Monero（XMR）爆炸了30％，沉默了很長時間後將新的高高設置

昨天，“古代”隱私硬幣Monero（$ XMR）在沉默了很長時間後突然爆炸。它在一天內飆升了30％，價格上漲至329美元，自2020年以來創造了一個新的高價。這11年的硬幣是什麼？為什麼突然飆升？

Yesterday, the "ancient" privacy coin Monero ($XMR) suddenly exploded after being silent for a long time. It soared 30% in a single day, and the price rose to $329, setting a new high since 2021. What is this 11-year-old coin? And why did it suddenly soar?

昨天，“古代”隱私硬幣Monero（$ XMR）在沉默了很長時間後突然爆炸。它在一天內飆升了30％，價格上漲至329美元，自2021年以來創造了一個新的高價。這11歲的硬幣是什麼？為什麼突然飆升？

The most OG privacy coin

最多的隱私硬幣

In 2013, Nicolas van Saberhagen published the "CryptoNote" protocol. Monero was born on this basis in April 2014 and switched to RandomX in 2019.

2013年，尼古拉斯·範·薩伯哈根（Nicolas van Saberhagen）發表了“隱腳”協議。 Monero於2014年4月以此為基礎出生，並於2019年改用Randomx。

Monero uses technologies such as ring signatures, stealth addresses, and RingCT to hide the sender, receiver, and amount of transactions. This high degree of anonymity gives it an advantage in privacy protection, and Monero's modular code structure has been praised by Wladimir J. van der Laan, one of the Bitcoin Core maintainers.

Monero使用戒指簽名，隱形地址和環圈等技術來隱藏發件人，接收器和交易量。這種高度的匿名性使它在隱私保護方面具有優勢，而Monero的模塊化代碼結構受到了比特幣核心維護者之一Wladimir J. van der Laan的稱讚。

However, while maintaining privacy, it also makes it difficult to meet the regulatory authorities' anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) requirements. As one of the most well-known privacy coins, it is a coin with two sides. On the one hand, its focus on privacy, decentralization and scalability is loved by many people who love "liberalism", but on the other hand, it has become a hotbed for criminals.

但是，在保持隱私權的同時，也很難滿足監管機構的反洗錢（AML）和反恐融資（CTF）要求。作為最著名的隱私硬幣之一，它是一枚具有雙方的硬幣。一方面，許多熱愛“自由主義”的人對隱私，權力下放和可擴展性的關注，但另一方面，它已成為罪犯的溫床。

Criminals' favorite

罪犯的最愛

At the end of summer 2016, with the arrest of Ross William Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road, the police department mastered the Bitcoin tracing technology in the long struggle. Major dark web markets such as AlphaBay began to abandon Bitcoin and adopt Monero, which is more difficult to trace. North Korea's hacker group Lazarus Group also likes to use Monero to "launder" assets, which made Monero's market value break through "from 5 million US dollars to 185 million US dollars" for the first time in 2016 and the rapid growth of transaction volume.

在2016年夏末，隨著絲綢之路的創始人羅斯·威廉·烏爾布里希特（Ross William Ulbricht）被捕，警察局在漫長的鬥爭中掌握了比特幣追踪技術。 Alphabay等主要的黑暗網絡市場開始放棄比特幣並採用Monero，這很難追踪。朝鮮的黑客集團拉撒路集團（Lazarus Group）也喜歡使用Monero來“洗錢”資產，這使Monero的市場價值從2016年首次從500萬美元到1.85億美元，並且交易量的迅速增長。

2020 is the second hot period for Monero. This year, the terrorist organization ISIS updated its website, indicating that it would no longer accept Bitcoin donations but the more private token Monero. The reason is that if ISIS's Bitcoin reserves are too large, it may be difficult for the terrorist organization to transfer or cash them out. A report from Chainalysis also confirmed this, saying that ISIS holds less than $100,000 in Bitcoin, and most other terrorist organizations are in a similar situation.

