За последнее время не многие новые криптовалютные проекты привлекают к себе столько же внимания, сколько MimbleWimble. Своим названием он обязан заклятию косноязычия из вселенной Гарри Поттера, которое не давало героям говорить на определенные темы. Впервые он был представлен в IRC-канале #bitcoin-wizards 1 августа 2016 года анонимным автором, скрывающимся за псевдонимом Том Элвис Жедусор (так во французском переводе звучало настоящее имя Волан-де-Морта). Оригинальное предложение было довольно кратким. Основную архитектуру разработчики MimbleWimble позаимствовали у Биткоина, исключив из нее сценарии и добавив конфиденциальные транзакции и концепцию сквозных переводов. В результате они получили поддающийся сжатию…

Национальные регулирующие органы, скорее всего, никогда не допустят бесконтрольного распространения биткоина и других криптовалют. Однако на их покупательной способности может благоприятно сказаться приход в индустрию институциональных инвесторов и выпуск собственных цифровых активов центральными банками. В потенциале повысить доверие к криптовалютам также могут так называемые “стабильные монеты” (стейблкоины), хотя им для этого также потребуется ясный правовой статус. О том, как инновационные финансовые инструменты могут изменить представление о формах денег, в интервью журналу BlockchainJournal рассказал доктор экономических наук, профессор кафедры теории кредита и финансового менеджмента Санкт-Петербургского государственного университета Дмитрий Кочергин.
