資深經濟學家彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）對比特幣未來發出了明顯的警告。

席夫（Schiff）的聲明是隨著世界各地的金融市場經歷了高水平的波動。在4月7日的股票市場崩潰之後，這種情況加劇了，現在稱為“黑色星期一”，以及美國總統宣布的關稅的意外暫停。

What did Schiff say?

席夫說了什麼？

The economist took aim at the steep decline in Bitcoin’s value, which has seen a more than 27 percent drop since January.

這位經濟學家的目標是比特幣的價值急劇下降，自1月以來，它的價值下降了27％以上。

He also slammed the U.S. government’s decision to launch a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which began operation on March 6.

他還抨擊了美國政府推出戰略性比特幣保護區的決定，該保護局於3月6日開始運營。

Since then, the reserve has already seen a loss of over 12 percent. However, Schiff argued that had the government invested in gold instead, it would have seen a 2 percent gain.

從那以後，儲備金已經看到超過12％的損失。但是，席夫認為，如果政府投資黃金，那將獲得2％的收益。

Highlighting gold’s performance, he added that the precious metal saw a sharp climb to more than $3,175 on Monday, gaining $90 in a single day.

他補充說，珍貴的金屬在周一急劇攀升至3,175美元以上，一天內獲得了90美元。

Schiff's comments come as investors are becoming increasingly skeptical of the crypto market's ability to deliver during a period of economic instability.

隨著投資者對加密貨幣市場在經濟不穩定期間交付的能力越來越持懷疑態度，席夫的評論就會出現。

Earlier this week, chairman of MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) Michael Saylor disclosed that the firm sold 703 bitcoins (BTC) in the fourth quarter to realize an average price of $60,000 per coin.

本週早些時候，Microstrategy（NASDAQ：MSTR）董事長Michael Saylor透露，該公司在第四季度出售了703個比特幣（BTC），以實現平均每幣60,000美元的價格。

The move comes as MicroStrategy faces increased pressure from investors to focus on reducing debt and improving liquidity.

此舉是隨著微觀流通的面孔增加了投資者的壓力，專注於降低債務和提高流動性。

Schiff's criticism

席夫的批評

The economist's criticism isn't limited to Bitcoin. He also took shots at major cryptocurrency supporters, including Michael Saylor, the chairman of MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR), who is well known for backing Bitcoin.

經濟學家的批評不僅限於比特幣。他還在主要的加密貨幣支持者身上拍攝，包括Microstrategy（NASDAQ：MSTR）的董事長Michael Saylor，他以支持比特幣而聞名。

Schiff predicted that Ethereum (ETH) is on track to drop below $1,000, especially after it plunged nearly 20 percent overnight, falling under the $1,500 mark.

Schiff預測，以太坊（ETH）有望下降1,000美元以下，尤其是在一夜之間跌倒近20％之後，下降了$ 1,500。

His comments come as investors are becoming increasingly skeptical of the crypto market's ability to deliver during a period of economic instability.

隨著投資者越來越懷疑加密市場在經濟不穩定時期交付的能力，他的評論就會出現。

Earlier this week, Saylor disclosed that the firm sold 703 bitcoins (BTC) to realize an average price of $60,000 per coin. The move comes as MicroStrategy faces increased pressure from investors to focus on reducing debt and improving liquidity.

本週早些時候，塞勒（Saylor）透露，該公司出售了703個比特幣（BTC），以實現每枚硬幣60,000美元的平均價格。此舉是隨著微觀流通的面孔增加了投資者的壓力，專注於降低債務和提高流動性。

According to data from Glassnode, as of December 2022, MicroStrategy's realized loss on its BTC holdings stands at $700 million. The firm's total BTC holdings are valued at $2.1 billion, while its equity market capitalization is at $1.4 billion.

根據GlassNode的數據，截至2022年12月，MicroStrategy在其BTC控股中的實現損失為7億美元。該公司的BTC總股份價值為21億美元，而其股票市值為14億美元。

Despite the recent selloff in cryptocurrencies, which has seen Bitcoin drop by more than 50 percent from its all-time high, Saylor remains a staunch supporter of the asset class.

儘管最近的加密貨幣拋售了，但比特幣的歷史最高水平下降了50％以上，但塞勒仍然是資產類別的堅定支持者。

In a recent interview, Saylor said that he believes Bitcoin is the best investment in the world and that it will continue to appreciate in value over the long term.

塞勒在最近的一次採訪中說，他認為比特幣是世界上最好的投資，並且從長遠來看，比特幣將繼續欣賞價值。

Saylor's thoughts are shared by many other cryptocurrency enthusiasts, who believe that digital assets have the potential to revolutionize the financial system. However, critics of cryptocurrencies argue that they are highly speculative and volatile, and that they are not a good investment for the average investor.

Saylor的思想是由許多其他加密貨幣愛好者共享的，他們認為數字資產有可能徹底改變金融體系。但是，對加密貨幣的批評者認為，它們是高度投機性和波動性的，對於普通投資者來說，它們不是一項不錯的投資。

Only time will tell whether cryptocurrencies will live up to the hype or whether they will fizzle out like previous speculative bubbles.

只有時間會證明加密貨幣是否會辜負炒作，或者它們是否會像以前的投機泡沫那樣消失。
