But that revolution has hardly come to pass. The cryptocurrency’s tumultuous first decade has been marked byscandals, missteps, and wild price swings. The slump in bitcoin’s price this year has been accompanied by afusillade of criticism. But investors and the cryptocurrency’s enthusiasts have doubled down on their optimism regarding its future. As such, the coming decade could prove to be pivotal to its existence.A Compromised VisionAs set forth by its inventor Satoshi Nakamoto in a seminal paper released on Oct. 31, 2008, bitcoin was supposed to be a borderless and decentralized alternative to government- and central bank-controlled fiat currencies. Consensus regarding a transaction within the bitcoin network does not depend on third-party mediators. Instead, it is achieved with the help of blockchain—a peer-to-peer network of systems with electronic ledgers—to verify and authenticate a transaction. “The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small and casual transactions,” wrote Nakamoto to make his case for removing mediation and replacing it with a peer-to-peer network.1At the end of bitcoin’s first decade, however, that original vision seems compromised. Decentralization has given way to centralization. Bitcoin whales, or investors who have massive holdings of the cryptocurrency, are said to control its price in the markets. The democratization of printing money through mining has been sacrificed for the efficiency of massive mining farms. For example, Chinese company Bitmain, a semiconductor maker, owns 75% of the market for mining-related application-specific integrated circuits. Even bitcoin’s technology has frayed and is afflicted with scaling problems.2But those negatives are balanced by the growth of a thriving and vibrant ecosystem for crypto. The cryptocurrency market, which did not exist less than a decade ago, is currently worth $1.56 trillion.3More than 1500 cryptocurrencies have been created and are being traded onexchangessince bitcoin’s debut.3Blockchain has become a household word and is being touted as a solution to complex problems. After initial hesitation, institutional investors are alsomaking a beelinetowards crypto-assets as a form of investment.Evaluating The Next DecadeThe next decade could prove its importance in bitcoin's evolution. Revolutions within the financial ecosystem apart, there are a couple of areas in bitcoin’s ecosystem that investors should pay close attention to.Currently, the cryptocurrency is poised between being a store of value and a medium for daily transactions.Institutional investorsare eager to get in on the action and profit from the volatility in its prices even as governments around the world, such as Japan, have declared it a valid form of payment for goods.4But problems with scaling and security have prevented both occurrences from happening. “...arguably the biggest failings for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies over the previous years lies with security,”said Chakib Bouda, CTO at Rambus—a payment firm. He is referring to the billions of dollars’ worth of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that have been stolen from exchanges by hackers. According to him, a secure bitcoin ecosystem will lead to widespread adoption. “...we expect in 10 years' time, bitcoin will become mainstream and have a remarkably different reputation,” he said.The mainstreaming of bitcoin (or, for that matter, increase in its attractiveness as an asset class) as a payment mechanism will not occur without technological improvements in its ecosystem. To be considered a viable investment asset or form of payment, bitcoin’s blockchain should be able to handle millions of transactions in a short span of time. Several new technologies, such asLightning Network, promise scale in its operations.Along with improvements in bitcoin’s blockchain, Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz,compared bitcoin to Ford’s Model Tin 2018. The automobile's manufacturer heralded a revolution in transportation and an entire ecosystem, from highways to gas stations, evolved to serve the automobile. Thanks to extensive media coverage, the beginnings of an ecosystem have already taken root in the last couple of years.As regulation evolves to keep pace, it is likely that the ecosystem will expand. Schwartz predicts that the next decade will “bring an explosion of low-cost, high-speed payments that will transform value exchange the way the Internet transformed information exchange.\"So far in 2021, as of March 2021, the price of Bitcoin has topped $50,000 and traded close to $60,000. Large banks are continuing to take notice of the cryptocurrency, with Goldman Sachs reopening its crypto trading desk and BNY Mellon opening custody services for digital currencies.Citi saidbitcoin could be the currency of choicefor international trade. This comes as both PayPal (PYPL) and Tesla (TSLA) made investments in cryptocurrency in early 2021. Teslabought$1.5 billion in bitcoin, while PayPalmade a bid to buycrypto custodian Curv. Citi noted that bitcoin’s future is still very uncertain, but that it’s on the cusp of mainstream acceptance. The institutional investor interest is driving broad interest in the cryptocurrency, but issues over custody, security, and capital efficiency are still headwinds for the digital asset, noted Citi.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[{"id":364520896,"gmtCreate":1614865769115,"gmtModify":1703482182497,"author":{"id":"3570678310101837","authorId":"3570678310101837","name":"Wlkhoo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d7c306314479bd738d275d6ace761fd4","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3570678310101837","idStr":"3570678310101837"},"htmlText":"👍🏻","listText":"👍🏻","text":"👍🏻","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/364520896","repostId":1193630485,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1193630485","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1614843805,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1193630485?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-04 15:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What Will Happen To Bitcoin In The Next Decade?<blockquote>未来十年，比特币会发生什么？</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1193630485","media":"Investopedia","summary":"(March 4) When it was introduced to the world a decade ago, bitcoin was supposed to be a revolution ","content":"(March 4)&nbsp;When it was introduced to the world a decade ago, bitcoin was supposed to be a revolution in the finance ecosystem.

