In the industry, after the famous Bitcoin developer Mike Hearn said that Bitcoin has failed and he has sold all his Bitcoins, Fred Wilson, co-founder of Union Square Venture, wrote that in every investment we make in Bitcoin, we will pay attention to possible problems with Bitcoin. But on the other hand, we will also pay attention to the potential of Bitcoin and the importance of this technology. Wilson said that Bitcoin has been around for six years and the Bitcoin ecosystem has received a large amount of venture capital. Investment behavior will make the Bitcoin circle return to rationality. This trend is about to appear or is already appearing. Fred Wilson admitted that at some point this year, the Bitcoin mining industry will diverge. At the same time, we will see new core developers and new rules on how the core developer team makes decisions. However, this may trigger a sharp drop in Bitcoin prices, or even more serious problems. But Wilson also pointed out that sometimes, only a crisis can bring everyone together. The US debt ceiling is such a case. The debate over the Bitcoin block size may also be resolved in this way. Therefore, if we are facing a crisis, we should take advantage of it. There is no better time than now. |
