What do you think are the hot topics of crypto in 2019？

[Beparanf]

hot topic is when the price of bitcoin almost touched $ 14k in mid-2019 and also about the launch of Bakkt which currently does not look attractive to make bitcoin prices rise, other than that nothing hot topic is discussed, the rest is about hacking exchanges and boring to hear it

Bakkt is the most awaited news for everyone and apparently one that dissaponted others as they expected too much. The Libra coin and IEO can also be consider. There are many that happens but like the dump and pump of BTC and altcoins,we can't do anything on it. Let's hope for better 2020.

Hot topics will always be there every year, and for this year the hot topic is the expectation of the price of bitcoin in 2020, a pretty much discussed IEO investment. but what I see and become a hot topic this year is the hope of halving bitcoin in the years to come, and I also hope that year will really happen

Even though the cryptocurrency industry is not new to ups and downs, 2019 has turned out to be the year with the most surprising reveals. The long-lasting bear market of 2018 moved market analysts to call it the year of regulatory reckoning, leaving many jurisdictions uncertain about how to treat cryptocurrencies.However, 2019 also turned out to be the year of the comeback.

Enter the new year immediately，Why not review the hot topics of crypto in 2019？

Most hot topic in cryptocurrency during 2019 is many exchange market hacked with billion dollar gone in their wallet, two big exchange market have close because hacked and their assets stolen without responsibility with owner want to give back for their member investor, last month have faced with big stolen exchange where Upbit hacked about 320k ETH.

I felt like more and more people became aware of the existence of Bitcoin this year but sadly, most of them just treat it as a "get rich quick" scheme instead of a long-term investment. The knowledge is the key here and people need to get more educated about BTC.

Bitcoin introduced as a digital currency or investment instrument or digital assets.
If the main focus on introducing bitcoin is the technology behind of it, which is blockchain. Maybe the outcome will be different. Sadly, blockchain is complicated to explain for public.

This year's hot topics are Libra, IEO, and hacked binance. those are the news that really interests me for this year. I hope, the coming year will be better. that is, regarding IEO and other crypto developments. however, the most surprising thing is when binance gets hacked.

I think the best event was Chinese president statement in which he emphasized that China should go for blockchain adoption and this resulted in biggest bull run of 2019 taking BTC to 12000$.

I'm not really sure if the price of bitcoin is going up because of China's president's statement about adopting blockchain technology, because as far as we know that their government now only wants to develop blockchain technology in their country but they really hate bitcoin or cryptocurrency to be used as a means of payment or transaction another.

Since there's a lot of things happened here in crypto for the year 2019, I can't think much and this issue is the first thing that came to my mind. About China's president statement about blockchain technology. We are not really sure if that's actually the main reason why the price went up but I do believe that this issue affects the price that made it went up.

Though China are now adopting the Blockchain technology I don't think it will have a big impact on the price movement of Bitcoin. Remember that they're just only adopt Blockchain because they want to develop their own digital currency. In addition, I don't think China doesn't totally not like Bitcoin because if they do I think they will terminate the Bitcoin mining in their country.

I think IEO is another hottest information for cryptocurrency at this year.

As you may know, there are a lot of people who became rich just because they were involved to invest in ICO at 2017 ago.

But when there were a lot of project just eventually scamming many investor then this trend had gone away.

Project ICO dead slowly and now IEO comes, and give another chance to gain money with a bit convinience.

IEO is a hit this 2019,as many see it's a hope after the failure of ICO, it's a good thing at first then a disrupt after awhile. 2019 been full of news and like the Chinese news and many influencer issues. We should be updated as prices affects by the news nowadays.

I think the topics are more than that because there's a lot of story happening in 2019 specially the Libra token and the Craig Wright faketoshi claim. IEO is just part of it but anyway, it's still part of the hot topic this year. Lol
ICO era is long dead in my opinion because of the unstoppable scam everywhere.

Personally I  think the hottest topic for 2019 was people trying to find the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. A lot of people created fake stories regarding who Satoshi is and why he decided to hide his identity.

[Aikidoka]

I think that too, It was really a good pump of price in 2019 when it went to 12k and i think the peak of bitcoin price in 2k19 was 13500$ because of china. I hope that price will increase a lot in the new year and we'll hope that in this year the price will goes up to 20k$ or even more.

[seoincorporation]

For me the hot topic in cryptos this 2019 was:

*ETH moving to PoS
*CLAM crash
*Bitcoin as payment on extortion malware.
*Lightning Network develope and implementation
*segwit Adoption

And an exponential adoption is impressive how more people are using Bitcoin with time.

Bitcoin halving had been the hot topic of 2019 off late as most of the tenured, as well as new users, were discussing the same as this was like the last hope for everyone to regain faith in bitcoin. There were other topics as well but Bitcoin halving an expected bull runs were the most discussed topics as it has to fo with possible gain for the users.

[puertorikosena]

I do not think that in 2019 the cryptocurrency market finally turned around and began a new phase of growth. In any case, it was a rather interesting year in terms of important events, which are very important in the future.

a lot will happen in years 2020 after years 2019 ends and yes the news about Bitcoin halving is a topic that is often discussed at this time. hoping there will be a price increase after Bitcoin halving occurs and of course that is good news for crypto users. at the moment we are still undergoing the beginning of the new year and we want to see other good news from Bitcoin in this years.

I look forward to a new round of bakkt, and also blockchain-based business.

China promises to start running effectively in 2020, they will be a differentiator and even a forerunner of the emergence of greater things if they succeed in gaining national influence. Apart from the news, the latest developments from CME etc. can also be positive pulleys. Both of these topics were quite hot during 2019 accompanying the topic of increasingly strong Halving speculation.

This is as far as I can remember. Bakkt is finally opened. After several launching dates, it was finally launched late in 2019. The volume started very low and slowly rising until reaching tens of millions in USD. Another was that Chinese president Xi Jinping announces support for Blockchain. The announcement coming from the president himself was very popular hitting the headlines of many crypto publications.

I would agree with the Bakkt launching, but what I don't understand is why are people saying that the Chinese president statement has something to do specially bitcoin? Bitcoin is not the same as Blockchain Technology.

The Chinese President statement is pro Blockchain and not pro bitcoin so stop mentioning it as one of the hot topics of 2019 because you are buying on that myth.

[karanggatak]

in my opinion there are some hot topics 2019 that are often discussed in this forum are:
1. discuss and predict bitcoin halving day in 2020
2. about blockchain technology today more and more countries, companies and banks will adopt blockchain technology. the president of china also gave a statement that he supported the blockchain.
3. altcoin which continues to decline.
4. And finally about Craig Wight who claims to be Satoshi.
