杰罗姆·鲍威尔将比特币与黄金进行比较，称其为“数字黄金”

在最近与 CNBC 的 Andrew Ross Sorkin 的对话中，美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔将比特币和黄金进行了比较。

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has compared Bitcoin to gold, suggesting that the leading cryptocurrency is not a competitor to the US dollar.

美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔将比特币与黄金进行了比较，表明领先的加密货币并不是美元的竞争对手。

During a recent conversation with CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin, Powell noted that people are using Bitcoin as a speculative asset, much like gold, but only in a virtual, digital form.

鲍威尔在最近与 CNBC 的安德鲁·罗斯·索金 (Andrew Ross Sorkin) 的对话中指出，人们将比特币用作投机资产，就像黄金一样，但只是以虚拟的数字形式。

However, the Federal Reserve head has emphasized that people are not actually using Bitcoin as a form of payment or a store of value.

然而，美联储主席强调，人们实际上并没有将比特币用作支付形式或价值储存手段。

"It's not a competitor to the dollar. It's really a competitor for gold. That's really how I think about it," Powell said.

“它不是美元的竞争对手。它实际上是黄金的竞争对手。这就是我的真实想法，”鲍威尔说。

According to CoinGecko data, Bitcoin is currently changing hands at $96,843, adding 0.6% following Powell's remarks.

根据 CoinGecko 数据，比特币目前以 96,843 美元易手，鲍威尔讲话后上涨 0.6%。

This comparison to gold could be an indication that Powell has shifted his stance on Bitcoin, considering his previous statements about the cryptocurrency being used "for illicit finance and other activities that are not really legal."

与黄金的比较可能表明鲍威尔已经改变了他对比特币的立场，考虑到他之前关于加密货币被用于“非法金融和其他并不真正合法的活动”的声明。

However, the inclusion of Bitcoin in mainstream conversations and discussions about gold and other traditional investment avenues highlights how far the narrative around cryptocurrency has come.

然而，将比特币纳入有关黄金和其他传统投资途径的主流对话和讨论，凸显了围绕加密货币的叙述已经取得了多大进展。

"From this day forth, you are no longer permitted to ask me to waste my breath and energy on the investment case for Bitcoin. Because it's no longer 2014. In 2024, you can look up Powell, Fink, Druckenmiller and other credible voices of monetary policy and investment leadership," Jeff Park, an active portfolio manager at Bitwise Asset Management, said in response to the gold comparison.

“从今天起，你不准再让我在比特币的投资案例上浪费口舌和精力。因为现在已经不是2014年了。2024年，你可以查阅鲍威尔、芬克、德鲁肯米勒等可信的声音。” Bitwise 资产管理公司的活跃投资组合经理杰夫·帕克 (Jeff Park) 在回应黄金比较时表示：“货币政策和投资领导力。”
