2021 not Looking good!

Only things what could be good are Bitcoin and cryptocurrency
Other things dont look good!

The economy will go lowest i Think.

Becouse there is still some countries who operating quite normal like sweden, finland but 2021 I think they have to face reality

And I dont see that Central Banks will just recklessly print money anymore just to pump Up economy I think this time they will say no more free money we dont kill the currencies with inflation

I dont belive that money printing dream anymore
And I think the Central bankers are same realistic as I am.

2020 is more badder and 2021 is the year where we all get up from the bad things that happen to us this 2020, because 2021 is the year that we are going to have a vaccine, and CoVid will be wipe out in 2021, so I consider 2021 the year of hope, very much different from your analysis, once we get rid of the pandemic we are going to move on and get up.

I don’t think 2021 will ever get worse. This year is the worst for the economy (with the exception of Bitcoin, crypto, blockchain and DeFi industry, virtual companies, healthcare industries, etc.). The candidates for the most effective vaccine are lining up and may be distributed later in 2021. Astrazeneca, Moderna, etc., are some of the most likely candidates because of it’s 95% effectiveness. I bet that within 2021, we can all go back to normal and the economy would skyrocket it’s recovery rate. Just my opinion.

Lol, there is already a good sign that a vaccine will come out next year so that is a good news already. And if it happens then definitely 2021 will be very positive regardless if Central Banks will continue to print money or not.

So we might see some economy growing in the latter part of next year, and off we go, the world will have a recovery and we could be back to normal.

For crypto, of course, lots of optimism because it might be the year that we might see a bull run, pushing the price to new all time highs.

2020 is already worse and I we seem moving on and just accepting that we should be more careful in terms of avoiding Pandemic as well adopting the new normal, crypto and stocks were recovering already. 2021 can give a new hope to everyone who lost a lot in these year form life and mostly in trading and crypto activities.

I think 2021 would be economically very sound. The thing is, all the businesses, jobs are reopening with the new energy. Government will go hand in hand to bloom the economy of world. They have no option but to support each other, their locals, neighbours and create a chain of command to overcome this pandemic.

Moreover, 2021 will have reduced number of covid thus making it more easier for international borders to re-open and re-visit all the agenda's that we left. Money is still there, its just that its not flowing into the market because people are very conservative about it and thats but obvious. So according to my assumptions we gonna have best year ahead and not the other way around.

2021 is not started yet so how do you know what will happens? 2020 was the worst and the economy is recovering slowly and the good news is the vaccine for coronavirus is almost completed. Pfizer and Moderna have tested their vaccine for phase 3 and it was more than 94% effective. That means we will get the COVID19 vaccine in 2021 which will release the pressure.

I'm not entirely sure whether every country will adopt large-scale banknotes by 2021 or not. because this is still a mystery. however, realizing this needs to even start now.
which is one of the factors impacting the crisis in 2020, will be a reference for every country to prepare a better economy in the future.

Or there won't be enough companies in the first place to give people jobs.
Then we'll meet economy recession which is obviously a bad thing that causes a lot of bad consequences.
I hope it won't as I expect it to be, but thats just how I see it.

That makes sense and it could also be a reason why there are some management fund from US have been starting to diversify their portfolios into the bitcoin too.

I hear that a rumour about the money printing that will create a big inflation.
The bitcoin has been choosen by some companies to avoid such thing to happen.

You say that in 2021, the only good things are bitcoin and cryptocurrency, and the rest is bad.
I don't see 2021 as a good start to fix the shortcomings during the 2020 crisis caused by Covid 19?
Indeed, bitcoin and cryptocurrency are basically big benchmarks for the future in 2021, but we also shouldn't forget other factors, because from an economic perspective, bitcoin is still only part of the overall economic growth.
there are other economic sectors that are no less important and have a big role in advancing growth in 2021. for example, oil, gas, gold, the smell of coal and the position of the dollar in the eyes of investor countries.

How did you know? This year still has a month left and things are still having chances in particular with recovery, so what more with another year as an interval for recovery to occur. The problem is lack of assurance and certainty. This simply implies that we cannot conclude whether the market price will be increasing or not on the following months or years. The only thing we can do is to just wait for things to be in reality. Things do happen in an unpredictable manner and speculations won't really do something about natural market volatility.

We look forward to 2021 as the pandemic will end soon as they release vaccine in the USA which is good pfizer is helping people to defeat this covid , as we look forward our economy will rise up with fiat currency tourist spot and other business and companies will open sooner or later. World Bank will not print some money without any reason unless one country will ask for it to barrow some money to build up their economy again. And we will back in businesses soon and let's all hope that 2021 will be a good year for all of us.

Cmon, man bitcoin is not the only good thing in the world, you should try to find other enjoyments in your life

How are you jumping to such a conclusion? Can you foresee the future or something? Stop acting like some prophet who can predict future events.

Honestly, 2021 will probably be way better than 2020 for lots of people since 2020 is easily one of the worst for the majority due to the pandemic etc. Current cryptocurrency market is booming and it probably will continue booming next year too.

its very clear fact that if the central banks will print any more money the whole monetary system will collapse completly.

will they do this if they dont have the alternative way other then fiat based system ???  they dont have ready the other financial system yet ..so they cant kill the fiat based system yet so fast.
my logical thinking telling me they will not i rather expecting the higher taxes and things like that.
and even usa im sure the BIDEN will shut down all the dollar printing machines im sure of that.

its like wake up call dream is over lol:D

im not acting the forsee the future !!
its just the pure logical thinking and common sense :)

Can't do anything about it anyway and the upcoming recession is already long predicted even before pandemic occurs and the pandemic just make it even worse.
Just do prepare yourself so that you won't struggle when the recession happens. Atleast our crypto is bullish right now. That's plenty of opportunity for us to bank the money before we got affected by the recession and go through hardship.

Yes you are acting like one, the year hasn't ended, yet you're already assuming events, which we can say as someone foreseeing the future. But I also can probably assume that it would be not good, but it is better than 2020.

i dont act , you mean cant discuss about world and things and exposing our opinions?  dont you see that its just my speculation of scenarious what could happened based on what is going on all over the world and how the world masters the elite think how the things should be.

its all just logical conlcusion :)

There are no assurance 2021 is going to be good in terms of economy aspects not unless vaccine will be available next year and that's the only hope we have right now hence i've read some news that some virus cases is slow climbing up in some countries. Maybe we are being complacent to our sorroundings that's why it is difficult to fight this unseen enemy we have. And i don't think it next year will be worse than this year because we already have standards and procedures on how to overcome this crisis and by that time vaccine comes. Despite this pandemic, crypto remains stable and next year it will be more exciting to come.

No; they're not.  If they were, they wouldn't have gone ape-shit crazy with the money printing presses without any apparent plan as to how they're going to avoid inflation and massive debt. 

I'm hoping 2021 will be a better year, but I don't think the effects of COVID-19 have shown up in the stock market yet, and that could happen next year.  I'm also not sure about Biden's leadership in the US or about how much more lockdown measures we're going to see because of coronavirus.  I don't think 2021 will be quite as bad as this year, but I've been known to be wrong before when trying to predict the future.

Man, I hope you're right and I do hope the vaccine can be manufactured at such a rate that it can be given to as many people as possible as quickly as possible.  It's not going to look that way in the beginning, but we'll see.  I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed.

i think even reptiles have money printing limits:D

I believe 2021 will be better than this year because covid-19 caused a big financial problem to the world.


I don't see that the central bank will do that. Moreover, the central bank is subject to the government in charge and the legislative house. For example, through the government the central bank can be summoned to appear before the legislative house for questioning on a decision taken.

The government won't allow the citizens to suffer internationally if printing money will help.

i dont think so but lets see:D

How hilarious that prediction about a year coming, moves opposite to the prediction, in 2019 many would hope and say 2020 would be exciting, great well but for the people in china that knows about the virus, 2020 had it excitements but more of evils, every year comes with a version of its making, that what makes the world unpredictable, 2021 next year could wipe away all the bad events of 2020, or it is more of the same next year, regardless we anticipate it content.

You will be disappointed with this analysis. Do you know why?
Most analysts failed at times when they make predictions. Why didn't you see covid-19 coming with 2020?
I bet you were sleeping then. As long as US economy doesn't shamble, they will excel in every difficulties, this isn't the first time and wouldn't be the last time.
I can boldly speak for my country, we will be facing hyperinflation and no doubt about this one.

well im not predicting im telling things from my logical point of view.
the logically how i see what could be the case ,just logical conlclusion nothing else:)

If you do not see it that is simply because you are closing your eyes to the reality, governments with fiat currencies have always printed their currencies into oblivion, that is what always happens and this is not going to be an exception, I would not like this to happen since the crisis that is coming will make the Great Depression look like good times since all the currencies of the world will crash at the same time, something that has never happened, but at this point it is inevitable which is why we are seeing a renewed interest from institutional investors as they are looking for ways to protect their wealth.

I have a different view with the opening post, because I think 2021 will look really good when compared to 2020.
Maybe the corona virus cannot be stopped, but humans are getting used to it and will adapt to the corona virus.
So the economy in 2021 can improve, because many people are no longer afraid of facing the corona virus.

In fact, I believe that by 2021 the level of people's awareness of health protocols will improve. Moreover, there has
been a lot of positive news related to the corona vaccine, several pharmaceutical companies claim that the effectiveness
of existing vaccines is as high as 95%. This news will certainly have a positive impact on the economy, so I am sure that
in 2021 it is looking good.

It is not reckless for them if they have decided to have another set of money to be printed out. They are aware of the cause and effect of it and why they have ended up to that decision.

And before doing that, they have some given solution that can fight against inflation or slow it down before it goes too much up to the extent of what a normal person expects to happen.

If you do mean about the possible case when this pandemic wont be solution out then we would really be heading there were most economy on this world would really be on that verge.

If you do look that 2021 for not to be good then do you really had that crystal ball to look on?

We do already have some vaccine and sooner or later it would really be provided into the masses.

We cannot actually predict what will happen in the future, just like what you have said, there are actually lots of speculations that this year will be prosperous but look what happened to us right now there's crisis because of the pandemic. It is maybe normal nowadays that bad things are happening, maybe because there are lots of people that are greedy with knowledge and power that they using their might to gain those two, without thinking the equivalent cause of their action. 

We are not im not talking about predicting just Logical Financial Economic and Political conclusion based on current situation and future what might be the possibility

2020 is the worst and 2021 is the year where all of us will recover. There are no actions yet so how did you found out that 2021 will not be looking good. If it's because of the pandemic, vaccines are on the way right now and COVID-19 will be no longer a huge problem to the economy.
Yeah, it's hard to predict the future since many things can happen simultaneously. Speculation will be always speculation, it's not guaranteed that it'll happen. So I think 2021 will be our year of recovery but if you think 2021 will be also worst, I guess 2020 is worse since we don't know how can we handle ourselves in a pandemic situation that's why it's very hard to live and most of us don't have jobs.

I agree if crypto or Bitcoin looks good in 2021 but why you seem too worried about the world economy? It is too speculative if you stated the world economy will be worse in the next year. In my opinion, all countries have experienced the saddest condition this year. So, the next year should be the time to recover it and improve everything better.

We are still not sure about what will literally happen on year 2021 so it is too early to state that the upcoming year is not looking good already at this phase. With regards to crypto, we might be expecting a greater response in terms of its growth for we are seeing a positive response on the price growth this past few weeks up until now hoping that will last for longer time not just by the end of this year. With regards to economical status because of the existing pandemic, we can expect that there will be some positivity to arise since the vaccine created by Pfizer is already stated to be 95% efficient against covid-19 which is a great deal to say because it means that the economies of different countries around the world can go into recovery phase already.

