比特币的不可思议之处在于,随着时间的推移,它缓慢但稳步地消除了每一个生存风险。

我第一次听说比特币是在2011年2月。

当时我在 ETF.com 工作,管理着一支年轻的金融分析师团队,负责运营世界上第一个 ETF 数据和分析服务。我们每周都会开会讨论市场动态。2011 年 2 月,比特币首次突破 1 美元,我的一位分析师宣布了这个历史性的“美元门槛”。然后,他引导大家进行了一场精彩的对话,探讨了比特币是什么、它如何运作以及它未来会变成什么样子。

如果我在那次会议之后投资了 1,000 美元购买比特币,那么它今天的价值将达到 8800 万美元。相反,我离开办公室去喝咖啡。

我分享这个故事是因为每个人—— 每个人 ——都有这种感觉。我们都希望自己早点买比特币。

但我们在这些故事中忘记的是,比特币当时面临着巨大的风险。

例如,在我召开 1 美元会议的那天,世界上最大的加密货币交易所是 New Liberty Financial。以下是他们的服务条款。

事后看来,我很容易说我应该买 1,000 美元的比特币。但当时,这意味着向一个随机的 PayPal 地址发送 1,000 美元。再加上托管、监管、技术和政府风险……2011 年将 1,000 美元投入比特币是一场巨大的赌博。

我现在分享这个故事有两个原因:

1)让你摆脱第一次丢失比特币的困境;

2)让你相信现在情况已经不同了。

事实上,我相信今天——现在——是历史上以风险调整后的价格购买比特币的最佳时机。

我们刚刚消除了最后一个生存风险

每项投资都涉及权衡风险与回报。一张彩票可以将 1 美元变成 10 亿美元,但您的预期回报为零。

在早期,比特币有点像一张彩票:巨大的上涨空间,但同样巨大的风险。

例如,当比特币首次推出时,没有人能保证它一定会成功。是的,白皮书很精彩。是的,逻辑表明它会成功。但在比特币推出之前,曾有过多次建立电子现金的努力,但都失败了。(举个例子,看看这篇论文《 如何铸币:匿名电子现金的密码学 》,由国家安全局于 1997 年撰写。)

但早期比特币除了技术本身之外,还面临其他重大风险。多年来,交易一直存在风险——早期的交易所要么不可靠,要么交易量低、运营不善。后来,Coinbase 于 2011 年底成立,游戏规则发生了变化。

有一段时间,托管也是一种风险——直到富达等知名蓝筹公司开始提供自我托管和机构托管。

在比特币的早期,人们也对洗钱、犯罪活动、监管标准、挖矿集中度等问题存在合理担忧。

比特币的不可思议之处在于,随着时间的推移,它缓慢但稳步地消除了每一个生存风险。

2024 年 1 月推出的现货比特币 ETF 为希望进入该领域的美国机构投资者提供了监管明确性, 帮助我们克服了另一个重大障碍。

但即使在 ETF 推出之后,我心中始终萦绕着一个生存风险:如果政府禁止它怎么办?

美国战略比特币储备

当有人在会议上问我“是什么让您夜不能寐?”时,我总是会提到这一点。

我一直在想,美国在 1933 年曾没收私人黄金储备以充实国库。为什么它会允许比特币发展到足以威胁美元的程度呢?

说实话我不知道答案。

当在舞台上受到追问时,我总是提醒人们,美国政府在 1933 年从其公民手中购买了黄金: 如果比特币变得足够大到可以挑战美元, 我想说, 你的投资可能会获得相当不错的回报。

这是我能做的最好的事了。

但本月初,特朗普总统签署了一项行政命令,建立了美国战略比特币储备 。就这样,比特币面临的最后一个生存风险在我眼前消失了。

很多人都想知道美国为什么要这么做。对冲基金 AQR Capital 的创始人 Cliff Asness 在特朗普签署行政命令后立即写道 :“如果加密货币是美元的长期竞争对手,我们为什么要推广这种直接竞争对手来对抗我们作为世界储备货币的地位呢?”

答案当然是比特币比其他选择更好。

对美国来说,最好的情况是美元仍然是世界储备货币。但如果我们到了这种局面面临风险的地步,我们最好还是转向比特币,而不是其他竞争国家的货币。

这是我最初没有想到的:美国当然会接受比特币。这是市场上最好的后备方案。

这对投资者意味着什么

据传,在 Bitwise,我们开始看到这种去风险化的影响。两年前,Bitwise 客户通常会将其投资组合的约 1% 分配给比特币和其他加密资产,这是他们可以轻松承受的损失。

考虑到比特币被禁止或面临其他失败的可能性不为零,这是有道理的。在今天的环境下,情况就不同了。我们更经常看到 3% 的分配。随着越来越多的人意识到我们在比特币中看到的大规模去风险化,我认为你会看到这个数字上升到 5% 甚至更高。

