Unassuming Legal Pad with "Buy Bitcoin" Scrawled on It Auctions for Over $1 Million

樸素的便條本上潦草地寫著“購買比特幣”，拍賣價格超過 100 萬美元

In a testament to the meteoric rise and cultural impact of cryptocurrency, a yellow legal pad bearing the handwritten message "Buy Bitcoin" has recently sold at auction for a staggering $1,027,000.

為了證明加密貨幣的迅速崛起和文化影響，一本帶有手寫訊息「購買比特幣」的黃色記事本最近在拍賣會上以 1,027,000 美元的驚人價格售出。

The unassuming notepad, which was hastily scribbled upon by a 22-year-old intern during a televised Congressional hearing in 2017, has become an iconic symbol for the burgeoning crypto industry. As the price of Bitcoin has skyrocketed from around $2,300 in 2017 to a record high of almost $74,000 in March 2021, the legal pad has come to represent the mainstreaming of digital assets.

這款不起眼的記事本是由一名 22 歲的實習生在 2017 年電視轉播的國會聽證會上匆忙寫下的，現已成為蓬勃發展的加密貨幣行業的標誌性符號。隨著比特幣的價格從 2017 年的 2,300 美元左右飆升至 2021 年 3 月近 74,000 美元的歷史新高，法定便條本已成為數位資產主流化的代表。

The winning bid was placed by an anonymous buyer who offered 16 Bitcoin for the item, according to Scare City, the online auction platform that hosted the sale. In a dramatic turn of events during the final minutes of bidding, an error mistakenly displayed a bid of $6.4 million before the platform swiftly corrected the figure.

據主辦拍賣會的線上拍賣平台 Scare City 稱，一位匿名買家以 16 比特幣的價格競標該商品，最終中標。在競價的最後幾分鐘，事件發生了戲劇性的轉變，一個錯誤錯誤地顯示了 640 萬美元的出價，但平台很快就糾正了這個數字。

The legal pad, which weighs half a pound, was sold by Christian Langalis, the then-intern at the Libertarian think tank Cato Institute who swiftly penned the message after securing a seat behind Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen during her appearance before the House Financial Services Committee in July 2017. Langalis was promptly escorted out of the hearing after the message was captured on live television.

這本重達半磅的便箋簿是由當時在自由主義智庫卡托研究所實習的克里斯蒂安·蘭加利斯(Christian Langalis) 出售的，在美聯儲主席珍妮特·耶倫(Janet Yellen) 出席眾議院金融服務會議期間，他在美聯儲主席珍妮特·耶倫(Janet Yellen) 身後獲得了一個席位後，迅速寫下了這條信息。蘭加利斯立即被護送出聽證會。

The auction listing described the item as "Ink Drawing on Legal Pad" and noted that the notepad also contains Langalis's handwritten notes from the hearing. According to the description, "The page with the sign drawing was removed from the notepad shortly after the hearing. It has since been reattached with clear archival wire."

拍賣清單將該物品描述為“便簽本上的墨水畫”，並指出該記事本還包含蘭加利斯在聽證會上的手寫筆記。根據描述，“聽證會後不久，帶有標誌圖的頁面就從記事本上刪除了。此後又用透明的檔案線重新連接起來。”

Langalis has expressed his intention to allocate the proceeds from the auction towards funding a Bitcoin software project.

蘭加利斯表示，他打算將拍賣所得資金用於資助比特幣軟體計畫。

The sale of the legal pad has sparked widespread commentary and debate within the crypto community, with some commentators speculating that the substantial bid may have been driven by a desire to acquire a piece of digital currency history. Others have highlighted the pad's significance as a symbol of the growing acceptance and prominence of cryptocurrencies in the global financial landscape.

便箋本的出售引發了加密貨幣社群內的廣泛評論和辯論，一些評論員猜測，這次大幅出價可能是出於收購一段數位貨幣歷史的願望。其他人則強調了該墊子的重要性，它像徵著加密貨幣在全球金融格局中的日益接受和突出。

As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve and mature, it remains to be seen whether the "Buy Bitcoin" legal pad will further appreciate in value or become a cherished artifact preserved in a museum or private collection. However, its recent auction for an extraordinary sum serves as a testament to the transformative power and lasting impact of this nascent financial frontier.

隨著加密貨幣市場的不斷發展和成熟，「購買比特幣」便條本是否會進一步升值，或者成為博物館或私人收藏的珍貴文物，還有待觀察。然而，其最近拍賣的巨額金額證明了這一新興金融前沿的變革力量和持久影響。
