The head of the Coinbase cryptocurrency exchange, Brian Armstrong, believes that in order to take digital assets, it is necessary to reduce volatility, as well as to improve the scalability and use of coins.

Well-known entrepreneur Andreas Antonopoulos said that in order to use Bitcoin in the financial sector, it is necessary to develop scenarios for its practical application.

Antonopoulos believes that one day the time will come when the first cryptocurrency will take the place of the current banking system based on fiat payments. However, for this, average consumers must understand the advantages of Bitcoin and thoroughly explore the options for using it.

The privacy of digital data on the network is the salient feature to P2PS secure, interference-free communications system developed by P2P Solutions Foundation.

The privacy of digital data on the global network finds a new competitor in the crypto universe. From the outset, the team of P2P Solutions Foundation points out a clear global problem; anything that is digitally exchanged with anyone, anywhere, is not protected by any privacy standard. Including information exchanged on corporate networks (private intranets). Right now the vast majority of Internet and Intranet activity is constantly monitored. At certain bottlenecks, the tracked information may be sensitive to the parties. In this way, new models are needed in which the activity is properly protected.

Tom Lee, co-founder of the US research company Fundstrat Global Advisors, expressed the opinion that the price of Bitcoin should be at around $14,000.

According to Google Trends, the number of search queries with the word "Bitcoin" increased three times after a sharp jump in the price of the first cryptocurrency recorded at the beginning of the week.

The general director of the cryptocurrency company BCB Group said that the latest increase in the Bitcoin rate was due to the purchases of one investor who distributed $ 100 million on three major exchanges.

Oliver von Landsberg-Sadie, in a conversation with Reuters, said that the reason for the Bitcoin breakthrough above $ 5,000 was a certain investor who made deals totaling about 20,000 BTC simultaneously on the three largest exchanges - Coinbase, Kraken and Bitstamp.

Bitcoin will be ahead of other payment systems, such as Visa and MasterCard, within ten years, if the growth of the network continues at the same pace.

DataLight made such a forecast in a research comparing Bitcoin with traditional payment systems, which also included PayPal, noting the rapid development of cryptocurrency since its inception in 2009.

As stated by the head of the White Company, Elizabeth White, it is "extremely unlikely" that cryptocurrencies will be able to surpass the traditional financial system, at least at the current stage of development.

Elizabeth White emphasized that at the moment "the volume of transactions in fiat currencies is an order of magnitude greater than the volume of cryptocurrency payments," so it's too early to talk about replacing traditional money with digital assets.

The founder and head of investment company BKCM LLC Brian Kelly said that the next goal of Bitcoin was the mark of $ 6,000.

In an interview with CNBC's "Futures Now" program, Kelly said that after yesterday's sudden jump in the first cryptocurrency rate by 17% and reaching the $ 5,000 mark, the bottom of the cryptocurrency market seems to have passed.
