什么是比特币？比特币如何产生的？

首先我们要知道，比特市不是政府发行的，不是由中国人民银行发行的，它是从2009年才开始有的，它通过P2P分布式网络来核查重复消费，比特币通过下载客户端可以制造比特币，不存在伪造行为，它是通过一套密码编码通过复杂的算法产生的，每四年比特币的数量会减半，所以比特币很值钱。

First of all, we need to know that the city of Bit is not issued by the Government, not by the People's Bank of China, but only since 2009, that it has verified repeated consumption through the P2P distribution network, that bitcoin can produce bitcoin by downloading its client, that there is no forgery, that it is generated through a complex algorithm using a code code code, and that the number of bitcoins will be halved every four years, so that bitcoin is valuable.

其实比特币在现实生活中也在应用，如：四川芦山地震时中国第一次允许用比特币作为捐赠物，其实也就是从那时起比特币才开始火热起来，大家很好奇比特币是什么东西，才开始认识这个东西。

Bitcoin is also being used in real life, for example, when China first allowed the use of bitcoin as a donation during the Sichuan mountains earthquake, and it was only since then that bitcoin began to get hot, and it was good to know what bitcoin was.

我们如何得到比特币呢？其实大家也知道有两种方法：

How do we get bitcoin? You know there are two ways:

一种方法就是到网络市场上去买，根据与人民币的换算去购买，现在差不多，一比特币要换5000多元人币吧。

One way is to go to the Internet market and buy on the basis of conversion to the renminbi, which is now almost 5,000 yuan in exchange for a bitcoin.

另外一种方法就是通过下载客户端进行计算特定数量的数学问题来获得比特币。

Another method is to obtain bitcoin by downloading the client for mathematical problems in calculating a given quantity.

其实第二种方法也并不是这么容易就能够获得的，也需要很大的成本才能赚到，我的一个朋友运行了几天才赚到0.0016比特币，很难，可能与方法，电脑也有一定的关系。

In fact, the second approach is not so easy to obtain, and it takes a lot of money to earn, and one of my friends has been running for days to earn 0.00016 bits of bitcoins, and it's difficult, possibly, to have some connection to the method and to the computer.

现在有很多人用比特币进行投资，其实说实话也在用这个东西投资还有一定的风险的，国家现在还没有承认这个东西的合法性，现在很大程度上只是在网络上进行交易，也有一部分人用于黑市交易，最近一段时间内比特币肯定会升值，但是就要看下一步政府怎样对网络进行监管，因为现在网络监管很滞后，网络上产生的很多问题，现实中没有人去解决，可能政府现在也是心有余力不足，没有找到合适的方法，

Now that there's a lot of people investing in bitcoin, and there's a real risk of investing in this thing, and the state has not yet recognized the legitimacy of this thing, it's doing it on the Internet to a large extent, and there's some people doing it on the black market, and it's going to appreciate in recent times, but it's going to depend on how the next government regulates the network, because it's lagging behind, many of the problems that arise on the Internet, none of them in reality, and perhaps the government has not found the right way.

5/6

想象一下，目前全球没有一个统一的货币在运行，也都通过兑换的形式进行操作的，如果比特币能够担当这个重任的话，势必是个好事情，现在通过虚拟的形式比特币已经可以买到现实生活中的所有的东西了，尽管政府现在还不承认，但是它已经很现实的存在了。但是很多人认为比特币是一个阴谋，是用后人的精力或财力为前人做事。也就是说现在我们对比特币这么热衷其实钱早被最早的人赚去了。

Imagine that there is no single currency operating around the globe, and that it is operated in the form of conversion. If Bitcoin could do that, it would be a good thing. Bitcoin can now buy everything in real life in virtual form, even though the government does not recognize it now, but it is real.

比特币与QQ币的区别：

The difference between Bitcoins and Queens:

比特币不属于任何一个国家或公司或团体，它广泛的存在于网络当中，目前可以和任何一个国家的货币进行兑换，现在各个国家对它都很重视，虽然没有成为法定货币。

Bitcoin does not belong to any country or company or group; it is widely present in the network; it can now be exchanged with the currency of any country; it is now valued by all countries, although it does not become a legal currency.

QQ币属于腾讯公司，现在腾讯公司大力推广这个QQ币，其它团体或公司很少有推广这个东西，因为这样不会给它带来任何利益。

QQueens belong to Tstel, and Tstem is now actively promoting it, which is rarely promoted by other groups or companies, as this does not bring any benefit to it.

