the instability of what is going to happen in the future.

People are not certain about how the things are going and this caused investors to be afraid of what to invest and how to invest which also dropped the volume of investments as well.

I think that we have already spent a very hard time for last few months therefore I do  not think about any crises in future, I think that we can expect that 2019 will be a very good year for bitcoin, and I hope that bitcoin will surely recover all our lost that we have already make in 2018.

It's true, but at the same time we are part of the let's say "classic" economy, so is our money. So no wonder that it's spent on bailing out the institutions that can bring profit (and which have more to say than others, of course!!), and in a way restart the circle. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do - what I'm trying to say is that from some point of view, it makes sense. One of the reasons we pay taxes is that we pay the money to have someone to control the market and even it out when necessary (ideally, doing so in a very reasonable way not only profit oriented).
On the other hand, people still trust fiat more than crypto, while all the fiat economy is in a way one big bubble, too. It's not based on any resources like it was historically, it's based on some agreements (like the one about all oil from Saudi being sold in dollars no other currency). So every action taken is just shuffling and gambling, instead of (like may prefer to imagine) exchanging goods for gold. There is nothing like "real" money and crypto market - they are equal just the rules are more obvious on the fiat market.
The question I think should be - do we feel OK paying huge taxes for the idea of stability or central control, or not.

At that point if the crisis is as big as some people imagine it will be irrelevant if billions of dollars or even trillions of dollars come to the market, because at that point fiat currencies will be crashing so hard that people are going to try to find a currency any currency that is not crashing and since bitcoin is going to be one of them we could basically ask for anything we wanted for our bitcoin and people will have to pay it if they do not want to lose everything.

It is weird that people do not take precautions in the case something like that happens but most people do not really care about the future and prefer to deal with problems until those problems present themselves, which is the wrong way to approach something as important as your financial well being.

This is even happening in third world countries too. Governments are making good moves, and some are even trying for amending their rules and laws that will help economy to digest this fear of bitcoin. Rather economy must adjust bitcoin as integral part. So, we are quite hopeful for the best usage and implementation of bitcoin in future in all over the world. Let’s wait and watch.

I agree with you. These news about economic crashes in the future are something misleading and must have been created to bring instability to the current situation, only if people would believe and get influence by this. How can they make bold prediction without any supportive facts.

I don't believe that will happen, if the economic crash does occur I think the central bank has a way to solve the problem. to avoid this, maybe I will move my savings into gold and bitcoin, because if economic problems occur, inflation will be high

Dude don’t just worry about it. Since 2009, bitcoin is suffering from such high attacks and it had been in severe recession. These powers had tried their best to demolish bitcoin but their all tries had not fruits. Bitcoin is still making good opportunities for people so that they can have a good life. But those problems and such anomalies are still in pipelines but we are quite hopeful from bitcoin.

The Crypto market is not for the faint of heart when the price rises dramatically. 2018 becomes quite excited for traders as the market grows. Making bold predictions in such a rapidly evolving market is a particularly complex task. However, there are several major themes that can be evaluated in the coming months.
Here are five macro trends that investors and traders should watch over the next 12 months.
1. Trading volume is gradually moving toward the decentralized trading platform (DEX).
2.dpp: There will be new steps
3. Bitcoin ETF attracts investment institutions
4. The pricing model introduces some of the standards in the market
5. Enhance the acceptance of the Security Token

As I see "institutional investors", heartburn begins immediately.

Bakkt is better than without Bakkt. Why? Because my grandfather was really driven under a bench and showed who was the boss. Growth drivers, apart from the inflationary essence of the cue ball, are not visible now. The Chinese socket is sooooo long, there is still much to move. Advertising cut, ICO crap, courses crushed krupnyaki. A year was exchanged, if in November-December there will be no moving buildings, then we dry the oars until the halving 2020. There is a hope that Bitmain pampanet to get an IPO beautiful with good profits (or is it too late for that year to be watched? Who is immersed in the topic correct).

