According to TechFlow's Deep Tide, on June 17, Bitcoin.com News reported that the Global Research Department of Bank of America released a chart of millennial technological disruptions, listing Bitcoin as one of the most influential innovations in modern history. The chart tracks key breakthroughs from the printing press to quantum computing and compares them with global population growth. Bitcoin appears at the steepest part of the curve, indicating its significant impact during a period of rapid technological development.
Among numerous 21st-century developments, Bitcoin stands out for challenging the traditional financial system. It is positioned alongside the World Wide Web, microprocessors, and electric vehicles as a systemic innovation rather than merely a speculative asset. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan stated that once regulations clearly ensure security and legality, the bank is ready to incorporate cryptocurrency payments into its services. This reflects a broad institutional shift toward digital assets under the crypto-friendly regulatory environment of the Trump administration.
