参考消息网4月28日报道 英国《金融时报》网站4月16日发表题为《“比特币基地”上市勾起人们对互联网突破的回忆》的报道称，“比特币基地”上市为那些在4月14日开盘时出售股票的股东至少筹集了34亿美元资金，但这并不能保证“比特币基地”或加密货币能拥有稳定的未来。全文摘编如下：
According to a report published on April 16 by the United Kingdom Financial Times website,
对加密货币爱好者来说，本周“比特币基地”在美国股票市场重磅上市就像是四分之一个世纪前网景通信公司上市的现代版本。网景上市让互联网公司一跃成为金融业的主要服务对象之一。
For encrypt money fans, this week’s “bitcoin base” has been listed on the United States stock market as a modern version of the one-quarter-century-old Netscape Communications Company’s listing. The Internet viewing has made Internet companies one of the main clients of the financial sector.
网景这家网络浏览器公司在首次公开募股时只是硅谷的一家初创企业，微软公司将IE浏览器与旗下销量最好的个人电脑软件绑定是很久之后的事了。
Netscape, a web browser company, was only a start-up firm in Silicon Valley at the time of the first public fund-raising, and Microsoft bound the IE browser to the best personal computer software sold under the flag a long time ago.
网景在1995年上市让一些基金经理挠头：如何给这家公司估值？它真能改变整个市场吗？
Netscape was listed in 1995 and some fund managers scratched their heads: How can this company be valued? Can it really change the whole market?
现在华尔街发出了同样的疑问。本月14日和15日，超过1.2亿股“比特币基地”股票（价值430亿美元）转手，将“比特币基地”的估值推升至650亿美元，略低于纽约证券交易所母公司洲际交易所的估值。
Wall Street now raises the same question. On 14 and 15 of this month, more than 120 million “bitcoin” shares (valued at $43 billion) were transferred, pushing the valuation of the “bitcoin” to $65 billion, slightly lower than that of the New York Stock Exchange’s parent intercontinental exchange.
“比特币基地”管理着5600万散户的数字资产，运营着美国最大的数字货币交易所。这家公司进入公共市场是说明比特币和其他数字资产从边缘走向舞台中央的诸多例子中最新的一个。
The Bitcoin base manages 56 million digital assets and operates the largest digital currency exchange in the United States. The company’s access to the public market is one of the most recent examples of Bitcoin and other digital assets moving from the periphery to the center of the stage.
美国富达数字资产公司总裁汤姆·杰索普说，网景首次公开募股“让所有人发问：‘什么是互联网？什么是网络？’‘比特币基地’上市很可能同样影响巨大”。
Tom & Middot, Managing Director of Fuda Digital Assets, USA; Jessup said that the first public fund-raiser of the Netscape was “to let everyone ask: `What is the Internet? What is the Internet?' The listing of the `bitcoin base' is likely to be equally powerful”.
一些资产管理机构已经向美国证券交易委员会提交了创立比特币交易所交易基金（ETF）的计划。包括特斯拉和支付企业斯奎尔公司在内的少数公司已经购买比特币并将其列入资产负债表。本周，据一位消息人士透露，对冲基金布雷文-霍华德资产管理公司决定将主要基金的1.5%投入加密货币。
A few companies, including Tesla and Squire.
在理财机构热情拥抱比特币市场之际，为“比特币基地”上市提供咨询服务的高盛公司正在重启加密货币衍生品交易平台。
At a time when financial institutions enthusiastically embrace the Bitcoin market, Goldman Sachs, which provides advisory services for the listing of the “bitcoin base”, is relaunching an encrypted money derivatives trading platform.
持怀疑态度的人指出，在支付和金融系统的其他领域，加密货币尚未获得广泛认可。
skeptics pointed out that in other areas of the payment and financial systems, cryptographic currencies had not been widely recognized.
美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔14日称加密货币是“投机工具”，这反映出在世界各地决策者中仍流行这种观点。
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome & Middot; Powell's 14-day call of crypto-currency as a “speculation tool” reflects this view, which is still prevalent among policymakers around the world.
加密货币也招致检察官和监管者的不满。他们对洗钱活动和加密货币高波动性给大众投资者带来的风险感到担忧，还对比特币“挖矿”活动造成的环境破坏提出警告。
They are concerned about the risks posed by money-laundering and the high volatility of encrypted currencies to public investors, and warn of environmental damage caused by the “mining” of Bitcoin.
