这 5 个人最初批评比特币，但后来改变了主意

尽管比特币自问世以来就面临着很多批评，但随着市场的发展，即使是最直言不讳的批评者也不得不三思而后行。

People can change their minds about a lot of things, and the crypto market is no exception. Even the most vocal critics have had to think twice as the market has grown. Here are five people who have changed their minds about crypto assets, from Donald Trump to Mark Cuban.

人们可以改变对很多事情的看法，加密货币市场也不例外。随着市场的增长，即使是最直言不讳的批评者也不得不三思而后行。从唐纳德·特朗普到马克·库班，有五个人改变了对加密资产的看法。

1. Donald Trump: Bitcoin “is very volatile and not based on anything”

1. 唐纳德·特朗普：比特币“非常不稳定，没有任何基础”

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is a great example of how people can change their minds about cryptocurrencies. At first, he was really critical of the sector.

美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普是人们如何改变对加密货币看法的一个很好的例子。起初，他对该行业确实持批评态度。

In 2019, he tweeted that he wasn’t a fan of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. He said they aren’t money and their value is highly volatile and based on nothing.

2019年，他在推特上表示，他不喜欢比特币和其他加密货币。他说，它们不是金钱，它们的价值波动很大，而且毫无根据。

…and International. We have only one real currency in the USA, and it is stronger than ever, both dependable and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the World, and it will always stay that way. It is called the United States Dollar!

......和国际。我们在美国只有一种真实货币，而且它比以往任何时候都更强大，既可靠又可靠。它是迄今为止世界上最具主导地位的货币，并且将永远保持这种状态。它的名字叫美元！

He also said that the U.S. dollar is and will continue to be the most dominant currency in the world.

他还表示，美元现在并将继续是世界上最主要的货币。

However, Trump’s position has evolved. As a candidate for the 2024 U.S. presidential elections, he has officially endorsed Bitcoin and the broader crypto market.

然而，特朗普的立场已经发生变化。作为 2024 年美国总统选举的候选人，他正式认可了比特币和更广泛的加密市场。

Earlier this year, at a rally, he criticized policies that are bad for crypto assets and said that the U.S. needs fair regulatory frameworks. Since then, Trump has kept saying things that are pro-crypto.

今年早些时候，在一次集会上，他批评了不利于加密资产的政策，并表示美国需要公平的监管框架。从那时起，特朗普就一直在说支持加密货币的话。

In addition to accepting crypto assets for his campaign donations, he recently appointed J.D. Vance, a pro-crypto senator, as his campaign vice president. This move underscores his support for the crypto market.

除了接受加密资产作为竞选捐款外，他最近还任命支持加密货币的参议员 JD Vance 担任竞选副总统。此举凸显了他对加密货币市场的支持。

2. Larry Fink: Bitcoin is “a tool for money laundering”

2.拉里·芬克：比特币是“洗钱工具”

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's views on crypto assets have also changed a lot over the years. At first, Fink wasn’t sure about cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin.

贝莱德首席执行官拉里·芬克（Larry Fink）多年来对加密资产的看法也发生了很大变化。起初，芬克对加密货币，尤其是比特币并不确定。

In 2017, he described BTC as a “tool for money laundering” during a meeting with the Institute of International Finance. By July 2018, he reiterated that BlackRock’s clients were not interested in investing in Bitcoin.

2017年，他在与国际金融协会的一次会议上将比特币描述为“洗钱工具”。到 2018 年 7 月，他重申贝莱德的客户对投资比特币不感兴趣。

But like Trump, Fink has changed his mind. In January 2024, he compared Bitcoin to gold, stating it’s an asset that offers protection.

但和特朗普一样，芬克也改变了主意。 2024 年 1 月，他将比特币与黄金进行了比较，称这是一种提供保护的资产。

“Ultimately, it’s not much different from what gold has represented for thousands of years. It’s a class of assets that provides protection,” he told CNBC.

“最终，它与数千年来黄金所代表的东西没有太大区别。这是一类提供保护的资产，”他告诉 CNBC。

In March, he expressed being “pleasantly surprised” by the success of the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) launched by his company.

3月份，他对公司推出的iShares比特币信托ETF（IBIT）的成功表示“惊喜”。

Recently, Fink explained why his opinion has changed. He revealed he did personal research to better understand crypto assets. Now, he views Bitcoin as a “legitimate financial tool” that can provide returns uncorrelated with traditional financial markets.

最近，芬克解释了他的观点发生变化的原因。他透露，他进行了个人研究以更好地了解加密资产。现在，他将比特币视为一种“合法的金融工具”，可以提供与传统金融市场不相关的​​回报。

3. Mark Cuban: “I’d rather have bananas than Bitcoin”

名单上有亿万富翁、美国政治家马克·库班（Mark Cuban），他对中本聪的货币做出了令人惊讶的转变。

He’s been critical of the asset for a while now, particularly regarding its importance and utility. In a video published in 2019, he said BTC had “no intrinsic value.”

Cuban went further, revealing he “would prefer to have bananas over Bitcoin.”

库班更进一步，透露他“更喜欢香蕉而不是比特币”。

But times have changed, and Mark Cuban has started investing in crypto. In recent years, he’s been promoting crypto projects like Layer 2 Polygon (MATIC) and Injective (INJ).

但时代已经变了，马克·库班已经开始投资加密货币。近年来，他一直在推广 Layer 2 Polygon (MATIC) 和 Injective (INJ) 等加密项目。

On July 17 of this year, he acknowledged that “the Bitcoin market is global.” With the dollar struggling, Cuban believes BTC could stand out and become a “global currency.”

He used to think Bitcoin was “garbage” and a “useless currency.” O’Leary was convinced that crypto assets were just “pure speculation.” Now, he’s a big believer in Bitcoin and even calls it “digital gold.”

他曾经认为比特币是“垃圾”，是“无用的货币”。奥利里坚信加密资产只是“纯粹的投机”。现在，他是比特币的忠实信徒，甚至称其为“数字黄金”。

In April 2024, O’Leary revealed he had allocated 11% of his portfolio to cryptocurrencies. He also stated he prefers holding Bitcoin rather than investing in Bitcoin Spot ETFs.

2024 年 4 月，奥利里透露，他已将其投资组合的 11% 配置为加密货币。他还表示，他更喜欢持有比特币，而不是投资比特币现货 ETF。

“If you’re a maximalist like me and you see Bitcoin as digital gold for the long term, you’ll never invest in an ETF,” he said.

“如果你像我一样是一个极端主义者，并且你将比特币视为长期的数字黄金，那么你永远不会投资 ETF，”他说。

Although this stance seems to divide many, it shows his confidence in the asset’s potential.