I have to disagree with the OP. During the last few weeks, we have seen the gold prices declining and at the same time the crude oil prices have increased by around $10 per barrel (from $38 per barrel to $48 per barrel). For me, these are the strongest indications that the economy is in the right track. Investors believe that the markets are recovering and that is the reason why they are moving the money from gold to stock market.

The "Toilet paper" money printing system or commonly known as the "Fiat" system is quickly coming apart with the latest pandemic and the ripple affect of all of this senseless money printing will soon show it's real impact on the global economy.

I do not know if Crypto currencies are the solution for this, because the global economy are already built around a "debt" system and Crypto currencies will have to adapt to that or the world has to adapt. (Massive Loans will be a problem, if you do not have the tokens to back that.)

                                 No more printing money out of thin air to stimulate the global economy. 

I think in 2021, we will still face the corona pandemic. Although it is possible that vaccine treatment for corona has appeared.  But the impact of economic pressures because of the corona is still shadowing, because there is no truly powerful vaccine to date. In fact, there are still many vaccines that are being trialed.
For now alone according to news sources, there are over 25 vaccines that are being tested. We don’t know if the vaccine is suitable or not. But at least this becomes a hope that the coronavirus can be completely wiped out from this earth. But for that, the economy will not rise. All are still depressed because of the pandemic.
We understand the situation. But in this pandemic, crypto, especially bitcoin, is a light in the dark.

In 2020 we experience a very severe deterioration, especially in the covid-19 virus which continues to hit and the economy has slumped during that time, but we continue to live until we are waiting for a vaccine that is said to be ready to be distributed to the community I hope this can be the beginning where we will recover in the year 2021.

I saw that at the end of the year there were many progress in the economic field, although they were still limited, but this continued to flow in the industrial world, especially blockchain, which recently could reach the highest value or will become a milestone again, but I still can see that recovery can occur in the next year. this is just speculation and hope this keeps happening.

I don't agree with your bad outlook for 2021. In my opinion everything for the next year depends on how good we can manage the corona pandemic. Once we can contain the pandemic everything will recover. We are having multiple companies already mass producing a vaccine for next year. Now it's all about getting the people vaccinated and back to a normal life. It can't get much worse than this year and the many lock downs.

Why such a negative analysis? We're not done in 2020 yet but you already have that kind of mindset. That's sad. Don't you want to have a better year for 2021?

In my years of existence, 2020 is the worst year. It's just I didn't expect to experience a pandemic like this. Well, not in our lifetime. I don't want to live this way for the rest of my life so I am hoping that 2021 will be a better year. And all of the setbacks we experienced this 2020 will be redeemed for great comebacks on 2021. And I hope that your analysis is wrong.

Don't be too harsh, i think year 2020 is the worst year i ever experience in my life. Instead of thinking such negative vibes why don't you wait what will 2021 bring us I'm sure this coming year will be better than the present year. Other countries have risen little by little and gradually the establishments are opening up already. Let's just hope for the better and don't be so negative.

In my location many new foreign businesses are starting to build again new jobs which means in the next year 2021 will be the time of recovering again after this pandemic a strong economy will be build again and most businesses will reopen and I really hope that by next year the pandemic will finally go away and start a more fresh and covid free environment.  

The pandemic has had a devastating effect on the global economy since early 2020. Due to which the Fiat currency suffered a lot and its value came down but 2021 is not bad. It will help a lot in controlling the epidemic and may increase the price of cryptocurrencies. There is a possibility of getting vaccinated against the virus in the new year and the price of cryptocurrencies will go up a lot. That is why traders are coming and investing the global economy will overcome the effects of the virus.

2021 is likely to be challenging.  This year, mass vaccinations against coronavirus will be carried out in many countries.  This can provoke social tension. 

The Covid-19 pandemic must be defeated by summer.  At the same time, according to forecasts, the economic situation in many countries will deteriorate.  People will begin to realize that their real incomes have dropped. 

Will the tourism industry recover in 2021?  We can definitely say that this is not the case.  In the future, geopolitical tensions will replace the coronavirus.  Air traffic between different countries will not be fully restored.

At the same time, the price of Bitcoin will rise.

We can still see a lot of gaps to bounce back in 2021. I agree that the mindset that the OP says is too negative, I'm sure not everyone will think that bad. and also the govt will not easily let its people suffer. there are still many ways and work that can be done to overcome this

What year could be worse than the year that this CoVid spread out, this is the year that every country suffered economic turmoil and people are losing their job and their lives, 2021 will be a better and even brighter year than 2020 as this is the year that vaccine will eradicate this CoVid and the year 2021 is the year where everything will be back to normal.
Cryptocurrency will be better this 2021 and also the year where we will reach a lot of milestones.

Printing more money will not lift the economy instead it will deplete the value of the economy and to lessen the capacity of money to buy. The value of money or fiat currency is base on the value of the economy of a certain country. If the economy of the country grows then we cqn expect the value of money and the capacity of the money to buy or exchange is high also. Printing more money will only resort to high inflation rate and that is what usually happen to a country with more fiat money circulated. China fiat is one example with low amount or value but high supply. However, china is not a poor country and it is the opposite where china hold much power compare to other countries.

I expect that the 2021 will be a good year, my first reason is because we are currently in uptrend wherein the price of different cryptocurrencies are keep increasing and for me this year is still the accumulation phase wherein I expect that the 2021 will be prosperous wherein there will be a lot of opportunities that we can see and we can grab all of those for us to not miss that kind of moments. The second is the pandemic that we are currently experiencing where I expect that all of the countries will finally solve their problem because of the vaccine that will be finished at the end of the current year. The businesses will finally comeback and the employment rate will increase again where it can affect the whole economy.

Next year (2021) will be better than this year, This year would be the worst year so far because of so many disasters that happen especially this pandemic virus, a lot of changes happen and it is more on negative things but now we can see the small recovering of our economy, which is really a good thing so I do think that next year would be good and hoping that the vaccine would be available next year.
But we still cannot conclude things right now about the year of 2021, we are still in year 2020 and there are many things that may change.

How are you so sure about how the 2021 turns out to be?
Yes, vaccine has been in a clinical trial and it's almost a hundred percent working effectively, but it still takes time to implement a mass vaccination and governments will be spending again to purchase this vaccines. So, I guess most countries heavily affected by the virus will still suffer economic downturn even during the new normal in 2021.

Im not sure just logical conclusion :)

In 2021 there is a very high probability of inflation. this is one result of the pandemic. And of course this will affect cryptocurrencies. I also think that in 2021 the market condition will be even worse than 2020.

I hope that 2021 won't be worse than 2020. The vaccine is underway. And the world is slowly recovering from the lock-downs.  

How did you know that 2021 will not be a good year? 2020 is the worst year because of pandemic many people died, lost their job and the economy collapsed. And while pandemic continue giving difficulties to the lives of many people, another disaster happened in my country because of typhoons. It's really a bad year. But we are looking forward for another year with full of hopes and new life.

Even if the vaccine is made and corona virus is eliminated it will take a long time to recover because the whole economy has dropped and some countries are in a critical situation because printing money is not the solution for long term.

One thing that will improve is at least workers who work on daily wages will be allowed to work again which will at least start things moving forward but how are people going to gain their jobs back who lost it already and their replacement has been found by the companies. Hotels and other hospitality industries have a massive set back. Tough questions ahead but once the virus is deleted we can at least think and work towards improving it.

From there, the economy and the life of those people inside the country will have a much better chance to be back into normal, many things

that needs to comply with, and even the government will print more fiat currencies that's won't resolve the problem right away, temporary

solution is not the good thing but instead look for long and lasting to continue surviving.

Vaccine is the only thing that could change the our views in the future, we fear of the covid-19 that's why we are not doing the usual things we do, like business operators before the pandemic and there are some restrictions, when vaccine is release, it's like a victory for us and our economy will recover and will soon boom.

By 2021, most likely the vaccine will be out.

I don't it's going to look bad 2021 is something we hope for that will get all of us out of this pandemic, 2020 is such a bad year for all of us or the whole humanity, everything is down and bad and many lose their job and economies are down, people wish that 2020 will be over and we can have vaccine this 2021 so we can eradicate this virus.

Why are you so pessimistic, the world put their hopes in 2021 because of the vaccine, all your perception about 2021 is all wrong, Cryptocurrency is doing great but in general, things will be back to normal as it was when we don't have this CoVid.
Right now the world needs hope and they need something to look forward to with hope and the year 2021is the year that can bring that ray of hope, so change your mindset.

Vaccines have long-term effects and until now the vaccines have not been fully tested properly and of course this is an accelerated process that is being forced to create a vaccine that can handle this disaster, hopefully in the future it will not have a worse impact, I am more predicts that many will sell vaccines from various countries to improve the economy in their countries.

Well who follows current global events (and knows history) don't have big hopes for next year! It's not about positivity or negativity, it's reality! Just gather facts, too many wars and conflicts (currently more than 40 active conflicts around the world), poverty, climate changes, economy and law & order is a disaster in many countries,  and many other things...on top of all that we can add politicians and bankers, they are taking care to stay where they are to keep their chairs!

Cryptoboss is generally crazy with his topics (many will agree with thi, don't get offend man), but I agree with him and his words, things doesn't look good! While on the other side bitcoin and crypto are here to stay and make progress!

We have been through many crises and surely we will win this time again. Many countries are facing the most dangerous desiease which causes the economy to decline. However, others are in good situation and because of that fact, we will be able to normalize the economy since we are in intercomercial era where countries help others to develop faster

Vaccines are also created. This is a positive news to all of us. Dont worry much. I find 2021 is brighter than ever

Yeah, already the impact of the virus has reduced and on top the vaccine are being made and tested daily so we are not far away from getting rid of this virus. Once recovered we can return to our work and start again and people will be more in the markets to spend money because they were locked for an year almost so shops will have good times. Businesses will run again and there will be more jobs which means unemployment will be also cured.

The only bad thing might be that taxes would be increased by the government as a measure to tackle the economic structure but apart from that I don't see any major obstacles in the path of revival.

Can't disagree and Im not happy about it.
Moreover, a lot of countries rely on USD nowadays, so it will hurt overall world economy, not only US.
Hopefully small and mid businesses will awaken as early as possible to boost economy and provide working places

The problem of inflation will eventually be resolved as well because it is unlikely that inflation will continue to occur, at least there will be a counterweight there. Indeed, it doesn't look good over time but it can at least make for a faster recovery. Besides that, next year the release of vaccines might start and that way activities and other work activities will be active again, so I think next year it will be fine and the problems will definitely be resolved and this world will be fine.

Why is it not good for the general economy?  Although I know that there is a high chance that fiat money will suffer heavy inflation in some countries in 2021, but vaccines will be widely produced in 2021. Once the corona virus is under control, the economy there will be wonderful springtime.
They will be more motivated to work after a year of being imprisoned at home and will definitely work a lot harder. I just hope that from now to the end of 2021 governments will stop printing money so inflation is as mild as possible.

We don't know what will happen in 2021 and it's still a wish. I cannot say that everything will be fine even though from the beginning the government has tried to improve and control the economy for the better. At this stage, the government continues to improve the welfare of the population so that the economy is stable. It is hoped that by 2021 a vaccine can be found and distributed in order to increase the degree of global health from being alert to being what it was before. When the business world is back on its feet, I am sure that the people's economy will improve and the government can fix the economy that had collapsed.

