The advent of Bitcoin's blockchain technology has opened up a world of possibilities that were never imagined. People can finally achieve financial freedom by being their own bank anytime, anywhere. In 2017, there was the ICO boom where crypto land was filled with hype with many companies launching their own business ventures. Everything has been about smart contracts, on-chain privacy, and Blockchain-based gaming. But ever since prices started to decline back in 2018, there has been a lost of interest into crypto and Blockchain tech from people in the mainstream world.
It's now 2020, where many exciting events are yet to come. Bitcoin will experience another reduction in its block reward (halving), while Ethereum becomes closer to adopting PoS into its blockchain network. The space is definitely maturing, but the level of demand is still a lot less than it was back in 2017.
Nonetheless, I'm curious to know what's the next big thing in crypto?

The big thing that might happen in the crypto market is that many countries are starting to publish their own cryptocurrency. If this happens, there is an opportunity for adoption of cryptocurrency that is well known to the public and this might make the cryptocurrency market excited again and Bitcoin can be a safe haven asset like gold