It seems that water starts to seep from there, from here to the hold, but so far there is no breakthrough. So let investors come to Bakkt with wallets, let them be bought with chops. This is better than it is now incomprehensible how. Many are frightened away by the very essence of the purchase, often sadly criminal ending. So in my opinion some legal movement is better than calm on all fronts.

If they want to drive a crypt into a stall, they will do it without Bakkt. If requested, this issue will be resolved in a couple of years. Do not look for deep conspiracy theories, as usual about money. First of all, the founders of Bakkt will earn on this)))

Real estate business is not affect to cryptocurrency in my opinion, but vitalik buterin say around now and 2021 there will be financial crisis maybe it right

Well, even though you stated those images doesn't mean the economy will crush this 2019. This is just a prediction that a lot of things might happen in the future. People won't be prevented from investing and that the money will flow no matter what happen.

As we all know this is business if we talking about crushing this is not good to hear, we knew that if the business like this so big there are big investors behind so you think that its ok for them that the crushing will happen, think of it they will protect it untill the last drop of their cards...

I don't really think that there's an economic crash in 2019. I really never felt it even though we have a constant crash in the crypto market. Whatever people will say about the economics status this year, that will doesn't affect me from holding on my cryptos.

If this is true then there is an opportunity for cryptocurrency, and Bitcoin may take off again next year. The cyclicality of the economy has created the bitcoin economy.

Economic depression, I guess, that's the right term. But economic crash? I don't think so. As long as this world exists, human economy will never crash, since that is the heart of every nation. When you say economic crash, it means no more financial institutions, no more water and electrical services and demand will outpace the supply vastly. So that must be the end of the world. And I think it's absurd to predict when the economy will crash. It's like predicting when the universe will explode. Economies, physical and virtual such as bitcoin, may experience regress because of factors like hyperinflation, but it will never crash while the earth remains.

Why you said economic crash , i think you mean is economic crisis but that is not continuously because there are more option that we need to understand in just flow the waves of the economic . In cryptocurrency there are chance to boom in next year because they are know that somebody trust this in many aspect that we need in everyday work. Lets see what happen in 2019.

This is just a simple speculation if you think about the world economy then it's far to happen that it will crash by next year. Spreading this speculation will create a FUD to those people that has less knowledge about the world economy. Whatever your thinking this is just on your imagination. Nothing to worry.

I think the economic situation is good in our country but fro crypto i am not sure that some people are saying that bitcoin is die soon i have to advise them that bitcoin can never be eliminated from the world and future is full of crypto if we give time we can become rich in the future.

Stocks going up..... slowly. I'm investing most of my worth into BTC, ETH, LTC. Also have some silver that I won't sell yet.

Just look at the previous crisis, the central banks did nothing more but to throw trillions of dollars to the problem and hope that fixed things and luckily for them things calmed down in the markets, but now the countries that did that are facing huge debts and now their citizens need to pay that debt when the ones that caused all the problem were the banks.

So when the next crisis happens the central banks will be unable to do the same thing and if they do then they will make the crisis even worse since now the effects of the crisis are not only going to be felt in wall street but in main street as well and it is possible many countries will have to go through a period of huge inflation to pay their debts.

the market bounced at support. looks like all that bearish sentiment a week ago was a good indicator that the bottom was close.

i'm very skeptical that a major stock or real estate crash is coming yet. these things happen when the market least expects it---recently, everyone (including all manner of retail traders and armchair analysts) has been expecting it. if you look at the volatility of the crash in 2008, there is no comparison to last month's correction.

I don't think there is any correlation between stocks and Bitcoin yet, negative or positive. But eventually I expect a negative correlation, like Gold. I think Bitcoin's bull run will go off over the next couple of years completely individually from the stock market crash that will likely occur over the same time period.