Bitcoin and altcoin are crypto asset that have been tested to withstand pandemic situation throughout 2020. Stock investor are turning to bitcoin and cryto because the stock market has get a huge impact from pandemic. Only bitcoin and altcoin seem to be moving against the flow and the price is increasing, I think that's very good.

Not necessarily bad I guess, we hope there will be economic recovery in the future, don't just look at the pandemic side.  but economic recovery is influenced by several factors, such as how fast and productive human mobility, mobility of goods, services, to the economy.  Currently, economic recovery has occurred in the US and China, thus affecting the upbeat performance of exports.  We must be optimistic that 2021 will be better 👌🏻

Well, if you say so...
Hmm... Idk why but seems you haven't heard anything about covid vaccines that are 90% effective in treatment. How crypto can be a "good" and this vaccine - "don't look good"? Without doubt, this year was bad, upcoming years will be worse but not so long, at least this was the great lesson for future, we must learn on mistakes and there are moments when we haven't been in certain situations, we learn and develop.
Money printing only helps in certain situations. It can help me to escape today but tomorrow is another thing, here I have to fight 2x hardly than before, this is the huge disadvantage of immediate financial help. Imagine, you have loan in bank and pay percentages, then take another loan to pay the first one, more percentages, harder to pay.

In fact there is practically no one who knows whats going to happen next year.
It may sound obvious, but I include even analysts who have access to some govs statistics and etc.
There are so many variables in the equation that its almost impossible to be sure.

That's right because the foreseeable is indeed looking dangerous and no one predicted the corona virus because it was something new for everyone but we all predicted the economies are going to get shattered and they did so you might have a bitter but true prediction.

Crypto markets have done well even now also even in the worst possible times but the economies might take years to recover and blatantly speaking some countries might never recover from what they have lost already. Let us hope for the best but things don't look good.

Of course, the negative effects of the fight against the coronavirus pandemic will be felt for many years to come.  However, our world has experienced far worse epidemics.  The world economy is able to recover quite quickly.  It is quite possible that there may even be a global economic crisis, but any economic crisis is a path to recovery.  The next year will certainly not be easy.  However, you shouldn't panic either.  For cryptocurrency, 2021 should be a very good year.  In general, the coronavirus is good for increasing people's interest in cryptocurrency.

The analogy of past and present is not in line with with future development regarding this situation. But I do get the point, change is inevitable and there will be progress in the future technology. But that might not be the case in this industry because this does not represent technology in general but rather a branch only of it.
To answer the concern, this market industry in general is unpredictable. Things might occur within few days as observed recently; continuous price increase, then a sudden crash, then recovery and what's next is not certain. 2021 therefore could either be better or not than this year depending on factors that would affect this industry as future speaks of it.

every year someone who makes these predictions comes out and manipulates people. nobody knows what will happen in the markets.

How can you possibly say that 2021 is not looking good? How can you think that it can get any worse than this year, that has had the most catastrophic pandemic the world has seen for many decades? Yes there will be large recessions around the world, but at least every country is currently going to recover at roughly the same pace - nobody has any particular advantage. Many jobs will be lost as offline retailers have collapsed, but hopefully that can be offset by new jobs created within online focused businesses. I think once a vaccine is in place (or several vaccines) then it will really start a turn around and the economy will start getting much better - there was already a sharp drop back in March so a lot of the bad news has already been factored in to stock market prices. It is better to be optimistic about the future and hopefully every country around the world starts being more responsible. Trading and dropping the protectionist stances that has infected politics in the last few years will be the best way to retain peaceful relations between all countries. The more reactionary and weak "patriotic" focused politicians who are pushed out, the better.

Well, not all of them though. Most of them don't just make predictions based on something because for me that would be just their assumption which is harder to believe since these assumptions have no proof. For me, it is not to manipulate the people but to warn or inform them of what may happen in the near future. The market is volatile so we never know what might happen that is why there are some predictions that we need to account for.

I'm already used to it because every year end, a lot of predictions and speculations come out for the following year. But in reality, no one can predict what will be the real scenario for the year to come but i'm looking forward for more positive news about bitcoin and the rest of crypto market as 2021 might be the year of most awaited bull run. And i think for the world's economy, it would recover soon as the cure for corona virus is already in process and anytime by 2021, effective vaccine will soon to be distributed worldwide.

this kind of thread will be exist anywhere and anytime, there will be a thread that always fed up with bad news even though they can't proof anything to backup their opinions.

they won't do that, if they would do that that's just really dumb in their side for the central banks. just imagine being central banks and just randomly printing money to saving up the economy, that is not how it works

Please, for the sake of everyone's peace of mind and yours too, do not overthink. We are now very near at the end of this miserable 2020 so left all the negativities we experienced this year and start 2021 with a smile and hope in your heart :). That's the best thing I can advice to you.

Yeah! Pandemic as well as calamities made the price of everything especially food and other perishable goods go high but I think we are still far from inflation at least in our countrie's current situation. Our government can still handle the pressure and not even thinking of printing more money. Thus, I still consider our life way more comfortable compare to those poorer ones.

I am glad that good news are sprouting now. A recent study published by the OCTA Research (https://mb.com.ph/2020/11/17/quezon-citys-covid-19-positivity-rate-slows-down-further/) that the number of covid cases per day here are getting lower. That's why the IATF is now giving more freedom to the public while continue imposing strict health and safety protocols. I also heard on the news that Great Britain also got their own version of vaccine. See? In the pile of problems our Earth have right now, there are still good portions in there. What a reason to feel blessed :)! Try to appreciate the small blessings around you. It is all about the right mindset dude, make optimism your lifestyle habit.

yes, this market like manipulated by some one, because pump and dump happened,
and $ 20k is a very tough resistance for Bitcoin to get past it, look now,
Bitcoin's performance seems to have entered the final stage, I am increasingly not confident to buy bitcoin at a price of $ 18k and above,
if this support can strong 2021 is looking good.

You can't give your prediction to 2021 when the 2020 is not over yet and there many events to face with. The president of usa didn't make reaction to crypto and there are many other not answered questions that's why it's too soon to to a prediction about 2021. but if you want to do a prediction you should check what happened on 2017 and 2018. On 2017 bitcoin could reach the ATH but the price fallen down due to the fomo. but even this prediction can't be used for 2021 because on 2021 we have bitcoin price moving much more stable comparing to the 2017 and there are many companies to help the bitcoin to rise even faster such as paypal and greyscale. All these I said here can't be a reason to say 2021 won't be good year economically.

We cannot assume that 2021 is bad year nor good since we don't know what will be the score of bitcoins at that time comes so maybe we should keep looking upto the news since if there's another huge thing happen which in favor with bitcoins then provably we can determine that 2021 is a good year but if there's something threat comes then maybe it's the for us to think our next move to be safe from the dumps and not to lose our assets.

did you travel on the year 2021 to see all of that your talking to ? every new year is a new hope so dont think negatively in advance because many optimistic people are going to get angry with you .  on 2021 there are many good things that will happen such as the released of the covid vaccine and if that happens every economy will be helathy again if vaccine is proven to be effective . theres also a good news on many major cryptos eth is one of them because most of its updates are going to start next year and many more .

Economy is not doing as horrible as people imagine, which is very weird because I honestly imagined it would actually suck a lot worse than this right now. What we need to look at is not just the number of stocks that went up or anything, those are horrible stats and even though they do look great now compared to what it was, it is definitely still not as good as it could be. However what we should look at is the unemployment numbers, homeless numbers, people who need healthcare and
can't afford it.

If those numbers are better than when the pandemic started, that means the world is doing better. Look at the unemployment numbers, all around the world too, that is a strange number because it looks like it broke all records but went down very fast as well, the recovery was faster than anyone can imagine.

Yeah I have hope in the new year because this must be optimistic that it can be a change for the better, especially from this pandemic, I look forward to 2021 so much, vaccines will be distributed, bitcoin prices skyrocket, the economy will recover and everyone can enjoy it if this hope can be achieved.
Therefore with negative thoughts that will make you more contemplating because there is no goodness, even experts say this will be better than before so please wait ..

When darkness is over, light can be seen. The price of Bitcoin is quite noticeable at this time, so it seems that this is the only direction of light.  The vaccine for this epidemic will come to our door in a few days. Even if it is not in the market, every country will soon start economic action to cut the economic downturn.

I don't think that 2021 will be worse than in 2020. There will be a lot of things that will happen in 2021, such as vaccines will be found, every government of any countries will give many stimuli for the economy, and in the next year, we will return back to our routine like we used to do but with the different situation. Every country will support industry to grow up again, give them subside for capital and when the industry can survive, there will be many job vacancies for job seekers.  Don't be pessimistic, in the new year we will face new hope, and this is our occasion to get new future.

You can not make it generalize future economy due to each country has different preparation to face 2021 in this first year of pandemi [oh ya fyi that covid-19 was found in wuhan on 17 November (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/coronavirus-china-first-case-b1724282.html) so we(human) passed first year with this covid].  Some countries pass this first year pandemi with high strictly protocol and regulation so they rise up their economy slowly in certainty.

The year 2020 was the year when countries experienced a certain level of economic decline, but we all know the reason for this, it was like this due to the virus. At the end of the year, a certain stage has been reached in vaccine developments. If the vaccine found provides a permanent solution, most countries will receive it as soon as possible and will start to recover economically in 2021.

You really just decided the fate of the whole world just by looking at Sweden and Finland. You should take note that both of this countries are operating normal because of the fact that they have an immediate response to the current events that might struck them. The economy of most counties are already at its lowest and might even fail after some time. You are saying that you are realistic but your only looking at developed countries. The potential of Third world countries to grow is plenty but they are not just finding the best decisions to do that.

We cannot tell the future of cryptocurrency if it will be good or bad next year. The economy of the world right now is very bad. But cryptocurrency is still strong.

No more economic downhill?
We can only fighting for it , the result still unknown whether the world recover very well or face another bigger problem to get hyperinflation in most places, this is what we are afraid of.
Money getting worthless, properties goes down , hunger everwhere and many worse things.
The future will always uncertain but judging by our current condition i think 2021 wont be any worse than 2020 where everything is messed up.

lets try to be realistic if the fed will print more usa dollars the dollar will be de valued.
if they dont print enough the economy of usa will suffering and after suffereing economy the dollar will collapse.

do we see any revolutionary ways here to save usa economcy and usa dollar???
2021 are not looking great so lets be realistic here.

It's not actually a big surprise, if you check, the USA's federal government need to extend the infinite credit card to increase the debt next June, and if they fail to convince congress, things will go pretty south.

The most favorable year is probably 2019 :)). 2020 happens too fast for COVID, but before that the economy has shown signs of recession. Everything is just beginning so I don't want to comment on a good year. But there will be more interesting things to happen.

is the US dollar the standard for the world economy? Bitcoin price seems to tend to increase against dollar devaluation, don't you think it's a good thing for us? The US government will survive although many people suffer especially those without a source of income. However, the vaccine has been found, hopefully it's the solution to stop the Pandemic, the economy will gradually recover in 2021 imho.

what are you worried about it will not happen if this pandemic ends and this virus is destroyed hope the economy will continue to improve even though many countries are in trouble and this situation is still continuing 2021 there is definitely progress to overcome the worsening economy in various countries there is a cooperation between countries improving the economy in various countries maybe this is also one solution to solve the problem if there is an economic crisis this will be an obstacle for the country to survive something assistance or cooperation between countries will be the best solution to overcome the crisis.

