微軟聯合創辦人比爾蓋茲曾表達對比特幣的懷疑 BTC/USD

在 2018 年的一次採訪中，蓋茲批評比特幣作為資產類別缺乏生產力。

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has expressed his doubts about Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) in the past, stating that he would bet against the cryptocurrency if given the opportunity.

微軟聯合創始人比爾蓋茲過去曾表達對比特幣（CRYPTO：BTC）的懷疑，並表示如果有機會，他會做空這種加密貨幣。

In a 2018 interview with CNBC, Gates criticized Bitcoin’s lack of productivity as an asset class.

在 2018 年接受 CNBC 採訪時，蓋茲批評比特幣作為資產類別缺乏生產力。

"As an asset class, you're not producing anything and so you shouldn't expect it to go up. It's kind of a pure 'greater fool theory' type of investment,” he said.

「作為一種資產類別，你不會生產任何東西，所以你不應該期望它會上漲。這是一種純粹的『傻瓜理論』類型的投資，」他說。

“I agree I would short it if there was an easy way to do it."

“我同意，如果有一種簡單的方法可以做到這一點，我會做空它。”

Despite his skepticism towards Bitcoin and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), Gates acknowledged the potential of the underlying blockchain technology.

儘管蓋茲對比特幣和首次代幣發行（ICO）持懷疑態度，但他承認底層區塊鏈技術的潛力。

"Bitcoin and ICOs, I believe completely of the crazier, speculative things," Gates added. He also said that someone once gave him some Bitcoin for his birthday, but he sold it a few years afterward.

蓋茲補充道：“我完全相信比特幣和 ICO 是更瘋狂、更投機的事情。”他還說，曾經有人送他一些比特幣當生日禮物，但幾年後他就把它賣掉了。

Blockchain technology eliminates the need for a third-party intermediary, such as a bank, by quickly creating a secure, permanent record of a transaction between two parties.

區塊鏈技術透過快速創建兩方之間交易的安全、永久記錄，消除了對銀行等第三方中介機構的需求。

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $94,816.71.

截至撰寫本文時，比特幣交易價格為 94,816.71 美元。

Gates’ skepticism adds to the ongoing debate about the viability of cryptocurrencies. While the underlying blockchain technology is widely acknowledged for its potential to revolutionize various sectors, the volatility and lack of productivity of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin continue to raise concerns among investors and industry leaders.

蓋茲的懷疑加劇了加密貨幣可行性的持續爭論。儘管底層區塊鏈技術因其徹底改變各行業的潛力而獲得廣泛認可，但比特幣等加密貨幣的波動性和生產力的缺乏繼續引起投資者和行業領導者的擔憂。

Gates' comments come at a time when Bitcoin's value has seen significant fluctuations, further highlighting the risks associated with such investments.

在蓋茲發表上述言論之際，比特幣的價值出現了大幅波動，進一步凸顯了與此類投資相關的風險。
