沉寂了数周的比特币又开始吸引投资者的目光了。
Bitcoin, which has been silent for weeks, is starting to attract investors again.
?
CoinMarketCap数据显示，美东时间17日下午2点左右，比特币价格突然直线蹿升，短线接连上破6800美元、6900美元、7000美元、7100美元、7200美元以及7300美元六大关口。
CoinMarketCap data show that, at about 2 p.m. east-east American time, Bitcoin prices suddenly surged, with short-line links of $6,800, $6,900, $7,000, $7,100, $7,200 and $7,300 at the six main points.
?
在不到一小时的时间内，比特币上涨约600美元，其市值也增加了约90亿美元。
In less than one hour, Bitcoin increased by approximately $600 and its market value increased by about $9 billion.
?
这一涨势一直持续到现在，比特币当日突破7500美元大关，攀升至6月9日以来的最高点。不过，截至美东时间18日下午6点，比特币收回部分涨幅，价格报7338美元。
This upturn continued until now, when Bitcoin crossed the $7,500 mark, reaching its highest point since 9 June. However, as of 18 p.m. East American time, Bitcoin recovered a partial upturn at a price of $7338.
?
事实上，比特币曾经创下在48小时内上涨逾4000美元的纪录。虽然此次涨幅不算太大，但足以再次触动投资者的神经。
In fact, Bitcoin had a record increase of over $4,000 in 48 hours. Although the increase was not too large, it was enough to touch investors again.
?
谁推动了价格上涨？
Who's driving the price hike?

投资学百年来有一句至理名言：行情总在绝望中诞生，在半信半疑中成长，在憧憬中成熟，在乐观中幻灭。
In 100 years of investment, there is a saying of wisdom: it is always born in despair, growing in half faith, mature in vision and disillusioned in optimism.
?
从去年年底突破2万美元以来，比特币已经贬值了不少，截至今年6月底，比特币价格已缩水近60%。尽管如此，比特币似乎远未到幻灭的时刻。
Bitcoin has been depreciated considerably since the break of $20,000 at the end of last year, and by the end of June the price of bitcoin had shrunk by nearly 60%. Nevertheless, 加密货币“目前不会对全球金融稳定构成实质性风险”。
In addition, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) cleared the door for encrypted currencies. The agency announced on 16 that it had submitted a report to G-20 finance ministers and central bank governors, noting that, at the current stage, 主流金融服务行业押注比特币对其价格上涨起到了推动作用。
In addition to information from regulators, analysts argue that the bet on bitcoin in the mainstream financial services industry contributed to the increase in prices .

据美国财经媒体CNBC报道，规模达6万亿美元的资产管理巨头贝莱德（BlackRock）本周早些时候证实，该公司已经成立了一个工作小组，负责加密货币市场和区块链技术的可行性研究，并将其作为进入新兴加密领域计划的一部分。
According to the United States financial media CNBC, an asset-management giant of $6 trillion, Black Rock, confirmed earlier this week that the company had established a working group to conduct a feasibility study on crypto-money markets and block chain technology as part of its plans to enter the emerging area of encryption.
?
不过，贝莱德首席执行官Larry Fink后来在接受彭博电视采访时淡化了外界的猜测。
However, Larry Fink, Chief Executive Officer of Beled, later diluted outside speculation in an interview with Bloomberg TV.
?
另外，来自国际投行高盛的人事变动也不容忽视。17日，高盛集团对外公布，63岁的劳尔德·贝兰克梵（Lloyd C. Blankfein）将辞去高盛董事长和首席执行官的职务，董事会已经任命苏德巍（David M. Solomon）接替这两个职位。
On 17th, the Goldman Sachs announced that 63-year-old Lloyd C. Blancfein would resign from his post as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and that the Board of Directors had appointed David M. Solomon to replace them.
?
据了解，苏德巍曾表示高盛正在进一步增加比特币和加密货币的服务。
It was understood that Sudeten had indicated that Goldman Sachs was further increasing the services of Bitcoin and encrypted currency.
?
eToro市场分析师Matthew Newton表示:“本周我们看到了一系列利好消息，包括金融稳定委员会（FSB）和贝莱德等大型投资者的认可。在经历了几周的低迷之后，像这样的消息对加密货币作为一种长期有效的资产类别提供了合法性。”
“We have seen a series of good news this week, including the endorsement of large investors, such as the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and Belede. After weeks of depression, such news provides legitimacy to encrypt money as a long-term asset class.”
?
不过，也有加密货币专家说，价格的上涨更多地与技术水平有关，而不是其他任何催化剂。
However, there are also cryptographic money experts who say that the price increase of than to any other catalyst.
?