I don't think 2021 would be as bad as 2020. Well, hopefully. Right now, numerous vaccines are already rolling out. There were several vaccines stated to be 95% and up effective and safe to be administered and are just waiting for the go signal of the FDA to be distributed in different countries. As of the moment, many countries are also applying to get an enough supply for their citizens once the FDA approves and give the green light.

Our government is applying for 20-30 million vaccine supply as they said to be capable to vaccinate those population per year. It is estimated to be locally available in our country by April to June 2021. However, it is also possible that few citizens able to pay would be vaccinated first before the official release of vaccines care of the government.

I just really hope for the best next year because of the vaccines. I wish to go back to the "normal" flow of events. However, I think it's going to be an entirely new normal set up. Nonetheless, I'm rooting for an economic bounce back of each countries as well as the growth of bitcoin community.

Likely we are Going to see Not
U Not V but L recovery!

Same situation like was 1930.

No body dont like bad things but need to be realistic

2021 is just around the corner. And I think it will be better for cryptos that are very promising. Bitcoin is still good and I hope it will continue to be better in 2021.

No matter what will happen this coming 2021, the important is we are moving forward and strive to make our life normal. Covid 19 will lessen to spread if the vaccine will become available next year. Vaccine will prevent covid virus and  the economy will continue to recover even slowly. Just think positively and continue to support the cryptocurrency which has been our great helper in times of need caused by the covid sensation.

You are very optimistic for 2021. There are still to many open questions to looking forward positively to 2021. What if vaccine is not working as desired? What if global financial stability begins to falter, as you can already hear from some statements and leads us into a financial crisis that is bigger than the 2008? And so on ...

The hit we had was like the Titanic hit the iceberg... What comes next?  
The Panic but it comes too late!


We are on titanic now,  we should ask our government officials what's going on If they say dont panic then it means " Dont over growd the exit door "
What i think are the exit doors?
The stock market first door comes up in my mind.
If economic situation are bad we need cash many people have good ammount of cash in stock markets when we see like 40-50% price drops many people Will start panic selling.

This is not joke its reality

The hope to survive will allow everyone to continue life. With this available vaccine it will help the economy to start little by little.
There are businesses that started to work.

Virus prevent people and scared everyone but with this news and if ever that this vaccine really helps to boost the health of everyone
the next to follow is people will again go to ordinary routine. Tough but needed to continue.

For me 2021 could be a very interesting year for me, its like the new beginning after all the disasters happened this year. How can we say that its going to be a bad year next year when everything will recover from economic loss it would not be an instant but through slow process everything will be back to normal compare to the past pandemics that really brought the world to its knees.

Do you have a crystall ball to what will gonna happen by year 2021? In my opinion, this year is the worst because of this pandemic, many people have died, suffered a lot, have lost their jobs and even the economy down fall. Also, their is a good news that soon vaccine will comes out and will be available Although we're close to end of this year, I’m still in positive thoughts that the year 2021 will be good. The economy will recover and people can go back to normal lives.

I think there is a legitimate reason to be worried about the next year because during this one governments have printed so much money that inflation is going up very rapidly in many countries and even if the stock market seems like it is reaching new highs and everything is OK, the economy of the world indicates that tens of millions of people have lost their jobs and those jobs are not coming back because those businesses have closed their doors and there is a possibility that the next year this problem compounds and more people lose their jobs and at that point no matter how much money governments print the economy will be beyond salvation.

Hopefully there will be, but keep in mind that vaccines aren't medication for the already sick. So what are we hoping for in herw really? I don't want to sound pessimistic but if things go to the dumpster in the medical sector of each cpuntry, we'll have a tough 2021 in our hands to handle. This among other reasons are why people think that the world economy is not going to recover that quickly. You can't just control shrinkage by just hiring more people on your company, you gotta make sure that they stay as well. This goes for the world economy too, a fix isn't a fix if it doesn't repair the main problem. And I don't see vaccines as being the repair we were waiting for.

To be honest, we should not think negatively and focus on the good things. Even to the fact that 2020 was one of the worst year, we should also be thankful.

Bitcoin had a worst dumped from 10,000 down to approximately 3,000-4,000 again but this event made the world realized that Bitcoin could be a safe haven to this kind of global crisis. This resulted for Bitcoin  to gain support from institutional investors which what was really need to grow the market capitalization. Eventhough bad things happen, be positive because it will always need a good event to make things neutral again.

We cannot predic lt the future, 2021 is still yet to come. What we can do is be prepared for the future.

I see nothing but a pessimistic opinion right there. Do check the bolded word, yes its opinion and not a fact. Regardless of what might happen in the future, I believe that there is no one in this whole word that wants panic especially global panic due to all those crazy stuff that you have described so far. Thats nothing more than your pessimistic opinions

The economy overall might not be good and it might be bad for some countries but there wont be any global panic. The stock market might not be doing good but it will definitely hold

They need to go along with the flows and market transitions otherwise they will be left behind by the other countries who are already accepting cryptos and digitalization. If they remain focusing on paper money, they'll be out from the race.

That's exactly, we need to face the reality and that paper money is less needed this time than acquiring an online mode of payment, and so the banking institutions will do such thing as well. I know that most of us are looking for an easy and fast way mode of transaction.

---

But I believe that 2021 is much better than in 2020. I have this kind of possibility coz I know that government leaders are also seeing what could be good and beneficial, that adopting the new system is better and acceptable.

So we know that we had massive printing all around the world to save the economy after covid lockdowns. This will eventually hit us back especially that there was a lot building being done and we are in a housing bubble that people won't have the money to sustain. How are they going to pay your mortgage if you lost the job during the pandemic? Will people think of buying houses when their jobs aren't secure anymore?

I don't think that we'll see the breakdown in 2021. It's too early. The full force of it will probably come in 2 or 3 years.

It's true that currently only cryptocurrencies look good, some businesses experienced a decline in profit and other assets were not
as profitable as cryptocurrency. Moreover, the spread of the corona virus cannot be stopped, this is making the economy even worse.
I also agree that the government will not continue to implement a money printing policy again, because hyperinflation can occur if
solving economic problems only relies on printing money. It is true that 2021 will not look good if it does not immediately seek solutions
to economic problems.

It's not the right  solution at all, printing new fiat will cause more big problems in the long run, government needs to find
longer solution than trying to have a short one.

With this pandemic where everyone is not ready the only thing that matters is to continue surviving, though vaccines are
already available and chances that it will help to lessen the spread after that economy will start to pump back.

I believe that 2020 can be not only bad but also the best year for some. The same situation could happen in 2021. At least someone survived the pandemic and is happy about it, and someone became rich thanks to investments in Bitcoin, given the price difference at the beginning and at the end of this year. In addition, in 2021 we really expect the results of halving, and thanks to this, the next year may be the limit of our dreams.

I think the economy is starting to recover right now after vaccine found and just left to be distributed.
Although, most of the countries that could handle this pandemic usually are developed countries and the developing countries gonna suffer a lot.

Speaking of crypto market, it seems we really did well in this year, so many things coming up helping bitcoin price to get pumped.

The ongoing year is quite good than predicted. When the same is asked with people who haven't known about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will state this year to be bad for them. Based on the present market situation and the growth expectancy there is increased chance of growth getting forwarded to the year 2021. More special occasions were scheduled for different top listed altcoins in the market. This makes 2021 to be good in my view.

Really, I think so. Because the year 2020 the year damage all the side of well-being. The pandemic occurs many losses that may never coverable. The year will remember by the following generation because of its demolition. 2021 can't recover this loss. The existence of loss will continue in the long run. This will take a long time to recover and manage the loss.

In terms of growth, adoption, price and overall bitcoin in pandemic has being the outstanding as compared to any other markets it seems. Also, with growing interest of institution in bitcoin is just adding more value to it and demand will keep on rising. More and more businesses should now starts accepting bitcoin as a payment mode and this will be more useful use of bitcoin as well.

More useful use of Bitcoin?

Like what?

I don't see 2021 been way worst than this year 2020, I don't think any year can be as bad as 2020, IMO 2021 will be like a recovery year for the world, cause the entire world economy crumbled during the pandemic this year, also 2021 is the year when the covid-19 vaccines will be available to everyone around the world, so life around the world will officially go back to the way it was, and I think no matter what happened this year the feds won't stop printing paper money. :-\

It has been announce that the vaccine is already ready, but since we are in the last month of the year, so mostly the development will be in next year. The economy has struggled this year but what's important is we survive, which means if vaccine is release soon, slowly the world will recover and we will be back to normal.

It is true that this pandemic generated huge losses into every country in this world. Businesses closing down and huge losses with limited number of customers but this is just certain. It is a result of the pandemic, we can't control the pandemic and we should expect these losses. That loss would continue next year not because we can't recover it, but because the effect of pandemic is still here.

Okay. There are people like you who believe this will be the worst year as we are yet to recover from the financial losses we incurred during the pandemic, and there are also people who believe tjat 2021 is the highest time for the economy to recover from it. And personally, I don't think it's that bad to even consider hyperinflation and such, I have good faith that this 2021 offers better opportunities more than 2020 did, both in the economic world and to crypto as well.

That is your ow opinion but we do not know the future events. Just take an example to this year that no one predicted that the world will be having trouble with the pandemic. It will just make sense that in the year 2021 all events are possible so we cannot expect to have a good result for cryptocurrency or bad. But, whatever the upcoming events may be it is better to expect the worst than the good things that will going to happen.

they would if they thought they would need it Of course, with the right thoughts and calculations before doing it,
inflation will continue to occur as long as there are no restrictions in printing money.

2021 will still not be a good year especially that we are still fighting in pandemic. All of us are not safe but we do not have a choice and the year 2021 will still not be a year for recovery.

Anyway, when we talk about the cryptocurrency then my guess still the same. 2021 will not be a good year for cryptocurrency anymore after most of investors will get their profit and that bitcoin market will be crashing but FYI that would also be the best time to buy bitcoin.

More like when the value of your money cannot longer afford to put food on the table, this becomes a big challenge especially when there is hyper printing of money that can lead to unnecessary money in circulation. This most of the time resulting to decrease in purchasing power.
In summary, its recession that's unhealthy for everyone.

We are still in 2020 which for me is the worst year I have ever lived in, and your trying to tell me that something way worse than this is on its way,do you see the future?  :D common man, 2021 can't be that bad as you think, after all the vaccine for covid-19 is already out, just that distributions will start next year, so that's definitely a reason why 2021 won't be that bad as you think it's going to be, so just expect things to start going back to normal by 2021 stop praying for the worst we have been through hell already.  ;D

I fully agree with you, 2020 was a shock for all of us. 2021 just can't be as bad as this year. Even if it is the same mess like we are now in, atleast we are prepared for it, better than we were in December 2019 when all this mess started. We need to stay optimistic and hope for a better year.

People cant just avoid on having those kind of hopes because if we are approaching the last days of this year then if we do find it not really that pleasant or good then its just
normal for us to hope that there should be at least some good things to happen on next year.We didnt even anticipated that we would able to see 19k price as of this year
on where majority is been predicting that reaching ath would take several years to come in the future basing of with those previous movement or the intensity of it.
Nothing can predict out on what would be the future looks like thats why we should really anticipate and readying up ourselves from time to time on possible things
that might happen.

