I'm still looking at how hard it is to grow in value.  As soon as the price rises a little, some problems and obstacles start immediately and the price invariably falls.  However, according to forecasts, the price of bitcoin could rise to at least $ 100,000 next year due to the latest halving.  I don't consider them real yet.  It took bitcoin three years to get back to $ 20,000.  How many years will it take for it to grow to at least $ 50,000?  While this is all pretty complicated.  At the same time, it should also be borne in mind that in the future, states will tighten the measures for regulating cryptocurrency.

DeFi projects are just a new direction in cryptocurrency development.  It must be further developed and deepened.  There is still a lot of practical work to be done in order for individual projects to bring additional conveniences to people and be in demand.  Of course, this is new in the world of finance, but it would be wrong to call it a revolution, if only because a relatively small number of people will use DeFi services.  In any case, it takes a lot of time to attract people's attention to them.  As always in such cases, scammers want to take advantage of all the new ones.  Therefore, along with good projects, as always, there will be fake ones.

Unprecedented measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic are leading to a drop in gross domestic income, an increase in unemployment and an increase in poverty in almost all countries.  All this causes an increase in inflationary processes.  We have been saying for a long time that this could trigger a very severe global economic crisis.  Government spending on the fight against coronavirus continues to increase.  It would be logical if people, fleeing inflation and poverty, would invest in cryptocurrency.  Therefore, the coronavirus pandemic, while increasing the poverty of the population, on the other hand, should positively affect the growth of cryptocurrency liquidity.

Yes, bitcoin and other decentralized cryptocurrencies cannot replace the national currencies of states.  The price of bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general will rise, this is also true.  However, the influence of cryptocurrency will grow only up to a certain point, namely until the interests of states are affected.  If the increase in the influence of decentralized cryptocurrency interferes with the states, they will tighten regulatory measures and here it will be necessary to look for the best options for getting out of the conflict situation.

States will independently create their own national stablecoins of the central banks or ask for the help of relevant specialists from other countries.  At the same time, it makes no sense for them to apply a system of borrowing funds, such as ICO, IEO and others.  This will be purely the work of the relevant government bodies of governments.  Therefore, there will be no forks or free coins.  Governments can only give out stablecoins when testing their stablecoins for free so that citizens can connect to testing, as was the case recently in China.

DeFi projects can distract some of the clients of traditional banks.  However, banks are still not going anywhere, since they perform many other useful functions and, most importantly, they are supported by the state.  And a significant part of citizens will traditionally trust more state banks, which are protected by the state.  DeFi projects take a lot of work and time to gain the trust of citizens.

I personally cannot even imagine our world without the national currency of states.  To have an idea of ​​the value of a cryptocurrency, it must be compared with the value of objects in the world around us.  If there is no dollar, euro, pound and other currencies, how will we express the price of bitcoin?  We'll have to then in cows, horses and so on.  For example, one bitcoin will cost 10 cows or 7 horses.  However, after a few hours or even minutes, bitcoin may already be worth 10.2 cows or ten cows and one rabbit.  What if you don't need cows and rabbits?  You can, of course, evaluate everything in ounces of gold.  However, then it is necessary for gold to really go.  And in order not to constantly carry it around with you, they will again come up with safe and promissory notes, which will lead to their highest form - paper money.  Want to reinvent the wheel?  Or do you think that all previous generations of people were stupider than us?  Therefore, cryptocurrency can only be traded with the currency of states.

The real situation should not be so neglected.  Banks and governments are not going anywhere.  Cryptocurrency will never dominate the financial world.  Now almost every cryptocurrency is global, since it has the ability to go around the world.  However, at the state level, the cryptocurrency will not be used as a global one.  They will have their own central bank stablecoins, various regional stablecoins.  A global single currency can hardly be expected, since large states will always fight for spheres of economic influence and wage trade wars among themselves.

States have yet to make a general decision on how to stop Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.  We are still not going anywhere from taxing income in cryptocurrency.  However, the rates of such taxation can be so high that then it will be unprofitable to engage in cryptocurrency and people simply will not pay.  This, in turn, will allow states to decide on a complete ban on cryptocurrencies.  We do not need such a confrontation and it will be much better if a reasonable compromise is found.

