天秤座是一種新型的,革命性的法定貨幣形式。

天秤座好像是私營中央銀行?

天秤座與加密貨幣的增長是什麼關係?

天秤座=比特幣+支付寶?

正文

在最近幾周內,關於Facebook的天秤座項目已經有很多人說過和寫過,這讓很多人感到頭暈目眩。

但是,正如加密世界經常發生的那樣,其中大部分都是誤導或根本不是真的。

天秤座是加密貨幣?

例如,有些人稱天秤座為“ 加密貨幣” 。

是的,它使用加密貨幣技術。但從一開始,我們就指出,無論具體技術如何,加密貨幣的基本定義原則都是分散化。

Libra 違背了這一原則。它由Facebook 和強大的金融科技公司(包括Uber ,eBay ,Mastercard ,Visa ,Spotify 和Vodafone 等)支持,背書,發行和控制,它是中心化的。

天秤座是ETF?

其他人將其視為某種投資工具,如交易所交易基金(ETF )。

是的,Libra將得到金融資產的支持,包括法定貨幣和以這些貨幣計價的政府債券。然而,與ETF或共同基金不同的是,Libra並不代表這些證券的份額。當這些證券升值時,它的價值不會上升。它也不會為產生的任何利潤支付紅利。

Yes, Libra willbe backed by financial assets, including fiat currencies and government bondsdenominated in those currencies. However, unlike an ETF or mutual fund, Libradoes not represent a share in those securities. It won’t rise in value whenthose securities appreciate. Nor will it pay dividends on any of the profitsgenerated.

恰恰相反,它的價值將是固定的。公司財團將保留所有利潤。除了作為價值儲存或交換媒介的實用性之外,Libra的持有者將獲得zilch。

Quite to thecontrary, its value will be fixed. The consortium of companies will keep allthe profits. And other than its utility as a store of value or exchange medium,Libra holders will get zilch.

Libra到底是什麼?

鑑於目前Facebook計劃的透明度,這些誤解是非常奇怪的。

Given thecurrent level of transparency of Facebook’s plans, these misunderstandings arequite strange.

更奇怪的是,兩個陣營之間的辯論 - 那些聲稱它是加密貨幣的人和那些認為它類似於ETF的人 – 火爆進行ing。

What’s evenstranger is that the debate between the two camps – those who claim it’s acryptocurrency and those who think it’s akin to an ETF – rages on.

我說兩者都錯了。

我再說一遍:Libra既不是加密貨幣,也不是一項投資,而是......

I say both arewrong.

I repeat: Librais not a cryptocurrency. Nor is it an investment. Rather …

Libra是一種新型的、革命性的法定貨幣形式。

Libra is a new, revolutionary form offiat currency.

稱為革命性的一個主要原因:

It’srevolutionary for one main reason:

歷史首次!我們正在目睹一種貨幣的出現,這種貨幣不是由一個主權政府支持和背書,而是由數十億美元的大公司支持和背書的。

For the firsttime in history, we are witnessing the emergence of a currency that’s backedand sponsored not by a sovereign government, but by large multibillion-dollarcorporations.

這就是讓Libra真正具有革命性的原因。不是它的技術,而是貨幣的私有化。

This is whatmakes Libra truly revolutionary. Not its technology. But rather the privatizationof money.

單個實體使用傳統的法定貨幣來發行新型貨幣。它以充分的信念和信譽支持貨幣領域內的所有資產和生產力。此外,它還擁有各種資產的儲備,特別是其他法定貨幣和以這些貨幣計價的債券。

With traditionalfiat money, a single entity issues the currency. It backs the currency with itsfull faith and credit -- all the assets and productive power under its domain.Plus, it maintains reserves with a variety of assets, especially other fiatcurrencies and bonds denominated in these currencies.

聽起來有點熟?沒錯,因為這正是天秤座將要做的事情。

Libra的新特點是,與美元,英鎊,歐元或日元不同,該實體是一些世界上最大的公司之一。

Sound familiar?It should. Because that's exactly what Libra is going to do.

What’s new andspecial about Libra is that, unlike dollars, pounds, euros or yen, the entityis a group of some of the world’s largest companies.

這是在現代從未存在過的一種貨幣形式。

It’s a form ofmoney that has never existed in the modern era.

私人貨幣!公司背書的貨幣!

Private money. Corporate-sponsoredmoney.

它使用與加密貨幣相同的技術——分佈式分類帳技術(DLT) - 僅僅是達到目的的手段。

The fact that ituses the same technology as cryptocurrencies -- Distributed Ledger Technology(DLT) – is merely the means to an end.

這樣做只是為了防止財團中的任何一家公司獲得對資產的完全控制權。相反,這種新形勢的貨幣是由委員會投票決定的,該財團的每個成員都獲得投票。

And that end issimply to prevent any one of the companies in the consortium from gainingcomplete control over the asset. Instead, the idea is for decisions regardingthis new form of money to be made by committee.Each member of the consortiumgets a vote.

DLT是被用作執行決策規則的機制。

And theDistributed Ledger Technology is used as the mechanism to enforce thedecision-making rules.

Libra好像是私營中央銀行?

Like a Private-sector Central Bank?

在很多方面,是的!該模型確實以中央銀行的運作方式大量借貸。

In many ways,yes! The model does borrow heavily from the way central banks work.

