John says, Over the year 2019, it has become apparent that most economies around the world have stagnated. This has been evident in some of the biggest economies in the world. For example, the U.S, China, Germany, and the U.K. All these countries had a bad year which has shown little positive prospects for the coming year, 2020. This could mean more popularity for Bitcoin which has become a hedge for a bad economy and a poorly performing national currency. But it's not all positive. Some governments might be keen to outlaw Bitcoin in fear that its citizens will seek refuge in it and worsen its economic turmoil.
Most experts expect further monetary easing policies in the year to come. Monetary easing has taken place in at least 37 developed Central banks in the last year. This like in 2007 is a sign that the economy is not well. In addition to Central banks easing their monetary policies, it has been reported that their gold hoarding has hit a 50 year high. This year alone, Central banks have accumulated 668 tons of gold.
In 2020, Bitcoin is expected to soar. This means that its popularity will skyrocket. As the masses get pulled in because of its success and a failing economy, we could see world governments begin censoring, banning or heavily regulating Bitcoin. This could very well backfire and see even more people get interested in the digital asset. But it could as well lead to a fall.
