加密貨幣市場暴跌：比利馬庫斯的見解

Billy Markus, co-founder of Dogecoin and known as Sibetoshi Nakamoto, provides his perspective on the recent cryptocurrency market decline and its impact on investors.

狗狗幣聯合創始人比利馬庫斯（Sibetoshi Nakamoto）發表了他對近期加密貨幣市場下滑及其對投資者影響的看法。

Market Plunge Triggered by Bitcoin Fall

比特幣下跌引發市場暴跌

Since the start of October, the cryptocurrency market has witnessed a sharp decline due to a significant drop in Bitcoin's price. Bitcoin fell almost 9%, from a peak of $66,000 on September 29 to below $60,000 on October 3.

10月初以來，由於比特幣價格大幅下跌，加密貨幣市場大幅下跌。比特幣下跌近 9%，從 9 月 29 日的峰值 66,000 美元跌至 10 月 3 日的 60,000 美元以下。

Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has recovered slightly with a 2.26% gain, only to face an immediate loss again. At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $61,265.

過去 24 小時，比特幣小幅回升，漲幅為 2.26%，但隨即再次面臨下跌。截至撰寫本文時，BTC 交易價格為 61,265 美元。

Geopolitical developments in the Middle East have contributed to this volatility, prompting investors to seek refuge in traditional safe-haven assets like gold.

中東地緣政治的發展加劇了這種波動，促使投資者尋求黃金等傳統避險資產的庇護。

Shibetoshi Nakamoto's Analogy

中本標敏的類比

Markus, a respected figure in the crypto community, offers a humorous analogy for the market's current trajectory.

馬庫斯是加密貨幣界受人尊敬的人物，他對市場當前的軌跡進行了幽默的類比。

"Crypto is like a really hot girl who gives you attention for a bit and you gaslight yourself thinking just maybe you might have a chance. But then she drops you and starts dating a rich guy."

“加密貨幣就像一個非常性感的女孩，她給了你一點關注，然後你給自己加油，想著也許你可能有機會。但後來她拋棄了你，開始和一個有錢人約會。”

Markus' Epic Crypto Sale

馬庫斯的史詩級加密貨幣銷售

Earlier this week, Markus revealed that he had sold almost all of his cryptocurrency holdings, including Bitcoin, Litecoin (LTC), and Dogecoin (DOGE), to purchase a Honda Civic. In 2015, Markus sold 50 BTC, 440 LTC, and 6 million DOGE, which would be worth nearly $4 million today.

本週早些時候，馬庫斯透露，他已經出售了幾乎所有持有的加密貨幣，包括比特幣、萊特幣(LTC) 和狗狗幣(DOGE)，以購買一輛本田思域(Honda Civic) 。 2015 年，Markus 出售了 50 個 BTC、440 個 LTC 和 600 萬個 DOGE，今天價值近 400 萬美元。

Markus currently holds only 0.009 BTC and a small amount of Dogecoin. He has previously stated that he sold some of his Ethereum (ETH) at a loss to cover tax payments.

Markus 目前僅持有 0.009 BTC 和少量狗狗幣。他先前曾表示，他虧本出售了部分以太幣（ETH）以支付稅款。
