比特币的完美受控实验2021-06-11 09:53:40作者：黄小鹏黄小鹏证券时报记者就在中国、印度等国对比特币进行围追堵截，美国政府从黑客手中追回比特币让其安全性神话备受质疑的当口，比特币迎来了它的重大利好：人口仅600多万的中美洲不发达国家萨尔瓦多通过法律，第一个宣布赋予比特币法定清偿货币地位。比特币在该国将可以像现行法定清偿货币美元一样对商品标价、媒介买卖、偿还债务、缴纳税收，政府还将提供便捷条件以让国民实时在美元与比特币之间转换。萨尔瓦多成为比特币完全合法化的第一个吃螃蟹者，推测起来有三个原因：一是想借比特币来实现金融服务“超车”。萨尔瓦多人均GDP4000美元出头，七成老百姓没有银行账户，如果手握一部手机就有一个比特币账号，并借此接触金融服务，岂不是“科技以人为本”？据报道，萨尔瓦多已经在国家层面上与一家叫Strike的公司合作，做好了为国民建立比特币钱包的技术准备。这种推动金融普惠性的思路，印度也有过，前些年印度也采取了一些政策让穷人迅速接触到移动支付，区别在于印度搞的是手机电子支付，其媒介仍然是传统货币。二是发展比特币相关的经济，该国计划利用火山发电并建立挖矿工业园，比特币合法化对此有推动作用，甚至不排除有赌比特币升值进而为国添财为民造富的动机。走偏门是小经济体的普遍现象，不奇怪。三是萨尔瓦多没有自己的货币。萨尔瓦多在宏观经济政策和管理货币方面的成绩糟糕，为了恢复经济运行秩序，20多年前它和巴拿马、厄瓜多尔一道彻底放弃了本国货币而采用美元作为法定货币。反正没有自己的货币，美元和比特币都是外来物，让两者“同台竞技”自然没什么意识形态障碍。成为萨尔瓦多的“法定清偿货币”对比特币意味着什么呢？长期以来，比特币的信徒和骗局论者针锋相对，谁也无法说服谁，比特币信徒认为，正是由于比特币会从政府手中夺走关键权力，所以才会受到打压，这次萨尔瓦多政府赋予比特币完全正式货币地位

Now, a team at Goldman Sachs is telling retail investors that the digital currency isn’t worthy of most portfolios—at least not yet.\nIn a new report to private-wealth management clients, Goldman’s Investment Strategy Group (ISG) noted that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies fail to meet the criteria it believes determine whether an asset class is “investable.”\n“While the digital asset ecosystem may well revolutionize the future of everything,” the team wrote, “that does not imply that cryptocurrencies are an investable asset class.”\nGoldman’s ISG team applies five criteria to determine whether an asset, including Bitcoin, is a sound investment—and requires at least three to be met:\n• Generate steady, reliable cash flow on a contractual basis, like bonds\n• Generate earnings through exposure to economic growth, like equities\n• Provide consistent and reliable diversification benefits to a portfolio\n• Dampen volatility\n• Provide consistent and reliable evidence of hedging inflation or deflation as a store of value\nBitcoin fell short in each criteria. And the team pointed out that data on cryptocurrency has been limited and sometimes of “poor” quality.\nThe note comes as Goldman is expanding its crypto offerings to institutional clients. Earlier this year, Goldman’s investment bank launched a cryptocurrency trading desk that focused on Bitcoin. In the coming months, the bank will offer ether options and futures to its clients, Bloomberg reported.\nFor typical investors who lack the assets or access to portfolio strategies that would allow them to stomach volatility, cryptos don’t make much sense. Nor are they likely to add value to as a strategic asset class for consumer and private-wealth clients, the ISG team wrote.\nBy the team’s measure, based on Bitcoin’s “risk, return and uncertainty characteristics,” a 1% allocation to the crypto in a moderate-risk portfolio would have to generate an annual return of 165% to make sense in a portfolio. A 2% allocation would require 365% annual return. But over the last seven years Bitcoin has delivered an annualized return of 69%.\nJust a few months ago, Bitcoin traded as high as $60,000.The recent drops occurred even as the number of Bitcoins has increased, meaning the total market capitalization lost has been much greater.\n“Someone bought Bitcoin at peak prices in April 2021 and someone sold at the lower prices later in May, so some real value was actually lost,” the team wrote.\nAlso of concern to the team is the security of cryptocurrencies. There have been instances where investors’ private keys have been stolen, so they can’t access their coins. Hacking and cyberattacks occur in the so-called “traditional financial system,” too, but investors have more recourse. In the case of cryptocurrencies, once a key is stolen, the investor generallydoesn’t have a central authority to appeal to to recoup their assets—in other words, “not your keys, not your coins.”","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":169305723,"gmtCreate":1623815907262,"gmtModify":1634027660381,"author":{"id":"3574905664857654","authorId":"3574905664857654","name":"Valpaca","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3574905664857654","authorIdStr":"3574905664857654"},"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/169305723","repostId":1169657028,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1169657028","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623803407,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1169657028?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-16 08:30","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin Is a Fail for Retail Investors, Goldman Sachs Team Warns","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1169657028","media":"Barrons","summary":"As Bitcoin soared to new highs over the past year, many wondered if they should invest in it.
