Post na blogu EBC twierdzi, że to jest „Bitcoin„Ostatni bastion”, urzędnicy twierdzą, że BTC zmierza w kierunku „nieistotności”
On Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2022, a blog post published by the European Central Bank (ECB) discusses bitcoin and the authors Ulrich Bindseil and Jürgen Schaaf seem to believe its “bitcoin’s last stand.” The ECB authors further say that while bitcoin’s price has consolidated and stabilized, the central bank officials remarked that “it is an artificially induced last gasp before the road to irrelevance.”
Members of Europe’s Central Bank Believe They Predicted Bitcoin Would Be Heading Toward ‘Irrelevance’ Before FTX Went Bust
Two members of Europe’s central bank, Ulrich Bindseil, the director general of the ECB’s market infrastructure and payments division, and Jürgen Schaaf, an advisor to the ECB’s payments sector, published a blog post about the leading crypto asset bitcoin (BTC).
Wpis na blogu EBC nosi tytuł „BitcoinOstatni bastion”, a autorzy twierdzą, że aktywa kryptograficzne stają się nieistotne. Bindseil i Schaaf wyjaśniają to BTC’s price has dropped 76% lower than the $69K all-time high, and the authors have noticed bitcoin proponents think BTC bierze „oddech w drodze na nowe wyżyny”.
The ECB authors do not believe this will be the case this time around. “More likely, however, it is an artificially induced last gasp before the road to irrelevance,” the ECB blog post’s authors insist. “And this was already foreseeable before FTX went bust and sent the bitcoin price to well below USD16,000.”
The members of the European Central Bank further opine that “bitcoin has never been used to any significant extent for legal real-world transactions.” The ECB’s blog post adds:
Bitcoin is also not suitable as an investment. It does not generate cash flow (like real estate) or dividends (like equities), cannot be used productively (like commodities) or provide social benefits (like gold). The market valuation of Bitcoin is therefore based purely on speculation.
ECB Officials Say Banks That Promote Bitcoin Bear ‘Reputational Risk,’ Blog Post Insists Regulation Does Not Represent ‘Approval’
The authors don’t necessarily use the terms, but Bindseil and Schaaf relate bitcoin to a Ponzi or pyramid scheme, as the authors stress that “speculative bubbles rely on new money flowing in.”
"Duża Bitcoin investors have the strongest incentives to keep the euphoria going,” the blog post’s writers insist. While regulatory policy has grown around cryptocurrency assets, the two ECB officials believe that “regulation can be misunderstood as approval.” Bindseil and Schaaf are not too keen on the idea that the crypto space should be allowed to innovate “at all costs.”
Bitcoin’s innovative value, the ECB authors say has been very little compared to the risks that allegedly outweigh innovation. The ECB paper states:
Po pierwsze, technologie te do tej pory tworzyły ograniczoną wartość dla społeczeństwa – bez względu na to, jak wielkie były oczekiwania na przyszłość. Po drugie, zastosowanie obiecującej technologii nie jest warunkiem wystarczającym wartości dodanej produktu na niej opartego.
Lastly, the central bank executives think that banks that promote bitcoin will bear reputational risk. The ECB members say that because they believe bitcoin is not a suitable investment nor a payment system, “it should be treated as neither in regulatory terms and thus should not be legitimised.”
Wpis na blogu Bindseila i Schaafa jest bardzo podobny do opinii posiadanych przez takich ludzi Peter Schiff, Charlie Mungeroraz setki tzw bitcoin nekrologi publikowane przez lata. Pomimo opinii EBC jest wiele osób, artykułów naukowych i firm, które całym sercem nie zgadzają się z dwoma dyrektorami banku centralnego.
Światowy lider blockchain w EY, Paul Brody, ostatnio powiedziany że ta zima kryptograficzna jest „znacznie łagodniejszą zimą kryptograficzną niż poprzednia”. Brody powiedział również, że wahania cen kryptowalut mają obecnie znacznie mniejszy wpływ na rozwój branży. „Po raz pierwszy w historii wzrosty i spadki cen nie mają tak dużego wpływu na długoterminowy wzrost branży” — stwierdził Brody.
Ponadto, papier published by Matthew Ferranti, a Harvard Ph.D. candidate in economics, says that banks should hold a little bitcoin. Ferranti said that even central banks should consider holding bitcoin, and more specifically, central banks struggling with financial sanctions depending on the financial institution’s accessibility to gold reserves.
