Bitcoin could probably see an all-time high (ATH) by the end of 2020, tweets financial analyst and trader Bob Loukas. His prediction for assets are generally correct to some degree, for example, his predictions for Bitcoin in 2019 trading around $7K range proved correct, causing some excitement around his 2020 ATH prediction.

2020 – Expect more of the same overall. Betting against stocks is likely to be foolish. Not having exposure, equally. I see precious metals under heavy accumulation. Possible move to test ATH's by EOY.$BTC – accumulation once more. Bull market narrative to take control. — Bob Loukas (@BobLoukas) January 2, 2020

The reason for a Bitcoin ATH is the global slowdown in central bank movement which would lead to economic stagnation, a prolonged period of little or no growth in the economy, and high inflation. If a slowdown happens, investors will invest in stable assets, which is not impacted by inflation, for instance, Bitcoin which still is the ‘ digital gold.’

Such a narrative predicts BTC’s sustained rise. Although there may be periods of decline, in general, the situation with the coin is positive. Moreover, there is a growing trend in Bitcoin adoption, as more consumers are entering the Bitcoin market, increasing demand, and thus price.

The Main Contradictions

There are many who still believe Bitcoin won’t be reaching the ATH. The reasoning for this is, first, Bitcoin’s actual use cases may be much more narrowed than thought before. The cost of small payments becomes too high to justify as transaction fees rise.

In addition, there is significant potential for government controls or even outlawing. The urge for stronger controls over financial transactions may force policymakers to severely restrict the use of Bitcoin. New Chinese legislation is a vivid example of such a change

Eventually, there is a real possibility is the fear that the demand for Bitcoin will decrease and be replaced with a new token.
