Do you think that 2017 was the "Golden Year of Crypto"? Or is the best is yet to come? Your input will be greatly appreciated.

It still stand as the golden year since the last all time high is not yet broken but in terms of numbers of good coins in the market, I guess 2020 is the best year, we now have coins that matured to be the top coins in the market, once the all time high is broken this year we can list 2020 as the best year, over coming pandemic is one of it's achievement.

2017 began as a bullish year for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on the market. I remember when BTC went from $1k to almost $20k in just 2017 alone. That's a massive price increase never before seen in the history of crypto. During that time, new projects started to rise with ambitions to make our world a better place. ICOs where a big hit, followed by Bitcoin-based forks like Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold. Many who invested prior to the bull market of 2017, have made exponential gains in a short amount of time. It was crypto's best moment as it went into the mainstream so quickly.

Once 2018 started, prices for major cryptocurrencies went all the way down the drain. Governments imposed heavy-handed regulations against ICOs, reducing the demand for ETH and its tokens on the market. At the same time, some countries banned crypto from being used by their citizens. Many negative events happened in 2018, which stifled crypto's growth in the mainstream world. Then came 2019 that was almost the same as 2018, and now it's 2020 where people are starting to buy crypto once more because of the negative effects of COVID-19 on the mainstream economy. Yet, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are still behind their latest ATH  (All-Time-High) in price. With BTC's Third Halving , prices should've been within the $15k range by now. Still, crypto is not the same as it used to be back in 2017.

Do you think that 2017 was the "Golden Year of Crypto"? Or is the best is yet to come? Your input will be greatly appreciated.

2017 has taught us many lessons but I think 2020 is the golden year of cryptocurrency. We have seen many DeFi project and a unique concept like NFT. Also so many new decentralized exchange which will be better than CEX in many ways. Crypto space is fulfilling satoshi's vision by providing so many decentralized platforms and their project.

2017 has been an exceptionally solid year for all cryptocurrencies.Yes,I believe that the year of 2017 was the golden time for crypto marketing. But we are hopeful  that today or tomorrow we will see the best time of crypto marketing. So we are always ready for the great news.So 2017 was the golden year of crypto.

I am convinced that the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise and that the price on 01/01/2022 will be higher than 01/01/2021. This slump yesterday was to be expected as the price has risen extremely sharply over the past few weeks. A perfectly normal pattern and a healthy decline if we want to see higher prices in the future.

I hope so. With a BTC halving expected to take place every 4 years, prices could soar towards new heights in the not-so-distant future. Most investors are hoping prices to get past BTC's ATH of $20k per coin. Once that happens, the whole market will experience a bullish trend. After all, altcoins follow Bitcoin's price movements on the market. With new ATHs for most cryptocurrencies, the next upcoming years might be even better than 2017. But if that doesn't happen, 2017 will remain as crypto's pivotal year where it helped the industry reach widespread adoption in the mainstream world.

As long as crypto remains decentralized and censorship-resistant, it'll be able to last a lifetime. Prices don't matter as long as crypto remains useful to the world. You can easily make cross-border payments without the need for a middleman or third party. As people become their own banks with crypto, central banks' dominance in the economy will reduce like never before. Only time will tell us whenever most governments will be friendly towards crypto and blockchain technology or not. Just my thoughts

No!

2021 is the Golden Year for crypto, watch this space. Next year is going to be like nothing we’ve ever seen before.

[BRABO2]

I have no doubt about the year of 2017 this was the golden year of crypto. 2017 has been a very strong year for all cryptocurrencies. Jut search on coinmarketcap any coins available on that period and take a look of the prices. Everything was going very strong in the market. there a was a record each day for weeks and weeks.So 2017 was the golden year of crypto.

[Plinteng]

I didn't know crypto in 2017, but it is said that at that time there were so many events and campaigns that actually made a lot of money, unlike this time or the year before where bullshit projects and scams were rampant. But in general I think cryptocurrencies are getting better every year even though there are times when the situation is really tough.

[krisnajsadrak]

No!

2021 is the Golden Year for crypto, watch this space. Next year is going to be like nothing we’ve ever seen before.

indeed, i agree with you, because a big sign already show up on bitcoin price, for sure 2021 bitcoin and altcoins will growth together in crypto market
so, if we said 2017 is the golden year for crypto maybe 2021 will be more than 2017

[usekevin]

No!

