Bitcoin can replace cash in 10 years

Bitcoin returns to the main strip major publications. The world's largest bitcoin's break of $ 10 000 per BTC, returning to the powerful 200 day movement average support in 9800 dollars. Last week . Don't forget that bitcoin will only have 21 million bitcoins original (and sometimes even less) and it should push its value above the sky, above the clouds.

It is no Coincidence that the rally that begins now erupted after the end of the tax calculations. Many investors in Bitcoin and altcoins, probably eliminated some of their stockpiles before the deadline to cover the taxes on capital gains from last year, and is now back in the trade. By the end of April Bitcoin is up more than 33% after a fall.

Against the background of price movements Goldman Sachs and Barclays are talking about the creation of trading desks with cryptocurrencies. CEO Nasdaq adena Friedman said last week that the Nasdaq will break into the cryptocurrency mess, when it's the right time, and that "digital currency is not going anywhere".

As you can see, the cryptocurrency market gradually Matures and is increasingly adopted as an asset class. We are still at a very early stage, and the recent calls that "bitcoin is dead", not to mention the General negative background in relation to Bitcoin in the media, shockingly premature.

I'm optimistic as a bull, but I don't think BTC will reach the level of 20,000 dollars in the shortest time possible, especially until July. Yes, the cryptocurrency even a month — a great time. It was in July, the Finance Ministers of "big twenty" will present its recommendations on the regulation of cryptocurrencies.

The regulation will not necessarily be the sentence for a cryptocurrency, especially if honest and reasonable. Good rules will stir up a wave of investors, who still watched them from the balcony without joining action.

Institutional investors, had not even thought to enter, and that hedge funds, financial firms and other big guys. A recent study by Thomson Reuters showed that every fifth company plans to trade aldonaj this year. Of these, about 70% said they will enter trades in the next three to six months. Obviously, an increasing number of large investors see cryptocurrency the opportunity to display their talents. More precisely, the cryptocurrency market is too large to pass, it not he washed his hands.

More and more money will flow into the form of venture capital, which is interested in startups dedicated to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. In the three months since February, the volume of capital flows into the blockchain-business, exceeded the average line at $ 55 million per month, which was formed within three years. The momentum created.

It's not just the "dumb money". Bloomberg reports that a successful venture capital firm Venrock Associates ready to start spekulirovat in this area. Venrock (a compound from "venture" and "Rockefeller") was founded in 1969 by members of the wealthy Rockefeller family, and since investing in a wildly profitable companies including Apple and Intel.

One of the most ardent cryptoendoliths — venture capitalist Tim Draper, who at the time invested in Hotmail (since purchased by Microsoft and renamed to Outlook), Skype (also bought by Microsoft) and Tesla (not yet bought by Microsoft). Tim Draper believes that Bitcoin will do more for humanity than the industrial revolution.

He also reiterated that BTC will trade for 250 000 dollars per coin within the next four years, and predicted that Fiat currency will disappear much faster than expected.

"four years later you try to buy a coffee for a buck and laugh at you, because you are not using the crypt," he said.

Of Course, bold statements of Draper you can Shogunate. But don't forget what a great war on the nose: the war for cash, which will be between Central bankers, economists, politicians and crypto-currencies.

To prevent attempts to Finance terrorism and drug trafficking, the Eurozone has declined from 500 Euro banknote. India did the same thing with 500 and 1000 rupees for the fight against corruption. Sweden, one of the first countries to actively glances to crypto-currencies can be the first to destroy paper currency in favor of electronic payment systems.

The Days of hundred-dollar greenbacks in the US may be numbered. Their disappearance will impact not only on America but also on other countries, in which the "Benjamins" in the course. More than three quarters of all hundred dollar bills are in circulation outside the United States.

Ban large banknotes can be well planned, but ultimately destroys the economic freedom of people. Growing demand for other liquid assets and "alternative technologies for making payments," as they called the Federal Bank of Chicago. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and their younger brothers can easily fill that niche. Today in the United States in circulation of 1.59 trillion of cash. This number may be reduced threefold in ten years as the proliferation of altcoins.

In the near future there will be replacement money, which is quickly replacing cash as the primary means of payment. Whether it's Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency. Yes, they have many faults, but they disappear with the development of vnepochechny technologies like Lightning Network and other solutions at scale.

So Tim Draper, most likely, the rights.
