BitMEX is one among the largest cryptocurrency exchanges which provide perpetual contracts for Bitcoin and offer leverage trading of Bitcoin contracts up to 100x. Arthur Hayes, the CEO of BitMEX, spoke on the Venture Coinist podcast and discussed his vision for BitMEX and how he saw the Bitcoin ecosystem evolve.
Arthur Hayes addressed the ads that they put out on the tenth anniversary of Bitcoin and the BitMEX Research department. He said that the bedrock of BitMEX and other cryptocurrency platforms rested on a well-functioning Bitcoin ecosystem. He added that since they did not have any banks or other financial institutions which needed to provide permissions, they relied on Bitcoin. He further added that it underpins their business.
Hayes elucidated,
“We are dependent on Bitcoin to allow us to be financial creative in the products that we bring to the market, so it behooves us to be supportive of the ecosystem, whether its educating people through research platform that has nothing to do with products that we offer and more to do with Bitcoin blockchain and other technological things that are happening in the ecosystem.”
Speaking about his vision for BitMEX, Hayes explained that millennials were comfortable with the digital form of money and that the demand for analog money would eventually fall. Hayes also added that the “baby-booming generation” in the 70s and 80s were coming into “asset-earning ages”.
Addressing Bitcoin and the current generation, Hayes said that “they were baby-booming generation” and that millennials and the Gen-Z would be the generation that would ride the shift from analog money to digital money. He continued that this was the reason why stocks and bonds were traded from 9-to-5 for five days and cryptos were being traded 24×7.
Moreover, Hayes said that the next generation, millennials or Gen-Z would be comfortable with digital assets in the near future and that Bitcoin would gain more traction in the next 10-20 years.