It is not about the whales that are responsible for the down crypto market up to certain extent. This is about the world economy that is going to face a recession in the near future and that has noting to do with the activities of only one guy or government. All the macro economic indicators are not showing good signs and we still have the situation very down in countries like US where the employment has gone down though, still the purchasing power of people and dollar in the international market is very volatile and to make self sustaining decisions, Trump is having these tariff wars with countries to have a secure position in the coming recession.

The economic catastrophe is already happening (the national currency is falling against USD in Venezuela, Turkey, Indonesia), mass emigration of people from countries with a low standard of living and active hostilities (Syria, Ukraine), lack and reduction of jobs (North Africa , middle and central Asia). As long as financial difficulties do not touch the inhabitants of Europe and the United States then this will not be considered an economic disaster.

Right, I guess we are beginning to see the signs and even in my own country, this is something that has been a norm as there has been a huge inflation and pretty down economy for a while now.

This was the reason why I got to even rely more on bitcoin and it has really worked out pretty fine for me I must say. Personally, I have lost trust in fiat, in the government and in the banking system and all their economic policies that have ruined everything and it is a good thing there is an alternative, which is what matters most to me.

I start to believe that the financial crash of the world it is similar with the end of the world. Everybody talks about it but nobody can actually say for sure when and how will happen. Everything is manipulation in our days.

in my opinion an economic crisis everyone to whom predicts not laziness. everything can do and happens. only if to listen to all of them, then it is possible to go crazy absolutely.

For one thing, why wouldn't an economic crash happen again? I mean the people who have direct involvement in the mortgage market crash are still on the losr and are freely handlin finances and even holdin official office in the white house even financial advisors. Worst, these same people are teaching economics in a collegiate level.

The mother of all bubbles is upon us. How high can they pump it on printed money.......

Analysts predict 2019 world economic difficulties will be evenly distributed, due to the effects of the Chinese and American trade wars. But I think the crypto market is not very influential, because crypto prices do not depend on the global economy but depend on the sale and purchase agreement of crypto holders.

Predictions, predictions everywhere. Predicting things doesn't mean it will happen in the future. Also, an economic crash is just far away from happening. But IF that really happens. I would just invest in stock who crashed and has potential to grow and a portion in Bitcoin.

The current economic society will inevitably have a certain crisis!
It is only the governments of all countries that have strengthened their economic regulation and control capabilities. Unless there are some natural disasters, it will be difficult for a superpower to have a large-scale economic crisis!

The problem is that you base your predictions on poor assumptions ("my banker friend said","father of a friend, who is a successful investor says"). Give us some data. Netherlands is simply too small to have any impact...

It's just indeed an immature market thus speculations and this isn't enough to treat this as a basis.
Though I'm not exactly sure what OP trying to point if what economy he's trying say, because if it's the crypto market we are definitely don't have exact idea, we're more likely following the waves.

This is only a prediction that might occur or not, if indeed there is a government of a country, of course, have thought about how to deal with it. My experience is that the news about the destruction of the Economy, which emerged near the time of the election of a new government, I think this is a political war between the camps of a prospective government. Stay calm and not worry.

I think 2019 is a prosperous year for bitcoin and the world economy. As the chart shows that bitcoin is gradually growing in terms of exchange rates so investing now is a good bet for investors if you want to build for the future then do it now. My guess about bitcoin will be okay if this growth momentum develops and the world economy is more stable

Hahaha yes, absolutely, how can we believe upon the thing said by someone’s father or friend. I mean why we care about it. Talk with some facts and figures and increase the credibility.

We need to understand at predicting things doesn’t mean you would have good numbers ahead. The reality still be the reality. You can’t change it. Rather leave it and start practicing.

Well no one will agree on such assumptions that are bases on such assumptions. Only real; data helps a lot and such assumptions based on real data go in the right direction regardless of how small or large a country is.

Yes, this makes me feel that I am already starting. This is a long process of accumulation, and when a certain peak is reached, it is immediately shattered. Look at the world's housing prices and the stock market. You will find that this has already begun, but politicians are hiding this issue.

