歷史性減半後，比特幣飆升至 65,000 美元以上

週五網路第四次減半後，比特幣本週開始小幅上漲，這減少了對礦工的激勵。根據 Coin Metrics 的數據，該加密貨幣的價值上漲 1.8% 至 65,891.28 美元。以太幣也上漲了 1.5%，達到 3,198.06 美元。

Bitcoin Surges Past $65,000 Following Historic Halving

歷史性減半後比特幣飆升至 65,000 美元以上

In a remarkable start to the week, Bitcoin has soared past the $65,000 mark, marking a substantial gain of 1.8% from its previous price, according to data from Coin Metrics. This surge comes on the heels of the network's fourth halving, which was successfully completed on Friday. The halving, a significant event in the Bitcoin ecosystem, has reduced the incentives paid to miners by half. Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has also exhibited upward momentum, rising 1.5% to $3,198.06.

根據 Coin Metrics 的數據，比特幣本週開局出色，已飆升至 65,000 美元大關，較之前價格大幅上漲 1.8%。這一激增是在該網絡第四次減半之後發生的，該減半於週五成功完成。減半是比特幣生態系統中的重大事件，使支付給礦工的激勵措施減少了一半。第二大加密貨幣以太幣也表現出上漲勢頭，上漲 1.5% 至 3,198.06 美元。

The halving, a pre-programmed event that occurs approximately every four years, has been highly anticipated by investors. It is designed to slow the issuance of new Bitcoins, creating a limited supply and enhancing its perceived value as a store of value. Historically, the halving has had a significant impact on Bitcoin's price, although its effects often take several months to fully manifest.

減半是一項預先安排好的事件，大約每四年發生一次，一直受到投資者的高度期待。它的目的是減緩新比特幣的發行，創造有限的供應並增強其作為價值儲存手段的感知價值。從歷史上看，減半對比特幣的價格產生了重大影響，儘管其影響通常需要幾個月的時間才能完全顯現。

"We believe that the halving will be a positive catalyst for Bitcoin's price in the long term," said Katie Talati, co-founder and CEO of Arca, a digital asset management firm.

數位資產管理公司 Arca 聯合創始人兼首席執行官凱蒂·塔拉蒂 (Katie Talati) 表示：“我們相信，從長遠來看，減半將成為比特幣價格的積極催化劑。”

Analysts at JPMorgan maintain a cautious stance, cautioning investors about potential near-term downside risks in Bitcoin. However, they acknowledge that the halving could have a positive impact on the cryptocurrency's long-term trajectory.

摩根大通分析師保持謹慎立場，警告投資者比特幣近期潛在的下行風險。然而，他們承認減半可能會對加密貨幣的長期軌跡產生正面影響。

"While the halving may not lead to an immediate price spike, we believe it could provide a solid foundation for Bitcoin's growth over the coming months," said Nicholas Panigirtzoglou, an analyst at JPMorgan.

摩根大通分析師 Nicholas Panigirtzoglou 表示：“雖然減半可能不會導致價格立即飆升，但我們相信它可以為比特幣未來幾個月的增長奠定堅實的基礎。”

The halving has also had a ripple effect on the stock prices of publicly traded cryptocurrency miners. Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms, two of the largest miners, have seen their shares rise by approximately 3% and 5%, respectively. CleanSpark and Iris Energy have also experienced gains of 3% and 4%, respectively.

減半也對公開交易的加密貨幣礦商的股價產生了連鎖反應。最大的兩家礦商 Marathon Digital 和 Riot Platforms 的股價分別上漲了約 3% 和 5%。 CleanSpark 和 Iris Energy 也分別上漲了 3% 和 4%。

These larger miners have been actively preparing for the halving by investing in new and more efficient mining equipment, increasing their electricity capacity, and boosting their hash rates, which measure the computational power used to solve complex mathematical problems in the Bitcoin network. As a result, they are well-positioned to absorb the impact of the halving and maintain their dominance in the industry.

這些較大的礦工一直在積極為減半做準備，他們投資了新的、更有效率的採礦設備，增加了電力容量，並提高了哈希率，哈希率衡量的是用於解決比特幣網絡中複雜數學問題的計算能力。因此，他們有能力吸收減半的影響並保持其在行業中的主導地位。

Smaller and less efficient miners, on the other hand, may face challenges due to the reduced mining rewards. This could force some of them out of business, potentially leading to increased market share for the remaining miners and creating opportunities for mergers and acquisitions.

另一方面，規模較小、效率較低的礦工可能會因挖礦獎勵減少而面臨挑戰。這可能會迫使其中一些礦商破產，從而可能導致剩餘礦商的市場份額增加，並創造併購機會。

"We expect to see a consolidation of the mining industry," said Talati. "The halving will accelerate the trend towards a more concentrated market, with larger miners becoming even more dominant."

「我們預計採礦業將出現整合，」塔拉蒂說。 “減半將加速市場更加集中的趨勢，大型礦商將變得更加佔據主導地位。”

Overall, the halving of Bitcoin's block reward represents a significant milestone in its development. While its immediate impact on the price remains to be seen, analysts believe that it will ultimately contribute to Bitcoin's long-term growth and value proposition as a digital gold.

總體而言，比特幣區塊獎勵減半代表了其發展的一個重要里程碑。儘管其對價格的直接影響仍有待觀察，但分析師認為，它將最終有助於比特幣的長期成長和作為數位黃金的價值主張。
