POINTS\n\nBitcoin isn’t as anonymous as people think it is, according to Eswar Prasad, a professor at Cornell University.\nOther issues include the fact that bitcoin mining is extremely bad for the environment, and it doesn’t work well as a currency, he said.\nThat’s spurred other cryptocurrencies to come up with solutions to address some of the flaws of bitcoin, he told CNBC on Thursday.\n\nBitcoin, the world’s best known cryptocurrency, has a few flaws — and that’s triggered other digital currencies to come up with more viable options, according to a professor at Cornell University.\nIt isn’t as anonymous as people think it is, and “mining” bitcoin is bad for the environment, pointed out economics professor Eswar Prasad. It also doesn’t work well as a currency, he told CNBC on Thursday.\nOne interesting aspect is that other cryptocurrencies have come up with solutions to address some of bitcoin’s flaws, said Prasad, who was formerly head of the International Monetary Fund’s China division.\n1. Mining harms the environment\nBitcoin mining refers to the energy-intensive process required to produce new coins and ensure the payment network is secure and verified.\nThe electricity used when transactions are validated on the bitcoin blockchain, as well as the mining process, is “certainly not good for the environment,” Prasad said.\nTesla CEO Elon Musk said last month that his electric car company will stop accepting bitcoin as a form of payment because of environmental concerns, causing the price of bitcoin to drop 5% in a matter of minutes.\nHe has since made an about-turn and said in a tweet on Sunday that Tesla will accept bitcoin in transactions if it can confirm “reasonable” and “clean energy usage by miners.”\nCrypto miners use purpose-built computers to solve complex mathematical equations that effectively enable a coin transaction to go through. The miners are rewarded for their efforts by being paid in the cryptocurrency.\nHowever, the entire process used to create a bitcoin requires a lot of energy and can consume more power than entire countries such as Finland and Switzerland, according to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index.\nOn the other hand,Ethereum— the second-largest cryptocurrency sometimes viewed as an alternative to bitcoin — is coming up with a different method of mining that requires less energy, Prasad pointed out.\nCalled“proof of stake,”it is the underlying mechanism for ethereum that activates so-called “validators” on the network, if they can prove that they hold ether, or a “stake.”\nUltimately, it should remove the need for vast amounts of computing power needed to validate transactions and the Ethereum Foundation claims it will use 99.95% less energy than before.\n“That is going to be much less energy intensive, and it could deliver a lot of the benefits that bitcoin was supposed to deliver. It could also make transactions much cheaper and quicker,” said Prasad.\nHowever, it’s not there yet, he added.\n2. Not so anonymous after all\nEarlier this month, U.S. law enforcement officials said they were able to recover $2.3 million in bitcoin paid to a criminal cybergroup involved in the ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline in May.\nThe FBI said its agents were able to identify a virtual currency wallet that the hackers used to collect payment from Colonial Pipeline.\n“The main idea of bitcoin… was to provide pseudonymity,” said Prasad. “But it turns out that if you use bitcoin a lot, and especially if you use Bitcoin to get any real goods and services, then it becomes possible eventually to link your address or your physical identity to your digital identity.”\nWhat’s interesting, he said, is that there are other cryptocurrencies trying to fix this and offer more anonymity. He highlighted Monero and Zcash as some examples.\n“So bitcoin really has set off something of a search for a better alternative and people seem to be on the lookout for a medium of exchange that does not require them to go through a trusted institution like the government or a commercial bank — but it’s not quite there yet,” Prasad said.\n3. Doesn’t work well as a currency\nIn theory, bitcoin was supposed to provide an anonymous and efficient medium of exchange but “it hasn’t worked in that respect,” said the economics professor.\nRather, it’s “slow and cumbersome” to use bitcoin to pay for goods and services, and the market is very volatile, Prasad said.\nBitcoin is prone to wide swings in volatility, as seen by its 30% plunge in a single day last month.\n“So you could take a bitcoin to a store and one day, get a cup of coffee and another day, with the same bitcoin, be able to treat yourself to a lavish meal. So that doesn’t work well for the medium of exchange,” he said.\nBitcoin has become a speculative asset for people who hope it will appreciate in value, rather than because they want to use it as a payment mode, Prasad said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":335,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":376827269,"gmtCreate":1619103880951,"gmtModify":1634288514094,"author":{"id":"3581995631014045","authorId":"3581995631014045","name":"CJFOO","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a95e11af157d2dcab49530db7e2384c0","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581995631014045","authorIdStr":"3581995631014045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/376827269","repostId":"2129380033","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2129380033","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1619102180,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2129380033?