Bitcoin can not solve the problems of traditional payment systems. Version bankers
Source:
The representative of the Central Bank of Spain believes that it is not able to solve the problems of traditional payment systems. Such an opinion in his report was expressed by the Deputy Director General of the Bank's financial innovation and market infrastructures Carlos Wheels. However, as Cointelegraph writes that the report is marked in the registry as «random document». And this means that the Bank itself does not necessarily support this view.
Wheels compared Bitcoin with the traditional payment systems and financial intermediaries. As he says, the Bitcoin blockchain handles only 250 thousand transactions per day, and in a global sense this is a very small volume. For example, the largest Spanish retail system Sistema Nacional de Compensación Electrónica (SNCE) in 2017 daily processed about 7.2 million payments.
Additionally, the miners have to confirm every transaction in the Bitcoin network, and it slows down the transaction speed and often unpredictable. Thus PoW actually limits the ability of the entire system instead of the new benefits. In the report of the Wheel also notes the lack of governance and coordination, which hinders the improvement of the system.
In his opinion, the combination of public and private keys is a very unreliable system vulnerable to various types of fraud. Moreover, after the loss of the private key, the user will never be able to regain access to their money.
Overall, the report pretty much reflects the mood of many other skeptics. For example, the opinion of the Wheel is very agree with the statements of the perennial criticism of Bitcoin Nouriel Roubini, which is very centralized cryptocurrency phenomenon.
It is Unlikely that Bitcoin in its current iteration will have a significant impact on the financial sector and will become an alternative to traditional payment systems.
