唐納德·川普贏得美國大選後，加密貨幣價值大幅上漲，比爾·蓋茲的比特幣警告再次浮出水面

當選總統川普是加密貨幣的直言不諱的支持者（儘管是新人）。

Bill Gates has a warning for Bitcoin investors as the cryptocurrency’s value dramatically shot up following Donald Trump's US election victory.

比爾蓋茲向比特幣投資者發出警告，因為唐納德川普贏得美國大選後，加密貨幣的價值急劇上漲。

President-Elect Trump is a known - albeit new - supporter of cryptocurrency.

當選總統川普是眾所周知的（儘管是新的）加密貨幣支持者。

Among other controversial policies, he has promised to maintain the federal government’s Bitcoin (BTC) reserves, vowing to make America ‘the crypto capital of the planet’.

在其他有爭議的政策中，他承諾維持聯邦政府的比特幣（BTC）儲備，並發誓要使美國成為「地球的加密之都」。

Bitcoin surged by more than 10 percent on Wednesday morning (November 6), hitting a record high of almost $75,400, with its previous peak, recorded in March, being just under $74,000.

週三上午（11 月 6 日），比特幣飆升超過 10%，創下近 75,400 美元的歷史新高，而上一個峰值是 3 月創下的，略低於 74,000 美元。

The climb began Tuesday night (November 5) as counts began to be declared and it was projected the Republican Party nominee would likely beat Democrat Kamala H to the White House.

週二晚間（11 月 5 日）計票結果開始公佈，預計共和黨提名人可能會擊敗民主黨人卡馬拉·H 入主白宮。

At the time of publishing on Wednesday afternoon, BTC has dipped slightly to around $74,611.

截至週三下午發佈時，BTC 已小幅下跌至 74,611 美元左右。

But finance experts reckon it could see a $16,000 boost in the lead-up to Trump's January 6 inauguration.

但金融專家認為，在川普 1 月 6 日就職典禮之前，其股價可能會上漲 16,000 美元。

Javier Molina, market analyst at investment platform eToro, told iNews: “With Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, the crypto asset market – particularly bitcoin – has started to react, anticipating potential policies that could favour these digital assets.

投資平台eToro 的市場分析師哈維爾·莫利納(Javier Molina) 告訴iNews：「隨著唐納德·川普在美國總統大選中獲勝，加密資產市場——尤其是比特幣——已經開始做出反應，預計可能有利於這些數位資產的潛在政策。

“Technical projections place bitcoin’s price between $80,000 and $90,000 before his inauguration in January 2025.”

“技術預測認為，在他 2025 年 1 月就職之前，比特幣的價格在 80,000 美元到 90,000 美元之間。”

Those who've never invested in BTC before might be wondering if now is the time to do so, but Bill Gates previously issued a stark reminder to those considering the plunge.

那些以前從未投資過比特幣的人可能想知道現在是否是時候這樣做，但比爾蓋茲此前向那些考慮暴跌的人發出了嚴厲的提醒。

Speaking to Bloomberg Technology in 2021, the Microsoft founder discussed crypto-advocate and richest man in the world Elon Musk.

這位微軟創辦人在 2021 年接受彭博科技採訪時討論了加密貨幣倡導者和世界首富伊隆馬斯克 (Elon Musk)。

That same year, Elon's Tesla invested some $1.5 billion in BTC, according to CNBC.

根據 CNBC 報道，同年，伊隆 (Elon) 的特斯拉 (Tesla) 向 BTC 投資了約 15 億美元。

At the time, Gates said: "Elon has tons of money and he's very sophisticated so I don't worry that his Bitcoin will randomly go up or down. I do think people get brought into these manias who may not have as much money to spare so I'm not bullish on Bitcoin."

當時，蓋茲表示：「埃隆擁有大量資金，而且他非常老練，所以我不擔心他的比特幣會隨機上漲或下跌。我確實認為，人們可能沒有那麼多錢來陷入這些狂熱。」所以我不看好比特幣。

But he advised: "My general thought would be if you have less money than Elon, watch out."

但他建議：“我的總體想法是，如果你的錢比埃隆少，那就要小心了。”

While the Microsoft founder had his concerns about BTC, he did note that digital money is 'a super positive thing' especially when transparency and regulation are involved.

儘管這位微軟創始人對比特幣表示擔憂，但他確實指出，數位貨幣是“一件超級積極的事情”，尤其是在涉及透明度和監管的情況下。

But before you start investing, it's worth bearing in mind that crypto transactions are irreversible and the market is known for being incredibly volatile.

但在開始投資之前，值得記住的是，加密貨幣交易是不可逆轉的，而且市場以極不穩定而聞名。

Laith Khalaf, head of investment analysis at AJ Bell, warned: “While the price of bitcoin is currently riding high, in the past we’ve seen strong performance quickly giving way to dramatic price falls.

AJ Bell 投資分析主管 Laith Khalaf 警告：「雖然比特幣的價格目前居高不下，但在過去，我們看到強勁的表現很快就被價格大幅下跌所取代。

“That in itself is a big hindrance to bitcoin being adopted by consumers and businesses as a means of exchange and a blot on the long term investment case for the cryptocurrency.

「這本身就是消費者和企業採用比特幣作為交換手段的一大障礙，也是加密貨幣長期投資案例的污點。

"If you think bitcoin is the future of currency despite its volatility, ask yourself if you’d be willing to be paid by your employer or billed by your mortgage provider in the cryptocurrency.”

“如果你認為比特幣是貨幣的未來，儘管它具有波動性，那麼問問你自己，你是否願意用加密貨幣由你的雇主支付費用或由你的抵押貸款提供者收取費用。”
