Peter Brandt Warns of Crypto Risks: Embrace Caution or Face Devastating Losses

彼得·布蘭特 (Peter Brandt) 警告加密貨幣風險：謹慎行事，否則將面臨毀滅性損失

Veteran financial trader, Peter Brandt, has cautioned cryptocurrency enthusiasts, particularly those investing in meme coins, about the escalating perils associated with speculative crypto-assets.

資深金融交易員彼得‧布蘭特 (Peter Brandt) 警告加密貨幣愛好者，尤其是那些投資迷因幣的人，與投機性加密資產相關的風險不斷升級。

Brandt highlights the remarkable growth of Bitcoin from $0.07 in 2010 to its current value, but he emphasizes that such rapid increases are unlikely to continue in the future. He observes that young investors, including millennials and Gen Z, are banking on similar gains from "trash coins."

Brandt 強調了比特幣從 2010 年的 0.07 美元到目前價值的顯著增長，但他強調這種快速增長在未來不太可能持續下去。他觀察到，包括千禧世代和 Z 世代在內的年輕投資者都指望從「垃圾幣」中獲得類似的收益。

"I witness markets for 50 years, some will do great from here forward, but too many fools will get too leveraged, miss the top and get blown out in the next 50% correction in BTC, 90% correction in altcoins, 100% correction in memes." https://t.co/o33Jnq4IHz

「我見證了50 年的市場，從現在開始，有些人會表現出色，但太多的傻瓜會過度槓桿化，錯過頂部，並在接下來的BTC 50% 調整、山寨幣90% 調整、100%調整中被吹垮。 https://t.co/o33Jnq4IHz

While Brandt remains a Bitcoin holder as a store of value, he expresses concern about the speculative frenzy surrounding other cryptocurrencies. Meme coins and altcoins have attracted investors' interest, but Brandt stresses their lack of practical utility and extreme volatility. He warns that speculative trends often lead to unsustainable market bubbles that are prone to bursting, resulting in significant financial losses.

儘管布蘭特仍然持有比特幣作為價值儲存手段，但他對圍繞其他加密貨幣的投機狂潮表示擔憂。 Meme 幣和山寨幣吸引了投資者的興趣，但布蘭特強調它們缺乏實用性且波動性極大。他警告說，投機趨勢往往會導致不可持續的市場泡沫，這些泡沫很容易破裂，造成重大財務損失。

Risks Amplified by Debt-Driven Investments

債務驅動型投資放大了風險

Brandt warns that many investors are employing excessive debt to chase gains in speculative assets. He deems this approach reckless and perilous in the event of a market downturn.

布蘭特警告說，許多投資者正在利用過多的債務來追逐投機性資產的收益。他認為，在市場低迷的情況下，這種做法是魯莽且危險的。

He predicts that a market correction could cause Bitcoin to decline by 50%, altcoins by 90%, and meme coins to be completely wiped out due to their purely speculative nature.

他預測，市場調整可能會導致比特幣下跌 50%，山寨幣下跌 90%，而 Meme 幣則因其純粹的投機性質而被徹底消滅。

Despite his skepticism, Brandt does not dismiss the cryptocurrency space entirely. He discloses his holdings, which include Bitcoin and Solana (SOL), an Ethereum competitor often referred to as an 'ETH killer.' However, he remains conservative.

儘管持懷疑態度，布蘭特並沒有完全忽視加密貨幣領域。他披露了自己持有的資產，其中包括比特幣和 Solana (SOL)，後者是以太坊的競爭對手，通常被稱為「ETH 殺手」。然而，他仍然保持保守態度。

"Go ahead, call me a hater (I own Bitcoin & SOL)."

“來吧，稱我為仇恨者（我擁有比特幣和 SOL）。”

Brandt's primary investment focus has shifted to traditional markets for profit, humorously citing Kleenex stock as a potential target.

布蘭特的主要投資重點已轉向傳統市場以獲取利潤，並幽默地將 Kleenex 股票視為潛在目標。

Meme Coins: A Booming but Risky Sector

Meme 幣：一個蓬勃發展但風險很大的行業

A recent article by Cryptopolitan sheds light on the remarkable popularity of meme coins in 2024. The article reports that the total market capitalization of meme coins surged by 500% during the year, rising from approximately $20 billion in January to over $120 billion in December.

Cryptopolitan 最近發表的一篇文章揭示了Meme 幣在2024 年的驚人受歡迎程度。月份的超過1200 億美元。

Dogecoin, initially a playful joke, has evolved into a serious asset class backed by institutions and gaining mainstream acceptance. Newcomers like Andy Eth and Chill Guy have experienced extraordinary growth, exceeding 47,000%. Early investors in these projects have witnessed impressive gains.

狗狗幣最初是一個玩笑，現已發展成為一種由機構支持並獲得主流認可的嚴肅資產類別。像 Andy Eth 和 Chill Guy 這樣的新人經歷了非凡的成長，超過了 47,000%。這些項目的早期投資者已經見證了令人印象深刻的收益。

"The memecoin phenomenon extends beyond mere speculation, representing a new form of social coordination and value creation. Their success challenges traditional notions of intrinsic value and can be as powerful as traditional financial metrics."

“模因幣現象超越了單純的投機，代表了一種新的社會協調和價值創造形式。它們的成功挑戰了傳統的內在價值觀念，並且可以與傳統的金融指標一樣強大。”
