Next big thing in crypto?

[Mpamaegbu]

The space is definitely maturing, but the level of demand is still a lot less than it was back in 2017.

I read somewhere that it was the halving of Bitcoin in 2016 that gave birth to the new money entry into cryptocurrency in 2017 in pursuit of ROI (they achieved this). However, it was a sad experience though that those who made the ROI never ploughed the money back into the industry. Rather they took out the money and invested elsewhere and that demoralized the market - leading to its crash. It shouldn't be a gloom this year. I expect new money to flow into cryptocurrency this 2020 and rebuild withered confidence.

It's now 2020, where many exciting events are yet to come. Bitcoin will experience another reduction in its block reward (halving), while Ethereum becomes closer to adopting PoS into its blockchain network. The space is definitely maturing, but the level of demand is still a lot less than it was back in 2017.

Nonetheless, I'm curious to know what's the next big thing in crypto?

I think it will grow soon. The fomo wave of Bitcoin halving is growing and it is still in the stage of spreading such news. When the crowd is ready, me and you are also ready to buy bitcoin and hold then our market will grow strongly. It is hoped that new wave of capital will be poured into our market to invest in developing projects. Then we can expect the ICO to return and we will be rich.

This is definitely halving. Projects such as ton and libra will not add more than HYIP to the crypto industry. However, halving will certainly affect its price as the bitcoin's block reward is halved. Given that each change in bitcoin is a change for all altcoins due to a 68% dominance, the most important thing in the future is halving.

I am still waiting and hoping for more businesses that would integrate cryptocurrency in their accepted payment already. This would happen more easily if transaction speed would be increased significantly and the fees would also be decreased significantly. This would encourage not just the businessmen to integrate crypto in their business but also the consumer to spend them in their purchases.

Others are still not into using yet as they are waiting for the time it will have a mass adoption it can be in bitcoin, fut for some alts that are really created as payment coin then we should really use it to let others know and be aware that something like this exist and this is much helpful than the traditional ways we know.

In 2020, there will be many outstanding events from this market and all altcoins. But surely Bitcoin halving will be the biggest event everyone is expecting, Halving will definitely help the price of bitcoin rise and have a strong impact on this market. Also I wish the altcoin price could be pumped after bitcoin halving was successful, we have spent 2 years on the bear market and the entire altcoin is almost at the bottom.

Initially we have to wait for halving bitcoin first, if it happens I think there will be a big party in the market and it really can make people who have been waiting a long time will have fun, but we must stay focused and don't assume too much . Even though the potential is big, we have to have a limit for a hope that hasn't happened yet.

The next thing big that may happen to crypto is what we called right not the bitcoin halving, in which this bitcoin halving is happening during every 4 years of crypto in which it becomes more necessary because there are a lot of sayings that when bitcoin halving comes, it would be have a large impact not only to the crypto market and etc. And also just like what you have been said, one of the big thing that might happen is the ethereum 2.0 in which it may release very soon so maybe the ICOs will bounce back again to have many projects and hopefully there would be a lot of good projects again may attain this year 2020.

The crypto backed by the gov't or by the banks. The known CBDC or Central Bank Digital Currency.
This is now the main thing in China lately and I think US and other powerful countries will also follow the trend for this. Once this has already been implemented in China and it's being used by most citizens, I think most of the countries that are looking into cryptocurrency will start to follow that path.

not all of them, and I think crypto supports its own digital currency, not including bitcoin and altcoin.
so your statement is a little wrong, the United States and other countries may be right they support crypto and that has been happening for a long time for America, and will only be implemented in other countries.

The next big event should be the adoption of cryptocurrency by the government or the adoption of the Bitcoin ETF from the SEC. all people stopped waiting for when these events took place and they definitely took place at that moment when no one would expect that only a small number of people could make money on such events

Financial freedom is indeed felt by many people but also many fraud projects that make people suffer and get stuck in debt. This seems to make the public's interest in crypto diminished but by 2020 there will certainly be surprises from many projects that will explode

[coin-investor]

The advent of Bitcoin's blockchain technology has opened up a world of possibilities that were never imagined. People can finally achieve financial freedom by being their own bank anytime, anywhere. In 2017, there was the ICO boom where crypto land was filled with hype with many companies launching their own business ventures. Everything has been about smart contracts, on-chain privacy, and Blockchain-based gaming. But ever since prices started to decline back in 2018, there has been a lost of interest into crypto and Blockchain tech from people in the mainstream world.

