The second is the settlement constraint: there\u2019s a hard-coded limit on how many transactions can be settled per second.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zimmerman is a visiting research economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and a former senior economist at the Bank of England, where he specialised in cryptocurrencies, blockchain, banking and financial regulation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s almost paradoxical,\u201d says Zimmerman, describing bitcoin&#8217;s unexpected market dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy trading bitcoin, you\u2019re betting that people will use it in the future. But by doing so, you\u2019re making for harder for people to use it in the present.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe real strength of cryptocurrencies is the ability to transact privately and anonymously online\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2020\/02\/27\/buy-more-price-goes-down-the-strange-case-of-bitcoin\/\">Earlier this year, Zimmerman published a paper outlining his theory<\/a>, which he says helps explain the high price volatility of cryptocurrencies and the relatively low adoption rate for bitcoin to date.<\/p>\n<p>Zimmerman says he believes the cryptocurrency could survive in the long term, a more optimistic prognosis than that given by many other central bankers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankofengland.co.uk\/-\/media\/boe\/files\/speech\/2018\/the-future-of-money-speech-by-mark-carney.pdf?la=en&amp;hash=A51E1C8E90BDD3D071A8D6B4F8C1566E7AC91418\">including his former boss<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>During the podcast, Zimmerman stresses he is speaking in a personal capacity.<\/p>\n<p>However, he says, nor does he agree with bitcoin maximalists, <a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2020\/01\/24\/the-worlds-future-financial-settlement-network\/\">who envisage the cryptocurrency\u2019s future role as the main global unit of account<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t really envisage that bitcoin is ever going to be a global currency,\u201d Zimmerman says in the podcast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s never going to replace the dollar or the fiat currency of any major economy. The future I see for a cryptocurrency like bitcoin is to be used in particular markets where there are particular requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He then elaborates on that main use case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, the real strength of cryptocurrencies is the ability to transact privately and anonymously online,\u201d Zimmerman says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, this is attractive to criminals, who value privacy very highly. But you don\u2019t need to be doing something illegal. You could be doing something like buying medicines for a condition you don\u2019t want anyone to know about. Or you could be protecting yourself from online scammers or spam.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m quite sceptical about the prospects for central bank digital currencies\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>During the podcast, Zimmerman shares his views on <a href=\"https:\/\/newmoneyreview.com\/index.php\/2020\/01\/23\/all-eyes-on-china-in-digital-currency-race\/\">the prospects for central bank-issued digital currencies<\/a>, whose introduction may be accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps surprisingly, he downplays their significance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersonally, I\u2019m quite sceptical about the prospects for central bank digital currencies,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main selling point of cryptocurrencies is their ability to provide privacy and anonymity. Central banks have done the same thing by providing notes and coins, but they don\u2019t really like it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zimmerman then touches on a hot topic\u2014financial privacy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been said of cash that if it were invented today, we wouldn\u2019t allow it as it does facilitate a lot of criminal activity,\u201d he says in the podcast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if central banks did create digital currency, it would be centralised and it would be possible for them to trace transactions. Even if they claimed it wasn\u2019t it, it wouldn\u2019t be a very credible commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/papers.ssrn.com\/sol3\/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3514125\">With co-author Anantha Divakaruni, Zimmerman has also recently published research on the \u2018Lightning\u2019 network<\/a>, the payments layer being developed on top of bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>During the discussion with New Money Review editor Paul Amery, Zimmerman describes how he things Lightning will impact the development of the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I envisage for the future of bitcoin is a dual-track economy,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLow-value, high volume transactions, such as buying a coffee, will go via the Lightning network. High-value, low-volume transactions, such as buying a house, will be on the bitcoin blockchain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He points out that shifting a proportion of bitcoin trades to a separate payments network comes with inevitable trade-offs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s interesting about the Lightning network is that it becomes really efficient when it\u2019s centralised,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut though this makes it cheaper to use, it comes at a cost. Suddenly, you\u2019ve got a node you\u2019re dependent on and this gives rise to risks.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBlockchain systems may increase resilience but at the cost of efficiency\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the long term, predicts Zimmerman, current central bank-run payments infrastructures and those being developed outside the official sector could merge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt may be that in the payment systems of the future we use blockchain technology to keep things more secure, or that we use some hybrid version of existing central bank systems and blockchain,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Again, Zimmerman says, it\u2019s important to remember that there\u2019s no perfect system for transferring value.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlockchain systems may increase resilience but at the cost of efficiency. You are increasing costs and slowing down how quickly you can settle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>To listen to the podcast, <a href=\"https:\/\/blubrry.com\/newmoneyreview\/61255765\/bitcoins-strange-feedback-loop\/\">click here<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/du6eTr\">Sign up here<\/a> for our monthly newsletter<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/blubrry.com\/newmoneyreview\/\">Click here<\/a> for a full list of episodes of the New Money Review podcast: the future of money in 30 minutes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The leading cryptocurrency\u2019s design features cause it to behave weirdly: the more speculators buy bitcoin, the greater the short-term downward pressure on its price. \u201cThere are two features of bitcoin [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5413,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1013,1012,1053,1014,1011],"tags":[1224,1034,1289,1678],"class_list":{"0":"post-5414","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-account","8":"category-exchange","9":"category-featured-1","10":"category-payment","11":"category-value","12":"tag-bank-of-england","13":"tag-bitcoin","14":"tag-cbdc","15":"tag-peter-zimmerman"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 -
