(原标题:我在2万美元买了比特币,现在每天提心吊胆)
在比特币飙到接近2万美元的时候,有人发誓从此再也不碰比特币,有人因为提前卖掉比特币而自杀,还有人欠下消费贷债务无法填坑……
When Bitcoin jumped close to 20,000 , some vowed never to touch bitcoin again, others committed suicide by selling bitcoin in advance and consumer debt could not be filled...
去年12月,美国最大的期权交易所 CBOE 推出了比特币期货,让本已疯狂的比特币价格继续推高,在一周内上涨了20%,并在12月17日一举突破2万美元的关卡达到史前的最高报价20888美元。
Last December, the United States' largest option CBOE launched Bitcoin futures, allowing the already insane bitcoin price to continue to rise, rising by 20% in a week, and on 17 December it reached its prehistoric highest bid of $2088.8
在比特币接近2万美元时,当时投资研究机构 Standpoint Research 创始人 Ronnie Moas 直言:「自7月初我推荐以来,比特币价格已上涨500%,我预计从目前水平还将再上涨500%,比特币的终极游戏将是达到30万至40万美元,成为全球最具价值的货币。」
At a time when Bitcoin was close to $20,000, Ronnie Moas, the founder of the investment research institute Standpoint Research, said, “since my recommendation in early July, the price of Bitcoin has increased by 500 per cent, I expect to increase by another 500 per cent from the current level, and the Bitcoin final game will be 300,000 to 400,000 dollars, making it the most valuable currency in the world.”
与此同时,国内关于比特币的热度也达到了历史最高值,各种大V、区块链媒体蜂拥出现,大家一致认为比特币还可以涨下去。
At the same time, the domestic heat on Bitcoin has reached its highest level in history, with a crowd of large Vs, 然而,市场的走势却把所有人的脸都打肿了。距离比特币接近2万美元已经过去了8个月,区块律动BlockBeats有3个故事要和各位读者分享。 The market, however, has swollen everyone’s face. Eight months have passed since the 20,000 dollars were close to Bitcoin, and BlockBeats has three stories to share with your readers. 我在17131美元的时候买入了比特币 I bought a bitcoin for $17131. Udayan,美国加州软件工程师,在17131美元的时候买入了比特币。 Udayan, a California software engineer, bought Bitcoin at $17131. 作为一名软件工程师,Udayan 了解到比特币这个东西是必然的。甚至在前阵子比特币价格的疯涨的时间里,你能听到「BTC」和「数字货币」的频次比「吃啥」、「喝啥」更多,这让Udayan 对买入比特币产生了兴趣,即便他并不知道它的真实价值是什么。 As a software engineer, Udayan understood that bitcoin was inevitable. Even in the pre-war period when bitcoin prices were soaring, you could hear more about BTC and digital money than about what to eat and what to drink, which made Udayan interested in buying bitcoin, even though he did not know its true value. 在朋友的诱惑下,他下手了。 He did it under the temptation of a friend. 12月17日,他在17131美元的时候买入,「买入的前几天,我的资产以一种近乎疯狂的速度在增长,它远比你投资一些理财产品更直观、也更让人心动」。 On December 17, he bought $17131: "A few days before the purchase, my assets grew at an almost insane rate, far more intuitive and moving than you invested in some property." 在去年12月份的那段时间里,比特币的价格几乎每天都在增长1000美元。疯狂让人失去理性,甚至有人贷款买比特币,一系列悲剧也就此发生。 In December of last year, the price of Bitcoin increased by almost $1,000 a day. Madness makes people irrational, even with loans to buy bitcoin, and a series of tragedies have occurred. 比特币持续上涨,12月18日,市场交易价格达到了历史最高值:19299美元。随后就像我们看到的一样,比特币价格开始下滑,2天后跌到了18493美元。 Bitcoin continued to rise, and on December 18, market transaction prices reached an all-time high of $19299. Then, as we saw, bitcoin prices began to fall, falling to $18493 two days later. Udayam 打算将比特币出售以换取部分利润,但是他的比特币信徒朋友告诉他,坚持拿住,下个月就能到3万美元,没准还能到5万美元。 Udayam intended to sell Bitcoin in exchange for a portion of the profit, but his friend of the Bitcoin followers told him to hold onto it and reach $30,000 next month, perhaps $50,000. 与此同时,区块链媒体也在不断地炒作「拿住,年底30万美元」、「比特币还能再涨500%」「专家预测能涨到40万美元」。在朋友的劝告和媒体的鼓吹下,Udayam 选择了继续持有。 At the same time, the block chain media has been squeezing: "Take it, $300,000 at the end of the year" and "A further 500% of Bitcoin" "Experts predict an increase of $400,000." Udayam has chosen to continue holding it, thanks to the advice of friends and the media. 然而,3天之后,比特币并没有扭转颓势,比特币如瀑布一般,暴跌到14701美元,Udayam 留下「我很难受」的动态后便从未出现过。 Three days later, however, Bitcoin did not turn the tide, falling like a waterfall to $147.01, and Udayam left the "I can't stand" dynamic that never happened. 12月23日,几天前还在报道「暴涨数倍」「数倍涨幅可期」的媒体开始报道「一天跌去1/3市值」…… On December 23, a few days ago, the media, which was also reporting the "Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step-Step", began to report "one third of the market value of a day." 在 Udayam 记录自己炒比特币的帖子里,有大量的投资者和他一样,在高位参与投资,甚至有人在19250美元的时候买入。