遇到華爾街最不尋常的比特幣庫存：煤炭生產商的產量高達10％

聯盟資源合作夥伴（NASDAQ：ARLP）悄悄地在其資產負債表上建立了471,107 token的位置，截至1月27日，ARLP持有所有將存在的比特幣的2.24％。

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has certainly entered the scene in the early 2010s, and boy has it run circles around Wall Street's major stock indexes. Through the March 8 close, Bitcoin has gained 644%, 3,006%, and 11,663% over the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite, respectively, since March 8, 2020. To put this another way, an initial investment of $1,000 in Bitcoin at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic would now be worth close to $125,000.

比特幣（Crypto：BTC）肯定在2010年代初進入了現場，Boy讓它在華爾街的主要股票指數周圍運行。在3月8日結束時，比特幣在2020年3月8日以來，比特幣分別獲得了644％，3,006％和11,663％的比特幣，分別比標準普爾500，道瓊斯工業平均水平和納斯達克綜合。目前，在Covid-19的大流行開始時，比特幣的$ 1,000現在價值接近125,000美元。

But if you're a value investor, you might not be interested in an asset that's already had its big run. Instead, you might prefer to identify the next Bitcoin -- an up-and-coming cryptocurrency that could still deliver life-changing gains. With that in mind, let's take a closer look at two cryptocurrencies that could follow in Bitcoin's footsteps.

但是，如果您是價值投資者，那麼您可能對已經有很大運行的資產不感興趣。取而代之的是，您可能更喜歡識別下一個比特幣 - 一種新興的加密貨幣，仍然可以帶來改變生活的增長。考慮到這一點，讓我們仔細研究一下可以跟隨比特幣的腳步的兩個加密貨幣。

Don't get me wrong: I fully expect Bitcoin to continue generating wealth for early investors for years, if not decades, to come. However, it's also important to recognize that the cryptocurrency market is cyclical. Periods of outsized gains, like we've witnessed over the past 14 months, tend to be followed by periods of consolidation or weakness.

不要誤會我的意思：我完全希望比特幣能夠繼續為早期投資者（即使不是幾十年）繼續為早期投資者帶來財富。但是，同樣重要的是要認識到加密貨幣市場是周期性的。就像我們過去14個月中所見證的那樣，超大收益的時期往往是鞏固或弱點的時期。

To continue generating market-crushing returns, investors should be pivoting away from Bitcoin and into the next generation of Web3 tokens. These tokens are powering the decentralized applications (dApps) that will onboard billions of users to the blockchain. And as these tokens appreciate in value, so too will the underlying cryptocurrencies that power them.

為了繼續產生市場衝動的回報，投資者應該從比特幣轉移到下一代Web3代幣。這些代幣正在為分散的應用程序（DAPP）提供動力，該應用程序將登上數十億用戶到區塊鏈。正如這些代幣在價值上所欣賞的那樣，為它們供電的基礎加密貨幣也將如此。

Here are two cryptocurrencies that could follow in Bitcoin's footsteps and make early investors a lot of money.

這裡有兩個加密貨幣，可以跟隨比特幣的腳步，並使早期的投資者大量資金。

1. XRP is the native cryptocurrency of the XRP Ledger, a decentralized blockchain technology that's designed to facilitate fast and low-cost payments. XRP is used to pay transaction fees on the XRP Ledger and can also be used as a bridge currency to facilitate cross-border payments.

1。XRP是XRP Ledger的本機加密貨幣，這是一種分散的區塊鏈技術，旨在促進快速和低成本的付款。 XRP用於支付XRP分類帳上的交易費用，也可以用作橋樑貨幣以促進跨境支付。

The XRP Ledger is capable of processing transactions in as little as three seconds and at a cost of just 0.0002 XRP (less than $0.0001). For context, the average Bitcoin transaction takes 10 minutes to complete and costs around $2.60. This combination of speed and low cost has made XRP a favorite among cryptocurrency enthusiasts and institutional investors alike.

XRP Ledger能夠在短短三秒鐘內處理交易，僅為0.0002 XRP（小於$ 0.0001）。在上下文中，平均比特幣交易需要10分鐘才能完成，費用約為2.60美元。這種速度和低成本的結合使XRP成為加密貨幣愛好者和機構投資者的最愛。

In fact, XRP is the cryptocurrency of choice for payment processing giant MoneyGram International. MoneyGram began using XRP in 2019 to power its cross-border payment service between the United States and Mexico. And in 2021, MoneyGram expanded its partnership with Ripple (XRP's parent company) to include real-time payments in key markets around the world.

實際上，XRP是用於付款處理巨頭Moneygram International首選的加密貨幣。 MoneyGram於2019年開始使用XRP為美國和墨西哥之間的跨境支付服務提供動力。在2021年，MoneyGram擴大了與Ripple（XRP的母公司）的合作夥伴關係，以在全球主要市場中包括實時付款。

As of this writing, XRP is the eighth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization with a total value of around $43 billion. Over the past 12 months, XRP has generated gains of close to 100%, easily outpacing the performance of Bitcoin. And with an ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) nearing its conclusion, XRP could be poised for even bigger gains in 2023.

截至撰寫本文時，XRP是市值的第八大加密貨幣，總價值約為430億美元。在過去的12個月中，XRP產生的收益接近100％，很容易超過比特幣的性能。隨著Ripple與美國證券交易委員會（SEC）之間的持續法律鬥爭，XRP可以在2023年獲得更大的收益。

2. Chainlink (CRYPTO:LINK) is the native cryptocurrency of the Chainlink decentralized oracle network, which provides smart contracts on the blockchain with access to real-world data. This data can be used to trigger actions within smart contracts, such as releasing funds upon the delivery of a product or service.

2。鍊鍊接（加密：鏈接）是鍊鍊接分散的Oracle網絡的本機加密貨幣，該網絡在區塊鏈上提供智能合約，並訪問了對現實世界數據的訪問。這些數據可用於觸發智能合約中的操作，例如在交付產品或服務時釋放資金。

Chainlink is used by a variety of decentralized applications (dApps) and protocols, including Aave, Synthetix, and PancakeSwap. These dApps rely on Chainlink to provide them with the data they need to function properly. For example, Aave uses Chainlink to get the latest price data on the cryptocurrencies that users can borrow and lend on the platform.

ChainLink由各種分散應用程序（DAPP）和協議（包括AAVE，Synthetix和Pancakeswap）使用。這些DAPP依靠ChainLink為它們提供正常運行所需的數據。例如，AAVE使用ChainLink獲取用戶可以在平台上借入和借用的加密貨幣的最新價格數據。

As more and more dApps are built on the blockchain, the demand for Chainlink's services is only going to increase. This should lead to higher prices for LINK, the cryptocurrency that powers the Chainlink network.

隨著越來越多的DAPP建立在區塊鏈上，對Chainlink服務的需求只會增加。這應該導致鏈接的價格更高，鏈接是為鍊鍊接網絡提供動力的加密貨幣。

As of this writing, Chainlink is the 24th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization with a total value of around $6 billion. Over the past 12 months, Chainlink has generated gains of close to 300%, also easily outpacing the performance of Bitcoin. And with the dApp market still in its early stages of development, Chainlink could be poised for even bigger gains in the years to come.

截至撰寫本文時，ChainLink是市值的第24大加密貨幣，總價值約為60億美元。在過去的12個月中，ChainLink的收益接近300％，也很容易超過比特幣的性能。隨著DAPP市場仍處於開發的早期階段，ChainLink可能會在未來幾年中獲得更大的收益。
