Bitcoin's Surge Fails to Impress Economist Schiff, Who Disputes Its Comparison to Gold

比特币的飙升未能给经济学家希夫留下深刻印象，他对比特币与黄金的比较提出异议

Renowned economist Peter Schiff has dismissed Bitcoin's recent record-breaking rally, calling into question its purported equivalence to gold.

著名经济学家彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）驳斥了比特币最近破纪录的涨势，质疑其所谓的与黄金的等价性。

Schiff's Argument

希夫的论证

On Sunday, Schiff shared a chart depicting Bitcoin's value in dollar terms, noting that while it had reached a new high in dollars, it had "not hit a new high priced in gold." He elaborated, "Perhaps it never will. That undermines the case for Bitcoin being digital gold."

周日，希夫分享了一张以美元计价的比特币价值图表，并指出，虽然以美元计价的比特币已达到新高，但“尚未达到以黄金计价的新高”。他解释说：“也许永远不会。这破坏了比特币作为数字黄金的理由。”

Gold's Significance

黄金的意义

Traditionally, gold has been regarded as a safe haven asset, offering protection during market downturns. Consequently, it is commonly included in investment portfolios to mitigate volatility.

传统上，黄金被视为避险资产，在市场低迷时期提供保护。因此，它通常被包含在投资组合中以减轻波动性。

Bitcoin's Performance

比特币的表现

Despite Schiff's skepticism, Bitcoin has emerged as a top-performing asset in 2023 and early 2024. After a remarkable 155% surge in 2023, the cryptocurrency has gained approximately 67% in the first quarter of 2024. This momentum was partly driven by the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

尽管希夫持怀疑态度，但比特币在 2023 年和 2024 年初已成为表现最佳的资产。在 2023 年大幅上涨 155% 后，这种加密货币在 2024 年第一季度上涨了约 67%。这一势头部分是由证券市场推动的交易委员会 (SEC) 批准现货比特币交易所交易基金 (ETF)。

Analysts' Perspectives

分析师的观点

Larry Tentarelli, Chief Technical Strategist at Blue Chip Daily Trend Report, anticipates further Bitcoin gains this year, predicting a value exceeding $100,000. He attributes this potential growth to the upcoming Bitcoin halving event, tentatively scheduled for April 19-20, assuming the 10-year bond yield remains below 4.40%.

Blue Chip Daily Trend Report 首席技术策略师 Larry Tentarelli 预计今年比特币将进一步上涨，价值将超过 10 万美元。他将这一潜在增长归因于即将到来的比特币减半事件，暂定于 4 月 19 日至 20 日举行，假设 10 年期债券收益率仍低于 4.40%。

Conversely, certain analysts foresee a potential pullback following Bitcoin's recent surge. Schiff has not only accused the media of overhyping Bitcoin but has also highlighted the limitations associated with Bitcoin ETFs.

相反，某些分析师预计比特币近期飙升后可能会出现回调。希夫不仅指责媒体过度炒作比特币，还强调了比特币 ETF 的局限性。

Gold's Performance

黄金的表现

In contrast to Bitcoin's recent volatility, gold has enjoyed a steady upward trajectory, reaching a record high of $2,254.80 at the end of the quarter and peaking at $2,256.90 on Thursday.

与比特币近期的波动形成鲜明对比的是，黄金一直处于稳定的上涨轨道，在本季度末达到历史新高 2,254.80 美元，并于周四达到峰值 2,256.90 美元。