Revolutions within the financial ecosystem apart, there are a couple of areas in bitcoin’s ecosystem that investors should pay close attention to.<blockquote>未来十年可能会证明其在比特币发展中的重要性。除了金融生态系统内的革命之外，比特币生态系统中还有几个领域值得投资者密切关注。</blockquote>Currently, the cryptocurrency is poised between being a store of value and a medium for daily transactions.Institutional investorsare eager to get in on the action and profit from the volatility in its prices even as governments around the world, such as Japan, have declared it a valid form of payment for goods.4<blockquote>目前，加密货币介于价值储存和日常交易媒介之间。尽管日本等世界各国政府已宣布加密货币是一种有效的商品支付形式，但机构投资者仍渴望参与其中并从其价格波动中获利。4</blockquote>But problems with scaling and security have prevented both occurrences from happening. “...arguably the biggest failings for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies over the previous years lies with security,”said Chakib Bouda, CTO at Rambus—a payment firm. He is referring to the billions of dollars’ worth of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that have been stolen from exchanges by hackers. According to him, a secure bitcoin ecosystem will lead to widespread adoption. “...we expect in 10 years' time, bitcoin will become mainstream and have a remarkably different reputation,” he said.<blockquote>但是扩展和安全性方面的问题阻止了这两种情况的发生。支付公司Rambus的首席技术官Chakib Bouda表示：“……可以说，过去几年比特币和其他加密货币最大的失败在于安全性。”他指的是被黑客从交易所窃取的价值数十亿美元的比特币和其他加密货币。根据他的说法，一个安全的比特币生态系统将导致广泛采用。“……我们预计10年后，比特币将成为主流，并拥有截然不同的声誉，”他说。</blockquote>The mainstreaming of bitcoin (or, for that matter, increase in its attractiveness as an asset class) as a payment mechanism will not occur without technological improvements in its ecosystem.

Schwartz predicts that the next decade will “bring an explosion of low-cost, high-speed payments that will transform value exchange the way the Internet transformed information exchange.\"<blockquote>随着监管的发展以跟上步伐，生态系统很可能会扩大。施瓦茨预测，未来十年将“带来低成本、高速支付的爆炸式增长，这将像互联网改变信息交换一样改变价值交换。”</blockquote>So far in 2021, as of March 2021, the price of Bitcoin has topped $50,000 and traded close to $60,000. Large banks are continuing to take notice of the cryptocurrency, with Goldman Sachs reopening its crypto trading desk and BNY Mellon opening custody services for digital currencies.<blockquote>2021年迄今为止，截至2021年3月，比特币的价格已突破5万美元，交易价格接近6万美元。大型银行继续关注加密货币，高盛重新开放其加密交易部门，纽约梅隆银行开放数字货币托管服务。</blockquote>Citi saidbitcoin could be the currency of choicefor international trade.