I don't actually believe in prediction even it came from a crypto expert. What i believe is that cryptocurrencies are very unpredictable as its market value is based on the supply and demand of people. I don't think anyone can ever predict someone's mind whether he/she would like to invest in crypto tomorrow or not.

No one know what will happen in the future so all the so called coming economic crash on 2019 and so on are just predictions like te possible overheating of an economy or the trade war between US and China. The impact of economic crash on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not yet sure but I think it will depend on when the downtrend happen and how close cryptocurrency is to ubiversal utilization.

Interesting graphic on housing bubble in netherlands.

My belief is that stocks are on their way down and there will be not correction, if that continues, i am going to invest in gold,silver or other commodities.
Crypto is interesting area , because at the moment we are aeeing downtrend even with stocks falling.

It was already happened because in the some countries they were confirm that their economy situations nearly to crash but indeed it was not happened for globally which mean some countries still health and stable but i think predictions not always be bad even it were made to warn us to more prepare when facing crisis

Hopefully, economic condition affects the market. The crash of the economy will always inflict in the market. I thought the year of 2018 is a good luck for me but it seems like I am not luck. There are times that I want to stop to look at the chart. Eventhough, I pretend that myself to be fine in this situation, I cannot think how I lose a lot in market.

The predictions that we see are mostly done by either shills promoting their altcoins or analysts providing technical insight. If you are into TA you can yourself predict much of the market movements once it starts.

People dont make predictions before the movement starts but only after it starts. Same with every stable period - they will say its either going up or going down - nobody can deny this. Thats how these predictions work. In fact most of them are just to keep the public happy and not provide too much speculation.

If i have to foresee it, that can be possible only in cryptoworld if and only if bitcoin continues to fall until next year. We already saw how bitcoin falls down this month and falls down beyond everyone's expectations.

Told you guys, that this was a big possibility that could happen, but hey I was called a goof

Yes, the recession is supposed to start end of 2019 into 2020. I'm crossing my fingers it's not too bad, but who knows anymore. The last recession was brutal (I just graduated w/ a degree in econ and intended to go into finance).

The FAANG stock index falls down, followed by the entire stock market. Perhaps the crisis will come earlier than 1,5 years. The cryptocurrency market at the moment repeats the movement of the stock market. I myself think how to diversify risks.

US Stock market is likely to continue higher in 2019.
The potential problem in the market right now is surrounding cooperate debt, and as for when the market would react to it, you just have to look out and place your trailing stop properly. I'd personally look out in late 2020, but with Trump sitting around, let's see what drama would end up in the headlines.

It would be good to hear from predictions but honestly there is no better than really trying to look at how the market is really been doing to this present. The predictions that bitcoin will hit  30K$ was very good. It was really something and everybody was very happy to hear but as time goes by the predictions came to be the opposite. It was worst and not expected. So I think who ever it is trying to make predictions and whoever it is that is considered a successful investor, I would say I'm sorry but I don't buy predictions. I'd rather see everything in its progress than dream about nothing.

I think that some global event will occur in 2019, which will be revolutionary. The collapse of the world economy is a relative concept, for whom the collapse will be growth and for someone a fall. Obviously the crowd will suffer.

Many experts said that 2019 is crucial years and could be a economic crisis because trade war between USA and China. If this trade war continue, i am believe it will effecting to others country and creating a bigger crisis than 2008. Hopely it will not happen because many people will suffering

I read some global news lately that there might an economic crash or crisis in coming year and this prediction are also in some online news. But an economic expert said that there might be a recession instead of economic crash. The possible triggers of economic crash are said to be a financial crisis where many companies borrowed short to fund long term assets. The effects on bitcoin is remain to be seen but I think the coin survive any financial crisis.

Just tell me is bitcoin safe to invest? I am going to invest some money on it. Contact me - facetime for pc (https://facetime4pc.com/)

How do you know about crash of situation economic at 2019 year, many prediction at the new year will have light and good for economic condition, but we have wait for it economic will crash or success.

