比特幣（BTC）搶盡風頭：調查發現美國人現在更喜歡比特幣而不是黃金

大多數了解加密貨幣的人都知道，比特幣由於其特性，通常被稱為「數位黃金」。一項新的研究表明，越來越多的美國人更喜歡比特幣而不是黃金。

A new study reveals that more and more people in the U.S. prefer Bitcoin to gold, with a recent survey showing that nearly 52% of respondents admitted they were selling gold or stocks to invest in BTC.

一項新研究顯示，越來越多的美國人更喜歡比特幣而不是黃金，最近的一項調查顯示，近 52% 的受訪者承認他們正在出售黃金或股票來投資比特幣。

The survey, conducted by GameFi platform ChainPlay and Storible, asked 1,428 Americans about cryptocurrencies and investments in their lives. According to the report, over 68% of Americans now own some crypto, and 77% consider increasing their crypto investment in 2025.

這項調查由 GameFi 平台 ChainPlay 和 Storible 進行，詢問了 1,428 名美國人有關加密貨幣及其生活中的投資的情況。根據該報告，超過 68% 的美國人現在擁有一些加密貨幣，77% 的人考慮在 2025 年增加加密貨幣投資。

Interestingly, the survey also found that 50% of crypto owners are baby boomers, while nearly 30% are millennials, and the rest are Gen Z. The report authors conclude that crypto owners get younger. However, it is not clear what digits were used as a reference point. The total lack of Gen X representatives in this report raises questions. Now that’s the real lost generation!

有趣的是，調查還發現，50% 的加密貨幣所有者是嬰兒潮世代，近30% 是千禧世代，其餘的是Z 世代。 。然而，尚不清楚使用哪些數字作為參考點。本報告中完全缺乏 X 世代代表，引發了疑問。這才是真正迷失的一代！

Unfortunately, the report doesn’t specify what the groups of respondents were and how ChainPlay and Storible chose who to survey. According to other sources, only 13% of Americans owned crypto as of November 2024. It seems that the number heavily depends on the methodology.

不幸的是，該報告沒有具體說明受訪者群體是什麼，以及 ChainPlay 和 Storible 如何選擇調查對象。根據其他消息來源，截至 2024 年 11 月，只有 13% 的美國人擁有加密貨幣。

New crypto investment stats

新的加密貨幣投資統計數據

A survey revealed that Trump’s victory made a serious impact on people’s perception of cryptocurrencies, with 38% of respondents deciding to invest in crypto following the election outcome.

一項調查顯示，川普的勝利嚴重影響了人們對加密貨幣的看法，38%的受訪者在選舉結果後決定投資加密貨幣。

A huge amount of these people, 84%, are first-time buyers who decided to try fortunes in crypto after the win of the pro-crypto candidate.

其中很大一部分人（84％）是首次購買者，他們在支持加密貨幣的候選人獲勝後決定嘗試加密貨幣。

Now, it’s time to talk more closely about the BTC investment insights found in the report. There are three main points. First, 51% of Americans allocate over 30% of their assets in meme coins. That’s an interesting statistic proving that a booming meme token market is no joke.

現在，是時候更深入地討論報告中發現的 BTC 投資見解了。主要有以下三點。首先，51% 的美國人將超過 30% 的資產配置為迷因幣。這是一個有趣的統計數據，證明蓬勃發展的迷因代幣市場並不是開玩笑。

The second point notes that one-fifth of Americans allocate over 30% of their investment in crypto. And, finally, third–nearly 52% of responders admitted they were selling gold or stocks to invest in Bitcoin.

第二點指出，五分之一的美國人將超過 30% 的投資分配給了加密貨幣。最後，第三位——近 52% 的受訪者承認他們正在出售黃金或股票來投資比特幣。

The latter revelation illustrates the tectonic shift in people’s minds. Over half of all respondents believe now that Bitcoin is here to stay, and it is safer and probably more profitable than gold or stocks.

