Monero（XMR）爆炸了30％，沉默了很长时间后将新的高高设置

昨天，“古代”隐私硬币Monero（$ XMR）在沉默了很长时间后突然爆炸。它在一天内飙升了30％，价格上涨至329美元，自2020年以来创造了一个新的高价。这11年的硬币是什么？为什么突然飙升？

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”隐私硬币Monero（$ XMR）在沉默了很长时间后突然爆炸。它在一天内飙升了30％，价格上涨至329美元，自2021年以来创造了一个新的高价。这11岁的硬币是什么？为什么突然飙升？

The most OG privacy coin

最多的隐私硬币

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·范·萨伯哈根（Nicolas van Saberhagen）发表了“隐脚”协议。 Monero于2014年4月以此为基础出生，并于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使用戒指签名，隐形地址和环圈等技术来隐藏发件人，接收器和交易量。这种高度的匿名性使它在隐私保护方面具有优势，而Monero的模块化代码结构受到了比特币核心维护者之一Wladimir J. van der Laan的称赞。

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，在保持隐私权的同时，也很难满足监管机构的反洗钱（AML）和反恐融资（CTF）要求。作为最著名的隐私硬币之一，它是一枚具有双方的硬币。一方面，许多热爱“自由主义”的人对隐私，权力下放和可扩展性的关注，但另一方面，它已成为罪犯的温床。

Criminals' favorite

罪犯的最爱

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，随着丝绸之路的创始人罗斯·威廉·乌尔布里希特（Ross William Ulbricht）被捕，警察局在漫长的斗争中掌握了比特币追踪技术。 Alphabay等主要的黑暗网络市场开始放弃比特币并采用Monero，这很难追踪。朝鲜的黑客集团拉撒路集团（Lazarus Group）也喜欢使用Monero来“洗钱”资产，这使Monero的市场价值从2016年首次从500万美元到1.85亿美元，并且交易量的迅速增长。

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的第二个炎热时期。今年，恐怖组织ISIS更新了其网站，表明它将不再接受比特币捐赠，而是更私人的代币Monero。原因是，如果ISIS的比特币储备太大，恐怖组织可能很难将其转移或兑现。 Chainalysis的一份报告还证实了这一点，称ISIS的比特币不到100,000美元，大多数其他恐怖组织处于类似情况。

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市场销售同比增长70％。由于其隐私特征，Monero成为主要支付工具之一，占45％，几乎与比特币相同。

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，骗局，用于绑架的赎金以及用于窃取硬币的退出路线，可以说Monero臭名昭著。随着“地下交易”的大规模采用，XMR代币的价格从2020年初的50美元上涨至年底的150美元，到2021年中时达到450美元。

Key to Freedom

自由的关键

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.

尽管Monero长期以来一直与“犯罪”有关，但它只是一种技术工具。 Monero开发团队一直遵守“代码中立”职位。他们强调说：“ Monero专为普通百姓的日常使用而设计，任何技术都可以滥用，例如现金。”他们不与犯罪活动合作，也不与犯罪组织有任何联系。

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，从另一个角度来看，它实现了比特币的“交易自由”，并得到许多支持“自由主义”，“首先”和“分散的反审查”精神的极客的支持。社区中的许多人认为这是真正的比特币。

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.

创建了第一个防病毒软件McAfee的John McAfee就是其中之一。 “ Monero是真正的匿名加密货币之一，而比特币并不是真正的匿名。”他表达了对蒙罗（Monero）一生中许多场合的技术实力和隐私功能的认识。 Monero的匿名性和不可追溯性与McAfee长期以来一直主张的“隐私自由主义”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“比特币耶稣”罗杰·韦尔（Roger ver）。罗杰（Roger）在2024年被保释后的第一次公开采访中说，他决定放弃比特币，而是赞成像蒙罗（Monero）这样的代币，以提供更多的隐私。 “当今大多数人都使用保管钱包，这些钱包根本不是钱包，而只是一个不比您在美国银行或贝宝（Paypal）帐户更私密的帐户。但是幸运的是，还有其他加密货币（例如Monero）提供了更多的隐私保护。”
