Cardano founder doubts Bitcoin's future as world reserve currency


 

Cardano's founder doesn't believe Bitcoin has what it takes to become the world's leading currency.


Charles Hoskinson stated in a recent interview that he didn't think Bitcoin would become the world reserve currency. According to the founder of Cardano, a cryptocurrency with smart contract features would become the global reserve currency.


Hoskinson believes Cardano or Ethereum would become the world reserve currency. A global reserve currency must offer services like smart contracts, metadata standards, and improved throughput that complete enormous transactions per second.


According to the Cardano founder , the scarcity of Bitcoin is due to the high cost of production:


"If you make paintings, one of which you have to paint by hand and the other by machine, and both look the same and the demand for both is the same, then the effort for one is a thousand times greater than for the other."


Hoskinson spoke about Bitcoin's massive energy consumption, adding that the cryptocurrency industry should focus on efficient alternatives with less energy consumption.


Although Bitcoin does not currently have any smart contract features, it could soon be integrated. Jack Dorsey, CEO of Block (formerly known as Square), has previously stated that his company is working to add decentralized finance capabilities to the Bitcoin ecosystem.


This would mean that the Bitcoin blockchain has a smart contract and similar features. Bitcoin remains the leading cryptocurrency in the world, accounting for more than 40% of the total cryptocurrency market cap.


The cryptocurrency market has underperformed over the past few days. The total cryptocurrency market cap is currently around $1.7 trillion compared to the $2 trillion recorded last week.


Bitcoin is trading around the $42,000 region and has lost more than 2% of its value in the last 24 hours. ADA, the native token of the Cardano ecosystem, is up less than 1% so far today and is currently trading at $1.05.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Costly Mistake: Cryptocom mistakenly sent $10 million to a woman

  Crypto .com made headlines again after mistakenly transferring $10 million to a client's company. This isn't the first time crypto exchanges have accidentally sent users the wrong amount. What is special about this case is that it took a long time for the company to notice the error. According to a report in Australia's Herald Sun, the Australian who received the money is known as Thevamanogari Manivel. According to the report, Manivel had already expected a $100 refund in May 2021, but the amount was much higher. Further inspection showed that whoever processed the refund made the mistake of sending Manivel's phone number instead of the actual refund enter 100 USD. It wasn't until December 2021, seven months later, that Crypto.com realized an expensive mistake had happened. An audit conducted on the crypto exchange at the end of the year uncovered the error. Crypto.com made efforts to recover the money. However, when they checked Manivel's accounts, most of t...
