【12.14国外百咖说:顺便学英语】十年前100美元的比特币现在达到920万美元

Since its birth in 2009,Bitcoinhas been on a remarkable run.

自2009年诞生以来，比特币一直表现出色。

The cryptocurrency was at first a medium of exchange and digital money for the fringe — used by those that wanted to bypass the pitfalls of traditional payment solutions, wanted to make a bet on the future of fintech, or wanted to make a statement against the fiat system, which was then embroiled in the aftermath of 2008’s Great Recession.

最初，加密货币是一种附带的交易和数字货币，供那些希望绕过传统支付解决方案陷阱，想押注金融科技未来，或想发表反对法令的人使用该系统后来卷入了2008年的大萧条。

Now, Bitcoin has entered the mainstream, frequenting the headlines of mainstream media outlets, becoming a part of the world’s vernacular, and referenced by many a corporation. In fact, the cryptocurrency was briefly mentioned in a report byDeutsche Bank as an alternative form of moneyfor the future after the potential collapse of fiat currencies.

现在，比特币已进入主流，经常成为主流媒体的头条新闻，成为世界各地的一部分，并被许多公司引用。实际上，在法定货币可能崩溃之后，德意志银行的报告中曾简要提到过这种加密货币，作为未来的另一种货币形式。

In short, Bitcoin has done well over its decade-long lifespan.

简而言之，比特币在长达十年的生命周期中表现出色。

According to arecent reportfrom online business statistics and analytics blog Howmuch.net, Bitcoin has done so well that it is the “investment of the decade,” for it has appreciated by a jaw-dropping number of percent since it was launched in 2009.

根据在线商业统计和分析博客Howmuch.net的最新报告，比特币做得非常好，以至于这是“十年的投资”，因为自2009年推出以来，比特币的增幅令人a目结舌。

How to Turn $100 Into $9.2 Million? Bitcoin, That’s How

如何将100美元变成920万美元？比特币，就是这样

According to Howmuch.net’s latest analysis, Bitcoin easily beat any other mainstream investment in existence; they noted that investing $100 into the cryptocurrency ten years ago would have provided you with $9.2 million worth of coins today, if you held them that as.

根据Howmuch.net的最新分析，比特币轻而易举地击败了任何其他主流投资。他们指出，如果十年前向加密货币投资100美元，今天将为您提供价值920万美元的硬币。

For some perspective, $100 in Amazon ten years ago would have netted you $3,300, Apple $2,400, Visa $1,700, and so on and so forth:

从某些角度来看，十年前在亚马逊上获得100美元，您将获得3,300美元，苹果公司2,400美元，维萨卡1,700美元，等等，依此类推：

This statistic has been corroborated by historical events. Ten years ago as of earlier this year, an individual purchased 5,050 Bitcoin for $5.02 in the first market transaction for BTC, which was well-documented.

历史事件证实了这一统计数据。十年前，截至今年早些时候，一个人在BTC的第一笔市场交易中以5.02美元的价格购买了5,050比特币，有据可查。

Today, that same sum of coins is worth some $37.5 million. This means that the cryptocurrency has gained over 500,000,000% from its first sale price.

如今，同样数额的硬币价值约3750万美元。这意味着该加密货币已从其首次出售价格中获得了超过500,000,000％的收益。

Price Has Room to Run

价格仍有运行空间

While hundreds of thousands or millions of percent is obviously an already ludicrous return in and of itself, especially considering that this appreciation took place within a ten-year time period (a mere blip on a cosmic scale), some say that Bitcoin still has room to run. A lot more room.

尽管成千上万的百分比本身显然已经是可笑的回报，尤其是考虑到这种升值是在十年的时间段内发生的（宇宙规模只是短暂的一次跳动），但有人说比特币仍有空间跑步。还有更多空间。

In avery to-the-point tweet, Raoul Pal, a former executive of Goldman Sachs’s European Hedge Fund sales business who has been an advocate for the leading cryptocurrency for at least five years now, argued that “Bitcoin is still very cheap… on a longer-term time horizon.” As to why he believes this is the case, the current CEO of financial media startup Real Vision, has a few theses.

高盛（Goldman Sachs）欧洲对冲基金销售业务的前执行官拉乌尔·帕尔（Raoul Pal）在非常重要的一条推文中指出，“领先的加密货币至少已有五年的历史”。至于为什么他认为是这种情况，金融媒体初创公司Real Vision的现任首席执行官有几篇文章。

Firstly, he thinks that the cryptocurrency can as an investment hedge in a financial meltdown. He earlier this year told his followers that it may be wise to purchase bonds, dollars, diamonds, and, of course, Bitcoin. The idea here is that the aforementioned assets store their value, even across long periods of time and recessions.

首先，他认为加密货币可以作为金融危机中的投资对冲。他今年早些时候告诉追随者，购买债券，美元，钻石以及当然还有比特币可能是明智的。这里的想法是，即使在很长一段时间和经济衰退期间，上述资产也会存储其价值。

Pal also remarked in a podcast with Bitcoin podcaster Stephan Livera that BTC is the only asset that makes sense for millennials and younger demographics, as other assets (even real estate) remain highly overvalued.

帕尔还在与比特币播客斯特凡·利维拉（Stephan Livera）的播客中表示，BTC是唯一适合千禧一代和年轻人口的资产，因为其他资产（甚至是房地产）仍然被高估。

And lastly, he has claimed that the establishment of digital money systems, even something like Facebook’s Libra, will only drive capital towards Bitcoin and gold”. In a sub-tweet, Pal further explained his thoughts, responding “exactly” to a comment claiming that Libra or something similar will as an on-ramp for the cryptocurrency market.

最后，他声称建立数字货币系统，甚至像Facebook的Libra之类的东西，只会将资本带向比特币和黄金。在进一步的推文中，Pal进一步解释了自己的想法，对“天秤座”或类似的东西将成为加密货币市场进入斜坡的评论做出了“准确”的回应。
