It's bitcoin's birthday today and here are what the industry players have said about it.

To celebrate the 13th anniversary of the Bitcoin network, there are collected birthday messages from industry players to celebrate the occasion. After an unprecedented hashrate, Bitcoin (BTC) has officially reached its teens and industry experts are assessing its future.
Beimnet Abebe, Principal VP of Trading at Galaxy Digital:
“Bitcoin was introduced 13 years ago. While its development didn't make much noise and only caught the attention and attention of a few esoteric programmers, the release would be monumental, allowing anyone anywhere in the world to access digital tight money for the first time and opening the door to logs used to be. to power the next iteration of the network."
Hassan Basiri, Vice President of Portfolio Management at Arca Funds:
“BTC is a gateway drug that has opened everyone's eyes to how big a digital asset really is. As the BTC ecosystem grows and becomes a more productive asset in terms of lending/lending and profitability, we can expect more participants, research and opportunities with other currencies and blockchains.”
Laura Videla, Business Development Strategist and former Vice President of Institutional Sales at Paradigm:
“The BTC ecosystem will continue to see product upgrades and capital growth in 2022. With more and more derivative and structured products being offered, traditional players are investing more capital by investing in the profitability-generating strategies they are familiar with.”
Ian Kane, Co-Founder and CEO of Unbanked:
“His creation transcends time zones, borders and governments – giving millions of people around the world financial rights. This is a testament to human ingenuity and that a person (or group of people) anywhere in the world can create something with greater effect than themselves. The next 13 years will be more influential than the last as everyone moves towards the Bitcoin standard.
Mark Jaklofski, Head of Communications and Public Relations at Genesis Global Trading:
"There's an old Japanese saying that says, 'Easy to start, hard to continue.'" The journey to change the world has just begun. Come on, Bitcoins!"
Rich Rosenblum, Founder of GSR Markets:
“It is fitting that Bitcoin celebrates the Bar Mitzvah today. 2022 will be its first full year with ETFs and widespread participation and adoption. Mazel Tov!"
Meanwhile, Nayib Bukele, president of El Salvador and supporter of Bitcoin, speculates that BTC will hit $100,000 this year. In the new year, BTC reached under $47,000 and was at $46,100 at the time of publication. Whether a bull or a bear, assets have come a long way in terms of acceptance and security.
