Peter Schiff 懷疑 100 萬比特幣能否還清美國國債

比特幣的市值需要增加20,000%以上，這是不切實際的。他也對比特幣的全球採用提出質疑，並認為其價值的成長主要是透過投機而不是實際需求。

Peter Schiff, an economist and gold enthusiast, has expressed skepticism regarding the notion that the U.S. government purchasing 1 million Bitcoins could lead to the payment of the country's national debt. Schiff highlights the astronomical increase in Bitcoin's value that would be necessary for this scenario to unfold.

經濟學家兼黃金愛好者 Peter Schiff 對美國政府購買 100 萬比特幣可能導致償還該國國債的說法表示懷疑。希夫強調，比特幣價值的天文數字成長是這種情況發生所必需的。

According to Schiff, for the U.S. government to pay off the national debt, which currently stands at around $36.25 trillion, by purchasing 1 million Bitcoins, the total value of all Bitcoins would need to increase by over 20,000%. This scenario is highly unrealistic, especially considering the volatility and price fluctuations characteristic of Bitcoin.

Schiff表示，美國政府要透過購買100萬個比特幣來償還目前約36.25兆美元的國債，所有比特幣的總價值需要增加20,000%以上。這種情況是非常不切實際的，特別是考慮到比特幣的波動性和價格波動特徵。

Furthermore, Schiff points out that the U.S. debt continues to grow year after year, as the government borrows money to cover its expenses. This growth in debt makes the idea of Bitcoin paying it off even more far-fetched.

此外，希夫指出，由於政府借錢來支付開支，美國債務持續逐年增加。債務的成長使得用比特幣償還債務的想法變得更加牽強。

Schiff, who has consistently maintained a critical stance toward Bitcoin, asserting that it lacks intrinsic value and will not replace traditional money or assets such as gold, also questions the extent of Bitcoin's global adoption.

希夫一直對比特幣保持批評立場，聲稱比特幣缺乏內在價值，不會取代黃金等傳統貨幣或資產，他也質疑比特幣在全球的採用程度。

Despite the increase in Bitcoin's price, Schiff emphasizes the limited use of Bitcoin as a world currency. Only a handful of countries have adopted it as an official currency, and most governments are hesitant to replace their currencies with Bitcoin. According to Schiff, Bitcoin will never become the world's primary currency.

儘管比特幣價格上漲，希夫強調比特幣作為世界貨幣的使用有限。只有少數國家採用比特幣作為官方貨幣，大多數政府都對以比特幣取代本國貨幣猶豫不決。希夫認為，比特幣永遠不會成為世界主要貨幣。

While some Bitcoin enthusiasts believe the cryptocurrency will continue to appreciate as more people adopt it, potentially reaching prices of $1 million per coin and becoming an alternative to traditional money, Schiff deems the notion of Bitcoin paying off the U.S. national debt highly improbable. The market capitalization required for such a scenario is too large, and the increasing national debt renders it even less feasible.

雖然一些比特幣愛好者認為，隨著越來越多的人採用這種加密貨幣，這種加密貨幣將繼續升值，每枚比特幣的價格可能達到100 萬美元，並成為傳統貨幣的替代品，但希夫認為比特幣償還美國公債的可能性極小。這種情況所需的市值太大，而不斷增加的國債則更不可行。

In Schiff's words, “Bitcoin is a speculative asset, and its value is driven by hope, not real demand.”

用希夫的話來說，“比特幣是一種投機資產，其價值是由希望驅動的，而不是真正的需求。”

While Bitcoin may continue to experience growth for some, Schiff maintains that paying off the U.S. national debt is an unrealistic aspiration.

儘管比特幣對某些人來說可能會繼續增長，但希夫堅持認為，償還美國國債是一個不切實際的願望。
