切入角度: 太快售出他的比特幣 - 雲端代幣 (Cloud Tokens) 是第二次機會
I sold my bitcoin in 2013. It wasn’t like I had tens of thousands of bitcoin to sell but if I hadn’t cashed out then, I could retire now. I gave away my winning lottery ticket.
我在2013年售出我的比特幣。我並沒有成千上萬的比特幣可賣，但是如果當初沒有出售變現，我現在就可以退休了。我卻把中獎的彩券拱手讓出。
I sit at my desk fantasizing about the what-if. Watching for the money hit my account, and immediately rising from my work station, rich and somehow untouchable. I say my piece (something devastatingly witty) and stride out of the office. The Prodigy’s Diesel Power plays, my boss waves his fist in slow motion, mouthing something I don’t have to listen to. I pretend not to notice the girls who are noticing me. I hold my palm up to the exit and the doors fly clean off the building, because now I have super powers, because this is my fantasy and the laws of physics doesn’t apply here. I casually throw a lit match behind me.
我坐在書桌前幻想著如果沒賣會如何如何。看著錢砸進我的戶頭，並且立刻從我的工作站不斷向上升，有錢了卻有些摸不著。我講了幾句話 (充滿毀滅性的機智) ，大步走出我的辦公室。我的福特神童 (Prodigy) 柴油動力車響著，我的老闆以慢動作揮舞著他的拳頭，講些我再也不必聽的東西。我假裝沒去注意那些正注意著我的女孩子們。我對著出口舉起手掌，門立刻飛離了大樓，因為我現在擁有超級神力，因為這只是我的幻想，所以物理定律起不了作用。我隨手朝身後扔了一根點燃的火柴。
I’m sure if the day actually came where I could walk out I would be far more pleasant. I’d leave the doors on at least.
如果我可以走出去的這一天真的到來，我確定我會更加愉快。至少我會讓門留著不用飛走。
I’ve had time to make my peace with my bit-fail. In 2015 I started building a few hundred here and there. I’m playing it relatively safe. A few are looking like they’ll pay off but I just can’t cash out. Serious FOMO. My blood pressure struggled with Ethereum in June this year.
我曾經有時間和我的比特幣失誤和好過。2015年的時候，我開始陸陸續續達到了幾百個。我玩得還算相對穩當。有幾枚看起來好像可以賺錢了，可是我就是沒能兌現。嚴重的患得患失。今年六月我的血壓隨著以太坊上上下下。
One ICO that really stands out from the crowd in an overly flooded overly trending market is Cloud Token. IMO, I can see Cloud Token climbing from $10 to $100 in the first few weeks. The demand is there and these tokens can be used for something right away… Half price AWS and Azure anyone? You can’t mine for more and only 30m are available. Good luck trying to get a piece of the pie after the ICO ends, it’s going to sell out long before then.
有一檔首次代幣發售眾籌 (ICO) 從一堆過於氾濫過於熱門的市場中脫穎而出，它就是雲端代幣 (Cloud Token) 。依我看呢，我可以看到雲端代幣 (Cloud Token) 在最初的幾個禮拜由十元勁升到一百元。需求存在，而且這些代幣可以馬上使用 … 亞馬遜網路服務系統 (AWS, Amazon Web Service) 和微軟的 Azure 整合式雲端服務 (Azure) 半價，有沒人要？你也沒法挖出更多了，只能達到 3000萬枚。首次代幣發售眾籌 (ICO) 結束以後，想要分一杯羹就只能祝你好運了。早在結束之前就賣光了。
The crowdfund from tokens is being used to bootstrap a decentralized cloud, they’re already in Phase Two. They’ve already laid the foundations even before they launched their token pre sale. They even have a clause in the white paper that says anyone in the company can’t cash out their own tokens for 12 months, but we can. These aren’t amateurs.
代幣所集的資金將會用於進行一種分散的雲端，目前已到達第二階段。在推出代幣預售之前，他們已經奠定了基礎。他們甚至在白皮書中有一項條款，規定公司內任何人在12個月之內都不可以兌現他們自己的代幣，但是我們卻可以。這些絕非業餘人士。
Remember the Silicon Valley Pied Piper episode? This is it! Everyone will be able to donate a little computing power to create one giant cloud, which we can all use for a fraction of the cost of today's cloud service providers. We get privacy, we get paid for contributing, we pay less for services. I’d be a fool not to buy in now. This could be my new retirement fund.
(譯者註：根據維基百科, 矽谷 (Silicon Valley) 是美國電視播放的情境喜劇連續劇，主要角色是六個年輕人在美國加州矽谷成立了一家初創公司，而吹笛手 (Pied Pier) 是他們研發的一款音樂應用程式)
還記得美國電視情境喜劇“矽谷”（Silicon Valley）有關吹笛手 (Pied Piper) 的那一集嗎？就是這個啦！每個人都能捐一些計算能力來創建一個巨大的雲端，我們全都可以利用這個雲端，而只要支付目前雲端服務供應商所收費用的一小部分就夠了。我們擁有隱私權，我們付出的貢獻會獲得報酬，我們支付更少的錢就可獲得服務。我如果現在不買進，就真是傻了。這可能會是我新的退休基金。
