“13 years ago, Bitcoin was released. Although its creation received little fanfare, attracting the attention and attention of only a few esoteric coders, its release would prove monumental, allowing anyone, anywhere in the world to access digitally scarce money for the first time and opening the door to the protocols to be used. to support the next iteration of the web.”
Hassan Bassiri, vice president of portfolio management at Arca Funds:
“BTC is a gateway drug that opens everyone's eyes to how big a digital asset really is. As the BTC ecosystem grows and becomes a more productive asset in terms of lending/borrowing and earning, we can expect more entrants, research, and opportunities with other currencies and blockchains.”
Laura Vidiella, business development strategist and former vice president of institutional sales at Paradigm:
“The BTC ecosystem will continue to see increased growth in both products and capital in 2022. With offerings increasing in derivative and structured products, traditional entities are mobilizing more capital by investing in the payoff strategies they are familiar with.”

“His creation transcends time zones, borders, and governments — and financially empowers millions of people around the world.
