It's indeed true that last year was a crucial moment for us to stick with Bear market to accumulate and hopefully, this could be the beginning of the new bull Era. The market tends to pull back where it was in the previous bull however if there's no setback sooner or later this year we could see a new price hike for BTC and alts too.
Last year saw many exchanges introduced trading bots, and a lot of users benefited running it. Trading bots, dual investment, savings and few other innovative earning product have also been adopted by top exchanges last year.
I think the highlight of last year would be the launch of several earning innovative features which seems to be a welcome development.