，但近几周币值一路高涨，直至4月10日创出266美元的峰值之后，该币币值便出现一轮暴跌，盘中一路下跌至105美元，跌幅高达61%。比特币是什么？比特币有什么价值？很多人在谈论这一虚拟货币。意见分为两派：一派认为，比特币似乎就是一种庞式骗局；另一派则认为比特币是一种创新。

But in recent weeks, when the value of the currency rose, until April 10, when it peaked at $266, there was a sharp drop in that currency, which fell to $105 and 61 per cent. What is Bitcoin? What is the value of Bitcoin? Many people are talking about this virtual currency.

　　但还有一类人，还根本不太了解何谓比特币——而这部分人，可能是绝大多数。

There is, however, a category of people who do not know much what a bitcoin is — and that part of them may be the overwhelming majority.

　　接下来，我们借用 科技 博客网站Business Insider的一篇文章，来给大家做一下入门级普及：这让人疯狂的货币是什么货。它与真实货币又有哪些区别呢？

Next, we use an article from the technology blog Business Insider to give you an introduction: what's this crazy currency? What's the difference between it and real money?

　　（1）比特币是什么？

(1) What's Bitcoin?

　　比特币出现与2008年，是一种分散化、匿名、只能在数字世界使用的货币，它不属于任何国家和金融机构，并且不受地域限制，可以在世界上的任何地方兑换它。

The advent of Bitcoin in 2008 was a decentralized, anonymous currency that can only be used in the digital world and that does not belong to any country or financial institution and is not subject to geographical restrictions and can be exchanged anywhere in the world.

　　（2）比特币的起源

(2) Origin of Bitcoin

　　2008年，有人用笔名“中田聪（Satoshi Nakamoto）”发表了一篇论文，论文中描述了比特币的使用方法，1年后，比特币的首笔交易完成。

In 2008, a paper was published under the pen name “Satoshi Nakamoto”, which described the use of Bitcoin and, one year later, the first deal in Bitcoin was completed.

　　（虎嗅注：据福布斯中文网这篇文章称，这位采用日本名字的神秘人物已经消失在网络。没有人知道他是否真的是日本人，还是一个庞大的机构。《连线》从他的行文措辞推测，他有可能出生于美国，甚至有可能是Google公司或美国国家安全局的一个神秘小组的代号。）

No one knows if he's really Japanese, or if he's a huge agency. Wire, in his language, assumes that he could have been born in the United States, or even a code name for Google or a secret team of the US National Security Agency.

　　（3）比特币从何而来？

(3) Where did Bitcoin come from?

　　用户可以买到比特币，同时还可以使用计算机依照算法进行大量的运算来“开采”比特币。在用户“开采”比特币时，需要用电脑搜寻64位的数字就行，然后通过反 复解谜与其他淘金者相互竞争，为比特币网络提供所需的数字，如果用户的电脑成功地创造出一组数字，那么就将会获得25个比特币。

Users can buy bitcoins, and they can “exploit” bitcoins using computers using algorithms. When users “exploit” bitcoins, they need computers to search for 64 figures, then compete with other gold diggers by contrasting puzzles to provide the number needed for the bitcoins network, and if the user’s computer succeeds in creating a set of numbers, 25 bitcoins will be obtained.

　　由于比特币系统采用了分散化编程，所以目前在每10分钟内只能获得25个比特币，而到2140年，流通的比特币上限将会达到2100万。换句话说，比特币系统是能够实现自给自足的，通过编码来抵御通胀，并防止他人对这些代码进行破坏。

Because of the decentralized programming of the Bitcoin system, only 25 bitcoins are currently available every 10 minutes, and by 2140 the cap in circulation will reach 21 million bitcoins. In other words, the Bitcoin system is self-sufficient, resistant to inflation through codes, and prevents others from destroying them.

　　（4）比特币值多少钱？

(4) How much is the bitcoin?

　　在刚刚出现的时候，比特币几乎一文不值，1美元平均能够买到1309.03个比特币，但如今1比特币的价值相当于135.3美元，感兴趣的朋友可以登陆Preev网站了解比特币的实时报价。

At the time of its appearance, Bitcoin was almost worthless, with an average of 1309.03 bitcoins purchased by $1, but now worth $1bitcoin equals $135.3, and interested friends can access Preev to the real-time price of Bitcoin.

