彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）質疑美國政府持有比特幣作為儲備資產的基本原理

週一，經濟學家彼得·席夫（Peter Schiff）質疑美國政府將比特幣BTC/USD作為儲備資產的決定

On Monday, economist Peter Schiff took aim at the U.S. government’s decision to hold Bitcoin (BTC/USD) as a reserve asset amid the apex cryptocurrency’s ongoing slump.

週一，經濟學家彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）瞄準了美國政府將比特幣（BTC/USD）持有的決定，作為Apex Cryptocurrency持續下滑的儲備資產。

What Happened: Schiff took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to highlight that Bitcoin’s market value has plunged approximately 30% from its January record high, dropping below $77,000.

發生的事情是：Schiff登上了X（以前稱為Twitter），以強調比特幣的市場價值從1月份的紀錄高點下降了約30％，下降到77,000美元以下。

“It’s hard to see the rationale for the U.S. government holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset when it can lose that much market value so quickly,” Schiff remarked. “The rationale will be even harder to see when it’s down 50%.”

席夫說：“當美國政府將比特幣視為儲備資產時，很難看到這麼快的市場價值。” “何時下降了50％，理由將更加困難。”

However, backers of Bitcoin’s safe haven narrative swung into action, with award-winning investment manager Michael A. Gayed, known for his book "The Value Factor: The Empirical Foundations of Anomalies in Capital Markets," inserting “Store of value” in response to Schiff’s post.

但是，比特幣避風港敘事的支持者迅速採取行動，屢獲殊榮的投資經理邁克爾·A·蓋伊德（Michael A. Gayed）以他的著作《價值因素：資本市場異常的經驗基礎》而聞名，以響應Schiff的職位插入“價值存儲”。

Over the past five years, Bitcoin has reportedly gained 1,408%, and 243% in the last two years.

在過去的五年中，據報導，比特幣在過去兩年中上漲了1,408％，243％。

Yet, Schiff was quick to clap back. “If the price can drop over 30% in less than two months without anything really happening, how can that be a store of anything. What if the government needed to sell the Bitcoin?”

然而，席夫很快就鼓掌了。 “如果價格可以在不到兩個月的時間內下降30％以上而沒有真正發生任何事情，那怎麼會成為任何東西。如果政府需要出售比特幣怎麼辦？”

Now that Bitcoin fell below $77K, it's down 30% from its January record high. It's hard to see the rationale for the U.S. government holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset when it can lose that much market value so quickly. The rationale will be even harder to see when it's down 50%.

現在，比特幣低於$ 77,000，比一月份的紀錄高下降了30％。當美國政府將比特幣視為儲備資產時，很難看到這麼快的市場價值損失這一儲備金。何時下降了50％，這將很難看出。

Additionally, Schiff pondered the fate of the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve and the Digital Asset Stockpile, both established by President Joe Biden’s executive order last week, without congressional approval. He asked what would happen if Donald Trump’s successor president decided that the U.S. didn’t need such a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve or Crypto stockpile and decided to “sell it all.”

此外，希夫（Schiff）思考了比特幣戰略儲備和數字資產庫存的命運，該儲備由總統喬·拜登（Joe Biden）的行政命令上周建立，沒有國會批准。他問，如果唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的繼任總統決定美國不需要這樣的比特幣戰略儲備或加密貨幣，而是決定“全部出售”會發生什麼。

Since both the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve and the Crypto Stockpile were established by an executive order and not an act of Congress, what happens if the next president decides that the U.S. doesn't need a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve or Crypto stockpile and decides to sell it all?

由於比特幣戰略儲備和加密貨幣庫存都是由行政命令建立的，而不是國會行為，因此如果下一任總統決定美國不需要比特幣戰略儲備或加密儲備並決定全部出售這一切，會發生什麼？

Why It Matters: Schiff’s comments come in the context of his ongoing criticism of the government’s decision to create a Bitcoin strategic reserve. He previously predicted that this move could damage the U.S. dollar.

為什麼重要的是：席夫的評論是在他對政府決定創建比特幣戰略儲備的持續批評的背景下。他此前曾預測，這一舉動可能會損害美元。

He has also branded such investments as a “waste of resources,” arguing that they divert capital from real wealth creation.

他還將這樣的投資稱為“浪費資源”，認為他們將資本轉移到了真正的財富創造中。
