比特幣透過允許用戶在其區塊鏈上鑄造和交易實體黃金來擴展其功能

比特幣通常被稱為“數位黃金”，它正在透過允許用戶在其區塊鏈上鑄造和交易實體黃金來擴展其功能。

Bitcoin, fondly dubbed “digital gold,” is now expanding its capabilities to include the minting and trading of physical gold on its blockchain. This groundbreaking feature is being introduced through the Ordinals protocol, which essentially transforms ownership of real gold into a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) format.

比特幣被親切地稱為“數位黃金”，現在正在擴展其功能，包括在其區塊鏈上鑄造和交易實體黃金。這項突破性的功能是透過 Ordinals 協議引入的，該協議本質上將真實黃金的所有權轉變為不可替代代幣（NFT）格式。

Swarm Markets, a platform that specializes in tokenizing real-world assets and is licensed by BaFin in Germany, has joined forces with OrdinalsBot to enable investors to purchase gold bars using Bitcoin. This collaboration marks the introduction of gold as the first real-world asset (RWA) available on Trio, a new marketplace from OrdinalsBot that is set to launch later this year.

Swarm Markets 是一個專門從事現實世界資產代幣化的平台，並獲得德國 BaFin 的許可，該平台已與 OrdinalsBot 聯手，使投資者能夠使用比特幣購買金條。此次合作標誌著黃金成為 Trio 上第一個可用的現實世界資產 (RWA)，Trio 是 OrdinalsBot 的一個新市場，將於今年稍後推出。

The Ordinals protocol functions by assigning unique data, such as images or text, to individual satoshis, which are the smallest units of Bitcoin. This adds a unique value to each satoshi, rendering them akin to Bitcoin’s version of NFTs. Swarm and OrdinalsBot have taken this a step further by attaching specific gold kilobar serial numbers to satoshis, which can then be traded through Bitcoin’s Ordinals protocol.

Ordinals 協議透過將圖像或文字等獨特資料分配給單個聰（比特幣的最小單位）來發揮作用。這為每個聰增加了獨特的價值，使它們類似於比特幣版本的 NFT。 Swarm 和 OrdinalsBot 更進一步，將特定的公斤金序號附加到聰上，然後可以透過比特幣的 Ordinals 協議進行交易。

While both Bitcoin and gold are recognized for their value as assets with a limited supply, they tend to react differently during periods of economic downturn. For instance, gold experienced a surge of 10% to reach record highs during the third quarter of this year as a result of U.S. recession fears, while Bitcoin saw a more modest increase of 0.8%.

儘管比特幣和黃金都因其作為供應有限的資產的價值而受到認可，但它們在經濟低迷時期往往會做出不同的反應。例如，由於美國經濟衰退的擔憂，今年第三季黃金飆升 10%，創下歷史新高，而比特幣則溫和上漲 0.8%。

Swarm’s Ordinals platform now provides investors with the capability to hold both physical and digital gold on a single blockchain, which could potentially put an end to the long-standing debate over which form of gold to invest in. As Timo Lehes, co-founder of Swarm, stated in a press release to CoinDesk, “Investors no longer need to choose between real or digital gold, when Swarm’s Ordinals allow them to hold both using one blockchain as a unified infrastructure.”

Swarm 的 Ordinals 平台現在為投資者提供了在單個區塊鏈上同時持有實體和數位黃金的能力，這可能會結束關於投資哪種形式的黃金的長期爭論。給CoinDesk 的新聞稿中表示，「當Swarm 的序數允許他們使用一個區塊鏈作為統一基礎設施來持有實體黃金和數位黃金時，投資者不再需要在實體黃金和數位黃金之間進行選擇。