Bitcoin will experience another reduction in its block reward (halving), while Ethereum becomes closer to adopting PoS into its blockchain network.

Nonetheless, I'm curious to know what's the next big thing in crypto?

The next big thing that I can think of is the coming Facebook coin Libra and China's coin that both are going to launch this year, what could be bigger than this, than two of the most powerful entity online and offline adopting Bitcoin and will try to be one of its main players in the industry.

[Herry Toms]

The next big thing which is on the way is Mass adoption, Crypto is not just about prices and trading it is about making things better with a fair and decentralized system. So, for me, only a big thing would be MASS ADOPTION.

[magneto]

If you're talking about crypto in general, I think it could be the emergenec of corporate-based tokens.

I think that in the near future companies are going to start to issue their own tokens on their own blockchain infrustructure to potentially aid in the efficiency of their database and internal transactions between clients and the business itself, for example. These tokens aren't necessarily going to be cryptocurrencies but are based on blockchain nonetheless.

Don't count too much on projects like Libra or central bank projects though, as I don't see much value in either.

I don't believe there will be a single event as such that will help bring more mass adoption, but China moving forward with their digital RMB and their President making sure Blockchain is widely accepted, will usher in an era of more mainstream adoption. Although the currency is centralized, the fact that it brings awareness to the blockchain, may open the doors to more investment in decentralized currencies and projects as well. More payment gateways, infrastructure, unbanked people gettign roped into the economy and IOT will do the trick. Smart cities and IOT will rope in everyone.

The biggest thing is Bitcoin halving, I believe Bitcoin will hit top price and volume after it. Last year 2019 Bitcoin pumped but altcoins was silent. So second thing is proof of stalking program on Ethereum blockchain after Ethereum 2.0. Has probability for those this yea, Bitcoin halving is during Q2 and Q4 for Ethereum 2.0.

I once read an article about this, China imposed regulations while still wanting blockchain technology and did not make other regulations about crypto, the good news is that the German government has started to make laws that will bring a lot of progress because banks are allowed to accept Bitcoin transactions and  cryptocurrency

Mass adoption will not easily happen if the people owning Bitcoin cannot spend them in shopping centers, coffee shops, hotels, resorts, restaurants, and more commercial and business establishments.

Before altcoins came out as alternative cryptocurrencies to Bitcoin, Bitcoin was already there as an alternative currency to fiat. Bitcoin was created as a payment tool. Bitcoin should be used first in payment before considering altcoins.

of course the big thing that awaited after bitcoin halving day is bitcoin can be bull run. 2020 is a hopeful year for all crypto holders to hope that this year bitcoin can reach a price of another $ 20k. and also hope that after the bitcoin bull run the altcoin market can be green again. because it's been two years the red altcoin market and most of the altcoin has lost its value. I hope Bitcoin Halving Day has a positive impact on the cryptocurrency market.

Everyone certainly expects the same thing where 2020 is a different year from 2018 and 2019 and also this year we can see the cryptocurrency market which has gone green again. The rising price of bitcoin is certainly everyone's hope that the prices of other coins can be driven to increase and give us profits. But, this is just a hope from all of us, anything can happen later, hopefully what we hope can happen.

Personally, for me, the most anticipated implementation of the possibilities of blockchain technologies, and as TS said "next big thing in crypto" would be a decrease in the share of banks ' influence and an increasing use of blockchain in this area.

   I can't agree more with that statement. This is a big thing that we are waiting for, more people to abandon sinking bank system,
decreasing their share and influence, and on other side to increase the use of Blockchain in all areas. All thous this is not a big
thing that will happen one day, it's a slow process that can last for years. We need to be patient and wait for that!
