Ever since strict regulations were introduced in 2017, we've seen a substantial decline in Bitcoin's price across the market. It's believed that 2017 was the year where Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies went "mainstream" as many people adopted them for their own benefit. The introduction of new regulations, ETFs, futures trading, and Bitcoin forks (BCH, BSV, etc.) could've had an impact over Bitcoin's price. Whales could be manipulating Bitcoin's price as we know, preventing the pioneer cryptocurrency for reaching new All-time-highs in price.

Imagine if every Bitcoin halving, prices would remain the same or lower than they were before. This would turn out to be completely unsustainable for miners, resulting in decreased security of the Bitcoin blockchain. Of course, the way Bitcoin was designed tells us that price should be going up over time. But I've seen how regulations and events in the mainstream world have negatively impacted Bitcoin's price to a point where it has taken a very long time to rise back up to its original levels. It's been almost 2 years since a bear market occurred (2018), and could last longer as we know it.

As it's said, "Patience is a virtue". We as "hodlers" of Bitcoin should be patient in order to see better results in the future. But, what if Bitcoin never reaches a new ATH? Then, I'm afraid that most people "hodling" Bitcoin will lose all of their investment in the long run.

What are your thoughts? Huh
We need to keep are hopes high that bitcoin will reach it's new ATH in 2020 or in the future because if bitcoin didn't reach its new ATH a lot of people would really upset and disappointed that they will stop buying bitcoin and they will lose their patience that they will sell it.

If the price of Bitcoin doesn’t reach another ATH price then we are just going to keep making use of it as a method of transaction only, and btw that’s even the purpose Bitcoin was created for, we all know that it was diverted to use as an investment because of its volatile nature, if not it would have been strictly for payment.

Assuming that it becomes a bit stable next year, and bit volatile of course, I would like it that way. But, since we can’t really predict what the future has for us, we are just going to cross our arms and wait for what will happen. I personally believe 2020 will be a different year than what we had in 2018 and 2019. So, let's wait and watch.

If bitcoin never crosses its previous ATH then miseries of all those who bought bitcoin at ATH will continue, no else will be affected due to this. Since 2017 we are waiting for ATH of bitcoin but no succes. I am happy I am not the one who bought bitcoin when it was at its ATH. Make it a habit never buy anything when it was at its peak.

I think it's a mistake that BTC only looks through the price. He needs to adapt in creating life. Make it normal to buy something with him. Nobody keeps a dollar or a euro because they think their value will grow
I think that in order for Bitcoin to adapt in everyday life, it needs to be used in everyday life, which is not the case right now, Bitcoin needs to be regulated.
Really need time for bitcoin to be adapted. Especially with this condition which government really strict about it and others are blocked it. Maybe if superpower country start to support it, the others will follow to support and bitcoin can be legal in a lot of countries.

In fact, many people are doing exactly that. Hundreds of millions of people in developing and underdeveloped countries are holding hard currencies, such as USD and EURO, because they are considered good as a store of value. And, indeed, their value is growing in comparison with local currencies. Yes, we need more adoption and utilization for Bitcoin, but there's nothing wrong in holding it as something precious.

Regarding a new ATH, I wish to all of us to see it in 2020.

Very unlikely. I don't think the current ATH is crazy or unreachable. BTC has at least twice reached almost $14K this year, which is about 70% of the ATH. I expect the next halving to fuel the major rally breaking new ATH in the coming years. But even if the worst happens, people should know that investing in crypto is very risky.
BTC already proves itself for how many times. I do agree with you that it shows us how it is easy to achieved $14k, new ATH will be a piece of cake, maybe not today or right after the halving, it may take more months but at least, new ATH will come for sure.
Yes there is no doubt that bitcoin has huge potential to gain high level demand with time so as according to previous record I am sure this time again bitcoin will give us pleasant change in price that almost all investors will appreciate and will support bitcoin for being the most reliable coin, i hope new ATH will come soon.

First, I believe that crypto adoption will continue to increase, so I will not believe that bitcoin will not reach its new ATH due to its limited number of supply. the math is very simple with bitcoin, price will increase as the demand increases and one thing that could drive a new ATH is the hype in the market and the whales still has the power to manipulate the price.
good spirit. I also believe that the growth of cryptocurrency can be even higher. although I'm not so sure that the price of bitcoin can easily touch the new ATH, but this year it seems worth thinking about again. as one of my beliefs about this, until now I still continue to collect bitcoin even though we don't know whether bitcoin can touch the new ATH or not.

