比特币 vs. 卡尔达诺：加密货币巨头的冲突

比特币社区的知名人士 Tuur Demeester 最近对卡尔达诺 (ADA) 创始人查尔斯·霍斯金森 (Charles Hoskinson) 进行了回击。

Bitcoin (BTC) maximalist Tuur Demeester has fired back at Input Output Global (IOG) and Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson over his recent remarks about the flagship cryptocurrency.

比特币（BTC）极端主义者图尔·德米斯特（Tuur Demeester）对Input Output Global（IOG）和卡尔达诺（ADA）创始人查尔斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）最近关于旗舰加密货币的言论进行了回击。

In a video that quickly went viral on social media on Feb. 21, Hoskinson sparked a fresh wave of debate about Bitcoin with his controversial statements. Among other things, he suggested that the crypto industry doesn’t need BTC.

2 月 21 日，霍斯金森的一段颇具争议的言论在社交媒体上迅速疯传，视频引发了新一轮关于比特币的争论。除此之外，他还建议加密行业不需要比特币。

According to the Cardano founder, another digital gold can emerge, and it might be even more secure than Bitcoin. He went on to compare BTC to Windows, suggesting that the largest cryptocurrency could end up like the outdated operating system that lost out to more innovative platforms like iOS and Android.

根据卡尔达诺创始人的说法，另一种数字黄金可能会出现，它可能比比特币更安全。他接着将 BTC 与 Windows 进行了比较，表明最大的加密货币最终可能会像过时的操作系统一样，输给 iOS 和 Android 等更具创新性的平台。

“If Bitcoin doesn’t figure out how to adapt, pivot and get people's attention, it will slowly die a very boring death,” Hoskinson warned, adding that BTC is losing out on innovation.

霍斯金森警告说：“如果比特币不弄清楚如何适应、转向并吸引人们的注意力，它将慢慢以一种非常无聊的方式消亡。”他补充说，比特币正在失去创新。

In response to Hoskinson’s latest remarks, Demeester highlighted Cardano’s waning influence in the crypto market. According to him, ADA’s market dominance has sharply declined over the last three years.

针对霍斯金森的最新言论，德米斯特强调了卡尔达诺在加密货币市场的影响力正在减弱。他表示，ADA 的市场主导地位在过去三年中急剧下降。

“Cardano (ADA) 3 years ago: 10% of Bitcoin’s market cap. Today: 1%,” Demeester stated, adding that the numbers show “Cardano's reality.”

“卡尔达诺 (ADA) 三年前：占比特币市值的 10%。今天：1%，”Demeester 说道，并补充说这些数字显示了“卡尔达诺的现实”。

Indeed, ADA has slipped out of the top 10 cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap, which is a stark contrast to its former status as one of the crypto giants alongside Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). The native token of Cardano also reflects the broader trend, having fallen by 89.2% from its all-time high in September 2021.

事实上，ADA 已经跌出了 CoinMarketCap 排名前 10 的加密货币，这与它之前作为与比特币 (BTC) 和以太坊 (ETH) 并列的加密货币巨头之一的地位形成了鲜明的对比。卡尔达诺的原生代币也反映了更广泛的趋势，较 2021 年 9 月的历史高点下跌了 89.2%。

Cardano’s recent endeavors, such as the Chang hard fork that introduced decentralized governance, have failed to substantially boost ADA’s price. Despite the new capabilities, the market’s response has been lukewarm.

卡尔达诺最近的努力，例如引入去中心化治理的 Chang 硬分叉，未能大幅提高 ADA 的价格。尽管有新功能，市场反应却冷淡。

The latest clash between Bitcoin and Cardano comes as the two cryptocurrencies continue to be separated by a wide margin in terms of market dominance. While BTC maintains over 45% of the total crypto market cap, Cardano now accounts for less than 1%.

比特币和卡尔达诺之间的最新冲突发生之际，这两种加密货币在市场主导地位方面仍然存在很大差距。虽然 BTC 保持着加密货币总市值的 45% 以上，但卡尔达诺目前占比不到 1%。

This metric highlights Demeester’s point that Bitcoin remains the main cryptocurrency, while Cardano’s influence continues to diminish.

这一指标凸显了德米斯特的观点，即比特币仍然是主要的加密货币，而卡尔达诺的影响力继续减弱。