　　（5）比特币能否兑换现金？

(5) Is Bitcoin convertible in cash?

　　答案是肯定的。你只需与比特币交易机构取得联系即可完成兑换，其中Mt. Gox是目前最为流行的比特币交易平台，不过现在该平台仅通过一款应用程序接纳新成员。除此之外还有几家规模较大的交易所，能够进行比特币兑换和交易。

The answer is yes. All you need to do is get in touch with the Bitcoin trading agency, where Mt. Gox is the most popular bitcoin trading platform in the world, but the platform now hosts new members through only one application.

　　（6）比特币为何要匿名？如何实现匿名？

(6) Why is Bitcoin anonymous? How can it be anonymous?

　　比特币之所以匿名是因为它们是建立在一个分散化的系统之上的，比特币是完全独立存在的，外界无法通过某种核心基础设施来关闭它。

Bitcoin is anonymous because it is built on a decentralized system, and Bitcoin is completely independent and cannot be shut down by the outside world through some kind of core infrastructure.

　　“匿名”对于那些不想让自己的名字和所购置的商品或服务联系在一起的人来说是非常受用的，外人所看到的无非是你的比特币钱包地址和一串随机的文字和数字等信息，除此之外没有任何能够辨认个人身份的信息。同时对于相对偏执的用户来说，还可以免费创建多个新钱包。

“Anonymity” is very useful for those who do not want to link their names to the goods or services they purchase. Outsiders see nothing but information such as your bitcoin wallet address and a random set of words and numbers.

　　（7）比特币能做什么？

(7) What can Bitcoin do?

　　此前曾报道称不法分子利用匿名的比特币来购买毒品和枪支等非法商品，但其实有很多合法的商家如今也接受比特币交易，比如豪生连锁酒店（Howard Johnson）就乐意接受比特币付费，而BitElectronics更是一家只接受比特币的消费电子产品商店。

Previously, it had been reported that outlaws used anonymous bitcoin to purchase illicit goods such as drugs and firearms, but there were many legitimate traders who now also accepted bitcoin transactions, such as Howard Johnson, who was happy to accept bitcoin payments, while BitElecronics was a consumer electronics store that only accepted bitcoin.

　　（9）比特币合法吗？

(9) Bitcoin legal?

　　比特币并不是真实货币，它不像纸币和硬币那样代表一定的价值。目前美国政府并担心比特币可能会对金融市场造成的影响，因为只需通过制订对应的法案就能对其进 行管理和控制。相对于曾经出现的“自由美元”来说，后者是1998和2009年之间所出现的一种能够替代实物的流通型货币，而其创造者伯纳德·冯·诺特豪 斯（Bernard von NotHaus）也在2011年因自行制造、占有和销售货币被判有罪。

Bitcoin is not a real currency, and it does not represent value as paper and coins. The US government is currently concerned about the possible impact of bitcoin on financial markets, since it can only be managed and controlled through a corresponding bill.

　　目前可以通过多种渠道了解到关于比特币的信息，Bitcoin subreddit和Bitcoin Magazine都是获得比特币的消息源。来源于虎嗅网

Bitcoin subreddit and Bitcoin Magazine are sources of Bitcoin.

1.资本相对集中

1. Relative concentration of capital

全球资本集中在政府机构以及个体金融机构系统中，资金高度集中的同时带来了一系列的分布不平衡。资产持有不公、分配不公以及由此衍生出一系列的暴动等等，不断冲击着这种集中制度，无政府组织为了对抗这种政府集中制度，不断寻找新的资金分管方法。这种出于不信任中心体系而出现的对抗行为，最终推动了信任机器的开动。

Global capital is concentrated in government institutions and individual financial institutions, with a high concentration of funds accompanied by a series of imbalances. Inequity in asset holdings, inequitable distribution, and the ensuing series of riots continue to shock this system of concentration, with unincorporated organizations constantly seeking new ways of disbursing funds in order to counter this centralized system of government.

