Bitcoin price nears $100,000 amid Trump's crypto push, sparking record highs

在特朗普的加密货币推动下，比特币价格接近10万美元，创下历史新高

If it seems everyone is talking about bitcoin these days, you're onto something.

如果现在似乎每个人都在谈论比特币，那么你就明白了。

The digital currency has been hitting record highs and neared $100,000 this past week, having doubled in value throughout 2024. Launched in 2009, bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency, meaning that it's a digital currency and does not rely on banks to verify transactions.

这种数字货币一直创下历史新高，上周接近 10 万美元，其价值在 2024 年全年翻了一番。比特币于 2009 年推出，是第一种加密货币，这意味着它是一种数字货币，不依赖银行验证交易。

Bitcoin's surge – up about 130% this year – is one of the "Trump trades," market moves that have kicked in since former President Donald Trump's victory in the Nov. 5 election.

比特币的飙升——今年上涨了约 130%——是“特朗普交易”之一，这是自前总统唐纳德·特朗普在 11 月 5 日大选中获胜以来开始出现的市场走势。

Trump has dabbled in cryptocurrency – releasing crypto-based digital trading cards – and Trump Media and Technology Group, which operates Truth Social, is reportedly close to acquiring crypto trading firm Bakkt. The Trump family launched its own crypto firm, World Liberty Financial, in September.

特朗普已经涉足加密货币领域——发布基于加密货币的数字交易卡——据报道，运营Truth Social的特朗普媒体和科技集团即将收购加密货币交易公司Bakkt。特朗普家族于 9 月推出了自己的加密货币公司 World Liberty Financial。

Investors have wagered Trump's support for bitcoin and other digital assets will lead to fewer restrictions on the industry. During the presidential campaign, Trump said he would make America the “world capital for crypto and bitcoin.”

投资者押注特朗普对比特币和其他数字资产的支持将导致对该行业的限制减少。在总统竞选期间，特朗普表示他将使美国成为“世界加密货币和比特币之都”。

Trump has tapped Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder Elon Musk to co-lead, with Vivek Ramaswamy, the new Department of Government Efficiency, or D.O.G.E. It's an acronym for cryptocurrency called Dogecoin, which Musk supported as it became a phenomenon in 2021. 

特朗普任命特斯拉首席执行官兼 SpaceX 创始人埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 与维韦克·拉马斯瓦米 (Vivek Ramaswamy) 共同领导新成立的政府效率部 (DOGE)。狗狗币是加密货币的缩写，狗狗币 (Dogecoin) 受到马斯克的支持，因为它在 2021 年成为一种现象。

What is bitcoin?

什么是比特币？

Bitcoin is a digital asset, launched in 2009 by a person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto and designed to have a cap of 21 million bitcoin tokens. Bitcoin is created as crypto miners use their computing work to validate bitcoin transactions on its decentralized blockchain network, essentially a digital ledger meant to prevent fraud. As the crypto miners work, they earn bitcoin.

比特币是一种数字资产，由中本聪 (Satoshi Nakamoto) 个人或团体于 2009 年推出，设计上限为 2100 万个比特币代币。比特币是随着加密货币矿工使用他们的计算工作来验证其去中心化区块链网络上的比特币交易而创建的，本质上是一个旨在防止欺诈的数字分类账。当加密货币矿工工作时，他们赚取比特币。

So far, about 19 million tokens have been released. In April, bitcoin underwent a "halving," which kicks in about every four years to reduce the rate at which new bitcoins are created and released into circulation. As the bitcoin cap of 21 million tokens nears, demand likely increases, according to Investopedia.

到目前为止，已经发行了约1900万个代币。四月份，比特币经历了“减半”，大约每四年发生一次，以降低新比特币的创建和释放进入流通的速度。据 Investopedia 称，随着比特币 2100 万枚的上限接近，需求可能会增加。

Currently, a bitcoin is worth about $98,000. But the ownership of fractional shares of bitcoin is common, notes NerdWallet.

目前，一枚比特币的价值约为 98,000 美元。但 NerdWallet 指出，持有比特币的部分股份很常见。

What are bitcoin ETFs?

什么是比特币 ETF？

It's Trump's interest in bitcoin alone that's led to bitcoin's climb. Earlier this year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission voted to allow the sale of bitcoin-based exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, to the public.

正是特朗普对比特币的兴趣导致了比特币的攀升。今年早些时候，美国证券交易委员会投票允许向公众出售基于比特币的交易所交易基金（ETF）。

That action allowed more investors to get into bitcoin in a similar manner to how they invest in stocks, bypassing crypto exchanges.

这一行动让更多投资者能够绕过加密货币交易所，以与投资股票类似的方式进入比特币。

How does bitcoin work?

比特币是如何运作的？

Like the dollar, bitcoin can be used as currency, but it's virtual and isn't controlled by banks or governments. While an entire bitcoin is priced at nearly $100,000, you can own partial shares of each coin. The smallest share of each bitcoin is called a Satoshi – after the cryptocurrency's creator – equal to a hundred millionth of one bitcoin, according to NerdWallet.

与美元一样，比特币可以用作货币，但它是虚拟的，不受银行或政府控制。虽然整个比特币的价格接近 100,000 美元，但您可以拥有每种比特币的部分股份。根据 NerdWallet 的说法，每个比特币的最小份额被称为“中本聪”（以加密货币创造者的名字命名），相当于一个比特币的一亿分之一。

You can buy bitcoin on a crypto exchange such as Binance.US, online stockbrokers including Fidelity and E-Trade, and trading apps like Robinhood.

您可以在 Binance.US 等加密货币交易所、Fidelity 和 E-Trade 等在线股票经纪商以及 Robinhood 等交易应用程序上购买比特币。

If you buy bitcoin on a crypto exchange, you will create a "crypto wallet" to hold your bitcoin. If you invest in those bitcoin ETFs the SEC approved earlier this year, online brokers will hold your bitcoin in your brokerage account as any other investment.

如果您在加密货币交易所购买比特币，您将创建一个“加密钱包”来保存您的比特币。如果您投资 SEC 今年早些时候批准的比特币 ETF，在线经纪商将像任何其他投资一样将您的比特币保留在您的经纪账户中。

我可以用比特币购买什么？

Pretty much anything. For instance, you can get a bitcoin debit card, which you load with a certain amount of your cryptocurrency holdings. That can be used as you would any debit card.

几乎任何东西。例如，您可以获得一张比特币借记卡，您可以在其中加载一定数量的加密货币。可以像任何借记卡一样使用。

Beyond that, many companies now accept cryptocurrency for purchases including AT&T, Microsoft, Rolex, Time Inc., and Tesla, notes Investopedia.

除此之外，Investopedia 指出，许多公司现在都接受加密货币购买，包括 AT&T、微软、劳力士、时代公司和特斯拉。

You can buy "art," too. That banana duct-taped to a wall, which sold last week for $6.2 million? The buyer paid in crypto.

你也可以购买“艺术品”。那根用胶带粘在墙上的香蕉上周以 620 万美元的价格售出？买家用加密货币付款。
