1. The concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. It is a kind of P2P digital currency. Unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of money circulation. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity
it is this scarcity that makes the price of bitcoin soar all the way in the near future. However, there are different voices about the future development trend of bitcoin and whether it is worth investing
[bitcoin investment is the most risky investment you can make at present]
bitcoin.com is one of the largest bitcoin websites in the world. Due to the soaring price of bitcoin, the website has achieved great development this year. But Emil Oldenburg, its co-founder and chief technology officer, is skeptical about the future of bitcoin
in an interview with breakit, a Swedish technology website, he said: "I would like to say that bitcoin investment is the most risky investment you can make at present. There are extremely high risks in it." "In fact, I recently sold all of my bitcoin in exchange for bitcoin cash," he said Bitcoin cash, a derivative separated from bitcoin in August this year, has recently overtaken Ethernet as the world's second largest cryptocurrency“ When people figure out how bitcoin works, they start selling bitcoin. " Oldenburg once again stressed doubts about the future of the bitcoin“ He doesn't believe that bitcoin will become the kind of everyday currency that the world has always wanted
[if people invest in bitcoin, they are ready to "lose all their money"]
on December 19, according to foreign media reports, the head of a major British financial regulatory agency warned that if people invest in bitcoin, they are ready to "lose all their money". It also shows the opposition of the British financial regulator to the bitcoin. Andrew Bailey, director of the financial market conct authority, told the BBC that neither the central bank nor the government supports "money", so it is not a safe investment
buying bitcoin is similar to gambling and has the same level of risk, he said. "It's not a currency, it's not actually managed in the form of bitcoin," Bailey told Newsnight“ In terms of pricing, it's a very volatile commodity. If you look at what happened this year, I would remind people that we know very little about the price of the bitcoin. This is a strange commodity because the stock is fixed. If you want to invest in bitcoin, you should be prepared to lose money, which will be my serious warning. "
[next year we will see central banks start to hold digital currencies for the first time]
Peter Smith, founder and CEO of blockchain, a cryptocurrency wallet, said that it is expected that central banks around the world will start to hold digital currencies as reserve assets next year, and some central banks may start to issue their own "digital assets"
in an interview with CNBC, Smith said: "I think next year we will see, for the first time, central banks starting to hold digital currencies as part of their balance sheets." Mr Smith said central banks would be likely to buy bitcoin and Ethernet as reserve assets. Central banks now hold gold and foreign exchange reserves to allow them to act in the event of any market shock. The appreciation of bitcoin as an asset may mean that some monetary authorities will have to start holding the digital currency. "Bitcoin is already one of the top 30 currencies in supply, and as prices rise, this trend and the pressure to hold digital currencies as reserve assets will only rise," Smith said This view shows its optimistic attitude towards bitcoin and other digital currencies
as for whether bitcoin is worth investing, we can only say that every investor has his own vision and judgment.
