Bitwise 執行長認為，當加密貨幣變得更加主流時，比特幣的稀缺性將變得“戲劇性”

Bitwise 執行長 Hunter Horsley 認為，當加密貨幣變得更加主流時，比特幣的稀缺性將開始變得「戲劇性」。

Bitcoin's scarcity is going to become more apparent as the cryptocurrency gains mainstream adoption, according to Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley.

Bitwise 執行長 Hunter Horsley 表示，隨著加密貨幣獲得主流採用，比特幣的稀缺性將變得更加明顯。

"There are estimated 58 million millionaires globally. There’s only enough Bitcoin for ~ 1 in 3 of them to have one," he said.

「全球估計有 5,800 萬百萬富翁。比特幣只夠其中三分之一的人擁有，」他說。

The executive was referring to the fact that the total supply of Bitcoin is capped at 21 million coins. With the cryptocurrency currently trading at around $100,000, this means that all of the available BTC is valued at roughly $2.1 trillion.

這位高層指的是比特幣的總供應量上限為 2,100 萬枚。目前該加密貨幣的交易價格約為 10 萬美元，這意味著所有可用的 BTC 價值約為 2.1 兆美元。

At the time of writing, there are around 19.2 million BTC in circulation, with the remaining 1.8 million coins yet to be mined. The new BTC supply is released into the network gradually through the process of mining, which also serves to secure the Bitcoin blockchain.

截至撰寫本文時，流通中的比特幣數量約為 1,920 萬枚，其餘 180 萬枚尚未開採。新的比特幣供應量透過挖礦過程逐漸釋放到網路中，這也有助於保護比特幣區塊鏈。

Bitcoin's scarcity is one of the key factors that have driven its price上涨 in recent years. As more people become aware of the cryptocurrency and begin to acquire it, the scarcity of Bitcoin is bound to become more keenly felt.

比特幣的稀缺性是近年來推動其價格上漲的關鍵因素之一。隨著越來越多的人認識到加密貨幣並開始購買它，比特幣的稀缺性必然會變得更加強烈。

"This is going to start to feel dramatic. Get ready for the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) to try and explain it away," Horsley added.

「這將開始讓人感到戲劇性。準備好迎接 FUD（恐懼、不確定性和懷疑）試圖解釋它吧，」霍斯利補充道。

BlackRock's 'Bitcoin supply cap' disclaimer sparks controversy

貝萊德的「比特幣供應上限」免責聲明引發爭議

As reported by U.Today, investment giant BlackRock recently caused a stir among the crypto community with a disclaimer in its educational video, which stated that Bitcoin's maximum supply could be expanded beyond the aforementioned 21 million cap.

根據《今日美國》報道，投資巨頭貝萊德最近在其教育影片中發布免責聲明，稱比特幣的最大供應量可能會超出上述 2,100 萬個上限，在加密貨幣界引起轟動。

Such suggestions are akin to heresy within the Bitcoin community since the cryptocurrency mainly derives its value from its scarcity. The fact that the supply of Bitcoin is both transparent and predictable makes it an attractive alternative to other assets.

這些建議類似於比特幣社群內的異端邪說，因為加密貨幣的價值主要來自於其稀缺性。比特幣的供應既透明又可預測，這一事實使其成為其他資產的有吸引力的替代品。

However, Blockstream co-founder Adam Back, who also helped to create Hashcash, the proof-of-work used by Bitcoin, was quick to clarify that the disclaimer is just meaningless legal coverage.

然而，Blockstream 聯合創始人 Adam Back（他也幫助創建了比特幣使用的工作量證明 Hashcash）很快就澄清，該免責聲明只是毫無意義的法律報告。

"The disclaimer is just covering the possibility of a Bitcoin hard fork changing the rules, which is something that happens from time to time (e.g., Bitcoin Cash)," Back said.

「免責聲明只是涵蓋了比特幣硬分叉改變規則的可能性，這種情況時常發生（例如比特幣現金），」巴克說。

"Each node operating on the network will be able to confirm that Bitcoin's total supply remains unchanged. Any changes would require a new chain and new rules," he explained.

「網路上運行的每個節點都將能夠確認比特幣的總供應量保持不變。任何變化都需要新的鍊和新的規則，」他解釋道。

Owning full Bitcoin is still a rare occurrence

擁有完整的比特幣仍然是罕見的情況

According to data provided by BitInfoCharts, only a minuscule portion of all Bitcoin addresses (1.82%) hold an entire coin. In addition, only 8.2% of all addresses in existence have more than 0.1 BTC.

根據 BitInfoCharts 提供的數據，所有比特幣地址中只有一小部分（1.82%）持有整個比特幣。此外，現有地址中只有 8.2% 擁有超過 0.1 BTC。

Only 0.25% of addresses hold more than 10 BTC, which would be roughly $1 million at current prices.

只有 0.25% 的地址持有超過 10 BTC，以當前價格計算，約為 100 萬美元。

According to CoinGecko data, the price of Bitcoin is approaching the $100,000 price mark once again. Bitcoin bulls argue that the price of the cryptocurrency will keep rising due to the token's finite supply.

根據CoinGecko數據，比特幣價格再次逼近10萬美元大關。比特幣多頭認為，由於代幣供應有限，加密貨幣的價格將持續上漲。
