Billy Markus co-founded the iconic meme-inspired cryptocurrency Dogecoin in collaboration with Jackson Palmer in 2013. The idea behind DOGE when creating it was the meme dog Kabosu and a parody on the leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Now, Jackson can be seldom seen posting on the Twitter/X platform but Markus is its frequent user, acknowledged to be an influencer by the community.

2013 年，比利馬庫斯(Billy Markus) 與傑克遜帕爾默(Jackson Palmer) 合作共同創立了標誌性的受模因啟發的加密貨幣狗狗幣。 Kabosu 和對領先加密貨幣比特幣的模仿。現在，很少看到傑克遜在 Twitter/X 平台上發帖，但馬庫斯是該平台的常客，被社區公認為影響者。

Known for his love for memes, sarcasm and irony, Markus has published a tweet about the approaching Bitcoin halving event along with a jesting BTC price prediction. However, this take seems to be mirroring fears of many within the Bitcoin community.

馬庫斯以喜愛表情包、諷刺和反諷而聞名，他發布了一條關於即將到來的比特幣減半事件的推文，並做出了一個有趣的 BTC 價格預測。然而，這種看法似乎反映了比特幣社群內許多人的擔憂。

Markus's "Bitcoin price prediction"

馬庫斯的“比特幣價格預測”

Billy Markus, known on Twitter/X under the alias “Shibetoshi Nakamoto” (a pseudonym that mocks the pseudonym of the mysterious Bitcoin creator), in his post jestingly asked if the Bitcoin halving mean that “the price will get cut in half.”

比利·馬庫斯(Billy Markus) 在Twitter/X 上化名“Shibetoshi Nakamoto”（這個筆名嘲笑神秘的比特幣創造者的筆名），他在帖子中開玩笑地問道，比特幣減半是否意味著「價格將減半」。

比特幣減半代表價格會減半嗎

The official Kraken exchange account responded that a halving does not work this way. To that, Markus replied “what if it does, though.” There is a certain dark irony to be seen in his tweet and response, since many cryptocurrency holders currently are afraid that Bitcoin price will see a massive dump after the event instead of going up.

Kraken交易所官方帳號回應稱，減半並不是這樣的。對此，馬庫斯回答說：“如果真的發生了怎麼辦？”從他的推文和回應中可以看出某種黑色諷刺，因為許多加密貨幣持有者目前擔心比特幣價格在事件發生後會大幅下跌而不是上漲。

Bitcoin maximalist Samson Mow, chief of the Jan3 company, has also addressed these fears in his recent tweet. He advised the community to enjoy “$0.06 million Bitcoin” while they can. He did not make any price predictions but in his earlier tweets Mow constantly predicted Bitcoin reaching the $1 million price by printing and “Omega candle.” He added a phrase loved and frequently used by many Bitcoiners – “we are still early.”

Jan3 公司執行長、比特幣極端主義者 Samson Mow 在最近的推文中也談到了這些擔憂。他建議社群盡可能享受「60 萬美元的比特幣」。他沒有做出任何價格預測，但在他之前的推文中，Mow 不斷預測比特幣透過印刷和「歐米茄蠟燭」將達到 100 萬美元的價格。他補充了一句許多比特幣愛好者喜愛並經常使用的短語——“我們還處於早期階段。”

We are so early that there are people that are fearful about what happens after the halving. Enjoy $0.06M #Bitcoin while you can.

我們還太早，以至於有人擔心減半後會發生什麼事。盡你所能，享受 060 萬美元#Bitcoin。

Bitcoin halving one day away

比特幣減半還有一天

The much-anticipated Bitcoin halving has almost arrived and the community is looking forward to the BTC price reaction to it. The halving is about block rewards getting cut in half for miners. During the approaching fourth halvening, each new block will earn them 3.125 BTC instead of 6.25 BTC.

萬眾期待的比特幣減半即將到來，社群期待比特幣價格對此的反應。減半意味著礦工的區塊獎勵減半。在即將到來的第四次減半期間，每個新區塊將為他們賺取 3.125 BTC，而不是 6.25 BTC。

Halvenings ensure that the flagship cryptocurrency remains deflationary and its supply injected into the market is reducing. The aforementioned influencer Samson Mow frequently tweets that the coming halving will create a Bitcoin supply shock, while spot BTC ETFs have been contributing to the emergence of the demand shock.

減半確保旗艦加密貨幣保持通縮狀態，注入市場的供應量正在減少。上述影響者 Samson Mow 經常發推文稱，即將到來的減半將造成比特幣供應衝擊，而現貨 BTC ETF 一直在促成需求衝擊的出現。
