According to CoinMeta, Eric Balchunas stated in his first official book interview with Natalie that Bitcoin is currently in a transitional period similar to that of most 18-year-olds. He believes that it has not been easy for Bitcoin to reach where it is today, to successfully penetrate Wall Street and governments, to gain ETF approval, to attract elderly investors, and to become a legitimate asset class. For further development, Bitcoin needs to reduce its volatility and correlation, make greater efforts to control information, address the increasingly serious issue of affordability, and defend against the threats of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. He mentioned that this is also why they almost named the book "Bitcoin Growth."
