When Warren Buffett speaks, investors listen. And Buffett is still not sold on bitcoin.

　　当沃伦巴菲特发表见解时，投资者会“言听计从”。巴菲特对“比特币”却一如既往的“不买账”。

　　In an exclusive interview with Yahoo Finance in Omaha, Neb., leading up to Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting, Buffett laid out his latest thinking on cryptocurrency investing.

　　在伯克希尔哈撒韦年度股东大会召开前夕，巴菲特接受了媒体采访，采访中巴菲特对加密货币投资进行了最新阐述。

　　“There’s two kinds of items that people buy and think they’re investing,” he says. “One really is investing and the other isn’t.” Bitcoin, he says, isn’t.

　　“人们通常会购买两种东西，认为自己是在投资，一种是真正的投资，而另一种则不是，”比特币属于后者，巴菲特称。

　　“If you buy something like a farm, an apartment house, or an interest in a business… You can do that on a private basis… And it’s a perfectly satisfactory investment. You look at the investment itself to deliver the return to you. Now, if you buy something like bitcoin or some cryptocurrency, you don’t really have anything that has produced anything. You’re just hoping the next guy pays more.”

　　“如果你买了一个农场、一套公寓，或者对一家企业感兴趣……你可以基于私人基础做这些事情……这完美符合投资。你关注投资本身，期望获得回报。如今，如果你买了比特币或一些加密货币，这些东西不会产生任何东西，你只是希望下一个接盘者付出更多。”

　　When you buy cryptocurrency, Buffett continues, “You aren’t investing when you do that. You’re speculating. There’s nothing wrong with it. If you wanna gamble somebody else will come along and pay more money tomorrow, that’s one kind of game. That is not investing.”

　　当你购买加密货币时，巴菲特继续说，“你并不是在投资。你在投机。这没什么不对的。如果你想赌一把，明天就会有人来并愿意付更多的钱，这就是赌博的一种。这不是投资。”

　　To be sure, many big banks and blue-chip American corporations like IBM, have embraced blockchain, the underlying decentralized ledger technology on which bitcoin is built. But for now, Buffett isn’t sold on crypto.

　　可以肯定的是，许多大银行和像IBM这样的美国蓝筹公司都已经接受了区块链，这是一种底层的去中心化的分类记账技术，基于此并产生了比特币。但就目前而言，巴菲特显然对加密技术并不“买账”。