Newton Advisors总裁兼创始人Mark Newton表示，最近几天的技术模式表明，比特币可能会继续涨至8000美元，“没有任何真正的新闻有助于解释个中原因”。
According to Mark Newton, President and founder of Newton Advisors, the technology model of the last few days suggests that Bitcoin may continue to rise to $8,000, “no real news will help explain why”.
?
比特币还会涨吗？
Will the bitcoin still rise?
?
尽管一些利好消息传来，但是坏消息也接踵而至。
Despite some good news, the bad news followed.
?
据彭博社报道，Coinbase发言人Rachael Horwitz在一封电子邮件中澄清没有收到美国监管机构的许可。美国证券交易委员会的一位发言人也表示，该机构没有给予总部位于旧金山的Coinbase明确的批准。
According to Bloomberg, Coinbase spokesman Rachael Horwitz, in an e-mail, clarified that he had not received permission from the United States regulatory agency. A spokesman for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission also said that the agency had not given explicit approval to Coinbase, based in San Francisco.
?
此外，美联储主席鲍威尔周三也给比特币等加密货币浇了一盆冷水。
In addition, Fed Chairman Powell poured cold water on Wednesday on encrypted currency such as Bitcoin.
?
鲍威尔表示，他一直在强调美联储对数字货币没有监管权力，并认为数字货币没有内生价值，也没有“货币”的典型特征，因此不是货币。
Powell stated that .
?
鲍威尔称，数字货币可能用于洗钱、避税或恐怖主义融资等非法用途，也对投资者构成风险。数字货币一般不作为支付手段，高波动性也谈不上价值储藏职能。
Powell claims that digital money may be used for illegal purposes, such as money-laundering, tax avoidance or terrorist financing, and that it also poses risks to investors. Digital money is generally not used as a means of payment, nor is it highly volatile for value-storage functions.
?
全球最大对冲基金之一Citadel的创始人兼CEO Kenneth Griffin 也表达了对比特币的反感。
The founder and CEO Kenneth Griffin of Citadel, one of the largest hedge funds in the world, also expressed the revulsion of Bitcoin.
?
Kenneth Griffin 说：“我手下没有一个基金经理建议要买入加密货币，没有一个人。在做市商业务中，我们也讨论过是否为数字货币提供做市服务。但我个人很难为一个自己不相信的产品提供流动性。”
Kenneth Griffin said, "I don't have a fund manager who proposes to buy an encrypted currency, and no one. In the market business, we also discussed whether to provide a market service for digital money. But it's hard for me personally to provide liquidity for a product that I don't believe in."
?
因此，Kenneth Griffin 不建议年轻人去投资比特币。
So, Kenneth Griffin does not recommend young people to invest in bitcoin.
?
不过，亿万富翁投资者Marc Lasry却看好比特币。Lasry周三对CNBC表示，随着比特币变得越来越容易交易，它的价格可能高达4万美元。Lasry补充称，比特币投资者在三至五年内可以赚5到10倍的价钱。
However, Bill Lasry, a billionaire investor, looks at bitcoin. Lasry says to CNBC on Wednesday that, as bitcoin becomes easier to trade, its price may be as high as $40,000. Lasry adds that Bitcoin investors can earn 5 to 10 times in three to five years.
?
数字货币集团的Barry Silbert对比特币的投资也持乐观态度。他说：“我认为我们可能已经触底了。上周我真的把一些钱投进了比特币。作为一个资产类别，它将继续存在。”
Barry Silbert of the Digital Currency Group is also optimistic about the investment in bitcoin. He says, "I think we may have hit bottom. I did put some money in bitcoin last week. As an asset class, it will continue."
?
除了一些投资者为比特币站台，美联储圣路易斯分行也对其开放了绿色通道。
In addition to the Bitcoin platform for some investors, the Federal Reserve's St. Louis branch has opened green corridors to it.
?
该行不久前发布的一份报告称，比特币与现金有许多相似之处，与许多议员的声明形成鲜明对比的是，该行表示“欢迎匿名加密货币”。
A recent report issued by the Bank stated that Bitcoin had many similarities with cash, in stark contrast to statements made by many parliamentarians that it “welcomes anonymous encrypted currency”.
?
值得一提的是，旧金山联邦储备银行曾发布一份报告，称从理论上推断，比特币的内在价值为1800美元，这一数字与一比特币的开采成本大致相同。
It is worth mentioning that the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco issued a report stating that the intrinsic value of Bitcoin was theoretically assumed to be US$ 1,800, which is roughly the same as the cost of mining a bitcoin.
?
目前，比特币的价格接近7500美元，虽然并不十分乐观，但这一评估仍比鲍威尔宣称的比特币没有内在价值要积极得多。
At present, the price of Bitcoin is close to $7,500 and, while not very optimistic, this assessment is much more positive than Powell's assertion that bitcoin has no intrinsic value.