後一個啟示說明了人們思想的結構性轉變。超過一半的受訪者認為，比特幣將繼續存在，它比黃金或股票更安全，而且可能更有利可圖。

The preference for Bitcoin over gold or stocks was still a marginal mindset during the 2017 bull run. Nowadays, when various governments across the globe announce they will mine or stock bitcoins or use it for international payments, people look at Bitcoin without prejudice.

在 2017 年牛市期間，相對於黃金或股票，對比特幣的偏好仍然是一種邊緣心態。如今，當全球各國政府宣布將開採或儲存比特幣或將其用於國際支付時，人們都會不帶偏見地看待比特幣。

On top of that, the stats mean that these people not only decided to buy some BTC, but they have made an additional step of dumping their traditional assets to invest in BTC first. According to the survey, over 51% of such people are in America. It shows the unprecedented bullishness of digital gold.

最重要的是，統計數據意味著這些人不僅決定購買一些比特幣，而且還採取了額外的措施，首先拋售傳統資產，投資比特幣。調查顯示，超過51%的此類人在美國。它顯示了數位黃金前所未有的看漲。

Bitcoin and gold

比特幣和黃金

The “digital gold” name has its grounds, of course. Bitcoin bears certain similarities with gold. Both assets are scarce and deflationary. There will not be more gold or more Bitcoin in the future. The amount of both assets is finite and isn’t likely to increase.

當然，「數位黃金」的名稱是有其根據的。比特幣與黃金有某些相似之處。這兩種資產都是稀缺且通貨緊縮的。未來不會有更多的黃金或更多的比特幣。這兩種資產的數量都是有限的，而且不可能增加。

You have probably heard about the preset Bitcoin mining reward shrinks in two once every four years (so-called halving). The gold mining is decreasing too, however, the speed at which the gold mining drops is far behind Bitcoin’s increasing scarcity.

您可能聽說過預設的比特幣挖礦獎勵每四年減少兩次（所謂的減半）。金礦開採量也在減少，但是金礦開採量下降的速度遠遠落後於比特幣日益稀缺的情況。

Experts speculate whether humanity reached the “gold peak” point (a moment after which gold mining will be constantly dropping). In the Bitcoin case, the Bitcoin peak was in the first years, and then, production has always gone down, making Bitcoin scarcer than gold. When gold mining drops by a couple of percent, Bitcoin may drop by 50%.

專家推測人類是否已經達到了「黃金頂峰」點（此後金礦開採量將不斷下降）。就比特幣而言，比特幣的高峰出現在最初幾年，然後產量一直在下降，使得比特幣比黃金更稀缺。當金礦開採量下降幾個百分點時，比特幣可能會下降 50%。

More than that, after every coin is mined, Bitcoin may be going to the moon, and the gold diggers may literally start mining gold on the moon, increasing the total supply available for the Earth’s markets. While gold gets increasingly scarce due to its use in devices, jewelry, and other products, bitcoins get lost or blocked forever. The speed at which bitcoins get stuck has been so high that in 16 years of Bitcoin’s existence, around 20% of all units are considered lost.

更重要的是，在每枚硬幣被開採出來之後，比特幣可能會前往月球，而淘金者可能會真正開始在月球上開採黃金，從而增加地球市場的總供應。雖然黃金由於在設備、珠寶和其他產品中的使用而變得越來越稀缺，但比特幣會遺失或永遠被封鎖。比特幣陷入困境的速度如此之快，以至於在比特幣存在的 16 年裡，大約 20% 的單位被認為丟失了。

According to businessman and TV personality Mark Cuban, Bitcoin became a store of value and reached an acceptance level comparable to gold. Both he and MicroStrategy’s frontman Michael Saylor point out that in contrast to gold, Bitcoin is easy to transport and generally control.

根據商人兼電視名人馬克·庫班的說法，比特幣成為一種價值儲存手段，並達到了與黃金相當的接受程度。他和 MicroStrategy 的主唱 Michael Saylor 都指出，與黃金相比，比特幣易於運輸且整體上易於控制。
