Bitcoin Anniversary
Bitcoin Anniversary- Bitcoin has come a long way in just 10 short years. Despite the bitcoin price struggling to regain its highs this year, the long-term trend is hard to ignore.
The bitcoin price is up a ridiculous 10.6 million percent since CoinDeskbegan tracking it back in July 2010 — rising from 0.06 cents to $6,421 over that time.
Next week, on October 31, it will be the 10th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto’s release of the bitcoin whitepaper — leading many to look ahead to what the next 10 years will bring.
Bitcoin has dominated investor interest over the last ten years, but that could be very different in the coming decade.
It’s only in the last five or so years that bitcoin has had any major competitors. Ethereum, the world’s second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, was first conceived in 2013.
Since then, hundreds of cryptocurrencies have exploded onto the scene, many of which were born and died in the cryptocurrency gold rush of 2017.
Bitcoin has maintained its so-called dominance over the sector, however. Bitcoin dominance — its share of the total cryptocurrency market capitalization — hit year-to-date highs in mid-September. Though it has fallen somewhat from those highs, it has remained above 50%.
Bitcoin dominance barely dipped below 80% until March last year, according to CoinMarketCap data. But it has lost ground to the likes of ethereum, ripple (XRP), bitcoin cash, litecoin, and dash since then.
“I believe that bitcoin’s influence and dominance of the cryptocurrency sector will drastically reduce in its second decade,” said Nigel Green, founder and CEO of deVere Group, a financial advisory group.
“This is because as mass adoption of cryptocurrency grows, more and more digital assets will be launched – by organizations in both the private and the public sectors. This will increase competition for bitcoin and dent its market share.”
Green expects the bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency market will expand by “at least” 5,000% in the next 10 years — meaning it could be worth $20 trillion, up from $400 billion today.