风险和重要信息

不提供投资建议;损失风险:在做出任何投资决策之前,每位投资者必须进行自己的独立审查和调查,包括投资的优点和风险,并且必须根据此类审查和调查做出投资决策(包括确定该投资是否适合投资者)。

加密资产是价值的数字表示,可充当交换媒介、记账单位或价值存储,但它们不具有法定货币地位。加密资产有时会在世界范围内兑换美元或其他货币,但目前它们不受任何政府或中央银行的支持。它们的价值完全由市场供求力量决定,而且比传统货币、股票或债券波动性更大。

加密资产交易存在重大风险,包括市场价格剧烈波动或闪电崩盘、市场操纵、网络安全风险以及损失本金或全部投资的风险。此外,加密资产市场和交易所的监管控制或客户保护措施与股票、期权、期货或外汇投资不同。

加密资产交易需要了解加密资产市场。在尝试通过加密资产交易获利时,您必须与世界各地的交易者竞争。在进行大量加密资产交易之前,您应该具备适当的知识和经验。加密资产交易可能导致巨额且即时的财务损失。在某些市场条件下,您可能会发现很难或不可能以合理的价格快速清算头寸。

DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): A Comprehensive Analysis Introduction to DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a blockchain-based project operating on the Solana network, which aims to combine the characteristics of traditional precious metals with the innovation of decentralized technologies. While it shares a name with Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold” due to its perception as a store of value, DIGITAL GOLD is a separate token designed to create a unique ecosystem within the Web3 landscape. Its goal is to position itself as a viable alternative digital asset, although specifics regarding its applications and functionalities are still developing. What is DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a cryptocurrency token explicitly designed for use on the Solana blockchain. In contrast to Bitcoin, which provides a widely recognized value storage role, this token appears to focus on broader applications and characteristics. Notable aspects include: Blockchain Infrastructure: The token is built on the Solana blockchain, known for its capacity to handle high-speed and low-cost transactions. Supply Dynamics: DIGITAL GOLD has a maximum supply capped at 100 quadrillion tokens (100P $BITCOIN), although details regarding its circulating supply are currently undisclosed. Utility: While precise functionalities are not explicitly outlined, there are indications that the token could be utilized for various applications, potentially involving decentralized applications (dApps) or asset tokenization strategies. Who is the Creator of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? At present, the identity of the creators and development team behind DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) remains unknown. This situation is typical among many innovative projects within the blockchain space, particularly those aligning with decentralized finance and meme coin phenomena. While such anonymity may foster a community-driven culture, it intensifies concerns about governance and accountability. Who are the Investors of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? The available information indicates that DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) does not have any known institutional backers or prominent venture capital investments. The project seems to operate on a peer-to-peer model focused on community support and adoption rather than traditional funding routes. Its activity and liquidity are primarily situated on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as PumpSwap, rather than established centralized trading platforms, further highlighting its grassroots approach. How DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) Works The operational mechanics of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) can be elaborated on based on its blockchain design and network attributes: Consensus Mechanism: By leveraging Solana’s unique proof-of-history (PoH) combined with a proof-of-stake (PoS) model, the project ensures efficient transaction validation contributing to the network's high performance. Tokenomics: While specific deflationary mechanisms have not been extensively detailed, the vast maximum token supply implies that it may cater to microtransactions or niche use cases that are still to be defined. Interoperability: There exists the potential for integration with Solana’s broader ecosystem, including various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. However, the details regarding specific integrations remain unspecified. Timeline of Key Events Here is a timeline that highlights significant milestones concerning DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): 2023: The initial deployment of the token occurs on the Solana blockchain, marked by its contract address. 2024: DIGITAL GOLD gains visibility as it becomes available for trading on decentralized exchanges like PumpSwap, allowing users to trade it against SOL. 2025: The project witnesses sporadic trading activity and potential interest in community-led engagements, although no noteworthy partnerships or technical advancements have been documented as of yet. Critical Analysis Strengths Scalability: The underlying Solana infrastructure supports high transaction volumes, which could enhance the utility of $BITCOIN in various transaction scenarios. Accessibility: The potential low trading price per token could attract retail investors, facilitating wider participation due to fractional ownership opportunities. Risks Lack of Transparency: The absence of publicly known backers, developers, or an audit process may yield skepticism regarding the project's sustainability and trustworthiness. Market Volatility: The trading activity is heavily reliant on speculative behavior, which can result in significant price volatility and uncertainty for investors. Conclusion DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) emerges as an intriguing yet ambiguous project within the rapidly evolving Solana ecosystem. While it attempts to leverage the “digital gold” narrative, its departure from Bitcoin's established role as a store of value underscores the need for a clearer differentiation of its intended utility and governance structure. Future acceptance and adoption will likely depend on addressing the current opacity and defining its operational and economic strategies more explicitly. Note: This report encompasses synthesised information available as of October 2023, and developments may have transpired beyond the research period.