To be considered a viable investment asset or form of payment, bitcoin’s blockchain should be able to handle millions of transactions in a short span of time. Several new technologies, such asLightning Network, promise scale in its operations.<blockquote>如果生态系统没有技术改进，比特币作为一种支付机制的主流化（或者就此而言，其作为一种资产类别的吸引力的增加）就不会发生。要被认为是一种可行的投资资产或支付形式，比特币的区块链应该能够在短时间内处理数百万笔交易。闪电网络等几项新技术有望扩大其运营规模。</blockquote>Along with improvements in bitcoin’s blockchain, Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz,compared bitcoin to Ford’s Model Tin 2018. The automobile's manufacturer&nbsp;heralded a revolution in transportation and an entire ecosystem, from highways to gas stations, evolved to serve the automobile.

Schwartz predicts that the next decade will “bring an explosion of low-cost, high-speed payments that will transform value exchange the way the Internet transformed information exchange.\"<blockquote>随着监管的发展以跟上步伐，生态系统很可能会扩大。施瓦茨预测，未来十年将“带来低成本、高速支付的爆炸式增长，这将像互联网改变信息交换一样改变价值交换。”</blockquote>So far in 2021, as of March 2021, the price of Bitcoin has topped $50,000 and traded close to $60,000.

But that revolution has hardly come to pass. The cryptocurrency’s tumultuous first decade has been marked byscandals, missteps, and wild price swings. The slump in bitcoin’s price this year has been accompanied by afusillade of criticism. But investors and the cryptocurrency’s enthusiasts have doubled down on their optimism regarding its future. As such, the coming decade could prove to be pivotal to its existence.A Compromised VisionAs set forth by its inventor Satoshi Nakamoto in a seminal paper released on Oct. 31, 2008, bitcoin was supposed to be a borderless and decentralized alternative to government- and central bank-controlled fiat currencies. Consensus regarding a transaction within the bitcoin network does not depend on third-party mediators. Instead, it is achieved with the help of blockchain—a peer-to-peer network of systems with electronic ledgers—to verify and authenticate a transaction. “The cost of mediation increases transaction costs, limiting the minimum practical transaction size and cutting off the possibility for small and casual transactions,” wrote Nakamoto to make his case for removing mediation and replacing it with a peer-to-peer network.1At the end of bitcoin’s first decade, however, that original vision seems compromised. Decentralization has given way to centralization. Bitcoin whales, or investors who have massive holdings of the cryptocurrency, are said to control its price in the markets. The democratization of printing money through mining has been sacrificed for the efficiency of massive mining farms. For example, Chinese company Bitmain, a semiconductor maker, owns 75% of the market for mining-related application-specific integrated circuits. Even bitcoin’s technology has frayed and is afflicted with scaling problems.2But those negatives are balanced by the growth of a thriving and vibrant ecosystem for crypto. The cryptocurrency market, which did not exist less than a decade ago, is currently worth $1.56 trillion.3More than 1500 cryptocurrencies have been created and are being traded onexchangessince bitcoin’s debut.3Blockchain has become a household word and is being touted as a solution to complex problems. After initial hesitation, institutional investors are alsomaking a beelinetowards crypto-assets as a form of investment.Evaluating The Next DecadeThe next decade could prove its importance in bitcoin's evolution. Revolutions within the financial ecosystem apart, there are a couple of areas in bitcoin’s ecosystem that investors should pay close attention to.Currently, the cryptocurrency is poised between being a store of value and a medium for daily transactions.Institutional investorsare eager to get in on the action and profit from the volatility in its prices even as governments around the world, such as Japan, have declared it a valid form of payment for goods.4But problems with scaling and security have prevented both occurrences from happening. “...arguably the biggest failings for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies over the previous years lies with security,”said Chakib Bouda, CTO at Rambus—a payment firm. He is referring to the billions of dollars’ worth of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that have been stolen from exchanges by hackers. According to him, a secure bitcoin ecosystem will lead to widespread adoption. “...we expect in 10 years' time, bitcoin will become mainstream and have a remarkably different reputation,” he said.The mainstreaming of bitcoin (or, for that matter, increase in its attractiveness as an asset class) as a payment mechanism will not occur without technological improvements in its ecosystem.