2021 not looking good? How can you tell if 2021 won't be good for the world? From my personal point of view 2021 will be a year when life return to normal after the long 9months pandemic this year ,i don't think anything bad is going to happen even if I can't tell what the future holds, but I'm hopeful things will get better by 2021, I know the economy of alot of countroes crashed during the pandemic, but I believe 2021 will definitely good cause there will no such thing as covid-19 to hinder their growth.

It's not looking good for countries who will have a hard time acquiring vaccine for pandemic these are poor countries or third world countries who will line up after the rich countries get their vaccine, 2021 is a year of building up and the economy will start to open up again the lowest point of economy is this year not 2021.

No need to worry about 2021. I believe it will be a good year. During this one year, have we learned less to deal with Covid? The Corona virus continues to spread throughout the world and forces everyone to adapt to life in the new normal era. so there is no need for financial assistance anymore.

I'm optimistic too for the year of 2021. Pandemic already caused a lot of trouble to many countries in many factors and I hope since some vaccine are already developed and approved, we can go back to normal by next year. I miss going out without having to think if you're still not sick and seeing busy people going to their work every morning.

I doubt it.

QE is basically on everyone's agendas right now and will likely continue to be in the future. A lot of central banks have been swayed from a hawkish, conservative stance to a much more accommodative and experimental regime due to the effects of the pandemic.

When the vaccine comes out there is no doubt that the fiat economy will rebound. It would be unrealistic to proclaim otherwise.

But I also believe that BTC and crypto in general will have a great year, as they are increasingly seen as a hedge against downturn (further evidenced by this COVID crisis). The fact that institutional investors and even retiree funds are drastically increasing their positions is a great sign in terms of short term returns at the very least. BTC and fiat economy both having a good year simply aren't mutually exclusive.

Due to the 2020 pandemic, it caused an economic crisis worldwide. most countries are trying to cope with the crisis. There are countries that consume almost all resources. therefore, 2021 does not look very positive economically.

This is the reality of the world we live, we don't know what will happen in the future but we will continue to find ways to survive.
Countries will struggle, that's given, but we have to fight the covid-19 by making the right measures to still survive, eventually we will master it and slowly we will rise. Based on what I have observed, slowly, the world is not recovering, we already know what to do as we have adjust with this long pandemic, but this would not last long but the effect will.

The future is indeed unpredictable. That's for sure. But compared to this year, I think 2021 will be a better one. The biggest issue we faced this year is the corona virus but we all know that there are companies and countries that are already producing vaccines. Some are already giving it to their citizens. They're optimistic about it and so am I. I hope that the vaccine will be the end of the virus and I'm looking forward to a better new year.

If in relation to the Corona virus pandemic that people are thinking 2021 will not be good, they are just very wrong. The virus may not be fully eradicated that could lead to its extinction but the pandemic will become the thing of the past likely in 2021. The pandemic is likely reducing now and with more vaccines, the pandemic will be gone. I believe there will be increase in work force by next year in response to what the pandemic has caused in 2020 in which making 2021 to be good if there will be no another pandemic of another virus or something similar.

I also saw the same thing. We are sure that in 2021 the economy will return to health, seeing the decline in the world economy for 1 year making many countries and people deprived, I think governments around the world will work extra hard to restore economic conditions. because it concerns the lives of people all over the world

I think it will be the start of that positive economy. The vaccine as they said it is actually done but might not be ready still, there are a lot of medical companies already producing them to be used next year. That is a proof that it would be changing. Another thing is that a lot of countries are already creating their plans to regain their economy in the incoming year.

Most likely in 2021, this whole story with the virus will end, but an equally serious problem will come in the form of the global financial crisis. I am sure that in such conditions, the demand for cryptocurrency will grow every month, which will significantly affect the price. Today, more and more often you can see how cryptocurrency is mentioned more and more in the press and on the Internet, and this is only the beginning of the adoption of cryptocurrencies by the wide masses.

It doesn't mean the 2021 will be the same as like 2020. Things can be changed and already there has a position sign of getting a vaccine of Covid-19 already. This will change the whole thing. Economy will get stable again after the pandemic chapter ended. Hopefully the next year will be the better one.

With the vaccine on the horizon, it's doubtful that 2021 will be worse than 2020.  If things aren't already improving, we can at least see the light at the end of the tunnel and have a reasonable basis for believing that things will be improving soon.  If there was no vaccine ready for distribution, then perhaps you would have a better time convincing folks that 2021 could possibly be worse.

I agree, the upcoming global recession could possibly so imminent and crypto industry is the only industry can withstand these possible trying times. Although, we cannot make assumptions out of opinion hence the fact already stated - and its the people.

However, 2021 couldn't be much worst than 2020. 2020 is very bad that it even put the world into shock, dismayed and chaos. All sectors were hit not excluded a single person. Whether you are rich, poor, old, children everyone is affected. But what do we expect, if financial market will be hit - lost job, lost businesses and lost dreams.

All throughout this year, it brought us nothing but chaos which we begin to lived with all the hardships and uncertainties. No one really knows what 2021 will bring, but I am quite sure that its not that bad as you might think it is, knowing that there are lots of pharmaceuticals who found the cure and will releases the covid-19 vaccine to the market. Having found the cure is enough to give us more  strength and Hope for the coming year. Despite the fact that the virus will never be vanish totally, the vaccine will give us Light in the shade of darkness. We must keep our faith that we can eventually rise up as well as our economy in any places of the world. And that I strongly believe that the coming year will be full of possibilities, a fresh start for huge profits.

We couldn't be so sure about it Covid-19 vaccine has been found and they are saying that it have a high effectiveness so things might slowly go back to normal so we couldn't tell how will it be.

It is true every year technology upgrades and every gadgets are improving not only in our economy , i am guessing that 2021 will be good not only in digital currencies but for all of us since the vaccine will start distributing next year and they will start injecting it to people and will be defeat this virus so our economy will start again sooner or later and will be back into normal.

In bitcoin im guessing that it will be a good year for it tho, since it was failed into ATH even it broke the highest price but the trading is quite high nowadays and making profit everyday is good to support our financial needs everyday since businesses are close and removing such good employees and i am hoping that it will be good next year and will start our new life again.

Unfortunately I have to agree with this, the vaccine is going to solve one of our problems, a very important one without a doubt but not the crucial one, the pandemic has created an economic problem of which we have not seen before and governments have tried to solve that problem by printing currency, but now they have printed so much currency that it is becoming a problem in itself and it seems governments are going to try to fix that problem by printing even more currency which doesn't make a lot of sense.

The growth of Cryptocurrency will become more significant to the world because of pandemic. The development of online business, online transactions and other internet things will give a way for crypto industry to become more popular in the world. There are many businesses will rely in crypto as part of their transaction payment. In fact, the integration of paypal is a big key for bitcoin's popularity. By the end of this year, I hope all things will gone and face a new year with a new smile. Even we all facing the global financial crisis, famine and poverty in 2021 because of this pandemic. Let us all pray to have a better life after this pandemic.

See we are not into year 2021 we are still in 2020 and you have started predicting the future of 2021 which we know that is not possible, you would have alone to step in 2021 before saying all these things because it's very clear that each year determine how it's run or manage by the people who Governor it, so do not be much inquisitive concerning what will happen next year just alone it to end first.

The economies of several countries in the world are getting worse, if the vaccine is not distributed immediately in 2021 the economy
will be even worse. Because the government has begun to realize that printing money is not an effective way to restore the economy,
if it continues there will be hyperinflation. I believe the government is starting to see cryptocurrency as something good for restoring
the economy, and some countries are starting to tax cryptocurrencies. I agree that taxing cryptocurrencies will help the economy,
but the taxes imposed should not be too large. The government must be wise in making decisions.

2021 will be better or not depends on each region's condition its self. We can not discuse by generalize that something bad in the future will be happen in all region. because when Thread Stater said that nothing will be good beside bitcoin and crypto in 2021, but some countries are currently growing after surviving with corona. let us say China, china's economy are bouncing now and ready to be better for 2021 China's economy continues to bounce back from virus slump (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-54594877)

meanwhile the goverment of my country also successed to import the vaccine of the covid-19, so because of this i think my country will have more power to beat the virus and try to grow the economy.

I would say that 2021 could be better financially in the traditional markets if this pandemic passes. By all the looks of it the vaccines are out on the way, there were talks about 4 years and at best 2 years and right now after just one year we already have it, and to be frank we had "only" 1 million people dead this time around, compared to all pandemics in the world that killed so much of the population way back in the past, this one was mild compared to devastation they brought.

I would say people didn't expect to recover this quickly and one of the main reasons why we have managed to recover this quickly is science. Hopefully 2021 will be better, not just for our health, not just for traditional markets, but also for crypto at the same time as well.

It is true, we shouldn't take a pessimistic view after the success of the covid-19 vaccine. The economy won't recover after a year or two, but it should get better, especially the services and tourism industries. About bitcoin and digital currencies, the market is unstoppable this year, so there are definitely more breakthroughs next year. All predictions are just sentimental, expecting 2021 success.

I don't expect sectors such as tourism and air travel to recover in 2021. Vaccination is going to take a lot of time, and only after the majority of the world population is vaccinated, we can expect the tourist industry to start its recovery. Also, a lot of the potential tourists are facing financial crunch as a result of the pandemic, and they may be forced to shelve their vacation plans for 2021.

The tourism and the aviation industries are crumbling due to the pandemic there was news about a flight company that sacked 200 employees but people are still traveling and the tourism/aviation are operating their business but they have some certain covid 19 restrictions to follow which is what cut their profits. However, things will still change next year though the tourism and aviation setting may not recover completely but they will recover by 75% cause the governments as rendered help to them already.

I am not interested to predict anything what will happen, what should happen, how it can be, or why should happen this or that thing. We are human. We have one thing by ehich we live. Which is hope. We die to live a better life by just only one word which is hope. So in this situation we also have 1 word to say for 2021 is hope. Hopefully we can our 2021 will be slightly good than 2020. ???

Too pessimistic is not good, too optimistic also sometimes gives disappointment and major depression.  It's good for us to live 2021 with as realistic expectations as possible.  The economy will not be as bad as the OP imagined, but also not as beautiful as we imagined.  I even see the projection in 2021 that the world economy is in a transition period from critical.  Economic critical transition, where we have to both survive in our lives or we will die halfway.  The visible choice is Death or survive, if 2021 the country fails to rise then the next year will be a continuing economic disaster.

I hope that by 2021, all countries can rise, the economy and education can get better.
Cryptocurrencies can grow bigger.
Hopefully all countries can solve the current problem in 2021.

Going back to normal will still take long. However, other countries have been able to survive during the pandemic and they are now trying to revive their economy because others have returned to their jobs and reopened their business. I think education will still remain in online classes while the numbers of virus cases is still large.

I think cryptocurrency will not be the same in 2021 because the bull season is almost over that bitcoin and altcoins are falling their prices starting this week, but I still hope it is not yet over and will last long until Q1 of 2021.

I think those are two industries that will never fully recover from this, even if everyone was vaccinated tomorrow that is not going to solve the huge economic problems people have, many lost their jobs and those people cannot go on a vacation, while the rest see this and they prefer to not plan a vacation because they are afraid they will lose their jobs as well, and when you add the pandemic itself has changed people by making many of them to feel more comfortable at their home then this means that even if they have the money and they get the vaccine they will see no point in going in a vacation anymore.

