Bitwise 首席执行官认为，当加密货币变得更加主流时，比特币的稀缺性将变得“戏剧性”

Bitwise 首席执行官 Hunter Horsley 认为，当加密货币变得更加主流时，比特币的稀缺性将开始变得“​​戏剧性”。

Bitcoin's scarcity is going to become more apparent as the cryptocurrency gains mainstream adoption, according to Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley.

Bitwise 首席执行官 Hunter Horsley 表示，随着加密货币获得主流采用，比特币的稀缺性将变得更加明显。

"There are estimated 58 million millionaires globally. There’s only enough Bitcoin for ~ 1 in 3 of them to have one," he said.

“全球估计有 5800 万百万富翁。比特币只够其中三分之一的人拥有，”他说。

The executive was referring to the fact that the total supply of Bitcoin is capped at 21 million coins. With the cryptocurrency currently trading at around $100,000, this means that all of the available BTC is valued at roughly $2.1 trillion.

这位高管指的是比特币的总供应量上限为 2100 万枚。目前该加密货币的交易价格约为 10 万美元，这意味着所有可用的 BTC 价值约为 2.1 万亿美元。

At the time of writing, there are around 19.2 million BTC in circulation, with the remaining 1.8 million coins yet to be mined. The new BTC supply is released into the network gradually through the process of mining, which also serves to secure the Bitcoin blockchain.

截至撰写本文时，流通中的比特币数量约为 1920 万枚，其余 180 万枚尚未开采。新的比特币供应量通过挖矿过程逐渐释放到网络中，这也有助于保护比特币区块链。

Bitcoin's scarcity is one of the key factors that have driven its price上涨 in recent years. As more people become aware of the cryptocurrency and begin to acquire it, the scarcity of Bitcoin is bound to become more keenly felt.

比特币的稀缺性是近年来推动其价格上涨的关键因素之一。随着越来越多的人认识到加密货币并开始购买它，比特币的稀缺性必然会变得更加强烈。

"This is going to start to feel dramatic. Get ready for the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) to try and explain it away," Horsley added.

“这将开始让人感到戏剧性。准备好迎接 FUD（恐惧、不确定性和怀疑）试图解释它吧，”霍斯利补充道。

BlackRock's 'Bitcoin supply cap' disclaimer sparks controversy

贝莱德的“比特币供应上限”免责声明引发争议

As reported by U.Today, investment giant BlackRock recently caused a stir among the crypto community with a disclaimer in its educational video, which stated that Bitcoin's maximum supply could be expanded beyond the aforementioned 21 million cap.

据《今日美国》报道，投资巨头贝莱德最近在其教育视频中发布免责声明，称比特币的最大供应量可能会超出上述 2100 万个上限，在加密货币界引起轰动。

Such suggestions are akin to heresy within the Bitcoin community since the cryptocurrency mainly derives its value from its scarcity. The fact that the supply of Bitcoin is both transparent and predictable makes it an attractive alternative to other assets.

这些建议类似于比特币社区内的异端邪说，因为加密货币的价值主要来自于其稀缺性。比特币的供应既透明又可预测，这一事实使其成为其他资产的有吸引力的替代品。

However, Blockstream co-founder Adam Back, who also helped to create Hashcash, the proof-of-work used by Bitcoin, was quick to clarify that the disclaimer is just meaningless legal coverage.

然而，Blockstream 联合创始人 Adam Back（他也帮助创建了比特币使用的工作量证明 Hashcash）很快澄清，该免责声明只是毫无意义的法律报道。

"The disclaimer is just covering the possibility of a Bitcoin hard fork changing the rules, which is something that happens from time to time (e.g., Bitcoin Cash)," Back said.

“免责声明只是涵盖了比特币硬分叉改变规则的可能性，这种情况时常发生（例如比特币现金），”巴克说。

"Each node operating on the network will be able to confirm that Bitcoin's total supply remains unchanged. Any changes would require a new chain and new rules," he explained.

“网络上运行的每个节点都将能够确认比特币的总供应量保持不变。任何变化都需要新的链和新的规则，”他解释道。

Owning full Bitcoin is still a rare occurrence

拥有完整的比特币仍然很少见

According to data provided by BitInfoCharts, only a minuscule portion of all Bitcoin addresses (1.82%) hold an entire coin. In addition, only 8.2% of all addresses in existence have more than 0.1 BTC.

根据 BitInfoCharts 提供的数据，所有比特币地址中只有一小部分（1.82%）持有整个比特币。此外，现有地址中只有 8.2% 拥有超过 0.1 BTC。

Only 0.25% of addresses hold more than 10 BTC, which would be roughly $1 million at current prices.

只有 0.25% 的地址持有超过 10 BTC，按当前价格计算，大约为 100 万美元。

According to CoinGecko data, the price of Bitcoin is approaching the $100,000 price mark once again. Bitcoin bulls argue that the price of the cryptocurrency will keep rising due to the token's finite supply.

根据CoinGecko数据，比特币价格再次逼近10万美元大关。比特币多头认为，由于代币供应有限，加密货币的价格将持续上涨。