2020年是Monero的第二個炎熱時期。今年，恐怖組織ISIS更新了其網站，表明它將不再接受比特幣捐贈，而是更私人的代幣Monero。原因是，如果ISIS的比特幣儲備太大，恐怖組織可能很難將其轉移或兌現。 Chainalysis的一份報告還證實了這一點，稱ISIS的比特幣不到100,000美元，大多數其他恐怖組織處於類似情況。

In the same year, darknet market sales increased by 70% year-on-year. Monero became one of the main payment tools due to its privacy characteristics, accounting for 45%, almost the same as Bitcoin.

同年，DarkNet市場銷售同比增長70％。由於其隱私特徵，Monero成為主要支付工具之一，佔45％，幾乎與比特幣相同。

Darknet transactions, scams, ransoms for kidnapping, and exit routes for hackers to steal coins, it can be said that Monero is notorious. With the large-scale adoption of "underground transactions", the price of XMR tokens has risen from $50 at the beginning of 2020 to $150 at the end of the year, and reached $450 by mid-2021.

Darknet交易，騙局，用於綁架的贖金以及用於竊取硬幣的退出路線，可以說Monero臭名昭著。隨著“地下交易”的大規模採用，XMR代幣的價格從2020年初的50美元上漲至年底的150美元，到2021年中時達到450美元。

Key to Freedom

自由的關鍵

Although Monero has long been associated with "crime", it is only a technical tool. The Monero development team has always adhered to the "code neutral" position. They emphasize that "Monero is designed for everyday use by ordinary people, and any technology can be abused, such as cash." They do not cooperate with criminal activities and have no connection with criminal organizations.

儘管Monero長期以來一直與“犯罪”有關，但它只是一種技術工具。 Monero開發團隊一直遵守“代碼中立”職位。他們強調說：“ Monero專為普通百姓的日常使用而設計，任何技術都可以濫用，例如現金。”他們不與犯罪活動合作，也不與犯罪組織有任何联系。

Therefore, from another perspective, it implements Bitcoin's "freedom of transaction" and is deeply supported by many geeks who support the spirit of "liberalism", "privacy first", and "decentralized anti-censorship". Many people in the community believe that it is the real Bitcoin.

因此，從另一個角度來看，它實現了比特幣的“交易自由”，並得到許多支持“自由主義”，“首先”和“分散的反審查”精神的極客的支持。社區中的許多人認為這是真正的比特幣。

John McAfee, who founded the first antivirus software McAfee, is one of them. "Monero is one of the truly anonymous cryptocurrencies, while Bitcoin is not truly anonymous." He expressed his recognition of Monero's technical strength and privacy features on many occasions during his lifetime. Monero's anonymity and untraceability are highly consistent with the concept of "privacy liberalism" that McAfee has long advocated.

創建了第一個防病毒軟件McAfee的John McAfee就是其中之一。 “ Monero是真正的匿名加密貨幣之一，而比特幣並不是真正的匿名。”他在一生中多次表達了Monero對Monero的技術實力和隱私功能的認識。 Monero的匿名性和不可追溯性與McAfee長期以來一直主張的“隱私自由主義”的概念高度一致。

Even "Bitcoin Jesus" Roger Ver "rebelled". In his first public interview after being released on bail in 2024, Roger said that he decided to give up Bitcoin and instead favored tokens such as Monero that provide more privacy. "Most people today use custodial wallets, which are not really wallets at all, but just an account that is no more private than your account at Bank of America or Paypal. But fortunately, there are other cryptocurrencies like Monero that provide more privacy protection."

甚至是“比特幣耶穌”羅傑·韋爾（Roger ver）。羅傑（Roger）在2024年被保釋後的第一次公開採訪中說，他決定放棄比特幣，而是讚成像蒙羅（Monero）這樣的代幣，以提供更多的隱私。 “當今大多數人都使用保管錢包，這些錢包根本不是錢包，而只是一個不比您在美國銀行或貝寶（Paypal）帳戶更私密的帳戶。但是幸運的是，還有其他加密貨幣（例如Monero）提供了更多的隱私保護。”
