彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）挑战比特币的未来，因为中央银行选择黄金

在对比特币作为数字叙事的鲜明批评中，经济学家和长期加密怀疑论者彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）重新点燃了辩论

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.

经济学家彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）挑战了比特币作为储备资产的未来，质疑中央银行为何选择加密货币以取代传统的货币系统，为什么中央银行选择黄金。

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回应了一个声称黄金是过去的用户，而比特币是未来。

“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.

“如果黄金是过去的，比特币是未来，为什么要为美元不再是储备金的未来做准备的外国中央银行，用黄金而不是比特币代替了他们的美元储备？”席夫问。

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.

他的评论是因为全世界的中央银行一直在大大增加其黄金持有量，以回应拜登政府对美国债务义务违约的警告。

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?

中央银行正在为美元不再为储备货币做准备。但是，如果黄金是过去的，比特币是未来，为什么他们要用黄金而不是比特币代替美元储备？

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.

的确，包括中国，印度和俄罗斯在内的主要经济体全年都积累了黄金，强调了贵金属作为对冲金融不稳定的持久作用。

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，尽管BTC的价格上涨和近年来零售和机构投资者的普及率上升，但中央银行没有表现出采用加密货币作为储备资产的迹象。

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.

比特币面临着几个关键威慑，包括其高波动性，面临的监管障碍以及中央银行直接在加密货币市场进行干预的历史先例。

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.

这与黄金形成鲜明的对比，黄金在货币体系中具有长期的作用，并由中央银行积极交易，使他们能够根据需要调整其储备组成。

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.

关于比特币和黄金的辩论陷入了金融界的更广泛的鸿沟。那些对分散金融革命的投注正在转向像比特币这样的加密货币，而政府机构正在为带有黄金等工具的多极货币未来做准备。

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.

随着世界的金融格局经历了一种转变，中央银行是否会以他们信任黄金的方式来信任比特币的问题仍然是未来几年至关重要的。