In one of my article dated back to few months ago, I still remember vividly, stating the few dangers the world might encountered in the coming years. One of which is the world current state of economy. Even way before covid-19 surface, I never knew something like that could put the entire world on the run. Countries shutting down their economics, in ory to save the lives of the citizens. Because the lives of the citizens supercede that of the economy. One of the fact stated then was how the nation's of the earth should look inwardly on how they can be of help to each other by strengthen each others currencies. How will 2021 looks good when some countries has a hidden agenda to destroy other countries economy by weakening their currency. This alone put the whole at large. And with this I doubt it if 2021 will not be a repeat of the global economic meltdown.

We'll have the vaccine next year and that is 100% sure so why it is not a good year, this is the year that we will get up and we will wipe out the vaccine I don't see the logic why it will not go better than 2020, the economy will go back and we will have our freedom to breathe again so stay realistic we need to be more realistic.

Most probably 2nd quarter of the year we will fee full blown vaccine already implement across the globe. So that is a good sign that we are going back after that and could probably end 2021 with somewhat positive numbers in terms of recovery.

For crypto, its the much touted 4 year cycle, so we might see the price really going up and spikes in the range of $30,000 worst case scenario. So I would say that there are a lot of hopes for 2021, not just Bitcoin and crypto currency but the whole financial world.

we all work hard to live our lives well, even though many have lost their jobs and also lacked health care.  many people are still pessimistic in facing 2021 but we all have to believe that next year will definitely be much better than now.  Several countries have implemented policies and also in their best diplomacy and one of the good news for European citizens is that the European Central Bank will provide economic stimulus funds to Eurozone countries (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/10/business/european-central-bank-stimulus-coronavirus.html).  all of us will be able to get through these hardships..

Economy go lowest?? You're not sure too about it and we have seen the lowest of the economy already during the start of the pandemic.

I'm not pretty sure about it though but my prediction is that 2021 will be a year of recovery and I know that some analysts think like that too. One word that will make the world better in 2021. VACCINE. A vaccine that can be distributed worldwide will be the key for the continuous recovery of the countries. A vaccine is all we need in order for the virus to be controlled.

2021 will not be as bad as 2020. I believe the economy will be affected and it's normal that it will due to lockdowns and the pandemic but overall, I fear the situation for countries like Yemen where people are not financially stable. Since most services are available online now, it's been beneficial for people to start using the internet more and rely on it and for cryptocurrency, this has proved beneficial as seen in the price currently. It will take time for things to get normal.

Everyone has learned how to adjust despite the pandemic situation that we have right now. Even our economy is starting to get better so I think 2021will be a good start for us. We learned how to cope up with the changes caused by the pandemic so we'll surely move forward this time. Even without the vaccine, I could say that our economy is starting to rise again so let's just all be positive and hope for a better year.

Why you say next year 2021 bitcoin and other cryptocurrency not good move I don't understand why you say that. I see very bull run waiting upcoming year 2021 bitcoin and other crypto. Now crypto market condition so good

Literally he assumed that the current pandemic would cause great disturbance on the economic world wide. In a sense the thread starter would a have a good point but at first if it is on the start on the pandemic but after some time passes it would be the other way around since we already adapt to the issues on hand thus we are regaining what is lost since we are doing some patch up to fix those problems.

If you observed, the OP is creating topics that are not very sharp in my opinion. So I don't know his motives why he keeps on posting such topics, to engage discussion from the community or just want say something stupid.  :P We are not yet out of the woods because of this pandemic, and yet things are looking good already, in crypto or outside crypto. Pharma industries are starting to rollout the vaccine by next year and we are experiencing more crypto adoption via by big companies which are including crypto in their payment system. So I don't know why the OP is being pessimistic here?

Everyone believes that there will be a huge bull rally in 2021 and a lot of the whales have started accumulating coins. And this is what makes me nervous. If something goes wrong, then we may witness a massive dump of coins in the open market, and this can take Bitcoin back to four-digits. And this has happened many times before in the cryptocurrency market.

I don't agree with this, nor will they sell their coins for no reason.  Next year bitcoin will continue to rise like this year because after paypal visa and mastercard there are still many other big companies that will also adapt to cryptocurrency.  I think that way they will keep their coins.  If there is a decline, it could be a price correction.

With the rise of bitcoin prices, it now looks like 2021 will be a good year for cryptocurrencies. Economic activities of all countries of the world are stopped for quarantine. What you don't see after that is that production is now active. Commodity prices will rise, the economy will collapse but nothing will stop. It's too late for the situation you're thinking about.

Don't take OP serious, probably just looking for cheap attention I feel 2021 will be better not because vaccine will be available but because countries will be prepared for the worst.
Why most of the countries where hit by this pandemic spread was because they weren't prepared especially the underdeveloped countries, there were shortage of kits and other resources needed that weren't budget down but by 2021,i believe we will all be prepared for the worst and plan properly.

PS: many are yet to take this vaccination, you don't want your family to be a test object to political gain so do everyone.

When it comes to vaccine matters then i wont really be tending to be a test subject even if they do say that those shots were already been testified.Im much aware on the possibilities
of new drugs or vaccines that had been made.I would just observe for a period of time and find out if there were no problems that do arise on this one.
It isnt really that bad to presume out on what would happen on next year and just like on what we had those words where 2019 ended yet most people do say
that 2020 would really be a better year and look at on where we are now? At least we are sustaining and letting ourselves to withstand this very difficult
and challenging situation.

Definitely. 2020 has not been that good to us so for 2021, I'm looking forward to a better situation. Like you have said, we already know how to handle the situation and besides, there is already a vaccine developed and is already tried in some countries. Hopefully, it will have good results in the long run so that we can say that we're nearing the light at the end of the tunnel. The effects of the pandemic might stay for a long while but let's not jump to conclusions that the approaching year is bad. Let's think positive.

Keep your expectations low, and you won't be disappointed. So far in 2020, the Bitcoin prices have rallied by almost 100%. Ethereum has risen by 400%. Now you can't expect the same thing to happen year after year. At some point, there will be profit booking from the part of the cryptocurrency users and that will result in corrections. But in the long term, we can expect the prices to go upward.

In this pandemic situation, we must be optimistic and everything will be completed on time and the government does not remain silent in the current pandemic situation and the economy is not good and there is nothing wrong with trusting and leaving it to the more experts.
There is a possibility that 2021 will be better in every way, and for bitcoin I think 2021 will continue to gradually increase to reach the highest price and hopefully.

The situation with the pandemic may change dramatically within the first half of the year, as some countries have already begun to vaccinate their citizens. In any case, this will have a positive effect on economic growth and proper business development. I don't want this situation to negatively affect cryptocurrency rates, but even today the psychological mark of Bitcoin at 20,000 is very difficult to achieve.

Well i think the result of the pandemic well take place on the next year 2021, I believe that there are a lot of changes that may happen because of the health crisis. The fact that the people are now like a prisoner and cannot do or perform any business or work maybe financial problem will hit everyone in the next few months fom now. Even if the vaccines are on way but still the economy will not recover emediately so we need to motivate our self and believe that we can stand or heal as one.

Optimism must be accompanied by effort. We are optimistic that 2021 will be a better year but as a society we are not trying to make it happen. How can we have a beautiful next year if this year we don't try to be better. Example. This pandemic could end if all of the people agreed to comply with very strict health protocols, but the fact is not so many are still very negligent. Are we still worth being too optimistic about for the future?

I really hope so,... 2020 is really toxic ever since, we already know what will happen during Dec 2019 and still here we are fixing the economy.
I really do wanna know if we're be able to expect something better on 2021.

---

Most of the things around us changed this year, and to summarize, humanity is being test once again.
Feeling sick of these kind of situation. So yeah,... nmv.

We've seen the worst in 2020, that's because no one knew that there will be a virus outbreak with long months of no vaccine, now things are way better and 2021 is definitely going to be a year of hope for everybody, the worst have already happened and we survived it, let's start having a positive mind for the coming new year, all the best

We haven't experienced any worst situation with bitcoin. People suffered out of the pandemic that made the entire world shut down for a much longer time period. By the time Bitcoin grew high overcoming the world economy destruction. Myself satisfied with the growth of bitcoin, unexpected covid-19 made a big change in everyone's life.

Right, 2020 sucks in different manners, but good for crypto.

Seeing other countries to be full virus free makes me personally happy but also scared. It feels like interacting with others personally without protective gears is not normal anymore. I best hope for 2021 that we came back to our previous normal self without fearing for the virus to infect us. And another thing, It would be best if the vaccine will be explained more on how it works, the process behind it, etc. for us to welcomed it completely. This can even help the economy to recover and move its pace faster.

I agree that 2021 is not looking good, but this is opening some opportunities for us too.

House prices could go down. You may be able to buy existing business cheap, etc. So it's not that bad after all :)

After looking at the current rally, it now looks as of Bitcoin may end up at $25K-$30K by the end of this year. There is a supply crunch and this should take Bitcoin to much higher levels in 2021. But we should expect multiple phases of correction, in which the prices can go below $20,000 per coin once again. If you stay away from panic selling at this point, then you should be safe.

I could see it reaching 30k at the end of the year with economic recoveries from numerous countries due to the COVID vaccine roll out. But as with 2017, I'm afraid of the bubble burst that usually happens when the prices grows exponentially. You can pull up the price charts for Bitcoin and literally every year there's been a massive collapse in price after the FOMO bandwagon hops in which staggers the growth.

This isn't an issue for anyone that's holding obviously unless they plan to sell soon, but I'm fearing some dumb fucks hopping on the train will eventually cause it to crash again.

We'll see...

30k i believe is too much for this year but anything can happen, right? and if the OP will revisit his thread today, for sure, he will change his mind about the future, not only in crypto or btc but in general.
 as covid vaccines are already in the deployment stage, this will definitely have economic impact to most countries. time to contain the virus and move forward...
so this coming year, is actually looking good not only in crypto but to the global population. this year, we experienced a global hit, where almost everything had to stopped for a while. its like someone pressed a restart button somewhere, but humanity will strive from this challenge, we always will...

I think it is too early to claim 2021 will be not really good. Moreover, you state only Bitcoin and cryptocurrency having a good future in 2021. We don't know what to happen in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in 2021. Even if many people predict the bullish trends will continue in 2021, but who knows the fact. Also, a bad year in 2021 shouldn't be expected by all people around the world. I am pretty sure all dream a better life in the next year, especially the solution of Covid-19 and the improvement of the world economy.

I also think that 30 thousand dollars for bitcoin this year looks too much, although previous history in this area already teaches that nothing is impossible and nothing should be surprised. you should always expect the arrival of black swans, but it seems that next year will not be so terrible and the world's economy will really start to move away from the pandemic. But to do this, it is absolutely necessary that the governments of the states do not calm down the decline of the epidemic in the summer and by next autumn have established mass vaccination of the population in the run-up to the winter season.

I Think 51k.   2021 year*

After the past 24 hours, I find 2021 looking better than ever :D
New ATH, stable markets, good perspectives - what else should we want!

IMO we will see Bitcoin at $30 000+ and Ether at $1000+

That ATH really made my day good. And if it continues that way until the beginning of 2021, then my day is not only good but my year as well.  ;D
We may not like 2020 that much because of all the things that happened, but it's not that bad as well. We're experiencing another history in bitcoin and that's something we'll remember this year. Hopefully, 2021 will be much better. Not only in crypto but also in the other aspects of our lives.

I hope what you say will come true. Looking forward to the time that it'll happen.

Its been I came and check this particular topic, he was just too speculative without some analysis especially the technical and fundamental.
Look at what bitcoin has been doing the past weeks, healthy growth upon growth and it's not even looking back.
What I find funny from this his prediction is he could have warned every one about covid-19 but sadly, no one could see it until the damage is already done with the market.

