比特幣價格下跌，山寨幣季節即將到來嗎？

由於波動性是比特幣遊戲的名稱，它在未來幾個月的表現仍有待觀察，這使得山寨幣更具吸引力

Bitcoin price took a hit on January 3 after the US Department of Justice (DOJ) announced plans to sell a large portion of the Bitcoin that had been seized from the Silk Road darknet marketplace.

1 月 3 日，美國司法部 (DOJ) 宣布計劃出售從絲路暗網市場查獲的大部分比特幣後，比特幣價格遭受重創。

According to the announcement, the DOJ has been authorized by a federal judge to sell 69,370 units of Bitcoin (around $6.5 million) that were confiscated by the FBI during the 2013 shutdown of Silk Road.

根據該公告，司法部已獲得一名聯邦法官的授權，出售 69,370 單位的比特幣（約 650 萬美元），這些比特幣是 FBI 在 2013 年絲綢之路關閉期間沒收的。

The proceeds from the sale will reportedly be used to compensate the victims of the darknet marketplace, which was known for facilitating the illegal trade of various goods and services, including drugs, computer hacking, and money laundering.

據報道，銷售所得收益將用於補償暗網市場的受害者，該市場因促進各種商品和服務的非法貿易而聞名，包括毒品、電腦駭客攻擊和洗錢。

The announcement also cited concerns over Bitcoin’s volatility as a key factor in pushing for a quick sale, which was approved on December 30.

該公告還指出，對比特幣波動性的擔憂是推動快速出售的關鍵因素，該出售已於 12 月 30 日獲得批准。

Bitcoin price fell sharply following the DOJ announcement, dropping below the $94,000 level after starting the week at around $98,000. However, it later recovered some of the lost ground to trade at around $93,340 by press time.

美國司法部宣布這項消息後，比特幣價格大幅下跌，本周初價格約 98,000 美元，跌破 94,000 美元。然而，截至發稿時，該股隨後收復部分失地，交易價格約為 93,340 美元。

Economist Peter Schiff commented on the recent move, expressing his belief that the DOJ's decision confirms his warnings that Trump would not be buying Bitcoin despite promising not to sell it.

經濟學家彼得·希夫對最近的舉動發表了評論，表示他相信司法部的決定證實了他的警告，即川普儘管承諾不出售比特幣，但不會購買比特幣。

With Bitcoin volatility continuing to be a major talking point, it remains to be seen how the flagship cryptocurrency will perform in the coming months, making altcoins all the more attractive.

隨著比特幣的波動性繼續成為主要話題，這種旗艦加密貨幣在未來幾個月將如何表現，從而使山寨幣變得更具吸引力，還有待觀察。
