  • Adam Back emphasizes strong Bitcoin adoption, aided by US spot Bitcoin ETFs and institutions.
  • Initial regulatory concerns around Bitcoin have diminished, boosting confidence in its stability.
  • Bitcoin’s hashrate reached a record 769.8 EH/s on Oct. 21, signaling robust network security.

Adam Back, co-founder of Blockstream and inventor of Hashcash, pointed out that institutional adoption of Bitcoin has reached a strong level, bolstered by developments like U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. During an interview with Forbes, Back noted that major financial institutions are now invested in maintaining and expanding Bitcoin-related products.

Back highlighted that these financial entities have grown supportive of Bitcoin, joining the ranks of sovereign wealth funds and even some nations that are beginning to explore Bitcoin investments. His comments came soon after the 16th anniversary of Bitcoin’s white paper, first released by Satoshi Nakamoto on October 31, 2008.

Bitcoin’s Maturity and Reduced Initial Risks

Back explained that many of the early regulatory concerns that posed risks to Bitcoin have significantly decreased. He mentioned that early fears of major countries potentially banning Bitcoin had created uncertainty. However, with Bitcoin now well-established, those initial perceptions have changed.

The cryptographer also noted that technological risks for Bitcoin have lessened over time, although there is still space for further advancements. He mentioned that while the Lightning Network has made point-of-sale and peer-to-peer transactions more reliable, opportunities for innovation in blockchain scaling remain.

Record Hashrate Signals Strong Security

The network’s security has also shown improvement, highlighted by Bitcoin’s hashrate, which set a new peak of 769.8 exahashes per second on October 21. This metric serves as an indicator of the blockchain’s security and resilience.

Back’s invention, Hashcash, laid the groundwork for Bitcoin’s proof-of-work system, initially developed to combat spam and denial-of-service issues. This contribution has been pivotal in Bitcoin’s development and continued growth in the cryptocurrency landscape.
