Market Plunge Triggered by Bitcoin Fall

比特币下跌引发市场暴跌

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月初以来，由于比特币价格大幅下跌，加密货币市场大幅下跌。比特币下跌近 9%，从 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.

过去 24 小时，比特币小幅回升，涨幅为 2.26%，但随即再次面临下跌。截至撰写本文时，BTC 交易价格为 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.

中东地缘政治的发展加剧了这种波动，促使投资者寻求黄金等传统避险资产的庇护。

Shibetoshi Nakamoto's Analogy

中本标敏的类比

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

马库斯是加密货币界受人尊敬的人物，他对市场当前的轨迹进行了幽默的类比。

"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."

“加密货币就像一个非常性感的女孩，她给了你一点关注，然后你给自己加油，想着也许你可能有机会。但后来她抛弃了你，开始和一个有钱人约会。”

Markus' Epic Crypto Sale

马库斯的史诗级加密货币销售

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.

本周早些时候，马库斯透露，他已经出售了几乎所有持有的加密货币，包括比特币、莱特币 (LTC) 和狗狗币 (DOGE)，以购买一辆本田思域 (Honda Civic)。 2015 年，Markus 出售了 50 个 BTC、440 个 LTC 和 600 万个 DOGE，今天价值近 400 万美元。

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 目前仅持有 0.009 BTC 和少量狗狗币。他此前曾表示，他亏本出售了部分以太坊（ETH）以支付税款。
