Bitcoin is a unique market, driven so far by retail buying and selling with the price highly reactive to market psychology. The emergence of new types of investors could shift market dynamics, altering historical cycles.

While Ukraine moves to regulate digital assets, other nations are making similar strides. Despite banning digital assets in 2017, Morocco reportedly plans to legalize all cryptocurrencies as the country’s central bank, Bank Al-Maghrib, prepares a draft law for crypto regulation.

Ogilive says another potential issue may be the concentration of ownership. If a government such as the US started accumulating large amounts of Bitcoin, it could “initially concentrate ownership.”

A few drawbacks that have been flagged are the volatility of the market eroding the value of the reserve, storing the Bitcoin securely so it isn’t hacked or stolen and keeping any private keys so they aren’t lost.

Along with the positives of the concept, such as a Bitcoin reserve being a hedge against inflation and the growth value possibly helping reduce debt, there are also concerns.

According to Ogilive, El Salvador and Bhutan have already “proven that a reserve is feasible,” showing that the primary barriers to setting it up are not “technical or market-driven.”

Garzik said that Hemi is focused on the Bitcoin network’s “upward trajectory,” where rollups, layer 2s and other ancillary transaction processing routes become seamless, everyday options for the network. Garzik described such a scenario as “the next stage of evolution for Bitcoin writ large.”

According to Garzik, one issue that complicates Bitcoin’s growth within these spaces is transaction costs when the network is congested and some differences in code, which can complicate interoperability.