I do not ask you about the source of your information. I also feel that the global crisis is coming. If it happens, the poorest people will suffer most of all. Millionaires will not see great changes.

Actually there are some clear signs which indicate that economic crisis is around the corner and it may happen by mid of 2019. This will be the end of Us Dollars and money will be transformed into digital currency which can take bitcoin to new high levels.

Economic crashes will have an impact on crypto prices and the downward trend is certain, but crypto has quite large and fast volatility so that recovery will occur in a short time and the profits we will get back

A crash, downfall, correction etc is progress. Our economic is something bigger than just only money, look what masses are able to do with BTC back when it was a hype, It skyrocketed a massive pump & dump. And in my eyes this is what happening right now. Time will prevail. What I said in the beginning was there is going to be some downturns this year up to 2019. I stated that it won't happen a 100% but there is a big possibility. Not a prediction just speculations & FACTS.

Short time? I would give crypto's at least 1.5 years. to recover

This is true, people starting from the first years of this community were always negative, I think the better thing to make or believe to some news is to criticize which one is fake or not, don't be fooled by random clickbairing article which may lead you to false perspective and pathway towards Bitcoin better to keep striving and keep working since everyone even the higher people keep saying that next year will be an amazing year for us.

I think that in any case, investing in Bitcoin at this stage is one of the best strategies that will allow you to guarantee the absence of any risks associated with the global financial crisis in 2019 or later. And for someone who has invested in Bitcoin before - all he needs to do now is to continue to keep his coins and not worry about anything.

will have a very big impact if the price of USD as a reference for conversion finally drops, bitcoin has its own value characteristics, but still uses the reference fiat reference exchange. I think this is good for the long term, but the most important thing is how BTC continues to grow and survive with many users.

I personally put 50% crypto 50% precious metal.
I think crypto bear will persist. Not lower than $3000 but not very higher either.
So gold is also a good hedge.

If it can real happen, chances are there will be many investors who are accustomed to investing in commodities, moving to reinvest their capital into bitcoin. I real want to be able to see this happen so that the growth of Bitcoin will recover as soon as possible.

predictions of economic accidents 2019, this can be attributed to a trade war carried out by China vs. USA, because a wide range of effects can occur, this can be a serious problem in the world of commerce, but bitcoin traders can take advantage of this situation by starting to replace the role of currency fiat between countries that are fighting with bitcoin, because what is happening now also starts to spread to currency wars, namely the dollar vs. yuan, if there is an economic downturn in the future what happens is saving the currency into crypto, such as experienced by Venezuela, which was hit hyper inflation.

If this happens, Bitcoin may be the best investment of 2019!!

If economic crisis happen in 2019, i think i am prefer invest in bitcoin and gold. We know gold is best store of value and investment and its more resistant than inflation. Some people call bitcoin as digital gold and if economic crisis happen, i think there is a chance bitcoin price will increase

if for investing in gold, indeed there is no doubt, from the royal era, gold has become a symbol of prosperity. while bitcoin is the right technology for the future, so it is predicted to have good development later

The agenda has begun.

Well it is not just 2019 , 2020 have indeed seen stuff that one might really say will bring the world down.
Gold , stocks , Fiat , Bitcoins and even the most powerful currency is dwindling.
One cannot even outlook the stable coin .
This is something that was getting bad since 2019 but at the beginning of 2020 it have caused even more of a havoc .
The countries are working together is the only positive thing that I can make out of it.

The real economic cash is happening in 2020 due to the corona virus pandemic, in my existence in this world, this is the biggest thus far I have witnessed.

When the global economy is down, a lot of things would happen, and if we relate it to crypto, we might see a downfall of the market as well although lately bitcoin has jump to $6000, but it's not stable, I don't want to expect that the crypto market will boom while the global economy is down.

Not yet, its going to fall. The world is going to halt. The gov wants to get rid of cash, they want a cashless world so they can control the world. Crypto is the only solution since its backed by us the people.