If this bullish market will continue to show in 2021, then probably we will see another major adoption in the market, the institutional money as they say. However, we can't deny that the pandemic is still affecting the people, massive adoption won't happen if people are losing their job TBH.

In terms of cryptocurrency market, the 2021 is looking gppd because bitcoin are continuing to make its all time high and there are a lot of altcoins that are breaking their major resistances but in terms of physical economy; I have doubts because there are now a lot of countries that are closing their borders again because of the new strains of the virus. The UK already did some lockdown and a lot of businesses are affected and also the transportation system in their country. There are now a lot of rumors that there will be a lockdown also that will happen in my country and there are now a lot of people who are worrying on how they will survive their everyday problems.

If we are judging this upcoming year strictly from Covid 19 then 2021 is not looking very good since the Coronavirus does not look like it will be slowing down anytime soon.

I have now even read how there is going to be a newer Coronavirus (please help us all if this is true.)  We can expect there to be more deaths around the world and more people struggling to put food on the plate.

On other hand if we are here to discuss Crypto in the new year I think we are in for good news since I believe this Bull run will continue to next year at least.  There is nothing to prove otherwise so I will continue to hodl and hope for better financial times as we wait to see what happens with Covid 19 and the new vaccines they are talking about.

Some experts believe that after the end of the pandemic, people will become hedonists, actively have sex and enjoy life. 

However, it is possible that the world's elites are pursuing other goals.  It is possible that the main goal is to disunite people, deprive them of civil rights and freedom of movement, as well as reduce the living standards of people. 

Why do the world elites need it? 

The digital transformation of society is capable of simultaneously solving all environmental problems and ensuring a quick transition to a new social system (digital feudalism). 

People will receive an unconditional basic income in exchange for giving up all civil rights.  The world's elites will remain in power.

Sounds great LOL,this is the statement each crypto users wanted to hear.

But Hope that everything will be Good and not only Bitcoin and crypto because the world is composed not only by crypto but of many things.

We should not be Happy while others are in bad condition.

I don't understand so either. I strive in 2021 will be good for us. The pandemic commenced in 2020 and we have had a terrible moment. Instantly by the edge of 2020, the vaccine will be accessible in practically all countries. It is better to hope without despair. What's wrong to hope!!!

There's nothing wrong with having hope. Actually, it's what keeps us moving despite all the struggle that we're facing. It's just that, OP has a different feeling about how things will go next year.

As for me, I'm also full of hope. Let's claim already that 2021 will be good to bitcoin and crypto but let's also look forward to better days. We've been so down this year especially because of the pandemic but let's hold on to the faith that 2021 will be the year for redemption. Law of attraction also works guys. ;)

We already know what the enemy (covid-19) looks like and that's why 2020 is a very bad year but in 2021 even if another big cases of covid rise it's not going to be like what weve experienced because we can now be more prepared compared to when things happened out of no where without any preparations

2021 is going to be very tough for all the nations .The economy will “get worse before it gets better” due to coronavirus spread. Unemployment problem will rise in 2021.

Because there were be other various lockdowns everywhere. And that's highly possible to happen with the situation that this pandemic has brought. The new strain named B117 will bring another fear to the people and will much affect the economies.
We're like to be in another batch of waves for more positive cases as it hints in the news.
UK Variant Of Coronavirus Has Traveled To Over A Dozen Countries (https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2020/12/26/uk-variant-of-coronavirus-has-traveled-to-over-a-dozen-countries/)
Where the UK coronavirus strain B117 has spread to around the world (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-27/where-has-the-uk-coronavirus-strain-spread-to-around-the-world/13016410)

2020 unemployment has also increased greatly, this has become an impact of the pandemic,
we are entering a bad era, because the pandemic changes everything, everything is very difficult to do,
especially about jobs, not everyone can get a job in this pandemic.

We wont really able to know on what would happen into upcoming years to come or simply in future thats why as a employee you should always consider on
saving up money for emergency because you wouldnt know on what would happen next thats why saving up money will really save up your ass.
Dont make out those unwise spendings on things that you wouldnt need. Save and accumulate while you can because this kind of behavior
did really save me in this time of pandemic even though it isnt really that big but at least i do make myself sustain.

Tips about saving money will continue to be relevant in 2021, because the full recovery of the economy next year is out of the question and the pandemic will continue to be the main factor that has a major impact on all processes. The economic recovery will contribute to the creation of new and restoration of old jobs, but this can only be discussed when quarantine measures are curtailed and not re-introduced, but no one knows what black swan can fly again, as for example, the identification of a new more contagious mutation of the coronavirus in the UK and other countries.

I do not think 2021 will be worse than this year. This year's pandemic caught us almost by surprise and we've been doing everything to get over it. I believe next year will be better off because that's when we'll get the vaccine they've been working on all the time.
What we need now isn't pessimism but optimism. Hope that there is better tomorrow for us.
For the crypto community, 2021 will be better off. The price will of bitcoin will generally continue to soar even though there might be corrections here and there all the time but I believe over time, it is going to soar.

Not really. We still don't know a lot about this virus and how they mutate. The new strains looks deadly, yet we don't know how much more transmissible it is going to be. We are not prepared at all. Instead people are going crazy. They don't want any more restriction. Put more restriction and you will see how people starts to go all violent. Sadly, most of them don't understand the dangers of it. Nothing has changed. It is all the same and it is going to be the same until mass immunization takes place.

Now itself people have started to correlate the economy along with the new form of corona virus. This means, people have started to think much about the future prospects.

People have suffered much during the initial days of pandemic. Now slowly the market is recovering, on the other side something new affecting the growth is really hard to accept. Based on this facts it is good to think of the present and live with peace than expecting big for the future.

Indications are that the COVID 19 situation is getting worse. The more contagious strain of the virus (which was first reported from the United Kingdom) has now spread to more than a dozen countries and the full impact of this will be visible within the next few months. I expect 2021 to be worse than 2020, with more infections and deaths. And we can expect another economic recession as well and the stock markets may crash to record lows.

Why it would be next year?

It should be this year where the pandemic is still the main problem. Right now, the vaccine is the problem and the virus is slowly going down as people and medical institute adapted to what is happening. The unemployment problem you are saying already happened and I don't think next year would be that of a problem that you think.

Vaccine has been found but mutant Coronavirus strain found in UK and it is more dangerous. The forecast for a bleak 2021 is understandable, it is not fortune telling. I think the bad situation will last for a few years.

Agreeable since this COVID pandemic causes the increase in unemployment because several businesses gone on bankrupt or not doing good as of late forcing them to close and leave the employees at peril not having a new work. This is a worldwide crisis and it is very difficult for everyone to regain what is lost.

Due to the second wave of coronavirus, many people will lose their jobs, due to most of the companies deducting their expenses due to huge loos during the pandemic. In some countries we are hearing still, they are following lockdown procedure in order to control the spreading of the virus. The economy of the countries will get worse and 2021 will also be very tough.

We see forward to 2021 as the widespread will conclusion before long as they discharge antibody around the most effected countries which is nice pfizer is making a difference individuals to overcome this covid , as we see forward our economy will rise up with fiat cash visitor spot and other trade and companies will open sooner or afterward. World Bank will not print a few cash without any reason unless one nation will inquire for it to dump cart some money to construct up their economy once more. And we are going back in businesses before long and let's all trust that 2021 will be awesome and blessing.

So far 2021 is doing pretty fine. In my opinion we shouldn't be too pessimistic about the future. Alt Coins and Bitcoins are both rallying, the corona pandemic will likely be contained in the next months with the vaccine. In my opinion 2021 is going to be they year of the recovery.

I know right. Few days after the beginning of 2021, things are still looking good particularly when it comes to crypto like bitcoin, and the pandemic. With the former, the price is continuing to increase. With the latter, the vaccines will surely be available for the public sooner or later. When that happens, let us hope that it will be the end of the health crisis. Let's also pray that 2021 will be a better year and not just a mere continuation of 2020 and it's negativities.

Perhaps the crypto community is not feeling the effects of the pandemic crisis because they can use their skills in managing their digital assets.

But what about those who depend on a job and are blocked by the second wave of Covid19 infections?

As long as this crisis exists, the world will be wanting to get out of this bad moment because life is limited in all aspects. The quality of life is not full and even worse, life is in danger.

It is the time period where people got an opportunity to learn about bitcoin and started using it. The virus attack happened globally, and the same hadn't made any disturbance over the cryptocurrency market. This is where the growth progressed slowly when more people started to explore and new institutional money flow happened over bitcoin in particular. The ongoing year is quite good and more growth is being expected from experts point of view.

I guess when the OP revisits his thread, he will change his perspectives.
This thread was created last Nov, in which btc price was about $18k.
And we already increase by about 225%. What more can he ask from this?
And the adoption of crypto is going stronger day by day.
This year is actually looking good as we combat also the covid virus by vaccine roll-out across the globe.

Well, this is possible specially that there are new viruses mutate all the time which is they called it coronavirus variant and it's vital to keep a laser focus on whether the virus' behavior is changing. The previous Covid virus really affected the world economy so how much more if this new various can't be controlled, thanks to the New Vaccines in which it will might stop the virus of spreading and thanks to the Bitcoin rally as it gives hopes to Crypto for this year.

We can do this, we have face this virus, it's the same virus and I'm sure our experts are already making ways to make a vaccine for this. The reason why the economy fall is because of the fear, and I believe at this stage, we are already ready to combat this virus either through protocol or vaccine.

People are adopting this new normal setup, Corona might stay for a  while no one knows how long it will take as even vaccines are now available news has been forecast that another mutated virus are now spreading. it's still possible that this virus may infect more people and still weaken countries economy, though even there are many economy that being triggered crypto market still gaining interest from more institutional investors, giving this market a good rise and continues pump.

I don't think using crypto world has a basis for  judging how the economy will fare is good. The Central bank will put in  good measures to print in more money if that will help the economy or not. From my own view 2021 will be a great year

In my opinion the output of the widespread well take put on the following year 2021, I accept that there are a part of changes that will happen since of the wellbeing emergency. The reality that the individuals are presently like a detainee and cannot do or perform any commerce or work possibly financial problem will hit everybody within the following few months form presently. Indeed on the off chance that the immunizations are on way but still the economy will not recoup immediately so we got to propel our self and accept that we are able stand and move on.

For covid-19 many people lose their job.Afer that period end i think all problem will be solved and i think in 2021 we will see many chnages in our economy.

Starting 2021 is not really good because we still suffer the pandemic that happens in 2019. But in cryptocurrencies the start of 2021 for the BTC is really good and this is very big help to us especially need this support some of us have lost our jobs like me.It is not easy to back again in normal but someday i know all these problems will end soon.

2021 has recently started, so it's too early to make any predictions.I still hope this year will be much better than the last one. The guy was right about one thing

And why did you decide that everything had to change in 2021?
2021 is a continuation of 2020, and all the problems that surfaced in 2020 have their causes. And until we understand these reasons, there is no point in expecting that tomorrow will change.

what if...

Indeed, we're just starting IMO, 2020 is something like a trailer to me, haven't  you realize there are much worst cases from Nov and Dec. so basically it won't  just end like that ...

Maybe I agree about that, but whatever the problem is, there will always be a recovery so that at worst an economy will always have a turnaround. Every year it will not always run smoothly because there will always be moments where natural disasters occur and / or whatever damage occurs in a sector and that cannot be avoided, so I think every year it will always be the same only sometimes the fall of the existing problem might get worse, and I agree in early 2021 it happened.

