ver 具有這些特徵，使它們成為良好的貨幣輸出：標題：天主教徒應該擁抱比特幣還是持懷疑態度？

比特幣的價格再次上漲。現在有傳言稱美國可能會建立比特幣戰略儲備。但我們的問題是，天主教徒是否應該擁抱

and silver made the best money.

白銀是最賺錢的。

And so when you look at Bitcoin, it has a lot of those same characteristics. It’s easily divisible. You can send fractions of a Bitcoin. It’s portable. You can carry it around on your phone or on a hardware wallet. It’s easily transferable. You can send it to somebody else. It keeps its value. It’s scarce. It’s fungible. All these characteristics that made gold and silver good money are also present in Bitcoin. And I think that’s why a lot of people, especially in the Austrian school of economics, see Bitcoin as a digital gold.

因此，當你觀察比特幣時，它具有許多相同的特徵。它很容易被分割。您可以發送比特幣的一小部分。它是便攜式的。您可以將其放在手機或硬體錢包中隨身攜帶。它很容易轉移。您可以將其發送給其他人。它保持其價值。很稀缺。它是可替代的。所有這些使黃金和白銀成為優質貨幣的特徵也存在於比特幣中。我認為這就是為什麼很多人，尤其是奧地利經濟學院的人，將比特幣視為數位黃金。

Now, I will say that I think there’s a lot of people who are kind of overzealous in their enthusiasm for Bitcoin. And I think that’s where you get into the whole Bitcoin Maxi thing. And so I think that’s something we should probably define for people. And I think you’re a good example of this, because I think you’re a Bitcoin Maxi, but you’re also a Catholic. And so I think that’s an interesting kind of tension there.

現在，我想說的是，我認為有很多人對比特幣的熱情有點過度熱心。我認為這就是你了解整個 Bitcoin Maxi 的地方。所以我認為這可能是我們應該為人們定義的東西。我認為你就是一個很好的例子，因為我認為你是比特幣 Maxi，但你也是天主教徒。所以我認為這是一種有趣的緊張關係。

So what does it mean to be a Bitcoin Maxi? And how do you kind of reconcile that with your Catholic faith?

那麼成為比特幣 Maxi 意味著什麼呢？您如何使這一點與您的天主教信仰相協調？

Yeah, I think a Bitcoin Maxi is somebody who believes that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that matters and that all the other cryptocurrencies are scams. And I think that there’s a sliding scale of what people mean by that. I think some people mean that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that’s good for being a store of value. And then there’s other people who mean that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that’s good for anything at all. And I think that there’s a sliding scale in between there.

是的，我認為比特幣 Maxi 是那些相信比特幣是唯一重要的加密貨幣並且所有其他加密貨幣都是騙局的人。我認為人們的意思是有一個浮動範圍的。我認為有些人的意思是比特幣是唯一有利於價值儲存的加密貨幣。還有其他人認為比特幣是唯一對任何事物都有好處的加密貨幣。我認為這之間存在著一個滑動尺度。

I would say I’m probably more on the moderate side of that. I do believe that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that’s good for being a store of value. And I think that there’s some other cryptocurrencies that might be good for other things. But I think that they’re all inferior to Bitcoin in their own way. And I think that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that’s going to be around in the long run.

我想說我可能更傾向於溫和的一面。我確實相信比特幣是唯一有利於作為價值儲存手段的加密貨幣。我認為還有一些其他加密貨幣可能對其他事情有好處。但我認為它們都以自己的方式不如比特幣。我認為比特幣是唯一能夠長期存在的加密貨幣。

I think that kind of reconciles with my Catholic faith in that I think that God created the world in a certain way and that there’s certain natural laws that govern the world. And I think that Bitcoin is a product of those natural laws. And I think that it’s the best monetary technology that’s ever been invented by man. And I think that it’s going to play a major role in the future of humanity.

我認為這與我的天主教信仰是一致的，因為我認為上帝以某種方式創造了世界，並且有某些自然法則統治著世界。我認為比特幣是這些自然法則的產物。我認為這是人類發明的最好的貨幣技術。我認為它將在人類的未來中發揮重要作用。

So I think that my enthusiasm for Bitcoin is kind of a product of my Catholic faith in a way. And I think that it’s something that I’m excited about and that I want to share with other people. But I also try to be mindful of the fact that it’s not the only thing that’s important in life and that there’s other things that are more important, like my family and my faith.

所以我認為我對比特幣的熱情在某種程度上是我天主教信仰的產物。我認為這是令我感到興奮並想與其他人分享的事情。但我也努力記住這樣一個事實：這並不是生活中唯一重要的事情，還有其他更重要的事情，例如我的家庭和我的信仰。

埃里克·薩蒙斯：

Yeah, I think that’s a good way to put it. And I think that’s where I would probably land on that as well. I think that Bitcoin is the best monetary technology that’s ever been invented by man. I think it’s the best store of value. I think it’s the best way to transfer value from one person to another. I think it’s the best medium of exchange. I think it’s the best unit of account. I think it’s the best money that’s ever been created.

是的，我認為這是一個很好的表達方式。我想這也是我可能會想到的地方。我認為比特幣是人類發明的最好的貨幣技術。我認為這是最好的價值儲存。我認為這是將價值從一個人轉移到另一個人的最佳方式。我認為這是最好的交換媒介。我認為這是最好的記帳單位。我認為這是有史以​​來創造的最好的錢。

And I think that there’s other cryptocurrencies that might be good for other things. But I think that they’re all inferior to Bitcoin in their own way. And I think that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that’s going to be around in the long run. I think that all the other cryptocurrencies are going to eventually fail. And I think that Bitcoin is going to be the only one that survives.

我認為還有其他加密貨幣可能對其他事情有好處。但我認為它們都以自己的方式不如比特幣。我認為比特幣是唯一能夠長期存在的加密貨幣。我認為所有其他加密貨幣最終都會失敗。我認為比特幣將是唯一倖存的。

So I think that’s kind of where I land on that. And I think that’s a good way to put it. And I think that’s where you probably land on that as well.

所以我認為這就是我的立場。我認為這是一個很好的表達方式。我認為這也是你可能會想到的地方。

Devin Rose:

德文羅斯：

Yeah, I think so. And I think that there’s a lot of people who would agree with us on that. But I think that there’s also a lot of people who would disagree with us on that. And I think that’s okay. I think that we can have different opinions on things and still be friends.

是的，我想是的。我認為很多人都會同意我們的觀點。但我認為也有很多人不同意我們的觀點。我認為那沒關係。我認為我們可以對事物有不同的看法，但仍然可以成為朋友。

Eric Sammons:

埃里克·薩蒙斯：

Yeah, I think that’s a good point. And I think that’s something that we should keep in mind, especially when we’re talking about something like Bitcoin, which is a new and emerging technology. And I think that there’s going to be a lot

是的，我認為這是一個很好的觀點。我認為這是我們應該牢記的事情，尤其是當我們談論像比特幣這樣的新興技術時。我認為將會有很多
