比特幣的完美受控實驗2021-06-11 09:53:40作者：黃小鵬黃小鵬證券時報記者就在中國、印度等國對比特幣進行圍追堵截，美國政府從黑客手中追回比特幣讓其安全性神話備受質疑的當口，比特幣迎來了它的重大利好：人口僅600多萬的中美洲不發達國家薩爾瓦多通過法律，第一個宣佈賦予比特幣法定清償貨幣地位。比特幣在該國將可以像現行法定清償貨幣美元一樣對商品標價、媒介買賣、償還債務、繳納稅收，政府還將提供便捷條件以讓國民實時在美元與比特幣之間轉換。薩爾瓦多成爲比特幣完全合法化的第一個吃螃蟹者，推測起來有三個原因：一是想借比特幣來實現金融服務“超車”。薩爾瓦多人均GDP4000美元出頭，七成老百姓沒有銀行賬戶，如果手握一部手機就有一個比特幣賬號，並藉此接觸金融服務，豈不是“科技以人爲本”？據報道，薩爾瓦多已經在國家層面上與一家叫Strike的公司合作，做好了爲國民建立比特幣錢包的技術準備。這種推動金融普惠性的思路，印度也有過，前些年印度也採取了一些政策讓窮人迅速接觸到移動支付，區別在於印度搞的是手機電子支付，其媒介仍然是傳統貨幣。二是發展比特幣相關的經濟，該國計劃利用火山發電並建立挖礦工業園，比特幣合法化對此有推動作用，甚至不排除有賭比特幣升值進而爲國添財爲民造富的動機。走偏門是小經濟體的普遍現象，不奇怪。三是薩爾瓦多沒有自己的貨幣。薩爾瓦多在宏觀經濟政策和管理貨幣方面的成績糟糕，爲了恢復經濟運行秩序，20多年前它和巴拿馬、厄瓜多爾一道徹底放棄了本國貨幣而採用美元作爲法定貨幣。反正沒有自己的貨幣，美元和比特幣都是外來物，讓兩者“同臺競技”自然沒什麼意識形態障礙。成爲薩爾瓦多的“法定清償貨幣”對比特幣意味着什麼呢？長期以來，比特幣的信徒和騙局論者針鋒相對，誰也無法說服誰，比特幣信徒認爲，正是由於比特幣會從政府手中奪走關鍵權力，所以纔會受到打壓，這次薩爾瓦多政府賦予比特幣完全正式貨幣地位

Now, a team at Goldman Sachs is telling retail investors that the digital currency isn’t worthy of most portfolios—at least not yet.\nIn a new report to private-wealth management clients, Goldman’s Investment Strategy Group (ISG) noted that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies fail to meet the criteria it believes determine whether an asset class is “investable.”\n“While the digital asset ecosystem may well revolutionize the future of everything,” the team wrote, “that does not imply that cryptocurrencies are an investable asset class.”\nGoldman’s ISG team applies five criteria to determine whether an asset, including Bitcoin, is a sound investment—and requires at least three to be met:\n• Generate steady, reliable cash flow on a contractual basis, like bonds\n• Generate earnings through exposure to economic growth, like equities\n• Provide consistent and reliable diversification benefits to a portfolio\n• Dampen volatility\n• Provide consistent and reliable evidence of hedging inflation or deflation as a store of value\nBitcoin fell short in each criteria. And the team pointed out that data on cryptocurrency has been limited and sometimes of “poor” quality.\nThe note comes as Goldman is expanding its crypto offerings to institutional clients. Earlier this year, Goldman’s investment bank launched a cryptocurrency trading desk that focused on Bitcoin. In the coming months, the bank will offer ether options and futures to its clients, Bloomberg reported.\nFor typical investors who lack the assets or access to portfolio strategies that would allow them to stomach volatility, cryptos don’t make much sense. Nor are they likely to add value to as a strategic asset class for consumer and private-wealth clients, the ISG team wrote.\nBy the team’s measure, based on Bitcoin’s “risk, return and uncertainty characteristics,” a 1% allocation to the crypto in a moderate-risk portfolio would have to generate an annual return of 165% to make sense in a portfolio. A 2% allocation would require 365% annual return. But over the last seven years Bitcoin has delivered an annualized return of 69%.\nJust a few months ago, Bitcoin traded as high as $60,000.The recent drops occurred even as the number of Bitcoins has increased, meaning the total market capitalization lost has been much greater.\n“Someone bought Bitcoin at peak prices in April 2021 and someone sold at the lower prices later in May, so some real value was actually lost,” the team wrote.\nAlso of concern to the team is the security of cryptocurrencies. There have been instances where investors’ private keys have been stolen, so they can’t access their coins. Hacking and cyberattacks occur in the so-called “traditional financial system,” too, but investors have more recourse.