The whole problem is when this very reversal will come and how long this fall can continue. It is also possible that the reversal will be replaced by falls several times. In 2021, everything depends on the pace of vaccination and how vaccination will affect the spread of the epidemic. Last year, at the very beginning of the epidemic, many experts argued that the epidemic will come to naught by the summer and by the end of the year everyone will forget it as a terrible dream, but as we see this dream continues and continues.

But the covid vaccine are already starting to deploy in various countries. So maybe at the middle of this year, a large percentage of the population has already gotten their covid vaccine shot. And that will give at least peace of mind to some people. We are slowly going back to normal but right now, as much as possible, just follow strict health protocols in your area. There's no harm in following, right? Better be safe than sorry.

And what will be the attractiveness of cryptocurrency, if the share of the working population falls, the burden on budgets grows, incomes of the population fall, the purchasing power of the population will also decrease. But there will be no inflationary projects. What, in your opinion, will lead to increased interest in cryptocurrencies?

It's hard to predict what 2021 will be. On one hand, the coronavirus has undergone several major mutations, maybe new mutations will emerge later. On the other, Covid vaccines are undergoing clinical trials.

We are in the year 2021 and we are in the first months and we do not sure if this year is good or bad to us because we need to wait more months to know what happen. They have a lot of problems of the world the economies are down because of the pandemic happen most of the country in the world. But in the crypto world the starts of the year of 2021 is really good because bitcoin reach 40k dollars when 2021 came.

This is a temporary phenomenon ... and very soon everything will change (I suppose in 3-4 weeks). Crypto Fear & Greed Index breaks records, and at this stage I would be rather skeptical about buying Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency. Already, the re-uptrend has ended with a lower high, which means we are heading lower, and if your views on Bitcoin are not religious beliefs, leave now ... (I believe the $42k price tag will be an insurmountable peak for the next 2-3 years).

I agree on that i think year 2021 is a great year for everyone, if the vaccination happens economy will recover  because people can slowly go back to the normal way of living without any fair at all. But for now we still need to be careful beause of the new variant of covid. We still need to be more safe and follow guidelines to avoid problems.

I wish that there is no country that keep print money regardless the amount of gold, but it seems that it is impossible. That's why I really like to invest in bitcoin. If 2021 is not be better than 2020 than probably some countries will do anything to secure their economy. I personally think that 2021 will not much different with 2020, we need to win fight against this pandemic first so we can move forward.

somehow , i totally agree , many many speculator around this world saying this year, stock will be doomed , economic will more worst than last year , even some from them dare to say this year will be more worst than great depression, dollars getting lower and lower, but why gold doesn't up ? the answer will come on the april .

Yes, it is true, printing more money according to the need is not always a good sign because it creates money flow though but not increase the money ratio to the proportion of the population. Over all, the economy become fragile, this is not only for the printing money. There are more factors here and printing money is one of them.

Corona virus is also not blessing for us and still economy can't open properly due to this. Factory can't run like before.

After all, 2021 is not looking good so dar but things can be changed anytime, any moment.

I have heard about the vaccine for the Covid-19 pandemic, but the situation is not very positive because the test results have yet to make me feel satisfied and unsafe, besides, the pandemic is not yet stable as other variants of Covid are appearing, many people have death and underemployment are happening, combining issues revolving around the president of the United States, a leading economic nation, he has yet to come up with a solution to stimulate the economy. The only consolation I feel in 2021 is probably that bitcoin has been very stimulated, today is a great day for holders

With the price of bitcoin skyrocketing today, I have been relieved of the economic troubles of this pandemic.

When we talk about the prospects for the economy in 2021, we do not have to count on a full recovery, but only express a timid hope that the world economy will only get on the path of recovery at best. Therefore, when it is said that 2021 does not look good, it is worth making some clarification that the year is not good compared to the pre-pandemic ones. As for the comparison with 2020, there is hope that 2021 will be better.

During the the past year many people have lose hope because of this pandemic. People needs to adopt the new situation otherwise, they can't survived the challenging year. True the economy is struggling and can't help the poor because of no revenue. But with this year 2021 comes, in order to bring good in return, you must attract positivity in life. And seeing the current situation in crypto currency brings good motivation to people with the price of bitcoin is reached at high price.

The start of 2021 is pretty good actually in terms of Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies value. It’s just that when it was around November, no one would’ve thought Elon Musk bought a huge amount of Bitcoin worth and had tweeted about cryptocurrencies.

I dont think so mate. 2021 might be hard but for me its got to be a bounce back year. It should be the year where economies tragically hit by pandemic would be going strong. Most government are acquiring vaccines that would help ease the transmission and most likely to immune the general public.

Hundreds of theories in chats about what will happen next, this is the altseason or not the altseason, whether there will be a dump or eternal growth.

My opinion is simple - I don't know what will happen in the future, I saw how the markets turned on the positive and grew on the negative, I saw the opposite, any changes. The only working strategy that has justified itself is to fix the x profit (to take the initial investment) and withdraw small portions from the market, making 1, 2 or 3 spare deposits for yourself in case of a total dump. This, of course, reduces the total profit, because retroactively you can endlessly recalculate these numbers, but on the other hand, it makes it easier to follow the trend and not lose focus on important things (for example, key ICO ideas, which, unlike trade positions, can make a real game change with a deposit ).

at a time when the world economy is in decline, printing too much money is bad for the country, because of the imbalance between state income and expenditure. inflation will haunt countries that print too much money and aim to restore the economy. I think the best way for the country is to slowly restore the trade economy sector, although it looks slow but can run consistently.
besides that, bitcoin and cryptocurrency can be an option for people to multiply money when the world economy is experiencing difficulties.

Lol, i refuse to believe that 2021 will not be good. I am a big fan and believer of the saying that "it only gets better" so it will only get better. 2020 was not so much a good year to some and very good to others. This year will be good for me because I am fairly very optimistic about it regardless.

The OP was mentioning about the general economy, and not about the cryptocurrencies. Obviously 2021 is going to be a great year for cryptocurrencies, and I am expecting BTC to move beyond six digits by the end of this year. But the economy is not looking good. Central banks are printing banknotes like crazy, and at least some of the governments are making moves towards wealth confiscation (similar to what we had in Cyprus back in 2013, when citizens lost around 80% of their bank deposits).

Is too early to conclude 2021 negatively, because of what is happening around our country economy. According to some researcher who really view 2021 future, confessed it to people that this year will be the best year, we have never experience before in our countries.
Not only cryptocurrencies will look good in this season we are, many countries economy is about to improve as never before because the government is doing everything possible to fix
the economy that covid-19 has collapsed for the citizens to start experiencing positive economy in the country.

Government increment each thing's value everything become more costly.
If the pandemic got disappeared, at that point, everything becomes back to typical.
Additionally, there are many possibilities that next year improve bitcoin's price more so for me next year will be good for us.

I fully agree with you. All we need for 2021 to be a good year is to finally end the global pandemic. Once we reach vaccination rates of more than 60% all these lockdowns should finally be lifted. And as long as the bitcoin prices is so high we are doing fine in my opinion.

I agree with your point. It is not very bad in 2021. Data have shown that different fields have taken back their momentum. Moreover, it has been witnessed that the Covid infection has slow down recently. In the future, we will also have a vaccination which I believe that can protect people from this dangerous disease.

Rejoice

From November 2020 you could predict 2021 based on what? Anyways we are here now and I would say 2021 is better now that 2020 cos even in terms of the pandemic and also in crypto. Vaccines have been developed and administered and in crypto, the price of Bitcoin as tested another ATH and most Economies are actually recording positivity. I believe this will continue will continue going forward into 2021.

Always expect a good thing. Compare 2021 with 2020, and you'll discover that last year was the most exceedingly awful ever in our lives. All the business goes down, numerous individuals got slaughtered because of the pandemic, and vast numbers of us lose our employment. Tragically, I lose my job yet because of the bitcoins who never let me down in terms of financial state. Anyways next year will surely bring some improvement, and on the top vaccine may come out next year, so we'll easily defeat the covid-19 pandemic.

Based on what will saw in 2020, show that this year 2021 will be more better than last year in the areas of economy. Many countries are ready to inform their central bank to do everything possible to print huge amount of money that will make the citizens to experience positive change in the country. All the requirements the government need to improve the economy in the country are ready, to show that this year economy will be the best economy in the country.

In early quarter of this year 2021, we can tell that it is a good start for us crypto users, especially those bitcoin holders becaue the price of btc jumps to high this early quarter. This topic was posted last 2020 where the most of countries' economy due to pandemic, and in this year 2021, the pandemic still continue but the opportunity to earn using cryptocurrencies is really good.

Yes, its because of covid 19 pandemic that why world economy are not going good, maybe it the beggining of famine and poverty and the fulfilment of what the bible says about the last day.

Hope the world economy problem doesn't affect the crypto currency market.

Yeah true, that's why 2021 i started to invest on more crypto. too late. but better than never. Here's hoping for ETH and BNB to raise even more.

That's not the case because in 2020 there was so much lockdown and financial crisis all over the world. Now that the world is moving back to normal to some extent, the stocks, forex and crypto market is recovering. However the best returns will be in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Apart from the crash that lasted for a few weeks in April-May 2020, the stock market was mostly unaffected by the pandemic. Actually the stock market indices are higher now when compared to the pre-pandemic levels. Organized formal economy was not much harmed during the pandemic (apart from tourism, hospitality, restaurants.etc). It was the unorganized and informal sector which got hammered. People were doing most of their shopping and service bookings through online platforms and this destroyed the informal sector. And even when the pandemic is over, I don't think that informal economy will be able to grow back to the previous market share.

Things are not looking good since the beginning of the pandemic.The economy has suffered enough last year many businesses shut down and people lose their jobs.We have yet to be back to normal in 2021 but some things have quiet improve unlike last year and I am very optimistic that we are on our way back to normal and this year will surely look good for all.

The problem is, the vaccine doesn't fix the problem. At the moment, given the variability of the virus, the appearance of mutations, the vaccine will not give massive immunity. And it will be very good if in the next 2-3 years a set of vaccines is developed that will "block" most of the mutations, and only then the pandemic will stop .... And only then it will be possible to talk about the restoration of the global and local economies. Therefore, to our great regret, we need to prepare for a few more years to live in the same conditions as today, if a miracle does not happen. Good health to all!

The mutations won't necessarily be the problem. At first, I thought so too, because it's logical - how can you protect against something, that's constantly changing? But then I thought more deeply about how this vaccine works and about coronavirus structure and came to a promising conclusion.

The vaccine works to stimulate the immune system, more precisely - the production of IgG (specific antibodies) against the S-protein. What's important to understand is that antibodies, that are produced during the immune response are polyclonal, which means that there are different antibodies that bind to various regions of the S-protein.

Say, some mutations take place, but they happen locally and can lead to changes only in some parts of the protein, while other regions will remain as they were, which means that there still will be antibodies, that can attack the S-protein.

Now, in the worst-case scenario, the mutations will be so frequent and severe, that they will change the structure of the S-protein completely. But now let's remember, that S-protein is the very protein, that is necessary for binding to receptors on the cells in order to penetrate them. Therefore, if the S-protein changes too much - the virus won't be able to penetrate the cells and, therefore, won't cause any harm.

Conclusion: mutations either won't be too serious and the immune response received from the vaccine will work, or they will cause too many changes in the structure, due to which the virus won't be able to attack the human organism anymore.

So not to worry, it's going to be alright  ;)
