ver 具有这些特征，使它们成为良好的货币输出：标题：天主教徒应该拥抱比特币还是持怀疑态度？

比特币的价格再次上涨。现在有传言称美国可能会建立比特币战略储备。但我们的问题是，天主教徒是否应该拥抱

and silver made the best money.

白银是最赚钱的。

And so when you look at Bitcoin, it has a lot of those same characteristics. It’s easily divisible. You can send fractions of a Bitcoin. It’s portable. You can carry it around on your phone or on a hardware wallet. It’s easily transferable. You can send it to somebody else. It keeps its value. It’s scarce. It’s fungible. All these characteristics that made gold and silver good money are also present in Bitcoin. And I think that’s why a lot of people, especially in the Austrian school of economics, see Bitcoin as a digital gold.

因此，当你观察比特币时，它具有很多相同的特征。它很容易被分割。您可以发送比特币的一小部分。它是便携式的。您可以将其放在手机或硬件钱包中随身携带。它很容易转移。您可以将其发送给其他人。它保持其价值。很稀缺。它是可替代的。所有这些使黄金和白银成为优质货币的特征也都存在于比特币中。我认为这就是为什么很多人，尤其是奥地利经济学院的人，将比特币视为数字黄金。

Now, I will say that I think there’s a lot of people who are kind of overzealous in their enthusiasm for Bitcoin. And I think that’s where you get into the whole Bitcoin Maxi thing. And so I think that’s something we should probably define for people. And I think you’re a good example of this, because I think you’re a Bitcoin Maxi, but you’re also a Catholic. And so I think that’s an interesting kind of tension there.

现在，我想说的是，我认为有很多人对比特币的热情有点过分热心。我认为这就是你了解整个 Bitcoin Maxi 的地方。所以我认为这可能是我们应该为人们定义的东西。我认为你就是一个很好的例子，因为我认为你是比特币 Maxi，但你也是天主教徒。所以我认为这是一种有趣的紧张关系。

So what does it mean to be a Bitcoin Maxi? And how do you kind of reconcile that with your Catholic faith?

那么成为比特币 Maxi 意味着什么呢？您如何使这一点与您的天主教信仰相协调？

Yeah, I think a Bitcoin Maxi is somebody who believes that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that matters and that all the other cryptocurrencies are scams. And I think that there’s a sliding scale of what people mean by that. I think some people mean that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that’s good for being a store of value. And then there’s other people who mean that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that’s good for anything at all. And I think that there’s a sliding scale in between there.

是的，我认为比特币 Maxi 是那些相信比特币是唯一重要的加密货币并且所有其他加密货币都是骗局的人。我认为人们的意思是有一个浮动范围的。我认为有些人的意思是比特币是唯一有利于价值储存的加密货币。还有其他人认为比特币是唯一对任何事物都有好处的加密货币。我认为这之间有一个滑动尺度。

I would say I’m probably more on the moderate side of that. I do believe that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that’s good for being a store of value. And I think that there’s some other cryptocurrencies that might be good for other things. But I think that they’re all inferior to Bitcoin in their own way. And I think that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that’s going to be around in the long run.

我想说我可能更倾向于温和的一面。我确实相信比特币是唯一有利于作为价值储存手段的加密货币。我认为还有一些其他加密货币可能对其他事情有好处。但我认为它们都以自己的方式不如比特币。我认为比特币是唯一能够长期存在的加密货币。

I think that kind of reconciles with my Catholic faith in that I think that God created the world in a certain way and that there’s certain natural laws that govern the world. And I think that Bitcoin is a product of those natural laws. And I think that it’s the best monetary technology that’s ever been invented by man. And I think that it’s going to play a major role in the future of humanity.

我认为这与我的天主教信仰是一致的，因为我认为上帝以某种方式创造了世界，并且有某些自然法则统治着世界。我认为比特币是这些自然法则的产物。我认为这是人类发明的最好的货币技术。我认为它将在人类的未来中发挥重要作用。

So I think that my enthusiasm for Bitcoin is kind of a product of my Catholic faith in a way. And I think that it’s something that I’m excited about and that I want to share with other people. But I also try to be mindful of the fact that it’s not the only thing that’s important in life and that there’s other things that are more important, like my family and my faith.

所以我认为我对比特币的热情在某种程度上是我天主教信仰的产物。我认为这是令我感到兴奋并想与其他人分享的事情。但我也努力记住这样一个事实：这并不是生活中唯一重要的事情，还有其他更重要的事情，比如我的家庭和我的信仰。

Eric Sammons:

埃里克·萨蒙斯：

Yeah, I think that’s a good way to put it. And I think that’s where I would probably land on that as well. I think that Bitcoin is the best monetary technology that’s ever been invented by man. I think it’s the best store of value. I think it’s the best way to transfer value from one person to another. I think it’s the best medium of exchange. I think it’s the best unit of account. I think it’s the best money that’s ever been created.

是的，我认为这是一个很好的表达方式。我想这也是我可能会想到的地方。我认为比特币是人类发明的最好的货币技术。我认为这是最好的价值储存。我认为这是将价值从一个人转移到另一个人的最佳方式。我认为这是最好的交换媒介。我认为这是最好的记账单位。我认为这是有史以来创造的最好的钱。

And I think that there’s other cryptocurrencies that might be good for other things. But I think that they’re all inferior to Bitcoin in their own way. And I think that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that’s going to be around in the long run. I think that all the other cryptocurrencies are going to eventually fail. And I think that Bitcoin is going to be the only one that survives.

我认为还有其他加密货币可能对其他事情有好处。但我认为它们都以自己的方式不如比特币。我认为比特币是唯一能够长期存在的加密货币。我认为所有其他加密货币最终都会失败。我认为比特币将是唯一幸存下来的。

So I think that’s kind of where I land on that. And I think that’s a good way to put it. And I think that’s where you probably land on that as well.

所以我认为这就是我的立场。我认为这是一个很好的表达方式。我认为这也是你可能会想到的地方。

Devin Rose:

德文·罗斯：

Yeah, I think so. And I think that there’s a lot of people who would agree with us on that. But I think that there’s also a lot of people who would disagree with us on that. And I think that’s okay. I think that we can have different opinions on things and still be friends.

是的，我想是的。我认为很多人都会同意我们的观点。但我认为也有很多人不同意我们的观点。我认为那没关系。我认为我们可以对事物有不同的看法，但仍然可以成为朋友。

Eric Sammons:

埃里克·萨蒙斯：

Yeah, I think that’s a good point. And I think that’s something that we should keep in mind, especially when we’re talking about something like Bitcoin, which is a new and emerging technology. And I think that there’s going to be a lot

是的，我认为这是一个很好的观点。我认为这是我们应该牢记的事情，尤其是当我们谈论像比特币这样的新兴技术时。我认为将会有很多