However, we expected reasonable regulation of the circulation of cryptocurrency, and not a complete ban on citizens from owning cryptocurrency wallets.  I don't know who came up with it at all to prohibit people from using cryptocurrency wallets.  It is very bad if a decision on this is made at the next summit of the G7 countries.  Even if this is not feasible on the part of states, however, it is still not good, because state bodies will come up with different ways to implement such a decision.  In fact, such a decision would mean an almost complete ban on the free use of cryptocurrency.

Yes, it looks like we have another correction in prices despite the fact that there was already a short correction at the end of November.  Bitcoin dropped to $ 18,240 and ethereum to $ 550.  I expected good growth in December, but this is not happening yet.  We can only hope that this time the correction will be short-lived.  In general, there is still time for price growth.

Yes, usually at the end of the year we see a good rise in prices in the cryptocurrency market.  This year the situation is perfect for such growth.  We were almost at the goal of Bitcoin reaching its previous price record, but the market first went into correction, then the subsequent good growth stopped.  Prices have even stabilized for a while, and now they have even dropped a little.  It is difficult to say with what it is connected, however, the rate of price growth has been lost, and there are several weeks left until the end of the year.  Of course, things can still get better.  Let's hope we see a continuation of the bull market soon.

The tactics and strategy of behavior in the cryptocurrency market to maximize profit comes with experience.  When we calmly perceive the next sharp decline in prices in the market, understand the reason for this fall and do not perceive it as a catastrophe, we can psychologically invest in a potential cryptocurrency when its price falls.  Most young investors do this when a coin has been increasing in value for a long time, then it seems that its growth will be long and this is a common misconception.  Therefore, many newcomers to cryptocurrency suffer losses.

The high volatility of prices in the cryptocurrency market provides participants in this market with good profits in any condition of this market.  If there is no price volatility or it is significantly reduced, this market will largely lose its attractiveness.  Yes, and a decentralized cryptocurrency will cease to be one if price volatility disappears.  No, price volatility in the cryptocurrency market should remain.

Although the world is gradually moving towards digital technologies, it must also be remembered that digital technologies make our world more vulnerable.  We become completely dependent on these technologies and during global cataclysms, when these technologies are turned off, we will simply become helpless for further survival.  Therefore, along with the transition to the use of high technologies, we should not give up old reliable technologies for now.  Therefore, cash is also not worth giving up for now.

There may be several reasons for this.  In general, of course, cash is less traceable than cryptocurrency.  Also, not all criminals are well versed in cryptocurrency.  Therefore, they are simply afraid to use it.  On the one hand, they are afraid that they can be identified, and on the other hand, that they will not be able to cash out the cryptocurrency in the end.

The new coin can bypass ethereum only in price, and that is most likely for a short time.  The most important indicator is the capitalization of a coin or token, that is, the volume of investment and trade.  This indicator is used to judge the demand and popularity of cryptocurrency.  Ethereum has a good margin of safety in terms of capitalization and therefore no one threatens this coin yet.  With the successful implementation of Ethereum 2.0, the position of this coin will be even stronger.

The point of state central bank stablecoins is not to create a stablecoin that looks like a cryptocurrency.  The government wants to replace non-cash payments with its national currency with the same ones, but using blockchain technology.  Therefore, their stablecoin will definitely be tightly centralized with unlimited stablecoin issuance.  Due to the coronavirus pandemic, some of the cash will be replaced by the national stablecoin.  The Chinese digitalized yuan will be launching soon, and we will take a closer look at such stablecoins in practice.

Investing in new projects is always associated with great risk.  Therefore, beginners should not start right away with new projects and new tokens.  The best place to start is investing in the coins at the top of the CoinMarketCap table.  First you need to understand how the cryptocurrency market works, its cyclical nature of price growth, and only then switch to specific coins with their individual characteristics.  It is always difficult to restore what is lost, but you should not despair.  The main thing is to draw the correct conclusion from your mistakes and not repeat them.

I read the information that 32 ethereum in staking will be blocked for two years at 15 percent per annum.  However, the problem is that in this case you need to use a personal computer of a certain capacity, which must be connected to the Internet around the clock, otherwise penalties will be imposed.  Existing technical requirements and requirements to be constantly connected to the Internet limit our staking opportunities.
