I read not long ago that 75% of CFOs predict a recession in the USA by the end of 2020. Isn't that funny the coincidence with the BTC halving? 
Italy has managed to avoid a recession, but there are still concerns, and I am not even talking about Germany. If a recession happens in Europe people/companies will switch to a safer currency like CHF, GBP, or NOK.
Recession in the USA 2020 that is a great coincidence and by that same time bitcoin halving will be taking place were a lot of new development in the bitcoin network, which will lead to bitcoin being able to be use for micropayment with low or no fee at all, this is going to open a great door for bitcoin adoption all over the US.Italy has managed to avoid a recession, but there are still concerns, and I am not even talking about Germany.
