What is the future of bitcoin
1. The advantages of bitcoin are exaggerated: About decentralization, no transaction costs and anti inflation
it is true that bitcoin has various advantages over paper money, but these advantages have been over interpreted. First of all, bitcoin is a kind of decentralized currency, which will not have the same risk of central bank controlling money supply and affecting market value as paper money; Bitcoin is mainly held in the hands of large investors, and the market depth is not enough. At present, the trading behavior of large investors is also very easy to affect the price of bitcoin. Even if the attribute of decentralization is regarded as the advantage of bitcoin when it is fully mature, then the prerequisite of holding decentralization should be added. In addition, there are great differences between centralized and decentralized online payment systems in the degree and type of financial risks they are exposed to
secondly, the low transaction cost of bitcoin is not without transaction cost. On the contrary, e to the increasing difficulty of bitcoin mining and the further stability of currency value, the dependence of relevant transaction platforms on transaction cost will increase, which will certainly increase the transaction cost. Finally, the confidentiality of the bitcoin transaction needs to be discussed. The principle of the bitcoin transaction makes all the processes of each bitcoin transaction stored in each machine. If someone can determine the real background of a transaction, they can find all the transactions down and up through these data
compared with other advantages, anti inflation or anti inflation is the most publicized advantage. Although its supply is stable and the upper limit of supply is locked according to its algorithm, unless the whole world is unified and all countries use bits as currency, it can not prevent the over issuance of money only as a means of payment or a storage of value, just as the current existence of gold can not constrain the growth of each country's currency. If bits can only be used as a means of payment in local areas (such as the network), then global or some countries' inflation will still be transmitted to the areas where bits are used. Therefore, the use of bits to prevent inflation is basically untenable, or has a strong premise. As for anti inflation, that is to say, it has the function of value storage, it needs to have the property similar to gold. However, from the reality, bit's essential property and prospect are still hard to match gold. See below for details
2. Bitcoin's future positioning is too high
the expectation of bitcoin's future in the market generally compares it with gold and US dollar, which is relatively high. The recognition of gold not only lies in its natural physical properties, but also in its official acceptance as a reserve currency (or an important allocation of foreign exchange assets). In theory, bitcoin as an electronic currency does not have the unique and exclusive status, and it is more difficult to become the official reserve of central banks like gold. Therefore, it is not appropriate to expect too much bit. As an electronic currency, bit has the first mover advantage. If it can be guaranteed in terms of security, its most optimistic prospect will be as a means of payment in local areas
3. Speculation and speculative demand caused by event factors are the main reasons for the rise of bitcoin in this round
under the credit currency system, people's lack of confidence in the currencies of various countries and pessimistic economic prospects are the general environment for the rise of bitcoin in this round. The speculation of the major dealers in the market and the derivatives market of bitcoin, together with the speculative psychology of the participants, further accelerated its rise. Btcchina's investment of US $5 million and the announcement of Ben's position are the main driving factors for the recent surge
however, a lot of big players start to enter the market and buy a lot, which not only drives the bit price up to a high level, but also increases the market risk. Chamath, a former Facebook executive, has spent $5 million on bitcoin and plans to spend another $10 million. Bitcoin investment trust also exceeded its target within four weeks, raising $15 million. These people's investments not only make bitcoin further rise, but also concentrate on the holding of bitcoin, which strengthens the influence of indivials and institutions on the price of bitcoin and increases the market risk
4. There is still strong room for speculation in the medium and short term
although our previous analysis is not optimistic about the prospect of bit, it is likely that bit will still have strong room for speculation in such a short and medium term period of time as one year. As mentioned in the previous analysis, the creators of bitcoin advocate that the generation of bitcoin is not manipulated by human factors, which is quite different from the credit currencies of various countries. We expect that the monetary policies of major countries will be divided next year. With the release of economic risks and the heavy damage to traditional asset markets, bitcoin will have better room for speculation and imagination< The use of bitcoin in some sensitive areas highlights the increasingly prominent role of information in national security
the U.S. government seized the drug trading website "Silk Road" at the beginning of last month. A crowdfunding network called "assassination market" even marked the sale of murderers with bitcoin price. The founder of the assassin market, under the pseudonym of kuwabatake Sanjuro, is an extreme anarchist. Both prism gate incident and the use of bitcoin in relevant sensitive fields highlight the increasingly prominent position of information field in national security. The Third Plenary Session proposed the establishment of the national security committee, which will play an important role in China's security strategy and expand from traditional national defense, stability maintenance / urban security to information security and other emerging areas
blockchain is a good thing, but it must run in a controlled environment
bitcoin will die sooner or later.
1. The number of investors (players). Only when more players are involved, can the digital currency have sustained internal momentum. Due to the large circulation of Ruibo currency, more, high-quality and powerful investors are needed to join in order to have more appreciation space
2. Affected by the global (International and domestic) investment environment. As we all know, digital currency investment is a high-risk investment or speculative investment. If the real estate instry or other fields develop stably, I believe many investors will choose the latter. If the stock market, real estate, futures and other fields pick up in 2020, I believe that the bear market in the field of digital currency will continue, but the periodic small rise and fall need to be grasped
3. With a large circulation of reborn currency, it is unlikely that a big banker will control the stock market, but it is a fatal injury to digital assets with a small circulation
at present, Ruibo currency is the currency with the most stable rise and fall in the currency circle. There are no big ups and downs. The trend in 2020 also depends on the big investment environment. At present, the overall economic development is relatively decadent, so the currency circle should not have too much rise. It is also a good choice to grasp the stage in time. The above is only personal views, not for investment reference.
2. Bitcoin is e-cash similar to e-mail. Both parties need "bitcoin wallet" similar to e-mail and "bitcoin address" similar to e-mail address. Just like sending and receiving e-mail, the remitter pays bitcoin directly to the other party through a computer or smart phone according to the recipient's address. The concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, open source software was designed and released, and P2P network was built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system.
In early August, bitcoin 24mining, a cryptocurrency investment boutique, launched a price forecasting model, which uses bitcoin mining machine learning software of bitcoin 24mining in Python. As the upstarts say, burgercrypto revealed in their model that they expect bitcoin to fall to a low of $8000 in October 2019
when the model was released, analysts called on BTC to restore its upward trend to a new historical high of more than $20000. However, as you may already know, bitcoin 24mining's machine learning based bitcoin mining model has proved to be correct. With the increasing bear market pressure, BTC fell to $7700 at the beginning of this month
as shown above, the model shows that bitcoin fell to about $8000 at the beginning of October when it bottomed out, began to rise, entered Halloween / early November, and then soared to an all-time high
this may be realized in the very distant future, but now it seems that it may still belong to the Arabian Nights
in my opinion, the most important field in the future is the application of currency
especially for the application of payment system, such as bitpay, with the application of similar bitcoin payment system to the market, bitcoin can be circulated and applied to the whole world
this is a point I am more concerned about, payment system. Over time, I think bitcoin is a very interesting "technology" in this century.
