Across cryptocurrency forums and blogs, the word of the month is “capitulation”. With bitcoin below $5,000 for the first time since October 2017, leading figures in the community have turned on each other in a spiral of finger pointing, while crypto-enthusiasts are at war with detractors who see this as a victory for fiat currencies. While this may not be the end for bitcoin and company, the crash underlines the question of whether it is worth trying to bring cryptocurrencies into the mainstream at all.
在各个加密货币论坛和博客上,本月关键词是“投降”。随着比特币自2017年10月以来首次跌破5000美元,业界领军人物开始越来越激烈地相互指责,而加密货币的爱好者则与批评者开战,后者认为这是法定货币的胜利。尽管比特币和比特币公司也许不会就此终结,但比特币的崩溃凸显一个问题:努力把加密货币引入主流到底是否值得。