2018年，国际清算银行总经理阿古斯丁·卡斯滕斯说：“简单地说，加密货币是泡沫、庞氏骗局和环境灾难。”
In 2018, Agustin & Middot, Managing Director of the Bank for International Settlements, said: “Simply put, encrypted currency is a bubble, a Ponzi scheme and an environmental disaster.”
尽管“比特币基地”上市标志着加密货币市场迎来关键时刻，但该公司不得不搁置一些更雄心勃勃的计划。代币是一种数字资产，原本可以成为“比特币基地”的一类股票，但代币的销售最终被取消，因为据参与相关过程的人士称，该公司难以找到足够多有代币交易牌照的经纪商。
Although the listing of the “bitcoin base” marked a critical moment for the crypto-currency market, the company had to set aside some of the more ambitious plans. A token was a digital asset that could have been a type of “bitcoin base” stock, but the sale of the coin was eventually cancelled because, according to those involved in the process, it was difficult for the company to find a sufficient number of brokers with token trading plates.
“比特币基地”上市为那些在14日开盘时出售股票的股东至少筹集了34亿美元资金，但这并不能保证“比特币基地”或加密货币能拥有稳定的未来。比特币价格上涨提升了投资者对这种数字货币的兴趣，价格下跌却可能损害比特币的前景。今年1月和2月零售交易大幅增加曾让华尔街和大众投资者着迷，如今这种涨势已经开始消退。
The “bitcoin base” was listed to raise at least $3.4 billion for shareholders who sold their shares when they opened on 14 days, but this does not guarantee a stable future for the “bitcoin base” or encrypted currency. The rise in the price of the bitcoin boosted investors’ interest in this digital currency, while falling prices could undermine the prospect of bitcoin.
比特币和其他加密货币此前似乎差点儿被主流接受，却遭遇重大挫折。2019年，衍生品交易平台芝加哥期权交易所叫停比特币期货交易，原因是投资者缺乏兴趣。
Bitcoin and other encrypted currencies, which seemed to have been almost accepted by the mainstream before, have suffered a major setback. In 2019, the derivatives trading platform, the Chicago Futures Exchange, called the Bitcoin futures trading off because investors lacked interest.
尽管如此，未来将有更多与加密货币有关的公司上市。巴克特公司是洲际交易所支持的加密钱包服务提供商，该公司即将借壳上市。“比特币基地”竞争对手之一克拉肯公司的首席执行官也公布了上市计划。据知情人士透露，按照克拉肯公司股份最近的交易价格计算，该公司估值在100亿至150亿美元之间。
In the future, however, more companies will be listed as related to encrypted money. Barkers, a secure wallet service provider supported by the Intercontinental Exchange, is about to be listed by shell. The Chief Executive Officer of Kraken, one of the “bitcoin” competitors, has also published a listing plan.
“比特币基地”已经显示出盈利能力。该公司今年一季度的收入约为18亿美元，净收入至少为7.3亿美元。这表明，与现有经纪商和交易所通过处理规模大得多的股票交易赚取的费用相比，“比特币基地”的业务可谓利润丰厚。
The Bitcoin base has shown profitability. The company’s revenues in the first quarter of this year were approximately $1.8 billion, with a net income of at least $730 million.
“比特币基地”提交给监管机构的文件包括季度和年度报告以及投资者陈述。现在，这些文件将让公众以前所未有的方式了解其业务。
The documents that the “bitcoin base” submits to the regulatory body include quarterly and annual reports, as well as investor statements. These documents will now provide the public with an unprecedented picture of its operations.
杰索普说：“传统机构现在无法忽视这一现象。这显然是一个有吸引力的收入来源。”
According to Jessop, “Traditional institutions cannot ignore this phenomenon now. This is clearly an attractive source of income.”
为银行提供交易咨询服务的美国瑞生律师事务所合伙人斯蒂芬·温克说，对于更广泛的加密货币生态系统而言，“比特币基地”上市“以一种新方式使这个行业合法化”。
Stephen & Middot, a partner in the United States law firm Reyson, who provides business advice to banks, stated that for the broader encoded monetary ecosystem, the “bitcoin base” was listed “in a new way to legalize the industry”.
他说：“人们知道证券交易委员会为公司上市设置了严格的程序，因而感到些许安慰，觉得他们从事的交易活动是可靠的。”
He said, “The fact that the Securities and Exchange Commission has put in place strict procedures for the listing of companies is a source of some comfort in the sense that the transactions they are engaged in are reliable”.
