#比特币白皮书16周年

When it comes to new technologies such as cryptocurrency, blockchain, and AI artificial intelligence,

we must take a look back at the development of the internet:

1960s: The birth of the ARPA network, which first connected computers.

1970s: The birth of the TCP/IP protocol, which ensured data transmission between networks.

1980s: The birth of the commercial internet, where businesses began using the internet as a tool for data transmission.

1990s: The rise of the internet, with increasing personal use.

2000s: Rapid development of internet technology, introduction of emerging products such as smartphones and social networks.

2010s: Rapid development of technologies such as cloud computing, mobile internet, and the Internet of Things, which had a profound impact on the internet.

It is divided into four stages:

1. Budding Stage

2. Growth Stage

3. Explosion Stage

4. Stable Stage

In the first stage, most people do not understand it, have not been exposed to it, and even fear, worry, and resist it. They can hardly imagine how rapidly this technology will develop in the future, what form it will take. It is just beginning to sprout and may die at any moment, leading to a technological miscarriage!

In the second stage, it begins to be widely used among military, commercial, and international trade. Non-personal users start to realize the power and convenience of this technology, and products continue to optimize, slowly transitioning from difficult to use to easy to use, from bulky to portable. This is also a preparatory phase for widespread adoption in thousands of households.

In the third stage, individuals begin to popularize the use of this technology, various applications of this technology serving individuals land, genuinely entering thousands of households, allowing everyone to enjoy a brand new experience and convenience brought by this technology at a relatively low cost.

In the fourth stage, growth slows down, homogeneous competition continues to increase, and more and more developers of such technology applications find it difficult to make big money. Most people have become accustomed to this technology, and attention gradually shifts to newer and stronger technological fields.

What stage do you think cryptocurrency is in?

The internet is over 60 years old today, objectively speaking!

Bitcoin has just turned 16; I personally believe that Bitcoin currently belongs to the growth stage, equivalent to the internet in 1985, and has not yet reached the internet bubble period of 1999!
