2020 - The Year Of Decentralization. Thoughts?

[wajik-tempe]

the problem with cex is that they are familiar with hacking attack activities, and conversely the problem with dex is liquidity and budget capacity. most of dex was closed in 2019 because they could not deal with regulations, this is also likely to happen in 2020. Nothing is certain at this time, and most importantly, how each exchange is able to maintain consistent performance that ensures users feel they remain comfortable using the services provided.

But i'm sure dex will improve this year and the users are more than last year, it could be increase by double or triple amount of users since the performance of dex is better and the security is much safer than cex. But it won't surpass big cex that already have name in crypto like binance and friend

My fingers are crossed but am not expecting much really..

It is going to be the adoption of decentralized service in my opinion,in the past years people realized about investing on decentralized currencies but they choose centralized services for using like trading but now almost all the exchanges got KYC as regulatory measure which forces lot of people to use decentralized servies means more and more projects are going to emerge in this year.

This year we are expecting the halving and behind that marketplace is relay on various level of growth based on our expectations as I said.
I love to see the Bitcoin value in complete green indicators around few months at least so it will be useful for sure

Personally, I think that every year decentralization is gradually disappearing and anonymity is also disappearing, now everyone is trying to control: exchanges, wallets, transactions, etc.

well its more the decade of decentralization

2020 is the year of decentralization, privacy , regulations, defi and more...

[sehoon]

I don't think that 2020 is the year of decentralization. Because as time goes by, we are getting further away from decentralization. Before bitcoin was born and there was complete anonymity and now KYCs exist and centralized sites exist. But we can't blame them since they provide faster service compared to decentralized sites.

I think it's normal since no one could stop the government if you are still using fiat then expect a centralized country. The majority will always win and Bitcoin is not an exemption to this centralized market. I'm still thinking if this year will be a year of decentralization because I already expected a centralized market.

You gotta understand that projects like Blocknet, and other DEX orientated companies is working hard on the whole user experience. Soon you wont even see the difference between a DEX and a CEX.
There's a lot of FAKE "DEX's" out there, so better avoid them.

Blocknet will get a lot of competiton, and already has, but it's definitely the most decentralized exchange of them all if you actually research the code.
It's a good long term play for sure!

I'm thinking of the opposite, hacks are always there even the early days of bitcoin. And that opposite is the year of  more centralization. It's speculated that institutional money is coming in and the idea of CBDC is already rolling so that's why I'm thinking about the other side.

Yeah, I think so. Regulation, regulation, and regulation always became a hot topic at almost all of blockchain event that I have visited.

CBDC is on discussion phase in my country as well. However, it is not clear if they will use blockchain or not.

I read that uruguay, senegal, china, and tunisia has retail cdbc (blockchain). Sweden has e-krona (non-blockchain). Canada, singapore, thailand, and south africa has wholesale cbdc (blockchain).

Maybe 2020 is the year of regulation.
