比特幣繼續(xù)瘋狂,突破3,000美元大關(guān)
加密貨幣比特幣繼續(xù)著驚人的上揚(yáng)勢(shì)頭,并在上周日下午短暫越過(guò)了3,000美元的門(mén)檻。 這一數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)自比特幣價(jià)格指數(shù)CoinDesk,盡管其競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手CoinMarketCap指數(shù)算出的匯率峰值比3,000美元要低上幾美分(比特幣的價(jià)格根據(jù)交易平臺(tái)不同而有所區(qū)別,所以不同的公式計(jì)算出的匯率也不一樣)。 自5月初開(kāi)始,比特幣的匯率就連創(chuàng)新高,當(dāng)時(shí)比特幣的價(jià)格接近1,400美元。越來(lái)越多的人認(rèn)為,這種加密貨幣的市場(chǎng)已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)泡沫。然而在這樣的情況下,其價(jià)格仍舊一路攀升。 庫(kù)班在上周二連續(xù)發(fā)推闡述這種觀點(diǎn)。不過(guò)在5月的Consensus區(qū)塊鏈大會(huì)上,這項(xiàng)技術(shù)的核心人物針對(duì)過(guò)度飛漲的比特幣價(jià)格就已經(jīng)率先提出了警告。而《財(cái)富》的羅伯特?哈克特觀察到Token Summit大會(huì)預(yù)定席位過(guò)多,引發(fā)與會(huì)者厭惡不滿時(shí),他認(rèn)為整個(gè)比特幣市場(chǎng)都寫(xiě)滿了“泡沫”二字。 大部分觀察家,包括庫(kù)班,如今已經(jīng)接受了區(qū)塊鏈技術(shù)。這項(xiàng)技術(shù)基于股份總賬,是在數(shù)據(jù)安全上的一次前途無(wú)量的創(chuàng)新。它在供應(yīng)鏈管理到健康數(shù)據(jù)等各個(gè)領(lǐng)域進(jìn)行資產(chǎn)和信息追蹤上,擁有巨大的潛力。不過(guò)比特幣的價(jià)格目前在很大程度上都依托于人們對(duì)于比特率普及度提升,未來(lái)會(huì)有更多創(chuàng)新應(yīng)用的猜測(cè)。對(duì)于Ethereum、Dash和Litecoin等與比特幣一同崛起的加密貨幣和區(qū)塊鏈系統(tǒng)而言,這一點(diǎn)甚至更加明顯。 不過(guò)以投機(jī)為驅(qū)動(dòng)力的市場(chǎng),同樣也容易受到感情的影響劇烈波動(dòng)。如果投資者的情緒開(kāi)始動(dòng)搖,市場(chǎng)也會(huì)迅速動(dòng)搖,導(dǎo)致比特幣價(jià)值出現(xiàn)大量縮水。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)) 譯者:嚴(yán)匡正 |
The cryptocurrencybitcoin has continued its stunning run-up, briefly surpassing the $3,000 threshold early Sunday afternoon. That’s according to the CoinDeskBitcoin Price Index, though competing index CoinMarketCap calculated the peak exchange rate at just a few cents short of $3,000 (bitcoin prices vary across exchanges, so different formulas can arrive at different exchange rates.) The new peak continues a surge that began in earnest in early May, when a bitcoin was worth nearly $1,400. And it flies in the face of a widening consensus that the cryptocurrency market is in a bubble. That was Mark Cuban’s take last Tuesday, but the technology’s own central figures beat him to the punch by warning about overly inflated prices from the stage at the Consensus blockchain conference in May. And when he saw disgruntled attendees turned away from the overbooked Token Summit conference, Fortune's Robert Hackett saw bubble written all over the bitcoin market. Most observers, including Cuban, have by now accepted that blockchain technology, a promising innovation in data security based on shared ledgers, has huge potential for tracking assets and information in fields from supply chain management to health records. But the price of bitcoin is currently based in large part on speculation about growing adoption and innovative future applications. That’s even more true for parallel cryptocurrencies and blockchain systems like Ethereum, Dash, and Litecoin, which are mostly rising in tandem with bitcoin. But a speculation-driven market is also an emotionally fragile market. If sentiment swings, it may swing quickly, and cause a lot of bitcon's value to evaporate. |