Now, a team at Goldman Sachs is telling retail investors that the digital currency isn’t worthy of most portfolios—at least not yet.\nIn a new report to private-wealth management clients, Goldman’s Investment Strategy Group (ISG) noted that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies fail to meet the criteria it believes determine whether an asset class is “investable.”\n“While the digital asset ecosystem may well revolutionize the future of everything,” the team wrote, “that does not imply that cryptocurrencies are an investable asset class.”\nGoldman’s ISG team applies five criteria to determine whether an asset, including Bitcoin, is a sound investment—and requires at least three to be met:\n• Generate steady, reliable cash flow on a contractual basis, like bonds\n• Generate earnings through exposure to economic growth, like equities\n• Provide consistent and reliable diversification benefits to a portfolio\n• Dampen volatility\n• Provide consistent and reliable evidence of hedging inflation or deflation as a store of value\nBitcoin fell short in each criteria. And the team pointed out that data on cryptocurrency has been limited and sometimes of “poor” quality.\nThe note comes as Goldman is expanding its crypto offerings to institutional clients. Earlier this year, Goldman’s investment bank launched a cryptocurrency trading desk that focused on Bitcoin. In the coming months, the bank will offer ether options and futures to its clients, Bloomberg reported.\nFor typical investors who lack the assets or access to portfolio strategies that would allow them to stomach volatility, cryptos don’t make much sense. Nor are they likely to add value to as a strategic asset class for consumer and private-wealth clients, the ISG team wrote.\nBy the team’s measure, based on Bitcoin’s “risk, return and uncertainty characteristics,” a 1% allocation to the crypto in a moderate-risk portfolio would have to generate an annual return of 165% to make sense in a portfolio. A 2% allocation would require 365% annual return. But over the last seven years Bitcoin has delivered an annualized return of 69%.\nJust a few months ago, Bitcoin traded as high as $60,000.The recent drops occurred even as the number of Bitcoins has increased, meaning the total market capitalization lost has been much greater.\n“Someone bought Bitcoin at peak prices in April 2021 and someone sold at the lower prices later in May, so some real value was actually lost,” the team wrote.\nAlso of concern to the team is the security of cryptocurrencies.

And the team pointed out that data on cryptocurrency has been limited and sometimes of “poor” quality.\nThe note comes as Goldman is expanding its crypto offerings to institutional clients. Earlier this year, Goldman’s investment bank launched a cryptocurrency trading desk that focused on Bitcoin. In the coming months, the bank will offer ether options and futures to its clients, Bloomberg reported.\nFor typical investors who lack the assets or access to portfolio strategies that would allow them to stomach volatility, cryptos don’t make much sense.

A 2% allocation would require 365% annual return.

Now, a team at Goldman Sachs is telling retail investors that the digital currency isn’t worthy of most portfolios—at least not yet.\nIn a new report to private-wealth management clients, Goldman’s Investment Strategy Group (ISG) noted that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies fail to meet the criteria it believes determine whether an asset class is “investable.”\n“While the digital asset ecosystem may well revolutionize the future of everything,” the team wrote, “that does not imply that cryptocurrencies are an investable asset class.”\nGoldman’s ISG team applies five criteria to determine whether an asset, including Bitcoin, is a sound investment—and requires at least three to be met:\n• Generate steady, reliable cash flow on a contractual basis, like bonds\n• Generate earnings through exposure to economic growth, like equities\n• Provide consistent and reliable diversification benefits to a portfolio\n• Dampen volatility\n• Provide consistent and reliable evidence of hedging inflation or deflation as a store of value\nBitcoin fell short in each criteria. And the team pointed out that data on cryptocurrency has been limited and sometimes of “poor” quality.\nThe note comes as Goldman is expanding its crypto offerings to institutional clients. Earlier this year, Goldman’s investment bank launched a cryptocurrency trading desk that focused on Bitcoin. In the coming months, the bank will offer ether options and futures to its clients, Bloomberg reported.\nFor typical investors who lack the assets or access to portfolio strategies that would allow them to stomach volatility, cryptos don’t make much sense. Nor are they likely to add value to as a strategic asset class for consumer and private-wealth clients, the ISG team wrote.\nBy the team’s measure, based on Bitcoin’s “risk, return and uncertainty characteristics,” a 1% allocation to the crypto in a moderate-risk portfolio would have to generate an annual return of 165% to make sense in a portfolio. A 2% allocation would require 365% annual return. But over the last seven years Bitcoin has delivered an annualized return of 69%.\nJust a few months ago, Bitcoin traded as high as $60,000.The recent drops occurred even as the number of Bitcoins has increased, meaning the total market capitalization lost has been much greater.\n“Someone bought Bitcoin at peak prices in April 2021 and someone sold at the lower prices later in May, so some real value was actually lost,” the team wrote.\nAlso of concern to the team is the security of cryptocurrencies.

