Summary of this year on a global level would be: we had it all. Ok, almost all; asteroid missed the Earth, probably changed its mind when was close enough and saw where is headed.
Doomsday clock is on two minutes to midnight and this is the world we live in;
- Covid-19 pandemics,
- wildfires all around the world (biggest in Australia, America, Siberia) that destroyed enormous amount of plants and animals,
- locust swarms in Africa,
- floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes (67 confirmed eruptions from 63 different volcanoes, 22 of those were new eruptions that started during the year),
- massive explosion in Beirut,
- climate crisis and endangering melting of ice sheets,
- deadly air pollution,
- solar eclipse, blue moon, conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn,
- Davos forum with the great reset agenda,
- Brexit (and Megxit ;P), US elections, protests against dictatorship and stolen elections (in Serbian and Ukraine), BLM protests,
- stock market crash, even Google crashed for an hour :O
- SpaceX.s journey up and down again (with successful landing),
- Chinese flag on the Moon,
- South Korea's artificial sun set new world record (shined for 20 seconds at 100 million degrees),
- new step toward transhumans with Neuralink.s brain chip,
- Nobel prize for CRISPR,
- corona vaccine(s) and many other events more or less noticed.
Even “monolith” from 2001: Space Odyssey appeared LOL

But ofc, most important event is me joining Hive ;P with no previous experience with blockchains.
All in all, very, very, stressful year with “new normal” and new new.
So, my recommendation for NY entertaining program is movie Death to 2020
Irony, sarcasm, references to contemporary pop culture are used for critical overview of this year.
For my taste too much time given to just few political events but generally is ok; funny and disturbing at the same time.
Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for
