比特幣是一首沒有結束的歌

比特幣價格已經下跌，但用戶興趣和開發者活動仍然一如既往地強勁。

Bitcoin interest remains high despite falling prices, as evidenced by conversations, low selling rates and increasing hashrate.

儘管價格下跌，比特幣的興趣仍然很高，對話、低售價和不斷增長的算力證明了這一點。

Never mind what the naysayers are claiming about bitcoin in the midst of this down crypto market. The case for sustained bitcoin interest and continually improving fundamentals remains as sound as ever.

在這個低迷的加密貨幣市場中，不要介意那些反對者對比特幣的看法。比特幣的持續興趣和基本面不斷改善的理由仍然一如既往。

Recently a prominent personal finance guru, Ramit Sethi, posted the following comment on Twitter:

最近，著名個人理財大師 Ramit Sethi 在 Twitter 上發表了以下評論：

While I agree with his comment on passive income real estate, I feel the potshot at bitcoin is based on opinion and not steeped in the truth.

雖然我同意他對被動收入房地產的評論，但我認為對比特幣的批評是基於觀點，而不是基於事實。

Let me provide some context and explain why I believe bitcoin interest is as strong as ever.

讓我提供一些背景資訊並解釋為什麼我相信比特幣的興趣一如既往地濃厚。

Three proofs of bitcoin interest

比特幣利息的三個證明

As for context, what most people need to recognize is that the monetization of bitcoin takes decades, not months.

至於背景，大多數人需要認識到的是，比特幣的貨幣化需要幾十年，而不是幾個月。

In regards to strength in bitcoin interest, here are a few pieces of evidence:

關於比特幣興趣的強度，以下是一些證據：

First, I've noticed no reduction in interest in bitcoin, despite the recent price decline. Conversations are only just picking up steam as people are starting to probe into unanswered questions – questions about what money is and where the funding is for all the government spending. This became obvious to me after I was recently asked to be in a bitcoin book club with financial advisors looking to learn more about bitcoin.

首先，我注意到儘管最近價格下跌，但人們對比特幣的興趣並未減少。隨著人們開始探究一些懸而未決的問題——關於什麼是錢以及所有政府支出的資金都在哪裡的問題，對話才剛開始。最近我被邀請參加一個比特幣讀書俱樂部，與希望了解更多有關比特幣的財務顧問一起，這對我來說變得顯而易見。

Second, fewer people are selling bitcoin than you may realize. Stanley Druckenmiller mentioned that when he was first interested in bitcoin, a conversation with Paul Tutor Jones helped spur his enthusiasm. A stat Paul Tutor Jones shared stuck with Druckenmiller: “Do you know that when bitcoin went from $17,000 to $3,000 that 86% of the people that owned it at $17,000 never sold it?” The comments on the acclaimed financial guru's post were also littered with comments like “I’m still here” and “Nothing has changed.”

其次，出售比特幣的人比你想像的少。 Stanley Druckenmiller 提到，當他第一次對比特幣感興趣時，與 Paul Tutor Jones 的一次談話激發了他的熱情。 Paul Tutor Jones 與Druckenmiller 分享的一個統計數據是這樣的：「你知道嗎，當比特幣從17,000 美元漲到3,000 美元時，86% 的人以17,000 美元的價格擁有它，卻從未出售過它？ 」這位著名金融大師的帖子上的評論也充斥著諸如“我還在這裡”和“一切都沒有改變”之類的評論。

But we have facts to back up these claims that bitcoin holding has remained steady. According to Glassnode, 78% of bitcoin’s supply hasn’t moved in six months.

但我們有事實支持比特幣持有量保持穩定的說法。根據 Glassnode 的數據，78% 的比特幣供應量在六個月內沒有變化。

Third, if the “bitcoin promoters” were all gone, the hashrate would be dropping. Hashrate refers to the level of computing power given to the network through mining. Yet despite the price, the bitcoin hashrate has been making all-time highs.

第三，如果「比特幣推動者」全部消失，算力就會下降。算力是指透過挖礦賦予網路的運算能力水準。然而，儘管價格昂貴，比特幣哈希率仍創下歷史新高。

There is a saying in bitcoin that miners are the most bullish bitcoiners of all. That’s because of the risks and capital outlays as well as the time it takes to plan, execute and sustain as a miner. If bitcoin was on its deathbed, the hashrate wouldn’t be climbing the way it is.

比特幣中有一句話，礦工是最看好比特幣的人。這是因為風險和資本支出以及作為礦工進行規劃、執行和維持所需的時間。如果比特幣已經瀕臨死亡，那麼哈希率就不會像現在這樣攀升。

We can revisit this post 12 months from now, and the odds are that bitcoin will still be creating blocks every 10 minutes, that the hashrate will be higher, that there will still be a 21 million supply cap and that the adoption of the network will be increasing.

我們可以在 12 個月後重新審視這篇文章，很可能比特幣仍將每 10 分鐘創建一個區塊，哈希率會更高，仍然有 2100 萬的供應上限，並且網路的採用將繼續正在增加。

Developer activity continues

開發者活動仍在繼續

Not only is investor interest in bitcoin still high, developer interest in crypto continues to evolve.

不僅投資者對比特幣的興趣仍然很高，開發者對加密貨幣的興趣也不斷發展。

The builders in the crypto industry are rolling out products and services to make storing, spending and running a business on bitcoin easier. The building has been nonstop.

加密產業的建造者正在推出產品和服務，使比特幣的儲存、消費和經營業務變得更加容易。大樓一直不停歇。

One of the most exciting things I've seen is the interest in small business owners in looking at how to accept bitcoin payments. This has always been challenging for merchants, given the challenges of confirmations and block times on the Bitcoin mainchain being approximately 10 minutes.

我看到的最令人興奮的事情之一是小企業主對如何接受比特幣支付感興趣。鑑於比特幣主鏈上的確認和區塊時間約為 10 分鐘，這對商家來說一直是一個挑戰。

The takeaway

外賣

The financial media and legacy gurus miss that bitcoin’s price is one thing and that the adoption story and technology around the ecosystem is another.

金融媒體和傳統專家忽略了比特幣的價格是一回事，圍繞生態系統的採用故事和技術是另一回事。

What they fail to recognize is that the bitcoin train has left the station – and over the long term there’s no slowing it down.

他們沒有意識到的是，比特幣列車已經離開車站——而且從長遠來看，它不會減慢速度。

Bitcoin is the song that does not end. The promoters haven't tucked tail, but instead are holding and building for the millions to come next.

比特幣是一首沒有結束的歌。發起人並沒有夾住尾巴，而是為接下來的數百萬人持有和建造。
