《財富》水晶球:2014全球大事預(yù)測
????比特幣依然無法進(jìn)入日常交易環(huán)節(jié) ????盡管這種被技術(shù)自由意志主義者視為寵兒的加密貨幣在過去一年賺得了足夠多眼球,但它面臨一個重大問題:比特幣很難進(jìn)入日常的交易環(huán)節(jié)。大部分持有者將手中的比特幣藏匿在 Mt.Gox,并在這個平臺進(jìn)行交易,而不是用它來購買牙刷這樣的日常生活用品。這種情形有望在2014年出現(xiàn)變化嗎?老實(shí)說,不會。各大企業(yè)宣布“歡迎使用比特幣”的幾率如下: ????新蛋購物網(wǎng)(New Egg):40% ????亞馬遜:15% ????麥當(dāng)勞(McDonald's):5% ????美國國稅局(IRS): 1%。 |
????Bitcoin will stay irrelevant ????The hyped-up crypto-currency and darling of the techno-libertarian set has a problem: It's fairly difficult to spend bitcoins on everyday transactions. For the most part, owners horde their stash or trade it on Mt.Gox rather than use it to pay for, say, toothpaste. Will 2014 be the year that changes? Honestly, no. Here, the chances a business will announce "bitcoins welcome": ????New Egg: 40% ????Amazon.com: 15% ????McDonald's: 5% ????IRS: 1%. |