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-22 22:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"It Seems Netflix Has Been Dethroned","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2129380033","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: NFLX) shares fell as much as 11% in after-hours trading after the streaming giant reported a large miss in subscriber numbers in its first-quarter earnings report.","content":"<p><b>Netflix Inc&nbsp;</b>(NASDAQ:NFLX) shares fell as much as 11% in after-hours trading after the streaming giant reported a large miss in subscriber numbers in its first-quarter earnings report. The facts that revenue still grew on a YoY basis along with a strong beat on earnings were not enough to offset the weak number of subscriber additions, especially as management only expects 1 million new subscribers in the undergoing quarter.</p><h4>First-Quarter Figures</h4><p>Revenue amounted to $7.16 billion, slightly topping $7.13 billion expected, resulting in earnings per share of $3.75 that exceed the expected $2.97, as gathered by Refinitiv. Global paid net subscriber additions came at 3.98 million which is significantly below the 6.2 million expected, according to FactSet. This figure seems even more pessimistic compared to a quarterly record of 15.8 million new paying users it gathered during the first three months of 2020.</p><p>Still, the company's revenue grew 24% YoY and was in line with its beginning of quarter forecast. Netflix also delivered a strong beat on earnings compared to Street estimates. Operating income for the quarter came in at $1.96 billion which is more than double $958 million in the year-earlier period. Moreover, as content spending was lower, it resulted in a 27% operating margin which is an all-time high for the first quarter.</p><h4>Netflix is losing subscribers</h4><p>Netflix believes that the shortfall subscriber numbers could be blamed on the ongoing pandemic or more precisely on its smaller pipeline of originals as COVID-19 restrictions forced the company to delay some of its big-name shows and films. It doesn't believe that competition from <b>Walt Disney Company</b>'s (NYSE:DIS) Disney+ and Hulu, <b>AT&amp;T</b>'s (NYSE:T) HBO Max, <b>Apple</b>'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) Apple TV+ , <b>Amazon</b>'s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Prime Video and <b>Comcast Corporation</b>'s (NASDAQ:CMCSA) NBCUniversal's Peacock played a factor in the weak subscriber numbers. But the reality is that Netflix is facing an increasing set of competitors in the streaming space with HBO Max having reached 41 million U.S. subscribers two years ahead of schedule in January this year and Disney+ topping 100 million global subscribers as of early March, ballooning to about half of Netflix's 208 million worldwide subscribers only within a year-and-a-half of its launch.</p><h4>The Key Is The Business Remains Healthy And That It Keeps Growing</h4><p>To respond its competitors, Netflix expects to spend more than $17 billion in cash on content this year. Production is up and running in nearly all of its major markets and While ramping up content spending more than 44% compared with $11.8 billion last year, Netflix is also trying to combat password sharing. Historically, it wasn't concerned about this issue as subscriber growth and stock price were easily offsetting concerns around lost revenue. But, things changed as Netflix has found itself amid intense ‘streaming wars'.</p><p>Netflix's board approved a buyback program to repurchase up to $5 billion in common stock, beginning in 2021 with no fixed expiration date. The program is expected to begin during the quarter.</p><h4>The Winner Of The Streaming Wars Is Sill Unknown</h4><p>While Netflix matures in terms of subscriber growth, its business has also become increasingly efficient from an operating standpoint, despite channeling billions into content creation. After posting its first full-year of positive free cash flow since 2011 last year, it believes it is \"very close to being sustainably\" free cash flow positive.&nbsp; As for 2021, it expects free cash flow to be around breakeven while no longer having to raise external financing for its day-to-day operations.&nbsp; In other words, it's been more than a year that streaming wars intensified and all players are investing heavily to be on the winning side even after the world successfully combats COVID-19.</p><p><i>This article is not a press release and is contributed by a verified independent journalist for IAMNewswire.

Global paid net subscriber additions came at 3.98 million which is significantly below the 6.2 million expected, according to FactSet. This figure seems even more pessimistic compared to a quarterly record of 15.8 million new paying users it gathered during the first three months of 2020.</p><p>Still, the company's revenue grew 24% YoY and was in line with its beginning of quarter forecast. Netflix also delivered a strong beat on earnings compared to Street estimates. Operating income for the quarter came in at $1.96 billion which is more than double $958 million in the year-earlier period. Moreover, as content spending was lower, it resulted in a 27% operating margin which is an all-time high for the first quarter.</p><h4>Netflix is losing subscribers</h4><p>Netflix believes that the shortfall subscriber numbers could be blamed on the ongoing pandemic or more precisely on its smaller pipeline of originals as COVID-19 restrictions forced the company to delay some of its big-name shows and films.

But the reality is that Netflix is facing an increasing set of competitors in the streaming space with HBO Max having reached 41 million U.S. subscribers two years ahead of schedule in January this year and Disney+ topping 100 million global subscribers as of early March, ballooning to about half of Netflix's 208 million worldwide subscribers only within a year-and-a-half of its launch.</p><h4>The Key Is The Business Remains Healthy And That It Keeps Growing</h4><p>To respond its competitors, Netflix expects to spend more than $17 billion in cash on content this year.
