Bill Gates Says NFTs and Crypto Are '100%' Based on Greater Fool Theory
比尔盖茨称，非同质化代币和加密数字货币完全建立在“博傻理论”之上
By Alyssa Lukpat
Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates said he thinks cryptocurrencies and NFTs are “100%“ based on the greater fool theory.
微软联合创始人比尔·盖茨称，他认为加密数字货币和非同质化代币完全建立在“博傻理论”之上。
The 66-year-old billionaire was referring to the notion that overvalued assets will keep going up because there are enough people willing to pay high prices for them. He joked that “expensive digital images of monkeys“ would “improve the world immensely.“
这位66岁的亿万富翁指的，是被高估的资产会持续走高这一概念，因为有足够多的人愿意为它们支付高价。他开玩笑说，“那些昂贵的猴子形象的数码图片”将“极大地促进世界发展”。
Other wealthy investors and executives， including Warren Buffett and Jamie Dimon， have also expressed skepticism about cryptocurrencies. Mr. Buffett once called bitcoin “rat poison squared.“
其他富有的投资人和高管们也曾表达对加密数字货币的怀疑。其中就有沃伦·巴菲特和杰米·戴蒙。巴菲特曾把比特币叫做“加强版老鼠药”。
NFTs， or nonfungible tokens， are digital proofs of a purchase for goods like art， digital music and sneakers. After surging in popularity， their demand appears to be flatlining recently. Rising interest rates have crushed risky bets across the financial markets—and NFTs are among the most speculative.
NFT，或者叫非同质化代币，是购买艺术品、数字音乐和球鞋等商品的电子凭证。在人气飙升之后，最近其需求似乎开始趋于平缓。持续上涨的利率粉碎了整个金融市场的风险投资——而NFT是其中最具投机性的产品之一。
Mr. Gates said he preferred asset classes “like a farm where they have the output or a pany where they make products.“
盖茨说，他倾向的资产类型是“像农场一样有产出或者像公司一样制造产品”。
His ments e as bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have slid sharply in recent days amid a broad global market rout， undoing much of the gains at the beginning of the pandemic when a wave of investors started betting on digital currencies.
