彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）挑戰比特幣的未來，因為中央銀行選擇黃金

在對比特幣作為數字敘事的鮮明批評中，經濟學家和長期加密懷疑論者彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）重新點燃了辯論

Economist Peter Schiff has challenged Bitcoin's future as a reserve asset, questioning why central banks are choosing gold over BTC if the cryptocurrency is set to replace traditional monetary systems.

經濟學家彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）挑戰了比特幣作為儲備資產的未來，質疑中央銀行為何選擇加密貨幣以取代傳統的貨幣系統，為什麼中央銀行選擇黃金。

In a post on X, Schiff responded to a user who claimed that gold is the past and Bitcoin is the future.

在X上的一篇文章中，Schiff回應了一個聲稱黃金是過去的用戶，而比特幣是未來。

“If gold is the past and Bitcoin is the future, why are foreign central banks that are preparing for a future where the U.S. dollar is no longer the reserve currency, replacing their dollar reserves with gold and not Bitcoin?” Schiff quizzed.

“如果黃金是過去的，比特幣是未來，為什麼要為美元不再是儲備金的未來做準備的外國中央銀行，用黃金而不是比特幣代替了他們的美元儲備？”席夫問。

His comments come as central banks worldwide have been massively increasing their gold holdings in response to the Biden administration's warnings about a possible default on U.S. debt obligations.

他的評論是因為全世界的中央銀行一直在大大增加其黃金持有量，以回應拜登政府對美國債務義務違約的警告。

The central banks are preparing for a future where the U.S. dollar is no longer the reserve currency. But if gold is the past and Bitcoin is the future, why are they replacing their dollar reserves with gold and not Bitcoin?

中央銀行正在為美元不再為儲備貨幣做準備。但是，如果黃金是過去的，比特幣是未來，為什麼他們要用黃金而不是比特幣代替美元儲備？

Indeed, major economies, including China, India, and Russia, have been accumulating gold throughout the year, highlighting the enduring role of the precious metal as a hedge against financial instability.

的確，包括中國，印度和俄羅斯在內的主要經濟體全年都積累了黃金，強調了貴金屬作為對沖金融不穩定的持久作用。

However, despite BTC's surge in price and rising popularity among retail and institutional investors in recent years, central banks have shown no sign of adopting the cryptocurrency as a reserve asset.

但是，儘管BTC的價格上漲和近年來零售和機構投資者的普及率上升，但中央銀行沒有表現出採用加密貨幣作為儲備資產的跡象。

Bitcoin faces several key deterrents, including its high volatility, the regulatory hurdles it faces, and the lack of historical precedent for central banks to intervene directly in crypto markets.

比特幣面臨著幾個關鍵威懾，包括其高波動性，面臨的監管障礙以及中央銀行直接在加密貨幣市場進行干預的歷史先例。

This contrasts sharply with gold, which has a long-standing role in monetary systems and is actively traded by central banks, enabling them to adjust their reserve compositions as needed.

這與黃金形成鮮明的對比，黃金在貨幣體系中具有長期的作用，並由中央銀行積極交易，使他們能夠根據需要調整其儲備組成。

The debate over Bitcoin and gold taps into a broader divide within financial circles. Those betting on a decentralized financial revolution are turning to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, while government institutions are preparing for a multipolar monetary future with instruments like gold.

關於比特幣和黃金的辯論陷入了金融界的更廣泛的鴻溝。那些對分散金融革命的投注正在轉向像比特幣這樣的加密貨幣，而政府機構正在為帶有黃金等工具的多極貨幣未來做準備。

As the world's financial landscape undergoes a transformation, the question of whether central banks will ever come to trust Bitcoin the way they trust gold remains a crucial one for the years ahead.

隨著世界的金融格局經歷了一種轉變，中央銀行是否會以他們信任黃金的方式來信任比特幣的問題仍然是未來幾年至關重要的。
