The recent Bitcoin 2024 conference held in Nashville, USA, has shown the world that Bitcoin has gradually become a mainstream asset class recognized by the market. Celebrities including former US President Donald Trump have publicly recognized the development potential of Bitcoin. I am also very excited about the future prospects of Bitcoin. This excitement comes not only from its trading potential, but also from its broader economic impact, especially its impact on the global labor market.
"Bitcoin has grown from a niche novelty to a mainstream financial asset class that cannot be ignored" - OSL Group Chairman and CEO Pan Zhiyong
Looking back on this transformation, especially from the initial skepticism to the current acceptance by institutional investors, financial institutions and governments, it is inseparable from a series of unique attributes of Bitcoin, including decentralization, security and limited supply. At the same time, the recognition of politicians such as Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr. at the Bitcoin 2024 conference further consolidated Bitcoin's position in the global financial ecosystem.
Although market transactions remain an important scenario for Bitcoin's global application to date, its impact has far exceeded this scope - Bitcoin has the potential to revolutionize financial inclusion, enhance cross-border transaction efficiency, and support the emerging decentralized finance (DeFi) field. The development of these dimensions is creating a more interconnected and efficient digital asset ecosystem, and is expected to promote innovation and economic growth in various industries.

In short, the popularity of Bitcoin and blockchain technology is creating new jobs and affecting existing jobs.
- Creating jobs in the blockchain field As more and more companies explore blockchain solutions, the market demand for blockchain developers, analysts and cybersecurity experts has surged. These high-skilled jobs are critical to developing and maintaining blockchain infrastructure and driving innovation and economic growth.
- New Business Models The decentralized nature of Bitcoin allows us to realize new business models that were previously unimaginable - from decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) to blockchain-based supply chain management, these innovations are reshaping industries and creating more new jobs.
- Education and skills development In addition, the rise of Bitcoin and blockchain technology has further stimulated the market demand for blockchain professional education and training programs. Currently, more and more universities and institutions have begun to offer courses in blockchain technology, digital assets and decentralized finance to provide the next generation of workers with the skills they need to thrive in this growing field.
"Blockchain is a new battlefield for talent! Regardless of your background, as long as you are willing to learn, there is a place for you here. We are creating a diverse and inclusive future work model." - OSL Group Chairman and CEO Pan Zhiyong
Although the digital asset industry has achieved tremendous growth in the past decade, it is still in its infancy. This is reflected in the gradual mainstream acceptance of Bitcoin and the rapid innovation in the blockchain field. Therefore, the challenges we face today are actually the necessary path for the industry to become stronger and more mature.
Overall, the 2024 Bitcoin Conference held in Nashville showed the world the growing acceptance and enthusiasm for Bitcoin in different industries and fields. This period of transformation also indicates that Bitcoin has the potential to revolutionize all aspects of the economy.
In this process, collaboration between industry leaders, regulators and innovators is crucial. OSL is also committed to supporting the growth of the Bitcoin ecosystem and fully unleashing the potential of Bitcoin by embracing technological advances, creating a positive regulatory environment and building a resilient ecosystem.
The future potential of Bitcoin is likely to exceed our imagination today. Bitcoin is driving the rapid progress of the global financial system and is expected to make significant contributions to the global economy.
