Chamath Palihapitiya Regrets This '$3 Or $4 Billion' Crypto Mistake As Bitcoin Rises Above $90,000: 'Would Have Made...A Lot More Money'
In the wake of Bitcoin's record-breaking surge following President-elect Donald Trump's victory, prominent venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya has voiced regret over his decision to sell his Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) holdings.
在当选总统唐纳德·特朗普获胜后比特币创纪录的飙升之后,著名的风险投资家查马斯·帕利哈皮蒂亚对他决定出售其持有的比特币(加密货币:BTC)表示遗憾。
What Happened: Palihapitiya, who once possessed a substantial amount of Bitcoin in his funds, expressed his remorse over the sale on the All In Podcast on Monday. "I actually think about all the Bitcoin I sold...that's a, I don't know, a three or four billion dollar mistake in growing now," he stated.
发生了什么:曾经在资金中拥有大量比特币的帕利哈皮蒂亚周一在All In Podcast上对此次出售表示悔恨。他说:“实际上,我想的是我卖出的所有比特币... 我不知道,这是现在增长的三四十亿美元的错误。”
At the time, Palihapitiya's partners opted to distribute Bitcoin, a decision that was profitable but, in retrospect, not as profitable as retaining the cryptocurrency. "Obviously I shouldn't have sold it. Would have made them a lot more money," Palihapitiya admitted.
当时,Palihapitiya的合作伙伴选择分发比特币,这一决定是有利可图的,但回想起来,不如保留加密货币那么有利可图。“显然我不应该把它卖掉。本来可以给他们赚更多的钱,” 帕利哈皮蒂亚承认。
Why It Matters: Bitcoin has made history by surpassing the $90,000 mark, propelled by Trump's pro-cryptocurrency stance and the prospect of a crypto-friendly Congress. The value of Bitcoin has risen by 90% in 2024, spurred by robust demand for dedicated U.S. exchange-traded funds and interest-rate reductions by the Federal Reserve.
为何重要:在特朗普支持加密货币的立场和对加密货币友好的国会的前景的推动下,比特币突破了90,000美元大关,创造了历史。受对美国专用交易所交易基金的强劲需求以及美联储降息的刺激,比特币的价值在2024年上涨了90%。
Bitcoin's surge, which reached new heights following the US election, has yielded returns that outstrip those from other investments such as stocks and gold.
在美国大选之后,比特币的飙升达到了新的高度,其回报超过了股票和黄金等其他投资的回报。
In a previous episode of the All-In podcast, Palihapitiya discussed a significant shift in how Gen Z approaches financial independence. He noted that many young individuals no longer rely solely on their primary jobs to achieve financial freedom; instead, they engage in side activities such as trading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and options on platforms like Robinhood and Coinbase.
在前一集的All-In播客中,Palihapitiya讨论了Z世代实现财务独立的方式的重大转变。他指出,许多年轻人不再仅仅依靠自己的主要工作来实现财务自由;相反,他们从事附带活动,例如交易比特币等加密货币以及在Robinhood和Coinbase等平台上交易期权。
Palihapitiya's regret over selling his Bitcoin holdings comes at a time when the cryptocurrency market is experiencing significant growth. Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of Skybridge Capital, anticipates a potential shift towards a less politicized regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies under the upcoming U.S. administration, which could further boost Bitcoin's value.
帕利哈皮蒂亚对出售其持有的比特币感到遗憾,当时加密货币市场正在经历显著增长。Skybridge Capital的创始人安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇预计,在即将上任的美国政府领导下,加密货币的监管环境可能会向政治化程度较低的转变,这可能会进一步提振比特币的价值。
