著名經濟學家彼得希夫駁斥比特幣飆升，挑戰黃金等價物

Bitcoin's Surge Fails to Impress Economist Schiff, Who Disputes Its Comparison to Gold

比特幣的飆升未能給經濟學家希夫留下深刻印象，他對比特幣與黃金的比較提出異議

Renowned economist Peter Schiff has dismissed Bitcoin's recent record-breaking rally, calling into question its purported equivalence to gold.

著名經濟學家彼得希夫（Peter Schiff）駁斥了比特幣最近破紀錄的漲勢，質疑其所謂的與黃金的等價性。

Schiff's Argument

希夫的論證

On Sunday, Schiff shared a chart depicting Bitcoin's value in dollar terms, noting that while it had reached a new high in dollars, it had "not hit a new high priced in gold." He elaborated, "Perhaps it never will. That undermines the case for Bitcoin being digital gold."

週日，希夫分享了一張以美元計價的比特幣價值圖表，並指出，雖然以美元計價的比特幣已達到新高，但「尚未達到以黃金計價的新高」。他解釋說：“也許永遠不會。這破壞了比特幣作為數位黃金的理由。”

Gold's Significance

黃金的意義

Traditionally, gold has been regarded as a safe haven asset, offering protection during market downturns. Consequently, it is commonly included in investment portfolios to mitigate volatility.

傳統上，黃金被視為避險資產，在市場低迷時期提供保護。因此，它通常被包含在投資組合中以減輕波動性。

Bitcoin's Performance

比特幣的表現

Despite Schiff's skepticism, Bitcoin has emerged as a top-performing asset in 2023 and early 2024. After a remarkable 155% surge in 2023, the cryptocurrency has gained approximately 67% in the first quarter of 2024. This momentum was partly driven by the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

儘管希夫持懷疑態度，但比特幣在2023 年和2024 年初已成為表現最佳的資產。在2023 年大幅上漲155% 後，這種加密貨幣在2024 年第一季上漲了約67%。這一勢頭部分是由證券市場推動的交易委員會 (SEC) 批准現貨比特幣交易所交易基金 (ETF)。

Analysts' Perspectives

分析師的觀點

Larry Tentarelli, Chief Technical Strategist at Blue Chip Daily Trend Report, anticipates further Bitcoin gains this year, predicting a value exceeding $100,000. He attributes this potential growth to the upcoming Bitcoin halving event, tentatively scheduled for April 19-20, assuming the 10-year bond yield remains below 4.40%.

Blue Chip Daily Trend Report 首席技術策略師 Larry Tentarelli 預計今年比特幣將進一步上漲，價值將超過 10 萬美元。他將這一潛在成長歸因於即將到來的比特幣減半事件，暫定於 4 月 19 日至 20 日舉行，假設 10 年期債券殖利率仍低於 4.40%。

Conversely, certain analysts foresee a potential pullback following Bitcoin's recent surge. Schiff has not only accused the media of overhyping Bitcoin but has also highlighted the limitations associated with Bitcoin ETFs.

相反，某些分析師預計比特幣近期飆升後可能會出現回檔。希夫不僅指責媒體過度炒作比特幣，還強調了比特幣 ETF 的限制。

Gold's Performance

黃金的表現

In contrast to Bitcoin's recent volatility, gold has enjoyed a steady upward trajectory, reaching a record high of $2,254.80 at the end of the quarter and peaking at $2,256.90 on Thursday.

與比特幣近期的波動形成鮮明對比的是，黃金一直處於穩定的上漲軌道，在本季末達到歷史新高 2,254.80 美元，並於週四達到高峰 2,256.90 美元。