也有人尝试在13000美元的时候抄底,还有人想在10000美元的时候抄底,当然也有人想在9000美元的时候抄底…… In the Udayam post recording his own bid for bitcoin, there were a lot of investors, like him, who were investing in high places, and even bought for $19250. There were also attempts to copy $13,000, others wanted to write it down at $10,000, and of course others wanted to write it down at $9,000. 有人在他的炒币帖子里留言,我曾在20岁时以十美元的价格买过比特币,并亲眼看到它下降到2美元,好在自己买不多,所以自己并不在乎。我对上面,因为陷入炒作,而为之情绪波动的人感到悲伤,因为无论比特币价格或涨或跌,对于你们情绪波动很大,所以从投资角度而言这无疑是一种愚蠢的投资方式。 I had a message in his post that I had bought a bitcoin at the age of 20 at a $10 price, and saw it drop to $2, so I didn't care for myself. I was sad about the people who were on top because they were caught up in it, because whether the price of the bitcoin or the fall was very volatile for you, and that was undoubtedly a stupid way of investing. 接盘侠是愚蠢的投资者吗? Is thebasket a stupid investor? 比特币的暴涨害死了我哥哥 My brother was killed by the surge in bitcoin. Bonerz 的哥哥,比特币早期投资者,在100美元左右买入比特币。 Bonerz's brother, an early bitcoin investor, bought bitcoin for about $100. 第一个在媒体上被曝光因比特币而自杀的人,不是因为比特币的暴跌,而是比特币的暴涨。 The first person to be exposed to suicide in the media as a result of Bitcoin, not because of the fall in bitcoin, but because of the surge in bitcoin. 2017年12月,Reddit 一个《比特币杀死了我哥哥》的帖子引起了轰动。在悼文中,作者 Bonerz 提到自己的哥哥在2012年的时候购入15000枚比特币,在2012年10-11月间,他看到哥哥的钱包里有?6000多个比特币。 In December 2017, Reddit's post, "bitcoin killed my brother." In his eulogy, the author, Bonerz, mentioned that his brother had purchased 15,000 bitcoins in 2012 and that between October and November 2012, he saw more than 6,000 bitcoins in his brother's wallet. 在那段时间里,哥哥不断地在家族里炫耀自己是如何通过比特币成为百万富翁的,也成了整个家族里最备受待见的暴发户。 During that time, the brother continued to brag in the family about how he had become a millionaire through Bitcoin and became the most popular and popular populist in the whole family. 但是到了2013年的时候,哥哥告诉 Bonerz 自己的大部分比特币因为黑客攻击丢了(媒体猜测为门头沟事件)。在2013年底之前,Bonerz 的哥哥将剩余的比特币全部出售套现,那时一枚比特币价格才200美元。 By 2013, however, his brother told Bonnerz that most of his bitcoin had been lost as a result of hacking (the media speculated that it was a door-to-door gull). By the end of 2013, Bonerz’s brother sold all the remaining bitcoins, a bitcoin price of $200. 悲剧由此种下。2013年底,比特币的价格开始大涨,此后的最低值也比他卖出的时候高。痛失良机,他的兄弟开始患上了严重的抑郁症。 At the end of 2013, the price of Bitcoin began to rise sharply, and the lowest value thereafter was higher than when he sold it. Losing the opportunity, his brother began to suffer from severe depression. 随后的数年里,Bonerz 每次跟哥哥通电话的时候,哥哥总是像疯了一样地数落自己、怪自己卖的太早了、错过了再次致富的机会。 For the years that followed, when Bonnerz talked to his brother on the phone, he always counted himself as crazy, blamed himself for selling too early, missed his chance to be rich again. 2017年11月底比特币突破1万美元,Bonerz 的哥哥再也联系不上了。数周之后,家人被警方通知去认领遗体。Bonerz 的哥哥自杀了,年仅29岁。 At the end of November 2017, Bitcoin broke 10,000 dollars, and Bonerz’s brother was no longer able to contact him. A few weeks later, the family was informed by the police to identify the body. Bonerz’s brother committed suicide, a 29-year-old. 当然,这并非个案。在2018年2月2日,凤凰网报道:一名大学生投资2000多万元韩元购买虚拟货币后,一度暴涨到2 亿多韩元。但在去年年底,他所投资的虚拟货币暴跌,不仅获利归零,连本金也全赔了进去。之后,这个男生得了严重的忧郁症,并在近期被发现自杀。 On February 2, 2018, Phoenix Network reported that after investing more than 20 million won in virtual currency, a university student jumped to more than 200 million won. But at the end of last year, his investment in virtual currency collapsed, making not only zero gains, but even the principal money. Bonerz 在悼文中这么说, In his eulogy, Bonnerz says, 「如果我错过赚5000 万美元的机会,我也会自杀的。我不敢想象哥哥过去几年经历了什么,但他再也过不上自己想要的美好且有钱得日子了。比特币彻底摧毁了他的心智,只要和他提任何一点和钱、投资沾边的东西,他就会发疯,或者痛哭。」 "If I miss the opportunity to make $50 million, I will also commit suicide. I can't imagine what my brother has been through in the last few years, but he will never be able to live the good and rich life he wants. Bitcoin has completely destroyed his mind, and he will go mad or cry if he brings any of the things that is tied to money and investment." 我瞒着家人借了消费贷 I borrowed consumer loans from my family. 然而,区块律动 BlockBeats 的【韭菜花】专栏中还有一篇文章素材没有发表出来,当时我们认为这篇文章的内容太短且内容与其他投稿相似就没有发表出来,但现在可以了。
