看外媒记词条——「CNN」比特币价格一年来首次突破1万美元

Bitcoin surges past $10,000 for the first time in a year

New York (CNN Business)Boosted by a weaker dollar and fresh enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies(加密货币再次受到追捧), bitcoin surged past $10,000 for the first time in a year.

The cryptocurrency(加密货币) is known for its volatile price swings(价格波动). Between late 2016 and 2018, investors watched as bitcoin soared from just a few hundred dollars to more than $20,000(特币价格从几百美元飙升至2万美元以上), before plunging back down.Then, late Friday, it reached the $10,000 mark for the first time in over a year, according to Coinbase.

As cryptocurrency becomes more mainstream(主流), more people may start to use it as an actual method of payment instead of treating it like a short-term trading opportunity for get rich quick investors(而不是把他当作一个短期交易机会来快速吸引富有投资者).

But if Libra catches on, that could actually hurt bitcoin instead of helping it. Consumers may prefer a so-called stable coin(所谓的稳定货币) like Libra instead of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that have been subject to dramatic swings in price(价格剧烈波动).

Some worry that the dramatic spike(飙升) in bitcoin, which has now surged nearly 170% from just under $3,700 at the end of 2018, will ultimately scare away long-term investors(吓跑长线投资者).

"The appeal of bitcoin is still too limited for the average investor(普通投资者). It's very risky and the volatility has been extreme," said Paul Markham, global equity portfolio manager at Newton Investment Management.
