蘋果應該買比特幣嗎？邁克爾·塞勒（Michael Saylor）這麼認為

我們還應該購買比特幣嗎？這個問題甚至沒有跨越邁克爾·塞勒的想法。

“Apple should buy Bitcoin.” No question mark, no suggestion. As usual, Michael Saylor makes pronouncements. Again and again, his favorite slogan “orange pilled” sounds like an order. And this time, he's targeting Apple.

“蘋果應該購買比特幣。”毫無問題，沒有建議。像往常一樣，邁克爾·塞勒（Michael Saylor）發表聲明。他最喜歡的口號一次又一次，聽起來像是訂單。這次，他針對蘋果。

As the founder of MicroStrategy, Saylor thinks big, or maybe he's just right. One certainty remains: he believes bitcoin can be the future monetary standard for tech giants. An almost religious faith, serving a single asset.

作為Microstrategy的創始人，Saylor認為很大，或者他是對的。仍然可以肯定的是：他認為比特幣可能是技術巨頭未來的貨幣標準。幾乎是宗教信仰，服務於單一資產。

In a blunt tweet, he says it the day after Apple announces a massive share buyback program: 110 billion dollars. It's this choice that makes the entrepreneur leap.

他在一條直率的推文中說，蘋果宣布大量股票回購計劃的第二天：1,100億美元。這種選擇使企業家飛躍。

The largest share buyback in history, and the stock collapses. Isn't it time for Apple to orange pill and buy Bitcoin instead? https://t.co/ywjz8f78z8

歷史上最大的股票回購，股票倒塌。是時候讓蘋果橙色藥丸和購買比特幣了嗎？ https://t.co/ywjz8f78z8

We can also hear Jim Cramer, the well-known stock market commentator, criticizing the strategy.

我們還可以聽到著名的股市評論員吉姆·克萊默（Jim Cramer）批評該策略。

But Saylor sees this weakness as an opportunity. He's advocating for a strategic allocation towards BTC, which he calls the “supreme store of value.”

但是塞勒將這種弱點視為機會。他主張對BTC進行戰略分配，他稱之為“價值最高存儲”。

For him, buybacks generate no real innovation or growth. Conversely, holding bitcoin would be an act of confidence in a new economic standard.

對他來說，回購不會產生真正的創新或增長。相反，持有比特幣將是對新經濟標準的信心。

Strategy currently holds more than 582,000 BTC. The company has made it the cornerstone of its financial strategy, with remarkable capitalization results.

策略目前持有超過582,000 BTC。該公司使其成為其財務戰略的基石，並具有顯著的資本化結果。

Apple and bitcoin: a story of thwarted attraction

蘋果和比特幣：挫敗景點的故事

The connection between Apple and bitcoin is more complex than it seems. Officially, the company has never shown active support for BTC. Yet, contradictory signals punctuate its recent history.

蘋果和比特幣之間的連接比看起來更複雜。正式地，該公司從未向BTC表現出積極的支持。然而，矛盾的信號刺破了其最近的歷史。

In 2021, Tim Cook admitted: "I own Bitcoin and Ethereum, in a personal wallet." But he immediately stated that Apple had "no plans" to invest in cryptocurrencies.

蒂姆·庫克（Tim Cook）在2021年承認：“我在個人錢包裡擁有比特幣和以太坊。”但是他立即表示，蘋果沒有計劃投資加密貨幣。

Another example, Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper was hidden in certain versions of macOS. It was quietly removed in April 2023. An anecdote revealing an internal discomfort towards bitcoin.

另一個例子是，中田的白皮書藏在某些版本的macos中。它在2023年4月被安靜地刪除。軼事揭示了對比特幣的內部不適。

Finally, Apple banned certain BTC donation apps from its App Store, including Vexl, citing strict rules.

最後，蘋果以嚴格的規定禁止其應用商店中的某些BTC捐贈應用程序。

The result: the company cultivates an image of neutrality, which sometimes borders on ambiguity.

結果：該公司培養了中立形象，有時與歧義相提並論。

So, why does Saylor insist so much? Because he sees in Apple the first company able to break this taboo. A strong brand, colossal cash flow, and an aura of innovation that could restore the image of BTC.

那麼，為什麼Saylor堅持這麼多？因為他在蘋果公司看到了第一家能夠打破這個禁忌的公司。一個強大的品牌，巨大的現金流量和創新的光環，可以恢復BTC的形象。

Bitcoin: the train is passing, with or without Apple

比特幣：火車正在駛過，有或沒有蘋果

The market isn't waiting. If Apple hesitates, others are rushing forward. Right now, there is a true institutional rush toward bitcoin. The macroeconomic context, clearer regulation, and the arrival of spot ETFs in the United States are changing the game.

市場不在等。如果蘋果猶豫不決，其他人則沖向前進。目前，對比特幣有一個真正的機構匆匆忙忙。宏觀經濟環境，更清晰的法規和現場ETF在美國的到來正在改變遊戲。

The trend is clear. BTC is entering a new era where institutions become the drivers. Waiting longer risks buying at a higher price or missing the momentum.

趨勢很明顯。 BTC進入了一個新時代，機構成為驅動因素。等待更長的風險以更高的價格購買或丟失勢頭。

Apple and Bitcoin, two giants on parallel trajectories. If convergence happens, it could change history. Will Michael Saylor, isolated in his preaching against the GAFAM, be heard this time?

蘋果和比特幣，兩個平行軌蹟的巨人。如果融合發生，它可能會改變歷史。邁克爾·塞勒（Michael Saylor）這次在對Gafam的講道中孤立嗎？
