We arent here to write your stupid article for you...

Just google it, surely some terrible site posted an article just like that already.

The only thing that affects bitcoin is the security of the bitcoin protocol...all the things happening around it don't matter.

The next element is: Facebook or google change the ban.
They have a huge impact on the bitcoin value.

Since you pointed out 5 factors by yourself, you should able to complete it. But to point out, I think there may be some stuff of regulated and also wide acceptance of bitcoin. All these will greatly benefits bitcoin at the long run.

- I would add the next halving. Considering it will come in 2020 it will probably start in to impact in 2019 we will see a hype around it. But historically we see the result of a halving a year after and it's the miners who are affected.

- The tech: LN, bulletproof,...

- Regtech: an approval or something around from a government or a central bank

- Economy: The crisis in Turkey

sure

Lightning Network getting released should be the next big thing for Bitcoin surely. Moreover, if some big guns from the industry step up, like the news of ICE joining crypto market with their own exchange also can change the tide of the whole crypto market.

Not only China, but also there are a lot of countries like India, Brazil, Russia who have either restricted the usage of Bitcoin or have totally banned it. Them, trying to either regulate it or legalize it might bring a huge change in Bitcoin's current market.

why would you need 5 factors anyways? are you trying to write some silly clickbait article on some website and then advertise it here?
there is only 1 factor which is important in the long run and that is adoption and it is growing. all the rest of them are only short term noise.

1. IPO Bitmain fin. results
2. One of the ETFs approved by SEC
3. China unban cryptocurrency trading

1. a mining company having an IPO has nothing to do with bitcoin price.
2. as i said this is only short term noise. in the long run an ETF is not going to change anything for bitcoin adoption and its long term price. not to mention that ETF is limited to one  country while bitcoin is global. it is not even direct investment in bitcoin!
3. China never banned cryptocurrency trading to want to unban it now! they banned shady exchanges.

Trade in crypto currency for Chinese citizens was not formally banned, but there were practically no legitimate ways for buying and selling. Cryptocurrencies are only exist by operating in a grey area.

Today I learned about the statistics, according to which 23% of the world's companies invest more than 10 billion in blockchain and it will be in 2019.

I think next blockchain hype wave will be in 2020

Not in that range of time but halving will have huge effect, also I think etf will boost the price of bitcoin in the long term.

[talkbitcoin]

the biggest thing to look forward to is Lightning Network and its adoption. we only need it to start being used seriously before we can see the next big price surge because of it happens.
for example as soon as we see the first exchange implements the first LN node and start allowing traders to use it then we will see a lot of merchants and other businesses follow and that will bring a lot of attention to bitcoin and can be the start of the rise towards $1 million

I agree this is very serious news and we are all waiting for approval or positive news! I would still add this to the legalization of the crypto market and new projects in India! the meeting will be held in September and the controlling bodies - will have to give their answer and a positive result!

There will not be ETF approval becouse of number of reasons. One is that it's not safe to store keys

[Baksobakar]

I don't really know what that is, but what I know is that there are too many ico scams and rampant pros and cons from the local government

[listoncrypto]

Many factors which impact on BTC but it's tough to define but you tried to predict them and wish you are right with your defined factor.

[coinwizard_]

The missing points are that crypto trading will be accepted in India which is another large economy. Also Sharia acceptance of crypto trading will make it accessible to a huge number of investors, a new compliant exchange is opening up in the middle east soon.

I'd add Bakkt which IMO is much more important than ETFs. Most of the ETFs that OP has given as a second most important thing in BTC right now are not planning to buy BTC at all, so money flowing to those funds will not change anything for BTC. Those who are planning to hold BTC could potentially impact the price, but it's not certain. Why would people prefer someone else to hold their coins if they can do it themselves? There certainly are some rich and lazy people out there, but is there enough of them to take us back to 20k? I doubt it. If we go there it will be due to a naturally occuring bull market in a year or 2.
