It is great to have such news at this early stage of this year 2020 that most of the news you have gathered and mentioned are mostly tackling about cryptocurrency on a good manner. Only one news have been into the other side which is not so good to hear. Well at least good news have started up this year which is a good indication of a great year for cryptocurrency ahead of us. It is so nice that the world is already recognizing the real importance of the cryptocurrency existence and I do hope that a lot more great news related to cryptocurrency will come that will bring back the credibility and reliability of the crypto community which can also attract more potential investors to come engaging into this industry we are all into.
