如今，比特幣屬於（幾乎）每個人的投資組合的3個原因

如果您尚未持有比特幣（BTC -1.84％），那麼購買它很有可能有助於您的投資組合。

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has been around for over a decade now, and despite the bear market of 2022, it still trades for a hefty sum of around $42K. Even a relatively small position, like perhaps $2,500, is enough to give investors exposure to this critical asset. And if you're willing to hold it for years, it could be a good source of growth as well as stability in turbulent times.

比特幣（Crypto：BTC）已經存在了十多年，儘管熊市為2022年，但它的交易仍需以巨額價值約42,000美元。即使是相對較小的頭寸，也許是2500美元，也足以使投資者接觸這一關鍵資產。而且，如果您願意持有多年，那麼它可能是動盪時期的良好增長和穩定性的良好來源。

Here are three reasons why Bitcoin belongs in (almost) everyone's portfolio these days.

如今，比特幣屬於（幾乎）每個人的投資組合的三個原因。

1. It's an inflation hedge

1。這是通貨膨脹對沖

One of the most important reasons to own even a little Bitcoin is that it can protect at least a portion of your total purchasing power from surges in monetary inflation.

擁有一個比特幣的最重要原因之一是，它至少可以保護您總購買力的至少一部分免受貨幣通貨膨脹率的潮流。

The total number of Bitcoins is fixed by a hard cap in its protocol. There are about 1 million coins left to be mined, or around 5% of the total permitted in the protocol. In contrast, no matter where you live, the government can print more money. In most cases, over the long term, it will, even if the printing is unnecessary or if the result is beneficial or benign for consumers' purchasing power.

比特幣的總數是由其協議中的硬帽修復的。大約有100萬個硬幣要開採，或協議中允許的總允許的5％。相比之下，無論您居住在哪裡，政府都可以打印更多的錢。在大多數情況下，從長遠來看，即使印刷不必要，或者結果對消費者的購買力有益或良性。

There is no need to live in fear of hyperinflation and stack your paychecks into Bitcoin. But why leave yourself vulnerable when it doesn't cost much to buy an asset that offers some protection from the worst-case scenarios? Plus, if the coin continues to perform as it has in the past, it'll gain in value and eventually pay for itself, regardless of whether your fiat currency is losing value or not.

無需生活在擔心過度充電並將您的薪水堆放到比特幣中。但是，當購買可從最壞情況下提供一些保護的資產時，為什麼要讓自己容易受到傷害呢？另外，如果硬幣繼續像過去那樣繼續執行，那麼無論您的法定貨幣是否損失了價值，它都會獲得價值並最終為其自身付款。

2. It's the primary asset in the cryptocurrency sector

2。這是加密貨幣領域的主要資產

Bitcoin's market cap is currently around $1.9 trillion. The entire cryptocurrency market cap is only $3.2 trillion. The next-largest cryptocurrencies are Ethereum, with a market cap of $335.6 billion, and XRP, which has a cap of $151.8 billion. There is simply no way of avoiding the fact that Bitcoin is the flagship cryptocurrency for the entire crypto sector.

比特幣的市值目前約為1.9萬億美元。整個加密貨幣市值僅為3.2萬億美元。第二大加密貨幣是以太坊，市值為3356億美元，XRP的上限為1518億美元。根本無法避免比特幣是整個加密貨幣領域的旗艦加密貨幣。

If you want to maintain a well-diversified portfolio, you need exposure to a major sector like cryptocurrencies. If you don't have it, you risk missing out on sector-level growth, which is a significant factor in the context of an emerging area like crypto. Plus, with ongoing debates about whether there will be a national cryptocurrency reserve in the U.S., it's clear that more growth is very likely to be on the way, even if it isn't clear exactly which assets will benefit the most.

如果您想維護多樣化的投資組合，則需要接觸加密貨幣等主要部門。如果您沒有它，那麼您就有可能錯過行業層面的增長，這在像Crypto這樣的新興領域的背景下是一個重要因素。另外，隨著關於美國國家是否會有國家加密貨幣儲備的持續辯論，很明顯，即使尚不清楚哪些資產將受益最大，也很可能會出現更多的增長。

Investing in the leader is an easy way of gaining exposure, and Bitcoin is the leader. The best part is that if the evangelists are right, and the coin's future remains very bright thanks to ongoing adoption by governments and major financial institutions, a small investment will grow proportionately by just as much as a big one. So there's no floor for how little you can commit to get a decent return.

投資領導者是獲得曝光率的簡單方法，比特幣是領導者。最好的部分是，如果傳教士是正確的，並且由於政府和主要的金融機構的持續收養，硬幣的未來仍然非常光明，那麼一筆小的投資將與大型投資相似地增長。因此，您可以承諾獲得不錯的回報沒有什麼地板。

3. It's increasingly linked into the traditional financial sector globally

3。它越來越多地與全球傳統金融部門聯繫在一起

One additional big reason to hold Bitcoin is that it's an asset that the world's major financial institutions are holding.

持有比特幣的另一個主要理由是，這是世界上主要的金融機構所擁有的一項資產。

With their tokens, they offer banking services to investors, issue exchange-traded funds (ETFs), transact with each other, track ownership of assets on the blockchain, and issue financial derivatives to generate fees. Furthermore, as long as there's value stored on the blockchain, they're likely going to continue buying more Bitcoin over time to shore up their reserves. With those activities, they'll be increasing the level of integration that the cryptocurrency has with the traditional financial sector.

憑藉其令牌，他們向投資者提供銀行服務，簽發交易所交易資金（ETF），互相交易，跟踪區塊鏈上的資產所有權，並發行金融衍生品以產生費用。此外，只要在區塊鏈上存儲價值，隨著時間的推移，他們很可能會繼續購買更多的比特幣來支撐儲量。通過這些活動，他們將提高加密貨幣與傳統金融部門的整合水平。

That'll make it less volatile, drive prices up, and give more conservative investors the confidence to hold on to it for longer periods. And since investors are increasingly able to buy the coin via their brokerage and retirement accounts rather than via specialized blockchain software, more people will be willing to invest, which will also support a higher price level.

這將使它的波動不足，推動價格上漲，並使更保守的投資者有信心堅持更長的時間。而且，由於投資者越來越能夠通過其經紀和退休帳戶而不是通過專業區塊鏈軟件購買硬幣，因此更多的人將願意投資，這也將支持更高的價格水平。

But the most important thing for investors with smaller portfolios is that these financial institutions will almost certainly be buying their Bitcoins at the fair market value for the foreseeable future. In other words, it's an asset that is now widely recognized to be worth owning.

但是，對於投資組合較小的投資者來說，最重要的是，這些金融機構幾乎可以肯定會在可預見的未來在公平市場價值上購買其比特幣。換句話說，這是一種現在被廣泛認為值得擁有的資產。

For me, that makes it worth buying a little bit if you don't already have some.

對我來說，如果您還沒有一些，那值得購買。
