When I first learned about bitcoin, I was convinced it would fail. Based on a few articles and two decades of experience as a skeptical trader, I loudly—and now regrettably—declared on CNBC’s Fast Money that bitcoin would not survive. How could it? It was not backed by any entity; it did not have a central bank; it was not accepted for taxes; and it did not have an army to enforce its use. What’s more, it was extremely volatile and had a bad reputation—all of which would contribute surely to its premature demise.ബിറ്റ്കോയിനെക്കുറിച്ച് ഞാൻ ആദ്യമായി അറിഞ്ഞപ്പോൾ, അത് പരാജയപ്പെടുമെന്ന് എനിക്ക് ബോധ്യമായി. സംശയാസ്പദമായ ഒരു വ്യാപാരി എന്ന നിലയിൽ കുറച്ച് ലേഖനങ്ങളുടെയും രണ്ട് പതിറ്റാണ്ടുകളുടെ അനുഭവത്തിന്റെയും അടിസ്ഥാനത്തിൽ, ബിറ്റ്കോയിൻ നിലനിൽക്കില്ലെന്ന് ഞാൻ ഉറക്കെ - ഇപ്പോൾ ഖേദിക്കുന്നു - സി‌എൻ‌ബി‌സിയുടെ ഫാസ്റ്റ് മണിയിൽ പ്രഖ്യാപിച്ചു. അതെങ്ങനെ? ഇതിനെ ഒരു എന്റിറ്റിയും പിന്തുണയ്ക്കുന്നില്ല; അതിന് ഒരു സെൻട്രൽ ബാങ്ക് ഇല്ലായിരുന്നു; ഇത് നികുതിക്കായി സ്വീകരിച്ചില്ല; അതിന്റെ ഉപയോഗം നടപ്പിലാക്കാൻ അതിന് ഒരു സൈന്യവും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല. എന്തിനധികം, അത് അങ്ങേയറ്റം അസ്ഥിരവും ചീത്തപ്പേരുമായിരുന്നു which എല്ലാം അതിന്റെ അകാല നിര്യാണത്തിന് തീർച്ചയായും കാരണമാകും.

a riskier asset can be added to a portfolio, and if its behavior differs significantly from the preexisting assets in that portfolio, it can actually decrease the overall risk of the portfolio - Heri Heryadihas quoted7 years agoIt is bitcoin’s scarce supply schedule that makes many think of it as digital gold
- Heri Heryadihas quoted7 years agoa key driver for humans to recognize something as valuable is its scarcity. Satoshi knew that he couldn’t issue bitcoin at a rate of 2.6 million per year forever, because it would end up with no scarcity value. Therefore, he decided that every 210,000 blocks—which at one block per 10 minutes takes four years—his program would cut in half the amount of bitcoin issued in coinbase transactions.11 This event is known as a “block reward halving” or “halving” for short.

- Heri Heryadihas quoted7 years agoThe progression of a new technology, and the way it evolves as it gains mental mindshare, is at the core of Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies (Gartner is a leading technology research and advisory firm),17 which displays five common stages of technology.
- Heri Heryadihas quoted7 years agoBitcoin’s blockchain is one of the most important blockchains in existence, and that it has given birth to a new general purpose technology that goes beyond Bitcoin.
