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·马库斯 (Billy Markus) 与杰克逊·帕尔默 (Jackson Palmer) 合作共同创立了标志性的受模因启发的加密货币狗狗币。创建 DOGE 背后的想法是模因狗 Kabosu 和对领先加密货币比特币的模仿。现在，很少能看到杰克逊在 Twitter/X 平台上发帖，但马库斯是该平台的常客，被社区公认为影响者。

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.

马库斯以喜爱表情包、讽刺和反讽而闻名，他发布了一条关于即将到来的比特币减半事件的推文，并做出了一个有趣的 BTC 价格预测。然而，这种看法似乎反映了比特币社区内许多人的担忧。

Markus's "Bitcoin price prediction"

马库斯的“比特币价格预测”

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·马库斯 (Billy Markus) 在 Twitter/X 上化名“Shibetoshi Nakamoto”（这个笔名嘲笑神秘的比特币创造者的笔名），他在帖子中开玩笑地问道，比特币减半是否意味着“价格将减半”。

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交易所官方账户回应称，减半并不是这样的。对此，马库斯回答说：“如果真的发生了怎么办？”从他的推文和回应中可以看出某种黑色讽刺，因为许多加密货币持有者目前担心比特币价格在事件发生后会出现大幅下跌而不是上涨。

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 公司首席执行官、比特币极端主义者 Samson Mow 在最近的推文中也谈到了这些担忧。他建议社区尽可能享受“60 万美元的比特币”。他没有做出任何价格预测，但在他之前的推文中，Mow 不断预测比特币通过印刷和“欧米茄蜡烛”将达到 100 万美元的价格。他补充了一句许多比特币爱好者喜爱并经常使用的短语——“我们还处于早期阶段。”

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

我们还太早，以至于有人担心减半后会发生什么。尽你所能，享受 060 万美元#Bitcoin。

Bitcoin halving one day away

比特币减半还有一天

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.

万众期待的比特币减半即将到来，社区期待比特币价格对此的反应。减半意味着矿工的区块奖励减半。在即将到来的第四次减半期间，每个新区块将为他们赚取 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.

减半确保旗舰加密货币保持通缩状态，并且注入市场的供应量正在减少。上述影响者 Samson Mow 经常发推文称，即将到来的减半将造成比特币供应冲击，而现货 BTC ETF 一直在促成需求冲击的出现。
