Anthony Pompliano, a well-known Bitcoin fan and founder of Morgan Creek, said that Bitcoin is not an investment, but a peaceful protest against a system that can change the world.

The CEO of Twitter and cryptocurrency enthusiast Jack Dorsey believes that Africa will determine the future of the cryptocurrency industry.

The most anticipated event of the cryptocurrency industry in 2020 is the halving of the Bitcoin miners award (halving). Many associate with him a new growth cycle of the cryptocurrency market.

In the traditional economic system, the Central Bank regulates the exchange rate of the national currency, which, if necessary, can saturate the economy with money or withdraw it from circulation. There are various tools for this: currency intervention, a quantitative easing program, raising or lowering interest rates on loans and deposits for commercial banks and other methods. They allow the Central Bank to contain or increase inflation and, in general, influence the economic situation in the country.

Now a little more than 18 million Bitcoins have been mined, and the maximum number of BTC cannot exceed 21 million. Bitcoin enthusiast Charlie Shrem believes that in a few years even 5 BTC will be able to change the life of their owner.

Of course, 5-10 Bitcoins is from 45 to 90 thousand dollars at the current exchange rate, and not everyone can afford such money. However, on the other hand, even 1 BTC, in the case of multiple growth, can change the life of the owner.

Blockstream Chief Strategy Officer, Samson Mow, believes that regulators' hostility towards Bitcoin could be a "double-edged sword" for the organizations themselves.

Mow said that bitcoin really solves a large number of problems of the traditional financial industry, for example, inflation. In his opinion, the countries of the world will have to accept cryptocurrencies because of their advantages, and the hostility of regulators towards Bitcoin can destroy the credibility of them.

Fundstrat Global Advisor Managing Partner and cryptocurrency enthusiast Tom Lee believes that after the recent strong growth in Bitcoin, the bulls have again begun to dominate the market.

Founder and CEO of BKCM cryptocurrency investment company Brian Kelly believes that the industry does not currently need Bitcoin traded exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Kelly emphasized that Bitcoin ETFs are not needed for the development of the industry, since the first cryptocurrency is already available for trading on regulated platforms such as Fidelity and TD Ameritrade.

The symbol of Bitcoin will appear on the form of players of the English professional football club Watford. In addition, the team will begin to sell souvenirs for cryptocurrency.

The football club announced on its website that the Bitcoin logo will appear on the players form as part of the club's partnership with the Sportsbet.io betting platform. The team will also start accepting Bitcoin as payment for their souvenirs.

Binance cryptocurrency exchange CEO Changpeng Zhao said a recent $ 1 billion cryptocurrency transaction shows bank failure.

He expressed his opinion on the social network Twitter in a commentary on the post of cryptocurrency enthusiast and entrepreneur Charlie Shrem. Shrem noted that the people who conducted the transaction paid $ 600 for the transfer of $ 1 billion in Bitcoin and, in his opinion, greatly overpaid. 

Jack Dorsey, CEO of Square's payment startup and founder of Twitter, said that Bitcoin will continue to spread, but it's too early to consider currency.
