It's not that Bitcoin is willing, mainly because people's understanding of new things always needs to be linked to things that people are familiar with to understand better. For example, the label born by the iPhone is definitely not a "mobile Internet terminal", but a "touch screen mobile phone"; the label born by Tesla is also "electric vehicle", not any other higher-end term; Fast 4G", everything is better understood.
So after the birth of Bitcoin, people will also think about how to better understand it? Someone thought of the term "digital gold". It is a great word, which allows people who have never been in contact with Bitcoin to have a preliminary understanding of Bitcoin: it is a new type of gold that exists on the Internet.But those who nicknamed Bitcoin "digital gold" must have never imagined that Bitcoin could really be on an equal footing with gold one day.Before many people realized it, the total market value of Bitcoin has actually reached 1/10 of that of gold.The current total market value of gold is about ten trillion US dollars.The total market capitalization of Bitcoin is roughly $1 trillion.When Bitcoin rose to $500,000, Bitcoin was completely on par with gold.
Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought that Bitcoin, a new-generation asset, is only 13 years old, and it is so close to the big brother that has been around for thousands of years? In the Internet age, everything is accelerating.So why is Bitcoin better than gold? We've talked about this many times. More decentralized, more portable, more censorship resistant, more liquid, etc.I saw a new perspective yesterday though, not bad either:In the case of "re-taking the golden road", Bitcoin will have one of the most important benefits to be obtained in the future, and that is to be allocated by the national central bank.
Of course, it's not that easy. However, the central banks obviously do not have enough gold as a reserve. If they can transfer to a new asset, is it equivalent to opening a "new server" and sending out a lot of currency?However, at present, the currency mainly depends on the credit, and the anchor assets are actually not so important.Therefore, the main battlefield of Bitcoin is financial institutions and listed companies. Compared with gold, Bitcoin is more favored by enterprises because it is anti-inflation, because it is cooler and more imaginative.
Is Gold Anti-Inflation? Judging from the past ten years, the past five years, and the past year, gold is obviously inferior to Bitcoin.Gold was 1300 ten years ago, and now it is 1700. The price of this thing has not risen as much as the price of the buns downstairs. How can it resist inflation?Cash cow technology companies such as Tesla definitely prefer Bitcoin.Another piece of news yesterday:Of course, Bill Gates himself has a great influence as the richest man, but what is more influential is that his concept of Bitcoin will have a very important impact on the decision-making of Microsoft, a giant company in the US stock market.As we all know, our biggest hope for the next technology company to buy bitcoin is Apple, followed by Amazon and Microsoft. Either way, it's a huge feast for Bitcoin.
But now that the soul of Microsoft has changed his view of Bitcoin, and said it publicly, then all this is worth pondering.At least, they can start to think about it, right?I hope that in the next ten years, I can see the top ten technology companies all embrace Bitcoin, and I can see that Bitcoin is really close to the market value of gold.Finally, share an interesting story from yesterday:But Bin is quite famous. Although his reputation seems to be mediocre, he must be a "traffic star" in the stock market, especially the conservative investors who have been famous for buying Moutai have embraced Bitcoin today.Maybe he can lead many stockholders to re-understand Bitcoin, after all, he is a big V with tens of millions of fans.
