"The rise of bitcoin over the past 15 years is due to an innovation that cannot be recreated: decentralized electronic cash," wrote Nikhil Bhatia, founder of The Bitcoin layer, a research provider analyzing bitcoin through a global macroeconomic lens, in emailed comments.

“过去 15 年比特币的崛起归功于一项无法重现的创新：去中心化电子现金，”The Bitcoin Layer 的创始人 Nikhil Bhatia 在电子邮件评论中写道，The Bitcoin Layer 是一家通过全球宏观经济视角分析比特币的研究提供商。

"The term 'digital gold' best describes this digital asset that has an algorithmically limited supply function. If bitcoin were to reach the market size of gold ($17 trillion), it would imply a price of around $800,000 for 1 BTC," said Bhatia, who is also an adjunct professor of finance at USC Marshall School of Business.

“‘数字黄金’这个词最能描述这种具有算法限制供应功能的数字资产。如果比特币达到黄金的市场规模（17 万亿美元），这意味着 1 BTC 的价格约为 80 万美元，”Bhatia 说道。 ，他也是南加州大学马歇尔商学院金融学兼职教授。