將財團視為美聯儲,並將每家公司視為為聯邦公開市場委員會(FOMC)提供一名董事會成員或代表,該委員會決定貨幣政策。

Think of theconsortium as a kind of Federal Reserve. And think of each company ascontributing one board member or representative to the Federal Open MarketCommittee (FOMC), which decides monetary policy.

Libra在所有權分配方面的立場是什麼?

它可能不如政府貨幣那樣的中心化,但也沒有像比特幣等加密貨幣那樣的去中心化。所以......

Where does Librastand in terms of distribution of ownership?

It will probablybe less centralized than government currencies, but it doesn't even come closeto the decentralization of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.So …

What does Libra have to do with thegrowth of cryptocurrencies?

實際上關係很大。

A lot, actually.

首先,比特幣的相對成功激勵了許多公司和社區——無論大小——都在試圖創造自己的貨幣。

在比特幣之前,只有邊緣社區才會想到這樣做。但在這個加密貨幣的新時代,似乎每週都會出現一種新的貨幣理念。

First, it’s therelative success of Bitcoin that has inspired many companies and communities —big and small — to attempt to create their own money.

Before Bitcoin,only fringe communities would even think of doing so. But in this new era ofcryptocurrencies, it seems a new currency idea is born every week.

其次,Facebook及其財團將為DLT帶來極大的聲譽。它將有助於將加密貨幣從邊緣傳送到主流。

Second, Facebookand its consortium will lend great credibility to Distributed LedgerTechnology.It will help teleport cryptocurrencies from the fringes to themainstream.

即使Libra從未直接觸及那些加密貨幣,它也必然會對任何加密產生更廣泛的興趣。

And even ifLibra never touches those cryptocurrencies directly, it’s bound to generate afar broader interest in anything crypto.

投資者將更加熟悉他們無法觸及或感受到的資產,存入銀行或添加到他們的IRA和401(k)賬戶中。

#編者注:

(1)美國的個人退休賬戶InpidualRetirement Accounts,簡稱IRA;

(2)美國1978年《國內收入法》中的(section401K)條款,它是美國一種特殊的退休儲蓄計劃。

Investors willbecome more comfortable with assets that they can’t touch or feel, deposit in abank, or add to their IRA and 401(k).

並且,我們可以設想未來的平臺,提供簡單的機制,直接將Libra轉換為比特幣,ETH和其他加密貨幣。

此外,還有另一個很少談論的因素可能促成了這種貨幣的演變:

And, we canenvision future platforms that provide easy mechanisms for directly convertingLibra into Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies.

Plus, there’sanother, little-talked-about factor tat may have contributed to this evolutionof money:

Libra=比特幣+支付寶?

A Fusion of Bitcoin and Alipay?

在中國創建的支付寶最初只是一個簡單的支付應用程序,但後來它逐漸發展成為全國最大的商業銀行(按用戶數量計算)。

在中國政府對此進行打擊之前,支付寶規模龐大,為中國一半的中小企業服務。

Alipay, createdin China, started as a simple payment application. But then it grew to becomethe largest commercial bank in the entire country (by number of users).

Beforethe Chinese government cracked down on it, Alipay was so large that it wasserving half of the small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in China.

而今天,如果你將天秤座視為比特幣與支付寶的融合,你就不會偏差太遠。它借鑑了兩者的概念:

(a)免費,開放的加密資產

(b)集中支付應用程序。

And today, ifyou visualize Libra as a fusion of Bitcoin with Alipay, you wouldn’t be far offthe mark. It borrows concepts from both

(a) free, opencrypto assets and

(b) centralized payment apps.

支付寶或微信可能過於害怕或過於短視而無法創造一種全新的貨幣;他們堅持政府所允許的一切。

但現在,Facebook及其財團已經更進了一步。

Alipay or WeChatmay have been too afraid or too shortsighted to create a brand-new currency;they stuck with whatever their government allowed.

But now,Facebook and its consortium have taken it a step further.

最終的結果既不是政府發行的貨幣,也不是去中心化的加密貨幣,而是兩者的融合。

And the endresult is neither government-issued money, nor decentralized cryptocurrency,but rather a fusion of the two.

一些懷疑論者說Libra是一種時尚潮流,不會成功。

Some skepticssay Libra is a passing fad and won't be successful.

我認為他們也錯了。但即使他們在某種程度上是正確的,他們也錯過了重點:

I think they’realso wrong. But even if they’re right to some extent, they’re missing the bigpoint:

這是歷史上第一次有數十億美元的公司開始創造自己的貨幣形式,僅這一點就會改變金融世界。並且,幾乎沒有任何主權政府可以或將會採取措施阻止它們。

This is thefirst time in history that multibillion-dollar companies have set out to createtheir own form of money. That alone will change the world of finance. Andthere’s next to nothing sovereign governments can or will do to stop them.

比特幣永遠改變了世界貨幣體系。

Bitcoin changedthe world's monetary system forever.

天機已然洩露!

The cat is out of the bag.

無論是公司背書支持的貨幣,還是純粹的加密貨幣,政府壟斷貨幣發行和控制的日子已經屈指可數了。

Whether it'scompany-sponsored money or a pure cryptocurrency, the days in which governmentsmonopolize the issuance and control of money are numbered.
