The Impact of the Sign

標誌的影響

After Langalis held up the sign during a 2017 House Financial Services hearing, he was removed from the building for violating committee rules. However, the image of the sign disseminated rapidly across the internet, attracting widespread attention. Following the incident, Bitcoin's price surged by 3.7%.

蘭加利斯在 2017 年眾議院金融服務聽證會上舉起標語後，因違反委員會規則而被逐出大樓。然而，該標誌的形像在網路上迅速傳播，引起了廣泛關注。事件發生後，比特幣價格飆升3.7%。

Since then, Bitcoin has experienced a meteoric rise in value, soaring from around $2,700 in July 2017 to a peak of over $73,000 in November 2021. This appreciation has been fueled in part by significant regulatory developments in the United States, including the approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds earlier this year.

此後，比特幣的價值迅速上漲，從2017 年7 月的2,700 美元左右飆升至2021 年11 月超過73,000 美元的峰值。幣的批准今年稍早比特幣交易所交易基金。

The sale of the iconic "Buy Bitcoin" sign not only marked a milestone in Bitcoin's history but also underscored its transformative power and the growing recognition it has gained in the world of finance and investment.
