比特币逼近历史新高

比特币牛市又回来了！

哪里有失败？买家令有关比特币泡沫的最新警告烟消云散，在周一将比特币价格推至4,800美元以上，为这款数字货币在10月份的牛市行情创下了一个高潮。

比特币价格涨至4,820美元，接近八月末创下的历史记录，当时比特币价格接近5,000美元。今年9月，中国打压数字货币，导致比特币价格大幅下跌。

下面是上周比特币上涨行情的走势图，摘自Coindesk的行业出版物：

It's ba-ack.

What wipeout? Buyers blew off fresh warnings about a bitcoin bubble and sent prices above $4,800 on Monday, capping a bullish October run for the digital currency.

Prices reached as high as $4,820, which is near the record territory of late August when bitcoin brushed close to $5,000. The currency crashed dramatically in September following a crackdown on digital currency by China.

Here’s a longer a view that shows bitcoin’s extraordinary run-up this summer, its crash to near $3,000, and its subsequent recovery:

对于最近的价格暴涨并没有一个显而易见的解释。潜在因素包括上周有传闻称高盛计划交易比特币，另外越来越多的投资者相信，比特币在11月份的“分叉”形成新版比特币，并不会带来破坏性影响。正如Twitter上一条有趣的推文所说的那样：

如你们所愿，现在，我们重新恢复了正常上涨。#bitcoin

另外，有了解比特币价格波动内情的人士告诉《财富》杂志，中国最近对比特币的打压并没有最初表现的那么严厉。

但并非所有人都对比特币的未来感到乐观。一名哈佛经济学家在周一预测，比特币价格将会“崩溃”，另外宏达理财（TD Ameritrade）的分析师对于比特币价格暴跌对个别股票的“附带损害”发出了警告。（财富中文网）

There is no obvious single explanation for the latest price surge. Possible factors include last week’s rumors that Goldman Sachs plans to trade bitcoin as well as growing confidence that a possible “fork” of the currency in November, which would create a new version of bitcoin, won’t prove disruptive. As one wag on Twitter put it:

We now return you to your regularly scheduled rally. #bitcoin

Meanwhile, a source familiar with bitcoin price movements, told Fortune that China’s recent crackdown is not as severe as it first appeared.

In any case, not everyone is optimistic about bitcoin’s future. A Harvard economist predicted on Monday that the price of bitcoin will “collapse,” while analysts at TD Ameritrade warned of “collateral damage” to certain stocks if bitcoin prices plunge.