Now, a team at Goldman Sachs is telling retail investors that the digital currency isn’t worthy of most portfolios—at least not yet.\nIn a new report to private-wealth management clients, Goldman’s Investment Strategy Group (ISG) noted that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies fail to meet the criteria it believes determine whether an asset class is “investable.”\n“While the digital asset ecosystem may well revolutionize the future of everything,” the team wrote, “that does not imply that cryptocurrencies are an investable asset class.”\nGoldman’s ISG team applies five criteria to determine whether an asset, including Bitcoin, is a sound investment—and requires at least three to be met:\n• Generate steady, reliable cash flow on a contractual basis, like bonds\n• Generate earnings through exposure to economic growth, like equities\n• Provide consistent and reliable diversification benefits to a portfolio\n• Dampen volatility\n• Provide consistent and reliable evidence of hedging inflation or deflation as a store of value\nBitcoin fell short in each criteria. And the team pointed out that data on cryptocurrency has been limited and sometimes of “poor” quality.\nThe note comes as Goldman is expanding its crypto offerings to institutional clients. Earlier this year, Goldman’s investment bank launched a cryptocurrency trading desk that focused on Bitcoin. In the coming months, the bank will offer ether options and futures to its clients, Bloomberg reported.\nFor typical investors who lack the assets or access to portfolio strategies that would allow them to stomach volatility, cryptos don’t make much sense. Nor are they likely to add value to as a strategic asset class for consumer and private-wealth clients, the ISG team wrote.\nBy the team’s measure, based on Bitcoin’s “risk, return and uncertainty characteristics,” a 1% allocation to the crypto in a moderate-risk portfolio would have to generate an annual return of 165% to make sense in a portfolio. A 2% allocation would require 365% annual return. But over the last seven years Bitcoin has delivered an annualized return of 69%.\nJust a few months ago, Bitcoin traded as high as $60,000.The recent drops occurred even as the number of Bitcoins has increased, meaning the total market capitalization lost has been much greater.\n“Someone bought Bitcoin at peak prices in April 2021 and someone sold at the lower prices later in May, so some real value was actually lost,” the team wrote.\nAlso of concern to the team is the security of cryptocurrencies.

In the case of cryptocurrencies, once a key is stolen, the investor generallydoesn’t have a central authority to appeal to to recoup their assets—in other words, “not your keys, not your coins.”</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Bitcoin Is a Fail for Retail Investors, Goldman Sachs Team Warns</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nBitcoin Is a Fail for Retail Investors, Goldman Sachs Team Warns\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-16 08:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.barrons.com/articles/bitcoin-is-a-fail-for-retail-investors-goldman-sachs-team-warns-51623781467?mod=hp_LEADSUPP_1><strong>Barrons</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>As Bitcoin soared to new highs over the past year, many wondered if they should invest in it.

Now, a team at Goldman Sachs is telling retail investors that the digital currency isn’t worthy of most portfolios—at least not yet.\nIn a new report to private-wealth management clients, Goldman’s Investment Strategy Group (ISG) noted that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies fail to meet the criteria it believes determine whether an asset class is “investable.”\n“While the digital asset ecosystem may well revolutionize the future of everything,” the team wrote, “that does not imply that cryptocurrencies are an investable asset class.”\nGoldman’s ISG team applies five criteria to determine whether an asset, including Bitcoin, is a sound investment—and requires at least three to be met:\n• Generate steady, reliable cash flow on a contractual basis, like bonds\n• Generate earnings through exposure to economic growth, like equities\n• Provide consistent and reliable diversification benefits to a portfolio\n• Dampen volatility\n• Provide consistent and reliable evidence of hedging inflation or deflation as a store of value\nBitcoin fell short in each criteria. And the team pointed out that data on cryptocurrency has been limited and sometimes of “poor” quality.\nThe note comes as Goldman is expanding its crypto offerings to institutional clients. Earlier this year, Goldman’s investment bank launched a cryptocurrency trading desk that focused on Bitcoin. In the coming months, the bank will offer ether options and futures to its clients, Bloomberg reported.\nFor typical investors who lack the assets or access to portfolio strategies that would allow them to stomach volatility, cryptos don’t make much sense. Nor are they likely to add value to as a strategic asset class for consumer and private-wealth clients, the ISG team wrote.\nBy the team’s measure, based on Bitcoin’s “risk, return and uncertainty characteristics,” a 1% allocation to the crypto in a moderate-risk portfolio would have to generate an annual return of 165% to make sense in a portfolio. A 2% allocation would require 365% annual return. But over the last seven years Bitcoin has delivered an annualized return of 69%.\nJust a few months ago, Bitcoin traded as high as $60,000.The recent drops occurred even as the number of Bitcoins has increased, meaning the total market capitalization lost has been much greater.\n“Someone bought Bitcoin at peak prices in April 2021 and someone sold at the lower prices later in May, so some real value was actually lost,” the team wrote.\nAlso of concern to the team is the security of cryptocurrencies. There have been instances where investors’ private keys have been stolen, so they can’t access their coins. Hacking and cyberattacks occur in the so-called “traditional financial system,” too, but investors have more recourse. In the case of cryptocurrencies, once a key is stolen, the investor generallydoesn’t have a central authority to appeal to to recoup their assets—in other words, “not your keys, not your coins.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":93,"commentSize":39,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
