比特币一文不值，就像所有庞氏骗局一样

从某物中赚钱的能力并不能定义其价值。伯尼·麦道夫 (Bernie Madoff) 的 650 亿美元（510 亿英镑）计划对他来说价值数十年

The value of something isn’t determined by its ability to generate income. Bernie Madoff’s $65 billion (£51 billion) scheme was worth a lot to him for decades, and anyone who got out before it blew up could make a good profit—whether or not they believed it was a fraud.

某物的价值并不取决于其创收能力。几十年来，伯尼·麦道夫 (Bernie Madoff) 的 650 亿美元（510 亿英镑）计划对他来说价值不菲，任何在该计划爆发之前逃脱的人都可以赚取丰厚的利润，无论他们是否相信这是一个骗局。

Just because you’ll likely make a quick 10-20 percent return on Bitcoin over the next couple of months doesn’t mean it has any value.

仅仅因为您可能会在接下来的几个月内获得比特币 10-20% 的快速回报，并不意味着它有任何价值。

Both the Financial Conduct Authority and the Securities and Exchange Commission use the term “cryptoassets” generously, more out of a lack of a better word than a strong belief in its definition.

金融行为监管局和证券交易委员会都慷慨地使用“加密资产”一词，更多是因为缺乏更好的词，而不是对其定义的坚定信念。

An asset is typically defined as “something valuable belonging to a person or organization that can be used for the payment of debts.”

资产通常被定义为“属于个人或组织、可用于偿还债务的有价值的东西”。

Bitcoin is at best a temporary measure, and I imagine you’d rather have trouble paying off any but the most illicit debts with it.

比特币充其量只是一种临时措施，我想你宁愿用它来偿还除最非法债务之外的任何债务。
