Topic: List of key areas to look out for in 2020 - page 2. (Read 517 times)

You forgot to add China launching its own coin, they are in the planning stage but there is a big possibility that they are going to launch today or if they are going to launch next year it will hug limelight because of what it's trying to accomplish, although the big significant is the halving and Libra Coin.

Libra is not interesting at all.. not anymore
the other areas are kinda interesting
DeFi is the most interesting in my opinion, i am cruious about who is going to lead the pack in this field

I agree with point 3 and 6.Blockchain games are really gaining popularity.And sooner or later, this technology must be introduced into the gaming industry.WEB 3-in fact already on the threshold and most likely in the near future we will see what will happen.

I want to share my research with the list that the OP gave.

1. Libra/Calibra

The target date is said to be in 2020 in the link below, but the announcement that they gave was June 18, 2019. So with all the news surrounding it about how it may not come to fruition is out of their control as said in the article. I think they knew that they would have a hard time to let the government accept it. There's no assurance that it would be released in 2020.

2. Bitcoin Halving

This is a sure thing, but there's no specific date. It would depend on how many blocks they would get. That's the reason why there are different times for different countdown timers by various websites.

3. Gaming Development on Blockchain

With the current uprising of eSports in the world, there's no doubt that Gaming Development paired with the blockchain tech is inevitable. I'm just not sure if there is a significant release in 2020 related to this. I think it still has a long way to come.

4. DeFi Growth

This is the first time I have heard or read about this. Decentralized Financing is worth to watch out because of the possibilities. I just searched for it, but I'm not sure if it's the right one. Anyways, with events that are related to blockchain flourish, I think there would be a significant growth within the crypto community. I do hope that it would improve this year. That's what we need right now.

5. Central Bank Currencies

I just think that it's almost the same as fiat but in digital form or something. They want to create their own to have complete control. I think that's why we need more decentralized platforms to support the citizens of the world and the funds to be not corrupted. I'm not sure if CBDC's would be beneficial.

6. Infrastructure and Web 3.0

The transformation of traditional businesses would something to watch out for, Web 2.0 to Web 3.0. Being able to utilize Dapps would be useful and a lot more. The semantic web, AI, 3D Capabilities, etc. This is the future.

a pretty interesting list to discuss this year. I want to see some big progress on crypto in 2020, What interests me is waiting for the Libra project to be launched to the public. I think with the launch of Libra it will be great news on the development of crypto throughout the world because the Facebook giant has a large community . we just wait for what will happen

Its the Defi that I'm more interested to watch out because this will solve all the privacy issues we are currently avoiding. A lot of the exchanges even the dex we knew in the past had been collecting KYC already which isn't normal for an exchange that claimed as DEX. Libra isn't so exciting anymore after the fact that its been blocked by congress and different countries.  The most important would be the halving which the awaited price effect. Its very anticipated so the pump might really not occur.

Ethereum network switching to proof of stake from proof of work is also going to be massive event but then again we still do not know when exactly this is going to happen but the good thing is that eth developers are actively working and releasing newer upgrades regularly which will eventually result in very efficient eth network and value will boost massively too as a result.

Libra is in a battle with the world capitalist makers. We have seen their many partners leaving them, for fear of backlash from the government, we can't really tell how well Libra can survive this government scrutiny. Would have love to have Libra in market despite been a stablecoin.

I'm glad you didn't add anything about Telegram to your list. Everybody loves to talk about GRAM token, which they don't know anything about.

I think the two most important events this year are the developments in Bitcoin halving and DeFi. Bitcoin halving is often discussed. But DeFi still hasn't come up enough. DeFi can shape the economy of the future.

Would definitely be paying attention to the projects aiming to bring BTC liquidity into the DeFi ecosystem. Being able to Collateralize BTC on Compound for example will significantly increase the user activity on these platforms.

Block chain gaming is the next big thing that will make crypto grow better soon, if big gaming companies start using blockchain many people will adopt crypto more easier, it's all looking good for crypto and blockchain

Bitcoin halving
Gaming development on blockchain

these are the only events that, in my opinion, will have a strong impact on the cryptocurrency market this year. I think Libra / Calibra and the other events that you listed will take place only next year. but in any case, I will be very happy if the whole year will be filled with many positive events

Libra was having more serious speculations right now, and as new year 2020 came in, I haven't hear any news from long silence. Since there was troubles launching this project, it made Libra's team so difficult to enter the world of cryptocurrency. For so many factors affecting it's possible launching, I don't think it's going to be easy in the future. Let's be more concern with bitcoin to soar higher in the incoming days.

4 yearly events that always happen and are awaited by many people, yeah Bitcoin halving and as far as I know has always had a positive impact on the crypto market, we can see it from the chart history that occurred after Bitcoin halving.

Currently the blockchain-based game is quite popular with many people and of course its development will be more diverse. Recently I know DeFi and DeFi always appear in every discussion, therefore I am very enthusiastic in every project that uses it, interesting to see its development further.

So in 2020 there will be many good and interesting things that will happen in the crypto industry, I hope this year will be better.

Libra is not going to happen. Too many hostile governments hate the idea of stablecoins (and who can blame them?)

Central bank currencies won't get issued till around 2025. There is a global economic slowdown happening now, and they won't want to release a new currency in the middle of it.

Bitcoin halving is the only guaranteed event on your list!

Always remember to keep hands crossed and not put all eggs in a basket

Bitcoin halving is hyped right now, ETH 2.0 is on the way and china is about to release their own first ever digital currency, what do you expect if not good growth this year? Bitcoin Will surely grow bigger this year and i hope we get lower dominance for altcoins to surge as well

libra and calibra are on hold, gamification has been here for years, these are not the key point that we must look forward to in 2020 but defi and bitcoin halving are.
also pos might be a thing after eth shows their interest in using this consensus and other top cryptocurrencies are currently testing it on their testnet.

Many big projects have a good concept in 2020 I think it will have good growth in the crypto market, we know that many are waiting for that concept but is it possible that this will increase the price in the market?

Hopefully, bitcoin (halving) whether in 2020 this will increase or wait for the process in 2021 to become a new ATH, we cannot be certain about that, for sure, everything will go well.

All kinds of price changes are possible in the crypto space. But $50k is a bit exaggerated. Let's see how the crypto to be created by centralized powers and the next halving will be effective. Because I do not think other news will leave an effective result on price.
