微软联合创始人比尔·盖茨曾表达对比特币的怀疑 BTC/USD

在 2018 年的一次采访中，盖茨批评比特币作为一种资产类别缺乏生产力。

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has expressed his doubts about Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) in the past, stating that he would bet against the cryptocurrency if given the opportunity.

微软联合创始人比尔盖茨过去曾表达过对比特币（CRYPTO：BTC）的怀疑，并表示如果有机会他会做空这种加密货币。

In a 2018 interview with CNBC, Gates criticized Bitcoin’s lack of productivity as an asset class.

在 2018 年接受 CNBC 采访时，盖茨批评比特币作为一种资产类别缺乏生产力。

"As an asset class, you're not producing anything and so you shouldn't expect it to go up. It's kind of a pure 'greater fool theory' type of investment,” he said.

“作为一种资产类别，你不会生产任何东西，所以你不应该期望它会上涨。这是一种纯粹的‘傻瓜理论’类型的投资，”他说。

“I agree I would short it if there was an easy way to do it."

“我同意，如果有一种简单的方法可以做到这一点，我会做空它。”

Despite his skepticism towards Bitcoin and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), Gates acknowledged the potential of the underlying blockchain technology.

尽管盖茨对比特币和首次代币发行（ICO）持怀疑态度，但他承认底层区块链技术的潜力。

"Bitcoin and ICOs, I believe completely of the crazier, speculative things," Gates added. He also said that someone once gave him some Bitcoin for his birthday, but he sold it a few years afterward.

盖茨补充道：“我完全相信比特币和 ICO 是更疯狂、更投机的事情。”他还说，曾经有人送给他一些比特币作为生日礼物，但几年后他就把它卖掉了。

Blockchain technology eliminates the need for a third-party intermediary, such as a bank, by quickly creating a secure, permanent record of a transaction between two parties.

区块链技术通过快速创建两方之间交易的安全、永久记录，消除了对银行等第三方中介机构的需求。

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $94,816.71.

Gates’ skepticism adds to the ongoing debate about the viability of cryptocurrencies. While the underlying blockchain technology is widely acknowledged for its potential to revolutionize various sectors, the volatility and lack of productivity of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin continue to raise concerns among investors and industry leaders.

盖茨的怀疑加剧了有关加密货币可行性的持续争论。尽管底层区块链技术因其彻底改变各个行业的潜力而得到广泛认可，但比特币等加密货币的波动性和生产力缺乏继续引起投资者和行业领导者的担忧。

Gates' comments come at a time when Bitcoin's value has seen significant fluctuations, further highlighting the risks associated with such investments.

盖茨发表上述言论之际，比特币的价值出现了大幅波动，进一步凸显了与此类投资相关的风险。