Almost a accepted point from you. The price of bitcoin had reached without any huge difficulty on 2017, it will not be a wondering one.In 2020, the price of bitcoin again reached to 19, 000$ it's not a easy task.Many country in world had a big thread to bitcoin for now. By facing all issues, bitcoin had reached same 19k$ will be the wondering one for sure.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I think that 2021 will definitely be the golden year of cryptocurrencies. The market is in an awesome situation now and cryptos are still continuing to go higher. I believe that 2021 will be a better year for cryptos comparing to this year. I think the demand will be higher in 2021 and crypto prices will reach higher levels than these too.

[akirasendo17]

I think golden years should not only be determined by the price or value of coins during the years but how they improve, upgrade, and the usage of a certain technology or blockchain in a business, I must say that every year crypto is getting more and more attention to the world so it's hard to say if 2017 is already the golden year

Many more things will happen in the coming years of crypto. Let's not immediately end the first year that it has risen sharply. The journey of crypto is just begun, so I think 2017 is not yet the Golden year for crypto. Let's wait more than what happened last 2017.

[Banulit]

I dont think that we can simply say that the year 2017 is said to be the "golden year of crypto" but I think its better to say that it is part of the milestone happened cryptos knowing that mostly all the cryptos boosted and  by that year. And I also guess that the golden year of cryptocurrencies is now just approaching very soon.

[ijeb]

In my opinion 2017 was a wake up call year because at that time so many were profiting of the people that just heard of crypto and wanted to invest so a lot of scams and a lot of good money was lost. I think we are getting more mature now and looking for potential and security because the technology is clearly there and running.

[amarmurgi]

2017 has been a very lucrative year for our cryptocurrencies. This 2017 has given a lot of profits to many because there was a very strong market, and all the coins pumped a lot. But now it has pumped a lot in 2019 too but this 2019 has not pumped all the coins so I think 2017 was a lucky year for us.

[cassavachips]

For me, late 2017 and early 2018 were the best for cryptocurrency. At that time bitcoin and some altcoins reached ATH. By the end of this year bitcoin has reached a new ATH and I hope it will be a similar situation back then.

[Abiky]

No!

2021 is the Golden Year for crypto, watch this space. Next year is going to be like nothing we’ve ever seen before.

I hope so. Prices could hit new ATHs because of the increasing popularity of crypto. The COVID-19 pandemic has turned out to be extremely beneficial for the crypto/Blockchain space. That, combined with Bitcoin's past halving event, should bring a massive surge in price during the next 4 years. If we base ourselves on the market's past performance, then 2021 should become the year where crypto experiences a long-lasting bull run.

Until that happens, 2017 will remain as the "Golden Year of Crypto" where mainstream adoption (and price) increased all the way to the moon. Bitcoin was the one that benefited the most as it went all the way from $1k to $20k in just a matter of months. 2021 could make Bitcoin reach higher prices, having a positive effect over altcoins' mainstream adoption. For what I know, everything is just pure speculation. As long as you buy, "hodl", and sell at the right time, you'll be able to achieve peace of mind in your financial life. It's all a matter of exploiting every opportunity available in order to be successful in crypto land. Just my thoughts

2017 and 2018 were very good for Bitcoin and altcoins,
at that time the Bitcoin price increased at the end of 2017, and the altcoin season came after that at the beginning of 2018,
of course if this happens again then bitcoin season will be at the end of 2020 and altcoin season will come in 2021, hopefully it will happen

[gurunanakji777]

No doubt 2017 was the Golden year of Cryptos even I did some Bounties & Airdrops in the last quarter of 2017 and those bounties & airdrops gave me a huge reward but after that, I was demotivated by the long bear market. We can not predict the same bullish movement will happen again or not but in my opinion, the market will keep moving but 2017 will remain the Golden Year of crypto.

[meldrio1]

As long there is no yet another bullish so I must say 2017 was the golden year of crypto. Bitcoin and altcoins were booming so much in that year but now it's different, bitcoin is bullish but the altcoins were not really. Well let's hope that in the next year we can see the same bullish as 2017.
