In case you hadn’t heard (or choose to ignore such things), bitcoin is back. The original — and still biggest — cryptocurrency surged to a record high of more than $72,000 on Monday, having more than tripled in value in the space of a year. Other crypto tokens, such as ethereum and dogecoin — beloved by Elon Musk — have also been rallying, with the estimated value of the market climbing to above $2.7tn for the first time in more than two years. The funny thing is, though, that there’s a chance you have actually not heard. There’s not so much talk about which token is next going “to da moon” or so many instances of “Wen Lambo?” this time around. Newspapers aren’t running stories about how hilariously rich everyone is getting apart from you. Worldwide search traffic for “bitcoin” and “crypto” has climbed in recent days but it is still only about half the level it was the last time a record was hit in 2021, according to Google Trends.
如果你还没有听说（或选择忽略此类事情），比特币又回来了。周一，第一种、而且仍然最大的加密货币飙升至7.2万美元上方的历史新高，其价格在一年内上涨两倍多。其他加密代币，例如以太币以及受到埃隆•马斯克(Elon Musk)青睐的狗狗币，近来也在上涨。整个加密货币市场的估计价值两年多来首次攀升至2.7万亿美元以上。
