Renowned economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff sparked reactions from the cryptocurrency community after making a comparison between Bitcoin and traditional fiat currencies in a recent tweet.

著名經濟學家和黃金倡導者 Peter Schiff 在最近的一條推文中對比特幣和傳統法定貨幣進行了比較，引發了加密貨幣社群的反應。

Despite being a well-known Bitcoin critic, Schiff highlighted a main difference and similarity between the two.

儘管希夫是著名的比特幣評論家，但他強調了兩者之間的主要區別和相似之處。

According to Schiff, the main similarity between traditional fiat currencies and Bitcoin is that both derive their market value from the faith people have in them. In response to an X user who refuted this assertion by saying that "bitcoin was all proof of work," Schiff declared Bitcoin as "proof of faith," adding that "the work produces nothing of value. So it's proof of faith."

希夫認為，傳統法定貨幣和比特幣之間的主要相似之處在於，兩者的市場價值都來自於人們對它們的信心。一位X 用戶反駁了這一說法，稱“比特幣都是工作證明”，希夫在回應時宣稱比特幣是“信仰證明”，並補充說“工作不會產生任何價值。所以它是信仰證明」。

The main similarity between traditional fiat currencies and Bitcoin is that both derive their market value from the faith people have in them. The main difference is that no one expects to get rich holding cash. That's why confidence in Bitcoin can be more easily lost.

傳統法定貨幣和比特幣之間的主要相似之處在於，兩者的市場價值都來自人們對它們的信心。主要差別在於，沒有人期望持有現金會致富。這就是為什麼人們更容易失去對比特幣的信心。

Schiff went further to highlight the main difference between the two asset classes, indirectly highlighting Bitcoin's ability to create wealth, saying, "The main difference is that no one expects to get rich holding cash. That's why confidence in Bitcoin can be more easily lost."

希夫進一步強調了這兩種資產類別之間的主要區別，間接強調了比特幣創造財富的能力，他說：「主要區別在於，沒有人期望持有現金致富。這就是為什麼對比特幣更容易失去信心。

Schiff, a staunch crypto critic, continues to dismiss Bitcoin while championing gold. He has previously criticized BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs), claiming they undermine the decentralized nature of crypto.

希夫是一位堅定的加密貨幣批評家，他在支持黃金的同時繼續貶低比特幣。他先前曾批評比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF），聲稱它們破壞了加密貨幣的去中心化性質。

Bitcoin price prepares for major move

比特幣價格為重大變動做好準備

At the time of writing, BTC was up 1.04% in the last 24 hours to $105,278 after dipping to lows of $101,200 amid a sell-off in the early Thursday session.

截至撰寫本文時，BTC 在周四早盤拋售中跌至 101,200 美元低點後，在過去 24 小時內上漲 1.04% 至 105,278 美元。

According to Glassnode, Bitcoin's 60-day range is currently tighter than its current trading range. Historically, similar patterns have signaled volatility explosions.

據 Glassnode 稱，比特幣 60 天的波動區間目前比目前的交易區間更窄。從歷史上看，類似的模式也預示著波動性的爆發。

In a tweet, Glassnode observed that "Bitcoin’s current 60-day price range is very narrow. Historically, periods of tight price ranges often preceded heightened volatility," it wrote. In addition, 20% of the BTC supply is concentrated within ±15% of the spot price, which creates the potential for amplified market volatility as investor profitability shifts.

Glassnode 在一條推文中指出，「比特幣當前 60 天的價格區間非常窄。從歷史上看，價格區間緊張的時期往往先於波動性加劇，」它寫道。此外，20% 的 BTC 供應集中在現貨價格的 ±15% 範圍內，隨著投資者獲利能力的變化，這可能會加劇市場波動。

On the broader markets, investors are now anticipating the next Federal Open Market Committee meeting on Jan. 28-29, when interest rate cuts may be announced. At its December meeting, the Fed signaled two rate cuts for 2025, indicating a slow and cautious approach.

在更廣泛的市場上，投資者目前正在期待 1 月 28 日至 29 日舉行的下一次聯邦公開市場委員會會議，屆時可能會宣布降息。聯準會在 12 月會議上暗示 2025 年將進行兩次降息，表明聯準會將採取緩慢而謹慎的態度。
