传奇投资者蒂姆·德雷珀 (Tim Draper) 预测，比特币 (BTC) 将成为未来的货币

硅谷传奇投资者和加密货币爱好者 Timothy 'Tim' Draper 表示，尽管比特币上周突破了创纪录的 90,000 美元水平，但它仍然“便宜”。

Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tim Draper has said that Bitcoin is still “cheap” despite crossing the record $90,000 mark last week. He predicts that the token will become the currency of the future, enabling people to buy food, clothing, shelter, and even pay taxes in Bitcoin.

硅谷风险投资家 Tim Draper 表示，尽管比特币上周突破了创纪录的 90,000 美元大关，但仍然“便宜”。他预测该代币将成为未来的货币，使人们能够用比特币购买食物、衣服、住所，甚至纳税。

“Bitcoin is going to be the currency of the future. I don't know if it's five years from now, 10 years from now, when it's going to be so. But there will be a moment in time when you can buy your food, your clothing, your shelter, all in Bitcoin. Pay your taxes in Bitcoin. One day you would say, 'Why do I want government currency in my wallet?... I think I'll just go with Bitcoin.' When that moment happens, there'll be runs on the banks,” Draper told Moneycontrol during his recent visit to India.

“比特币将成为未来的货币。我不知道五年后、十年后什么时候会这样。但总有一天，你可以用比特币购买食物、衣服、住所。用比特币缴税。有一天你会说，“为什么我的钱包里需要政府货币？……我想我会选择比特币。”当那一刻发生时，银行就会出现挤兑，”德雷珀在最近访问印度时告诉Moneycontrol。

Draper is currently traveling across six cities in the country to shoot the latest season of his popular startup pitching show ‘Meet the Drapers’ in partnership with TiE Mumbai.

Draper 目前正在全国六个城市旅行，与 TiE Mumbai 合作拍摄他广受欢迎的创业推介节目“Meet the Drapers”的最新一季。

An early believer in crypto, Draper has been investing in it for over a decade now. In 2014, he was the sole winner of an auction bidding for 30,000 Bitcoins organized by the US Marshals Service.

Draper 是加密货币的早期信徒，十多年来一直对其进行投资。 2014年，他成为美国法警局组织的30,000比特币拍卖的唯一获胜者。

To date, he has invested in over 50 crypto companies and led investments in Coinbase, Ledger, Tezos, and Bancor, among others. Draper is also an early investor in tech companies like Tesla, SpaceX, Hotmail, Baidu, and Robinhood.

迄今为止，他已投资了 50 多家加密货币公司，并主导了 Coinbase、Ledger、Tezos 和 Bancor 等公司的投资。 Draper 也是特斯拉、SpaceX、Hotmail、百度和 Robinhood 等科技公司的早期投资者。

Bitcoin and other crypto tokens have been rallying for the past couple of months on the back of speculations regarding pro-crypto US presidential candidate Donald Trump winning the elections. After Trump came into power a few weeks ago, the prices of Bitcoin scaled to record highs, and the rally continued.

过去几个月，由于对支持加密货币的美国总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普赢得选举的猜测，比特币和其他加密货币代币一直在上涨。几周前特朗普上台后，比特币价格创下历史新高，并且涨势仍在持续。

“When Bitcoin really becomes the dominant currency of the world, who's going to want a government currency? Then the stablecoins are interesting, but they're tied to the government currency… There's a gravitation towards Bitcoin. I would buy it at these levels because Bitcoin's worth $2 trillion or something? But the global currency economy is $100-plus trillion. So there's no reason Bitcoin doesn't go up about 30 times from here,” he said.

“当比特币真正成为世界主导货币时，谁会想要政府货币？然后稳定币很有趣，但它们与政府货币挂钩……人们对比特币有一种吸引力。我会在这样的水平上购买它，因为比特币价值 2 万亿美元还是什么？但全球货币经济规模已超过100万亿美元。因此，比特币没有理由不从这里上涨 30 倍左右，”他说。

He predicts that this bullishness around Bitcoin will also drive creativity among crypto entrepreneurs in the US. “These things that all the entrepreneurs were trying to do, and then they realized they had to geofence the US, cutting the US customer out of it. Now they'll be able to do it again. And I think that's great.”

他预测，围绕比特币的这种看涨情绪也将激发美国加密货币企业家的创造力。 “所有企业家都在尝试做这些事情，然后他们意识到必须对美国进行地理围栏，将美国客户排除在外。现在他们将能够再次做到这一点。我认为这很棒。”

Crypto had a banner year globally in 2024, with the US SEC approving Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and the subsequent Bitcoin halving event, which led to a price rally.

2024 年，加密货币在全球范围内度过了辉煌的一年，美国 SEC 批准了比特币交易所交易基金 (ETF) 以及随后的比特币减半事件，导致价格上涨。
