 Digital currency is surging

Its unique decentralized and tamper-proof characteristics make Bitcoin highly sought after, and its market value has been rising all the way, heading towards the 500 billion US dollar mark.

 The logic behind the surge in Bitcoin's market value

The surge in Bitcoin's market value is not accidental, but the result of multiple factors. First of all, as the most well-known and recognized digital currency in the world, Bitcoin has been favored by a wide range of investors, with funds pouring in and market demand continuing to increase. Secondly, with the continuous development and improvement of blockchain technology, the transaction speed and security of Bitcoin have been further improved, attracting the attention and participation of more institutional investors. Furthermore, the global macroeconomic environment has also promoted the growth of Bitcoin's market value. In particular, in the context of increasing economic uncertainty, digital currency has become the first choice for safe-haven assets, which has further promoted the rise of Bitcoin's market value.

As 2020 is coming to an end, American investors are still on Christmas vacation. Bitcoin continues to break upward, breaking through 26,000, 27,000, 28,000... Today, it has refreshed the historical record. As of press time, according to Coingecko data, Bitcoin is reported at $27,606.16 per coin.

A netizen commented on Bitcoin's recent performance: It broke through $25,000 per coin on the 25th, $26,000 per coin on the 26th, and $27,000 per coin on the 27th. I seem to have discovered something incredible.

At present, the total circulation value of Bitcoin exceeds US$500 billion, which is approximately RMB 3.27 trillion, which is RMB 1 trillion higher than Kweichow Moutai, the company with the highest market value in the A-share market, and is one-fifth of the market value of Apple, the world's highest-valued listed company. The Winklevoss brothers reiterated their views this month that the market value of Bitcoin will exceed the $7 trillion market value of gold, and the current total circulation value of Bitcoin is nearly 7% of the total market value of gold.

Do you think Bitcoin will maintain its recent growth rate and break through $30,000 per coin by the end of the year?

Wan Hui, co-founder of Primitive Ventures, was also amazed by the rise of Bitcoin today, and reiterated her views one month ago on Weibo, "Many people are waiting for the imagined 30% correction. They will not be truly fome until Bitcoin reaches $30,000."

The long-short game in the contract market today is relatively fierce. According to Coin data, the short side's liquidation amount hit the second highest in the month, second only to the short side's liquidation of $563 million on December 17. Today, the short side's liquidation amount is nearly $300 million, and the long-short liquidation ratio is 1.16. Today, the total market liquidation amount in 24 hours was 542 million yuan, which is at a relatively high position in the month.

The main driving force of this round of Bitcoin bull market comes from overseas institutions. Overseas analysts have different opinions on the future trend of Bitcoin.

Venture capitalist and founder of DFJ Tim
Draper said that BTC will reach 10 times the current price by the end of 2022 or early 2023. Large asset management institutions such as Guggenheim and MassMutual Life Insurance Company of the United States have recently bought Bitcoin.

Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group, said that half of its Bitcoin assets have been sold.

In addition, the famous economist Nouriel Roubini recently pointed out that the Bitcoin bubble will eventually be destroyed.

Will gold enter a bull market? Goldman Sachs believes that Bitcoin will not replace gold

There are two basic views on the current round of institutional bulls in Bitcoin, one is inflation expectations, and the other is digital gold.

As of the close of last week, the international gold price is still volatile, but generally speaking, gold has rebounded significantly in December, once rebounding to around $1,900 per ounce, up about 25% from the beginning of the year. Some analysts expect gold prices to hit a new high next year.

Kevin O'Leary, chairman of O'Shares ETFs, believes that gold as a hedge against inflation will not be replaced by Bitcoin soon. Steve Hanke, professor of applied economics at Johns Hopkins University, said that commodities including gold have seen initial signs of a long-term bull market super cycle.

Citigroup recently gave a target price for gold, believing that if gold is above $1,875/ounce, it will continue to rise to $1,921/ounce.

In addition, Goldman Sachs recently wrote an article on Bitcoin and gold, believing that the two can coexist, although Bitcoin may squeeze the safe-haven demand for gold, and large institutions and wealthy investors are basically away from Bitcoin due to the "transparency problem" of digital currency.

Goldman Sachs pointed out that since the first blockade, the rise of Bitcoin has been closely related to the rise of copper, which is a key indicator of global economic growth. In Goldman Sachs' view, Bitcoin is just a retail reflation transaction, while gold is a defensive asset with long-term real capital preservation. The recent sell-off of gold is closer to a vaccine-driven risk preference cycle than abandoning gold as a tool to hedge against depreciation risks. Therefore, Goldman Sachs expects the gold ETF to be rebuilt in early 2021.

However, it is worth noting that the challenges and risks faced by Bitcoin with a market value of more than 500 billion US dollars cannot be ignored. On the one hand, the volatility of the digital currency market is large, and price fluctuations may bring greater investment risks, and investors need to be cautious. On the other hand, the uncertainty of regulatory policies has also brought certain uncertainties to the digital currency market, which may affect the stable growth of Bitcoin's market value. Therefore, when investors are chasing the dream of Bitcoin's market value exceeding 500 billion US dollars, they also need to keep a clear head and do a good job of risk control.
