遇到华尔街最不寻常的比特币库存：煤炭生产商的产量高达10％

联盟资源合作伙伴（NASDAQ：ARLP）悄悄地在其资产负债表上建立了471,107 token的位置，截至1月27日，ARLP持有所有将存在的比特币的2.24％。

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has certainly entered the scene in the early 2010s, and boy has it run circles around Wall Street's major stock indexes. Through the March 8 close, Bitcoin has gained 644%, 3,006%, and 11,663% over the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite, respectively, since March 8, 2020. To put this another way, an initial investment of $1,000 in Bitcoin at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic would now be worth close to $125,000.

比特币（Crypto：BTC）肯定在2010年代初进入了现场，Boy让它在华尔街的主要股票指数周围运行。在3月8日结束时，比特币在2020年3月8日以来，比特币分别获得了644％，3,006％和11,663％的比特币，分别比标准普尔500，道琼斯工业平均水平和纳斯达克综合。目前，在Covid-19的大流行开始时，比特币的$ 1,000现在价值接近125,000美元。

But if you're a value investor, you might not be interested in an asset that's already had its big run. Instead, you might prefer to identify the next Bitcoin -- an up-and-coming cryptocurrency that could still deliver life-changing gains. With that in mind, let's take a closer look at two cryptocurrencies that could follow in Bitcoin's footsteps.

但是，如果您是价值投资者，那么您可能对已经有很大运行的资产不感兴趣。取而代之的是，您可能更喜欢识别下一个比特币 - 一种新兴的加密货币，仍然可以带来改变生活的增长。考虑到这一点，让我们仔细研究一下可以跟随比特币的脚步的两个加密货币。

Don't get me wrong: I fully expect Bitcoin to continue generating wealth for early investors for years, if not decades, to come. However, it's also important to recognize that the cryptocurrency market is cyclical. Periods of outsized gains, like we've witnessed over the past 14 months, tend to be followed by periods of consolidation or weakness.

不要误会我的意思：我完全希望比特币能够继续为早期投资者（即使不是几十年）继续为早期投资者带来财富。但是，同样重要的是要认识到加密货币市场是周期性的。就像我们过去14个月中所见证的那样，超大收益的时期往往是巩固或弱点的时期。

To continue generating market-crushing returns, investors should be pivoting away from Bitcoin and into the next generation of Web3 tokens. These tokens are powering the decentralized applications (dApps) that will onboard billions of users to the blockchain. And as these tokens appreciate in value, so too will the underlying cryptocurrencies that power them.

为了继续产生市场冲动的回报，投资者应该从比特币转移到下一代Web3代币。这些代币正在为分散的应用程序（DAPP）提供动力，该应用程序将登上数十亿用户到区块链。正如这些代币在价值上所欣赏的那样，为它们供电的基础加密货币也将如此。

Here are two cryptocurrencies that could follow in Bitcoin's footsteps and make early investors a lot of money.

这里有两个加密货币，可以跟随比特币的脚步，并使早期的投资者大量资金。

1. XRP is the native cryptocurrency of the XRP Ledger, a decentralized blockchain technology that's designed to facilitate fast and low-cost payments. XRP is used to pay transaction fees on the XRP Ledger and can also be used as a bridge currency to facilitate cross-border payments.

1。XRP是XRP Ledger的本机加密货币，这是一种分散的区块链技术，旨在促进快速和低成本的付款。 XRP用于支付XRP分类帐上的交易费用，也可以用作桥梁货币以促进跨境支付。

The XRP Ledger is capable of processing transactions in as little as three seconds and at a cost of just 0.0002 XRP (less than $0.0001). For context, the average Bitcoin transaction takes 10 minutes to complete and costs around $2.60. This combination of speed and low cost has made XRP a favorite among cryptocurrency enthusiasts and institutional investors alike.

XRP Ledger能够在短短三秒钟内处理交易，仅为0.0002 XRP（小于$ 0.0001）。在上下文中，平均比特币交易需要10分钟才能完成，费用约为2.60美元。这种速度和低成本的结合使XRP成为加密货币爱好者和机构投资者的最爱。

In fact, XRP is the cryptocurrency of choice for payment processing giant MoneyGram International. MoneyGram began using XRP in 2019 to power its cross-border payment service between the United States and Mexico. And in 2021, MoneyGram expanded its partnership with Ripple (XRP's parent company) to include real-time payments in key markets around the world.

实际上，XRP是用于付款处理巨头Moneygram International首选的加密货币。 MoneyGram于2019年开始使用XRP为美国和墨西哥之间的跨境支付服务提供动力。在2021年，MoneyGram扩大了与Ripple（XRP的母公司）的合作伙伴关系，以在全球主要市场中包括实时付款。

As of this writing, XRP is the eighth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization with a total value of around $43 billion. Over the past 12 months, XRP has generated gains of close to 100%, easily outpacing the performance of Bitcoin. And with an ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) nearing its conclusion, XRP could be poised for even bigger gains in 2023.

截至撰写本文时，XRP是市值的第八大加密货币，总价值约为430亿美元。在过去的12个月中，XRP产生的收益接近100％，很容易超过比特币的性能。随着Ripple与美国证券交易委员会（SEC）之间的持续法律斗争，XRP可以在2023年获得更大的收益。

2. Chainlink (CRYPTO:LINK) is the native cryptocurrency of the Chainlink decentralized oracle network, which provides smart contracts on the blockchain with access to real-world data. This data can be used to trigger actions within smart contracts, such as releasing funds upon the delivery of a product or service.

2。链链接（加密：链接）是链链接分散的Oracle网络的本机加密货币，该网络在区块链上提供智能合约，并访问了对现实世界数据的访问。这些数据可用于触发智能合约中的操作，例如在交付产品或服务时释放资金。

Chainlink is used by a variety of decentralized applications (dApps) and protocols, including Aave, Synthetix, and PancakeSwap. These dApps rely on Chainlink to provide them with the data they need to function properly. For example, Aave uses Chainlink to get the latest price data on the cryptocurrencies that users can borrow and lend on the platform.

ChainLink由各种分散应用程序（DAPP）和协议（包括AAVE，Synthetix和Pancakeswap）使用。这些DAPP依靠ChainLink为它们提供正常运行所需的数据。例如，AAVE使用ChainLink获取用户可以在平台上借入和借用的加密货币的最新价格数据。

As more and more dApps are built on the blockchain, the demand for Chainlink's services is only going to increase. This should lead to higher prices for LINK, the cryptocurrency that powers the Chainlink network.

随着越来越多的DAPP建立在区块链上，对Chainlink服务的需求只会增加。这应该导致链接的价格更高，链接是为链链接网络提供动力的加密货币。

As of this writing, Chainlink is the 24th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization with a total value of around $6 billion. Over the past 12 months, Chainlink has generated gains of close to 300%, also easily outpacing the performance of Bitcoin. And with the dApp market still in its early stages of development, Chainlink could be poised for even bigger gains in the years to come.

截至撰写本文时，ChainLink是市值的第24大加密货币，总价值约为60亿美元。在过去的12个月中，ChainLink的收益接近300％，也很容易超过比特币的性能。随着DAPP市场仍处于开发的早期阶段，ChainLink可能会在未来几年中获得更大的收益。