$20,000 for Bitcoin is not that big a price, I think the crypto industry will only grow over the years and sooner or later Bitcoin will cost more than $20,000.
Even though you think that $ 20,000 isn't a big price, it seems like it's very big for bitcoin. During this time, bitcoin has only been done once, or never even reached it. despite achieving it, it doesn't take long enough. thinking about this, I think it's very difficult for bitcoin to reach the price of $ 20,000 again even though there is a halving upfront. Well, I'm not spreading FUD, but for now, we really need to see prices realistically. even if there is a pump for bitcoin after halving, I think it requires hard work to reach the price of $ 20,000 and maintain it
I think that number is big enough because the development of bitcoin is good enough for its price, compared to the time to achieve it, I think the development of bitcoin is quite good and the number could have been reached and might be overtaken.

At $20,000 per coin, Bitcoin would be having a market capitalization of almost $400 billion. And this figure is more than the market capitalization of many of the giant corporations, such as Boeing and PepsiCo. And if we want Bitcoin to have such a huge market cap, then it needs to put a lot of things in order. First and foremost, there should be clarity on the legality. Even now, the legal status of Bitcoin is not clearly defined in the vast majority of the nations.

Bitcoin will do ATH again. What if he doesn't? Nothing happens. It does not matter. If the value of Bitcoin drops one day, perhaps another project will replace it. I don't think that would happen. Next time the king is always bitcoin.
If bitcoin continues to fall, I still believe that no project will be able to replace bitcoin. If you look at statistics in this market, bitcoin dominates the market with nearly 70%, and in this market we have thousands of different altcoins. Therefore, there will not be any projects that can replace Bitcoin in the future. Also Bitcoin will break ATH in the future, the problem is only time.  patiently is the key to the success of investors in this market

If it doesn't reach another ATH them we should still be thankful because BTC still exists in our lives until now. It is not easy to survive a decade especially for something that exists virtually and can't even touch it. So far BTC is making a way when it comes to cryptocurrency awareness, it's like a torch-bearer of crypto. I am sure in due time it will reach ATH again more than it did in 2017.

It's still very big if we look at how fast it went to that. Normal stocks are looking great if they gain 100% a year so Bitcoins thousands in 10 years are just crazy.
I'd be completely fine without a new ATH ever. I'm not here to make a ton of money on this. It would be great to see 1000% gains one day but let's face reality. How often does one find a bag of money lying somewhere? We'd all want it to happen but it does once in a lifetime, if ever.

The possibility of not reaching the new ATH is always there. I am sure that many people already think the same as you, they should plan for the worse result in the next year. For me, it is no problem if no new ATH but at least there is a significant rise in Bitcoin value. However, it must be a bit problematic if the Bitcoin price never reaches $20,000 as the highest rate in the second halving. Why? Because investors may lose their confidence and trust in investing the Bitcoin longer. They will note there is a serious degradation in Bitcoin investment. The worst thing if they decide to quit massively.

The beauty of bitcoin is that it never settles at one stable price, it’s always moving in up or down position. Always buy when it is at its All Time Low of current month or year. Even if bitcoin never reaches its ATH, we still have opportunities to buy bitcoin when it is low and sell when it is high. Bitcoin never reaches ATH in 2019, but we still have some good opportunities to buy and sell in profit.

We never need the ATH each year if we know how the market is doing. What we just need to do to have profit in bitcoin is to be aware of the market trend and to make each of our trade effective by hitting the right moment to gain profit. As far as I know, we have altcoins to help us earn better. We need not to lock ourselves with bitcoin if we know that bitcoin isn't profitable at the moment. We could always consider those that are showing potential market increase event in long term or short term.
Damn, I hate to say this but isn't it stressful to lock yourself in Bitcoin? Like you really have to be like attached to it to actually know its movement? Tongue Well, at some point you are right that we have to wait and hit for the perfect time to gain a profit when Bitcoin is not that stable because it never become stable ever. That high volatility is the evidence already!

Exactly, it may not be this year and the year 2020 but for sure in the coming years once the demand get exploded again and the market is good then for sure that we cannot stop anymore with the price of Bitcoin, so let's not think too much of the price and worrying ourselves as for sure it will happen at the right time.
