华尔街关于比特币的大分歧(Wall Street Great Bitcoin Divide)

Where Wall Street was once a united front in running the financials of America, and to an extent, the rest of the world, it is suffering a polarization as Bitcoin disrupts opinions.

作为曾经引领美国甚至某种程度上全球金融的统一战线，华尔街正因为对比特币的不同态度而经历着两级分化。

As the digital currency keeps booming, investors, financial managers and major banking CEOs are finding themselves in different camps for different reasons.

由于比特币的飞速发展，投资者、基金经理和主要银行的CEO们都因为不同的原因加入了不同阵营。

该平台将由首席执行官Lloyd Blankfein运营，在摩根大通CEO Jamie Dimon对比特币进行猛烈抨击的仅仅几周之后。

However, JP Morgan is seemingly a little bi-polar for as their CEO threatens his employees if they are caught involved in Bitcoin, the same company had also been experimenting with the some of the infrastructure that underpins digital currencies - Blockchains.

然而，摩根大通似乎有些两面派，一面其CEO威胁员工不许涉足比特币，一面又在实验作为数字货币底层基础设施的区块链技术。

Fidelity Investments have also taken a bold step for Wall Street as CEO Abigail Johnson, made cryptocurrency balances visible on the investment manager’s website for customers that hold an account with Coinbase.

富达投资集团也有大胆的行动，其CEO Abigail Johnson在投资经理网站上将加密货币账户余额对拥有Coinbase账户的客户可见。

摩根斯坦利看起来是支持比特币的，因为其CEO James Gorman曾说他认为比特币“不仅仅只是一时狂热”。

反对者

Jamie Dimon declared Bitcoin “a fraud” that would “eventually blow up”, the JP Morgan CEO and his thoughts on Bitcoin coincided with a ban of ICOs in China and is said to be one of the catalyzing factors in the recent drop in price.

Jamie Dimon声称比特币是一个骗局并且泡沫终将破裂，这位摩根大通CEO关于比特币的观点与中国禁止ICO的一致，并且据说是造成最近比特币价格下跌的原因之一。

“It’s worse than tulip bulbs and won’t end well,” Dimon said, referring to the classic, 17th-century asset bubble.

“比特币比郁金香泡沫更糟并且不会有好结果”，参照经典的17世纪资产泡沫，Dimon说。

Recently immortalized in the movie, the Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort, has come out against the new-age currency. He agrees with Dimon’s assessment adding that his concerns also go into the security surrounding an online currency.

最近，电影《华尔街之狼》的作者暨人物原型Jordan Belfort提出反对新时代货币。他同意Dimon的言论同时也表达了自己对线上货币相关安全问题的担忧。
