GameStop Might Have Outperformed Bitcoin's Yearly Returns In A Single Day But Here's Why King Crypto Evokes More Optimism
Shares of video game retailer GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) have lifted exponentially this week, trumping the world's largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) yearly gains in a single day.
電子遊戲零售商GameStop Corp.（紐約證券交易所代碼：GME）的股價本週呈指數級上漲，超過了世界上最大的加密貨幣比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）的單日漲幅。
What Happened: GameStop shares rallied 190% since the week began, according to data from Benzinga Pro, pumped by retail traders' excitement over the return of Keith Gill, aka "Roaring Kitty", a central character in the previous rally of shares in January 2021. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has risen 125% over the past year, paling in comparison to the GameStop whirlwind.
發生了什麼：根據Benzinga Pro的數據，自本週開始以來，GameStop股價上漲了190％，這要歸因於零售交易員對基思·吉爾（又名 “咆哮的凱蒂”）的回歸感到興奮，基思·吉爾是2021年1月股價上漲的核心人物。另一方面，比特幣在過去一年中上漲了125％，與GameStop的旋風相比顯得蒼白無力。
That said, on a larger timeframe, the King Crypto's trajectory evoked more optimism. Since the last meme stock mania in Jan. 2021, Bitcoin has gained 91%, even breaching its previous peak earlier this year.
儘管如此，在更長的時間範圍內，King Crypto的發展軌跡引起了更多的樂觀情緒。自2021年1月上一次模因股狂熱以來，比特幣已經上漲了91％，甚至突破了今年早些時候的峯值。
GameStop, on the other hand, entered a multi-year decline and was unable to break through its prior highs. It was still trading 38% lower than its peak.
另一方面，GameStop進入了多年的跌勢，未能突破之前的高點。它的交易價格仍比峯值低38％。
Why It Matters: GameStop's trajectory displayed brief, sharp surges brought on by social media events, but Bitcoin exhibited consistency over the years, bolstering its use case as a store of value asset.
爲何重要：GameStop的發展軌跡顯示出社交媒體事件帶來的短暫而急劇的飆升，但比特幣多年來表現出一致性，鞏固了其作爲價值資產儲存的用例。
While the sustainability of GameStop's surge will be evident in the next few days, Bitcoin's growing mainstream penetration spurred by the launch of spot ETFs would mean a more stable ascent, away from wild fluctuations.
儘管GameStop飆升的可持續性將在未來幾天顯而易見，但由於現貨ETF的推出，比特幣的主流滲透率不斷提高，將意味着更穩定的上漲，遠離劇烈波動。
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $61,908.40, following a 1.14% drop in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
價格走勢：根據Benzinga Pro的數據，在撰寫本文時，比特幣的交易價格爲61,908.40美元，此前在過去24小時內下跌了1.14％。