2.区块链雏形

2. Features of the block chain

直到2008年一位化名为“中本聪”的学者发表了一篇名为《区块链：一种点对点的电子现金系统》，区块链由此得以命名。次年1月，一串程序代码出现，编程的技术至今无法破解，这一代码为区块链的问世提供了雏形。“中本聪”由此创建出比特币创世区块，并产生第一笔50枚的比特币奖励。区块链的问世同样预示着信任机制的出现，不再依靠集中制度来完成区块的创造和拥有。区块链的内涵不仅仅是比特币或者某种数字货币，它还包括智能合约等一系列基于信任的应用。

The chain was named after a 2008 scholar called “Middle-to-Hear” when he published a book called Block Chain: A Point-to-Point Electronic Cash System. In January of the following year, a series of program codes appeared and programming techniques could not yet be broken, which provided a prototype for the creation of the block chain. “Middle-to-Hear” created a bitcoin creation block and generated the first 50 bitcoins award. The discovery of the block chain also heralded the emergence of a trust-based mechanism that no longer relied on a centralized system to complete the creation and possession of blocks.

3.产生平等

3. Generating equality

因此，区块链以及比特币可以说是一群不信任中心化机构和现存金融体系的互联网产物，用先进的技术对抗全球的现行货币体制。区块链的诞生垫付了传统的资金持有市场，产生公平、公正、相等的持有权利，因而得到国外无政府组织者的青睐，并在国外盛传。

Thus, the block chain and Bitcoin can be described as a group of Internet products that do not trust centralized institutions and the existing financial system, using advanced technology to confront the current global monetary system. The formation of the block chain pre-empts traditional capital holding markets, creates fair, just, equal rights to hold, and thus enjoys the favor of foreign anarchists and spreads abroad.

4.核心思想

4. Core ideas

单区块链拥有的核心思想是，由中心化的体系来保证某种东西的价值是不可信的，再区块链系统中，每一个节点只需要根据自身的利益行事，才能保证系统安全。

The central idea in the single block chain is that a centralized system guarantees the value of something that is not credible, and that each node in the re-block chain system only needs to act in its own interest in order to ensure the security of the system.

北京时间2009年1月4日，白皮书的作者中本聪在位于芬兰赫尔辛基的一个小型服务器上，亲自创建了第一个区块——即比特币创世区块，并获得了第一笔50枚比特币的奖励，第一个比特币就此问世。

On 4 January 2009, Beijing time, the author of the White Paper, Ben-Sung, personally created the first block on a small server located in Helsinki, Finland — the Bitcoin Founding Block — and was awarded the first 50 bitcoins, the first of which came to life.

关于比特币

It's about bitcoin.

2010年5月22日，早期比特币爱好者——美国程序员拉兹洛希望能用比特币交换实物商品，他在一个比特币论坛发帖说：希望用10000个比特币交换2个价值25美元的披萨。一位英国志愿者与拉兹洛达成交易，获得了10000个比特币的报酬。这是比特币第一次有了价格，在整个加密社区引起了很大的轰动，人们为了纪念这次交易，把每年的5月22日称为“比特币披萨日”，比特币爱好者们聚在一起吃披萨庆祝。以现在比特币的比特币价格计算，当时的2块披萨价值约3亿人民币，买披萨的拉兹洛哥哥哭晕在厕所。

On May 22, 2010, an early bitcoin lover, U.S. Programmer Lazlo, who wanted to exchange bitcoin for goods in kind, wrote at a Bitcoin forum: "I want 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas worth $25." A British volunteer made a deal with Lazlo, receiving 10,000 bitcoins. This was the first time that Bitco had a price, which caused a great deal of excitement in the entire encrypted community. To mark the deal, the 22 May of each year was called a “bitcoon pizza day” and Bitcoin fans gathered together to celebrate pizza. At the current Bitco currency price, two pizzas were worth about 300 million yuan, and brother Lazlo, who bought pizza, cried in the toilet.

每小时全球能产生6个数据块，每4年就能产生21万个数据块；然后对数据块的报酬进行递减式支付，第一个4年支付每个数据块50比特币，第二个4年支付每个数据块25个比特币，第三个4年支付每个数据块12.5个比特币，以此类推......最后总的比特币数量就是--21万X(50+25+12.5+6.25+3.125+...)=2100万。括号里数字相加的总合近似一百，到2040年，比特币总数达到2100万枚。

The world produces six data blocks per hour, with 210,000 data blocks per four years; then a regressive payment is made for the data blocks, 50 bits per data block in the first four years, 25 bitcoins per data block in the second four years, and 12.5 bitcoins per data block in the third four years, and so on... the total number of bitcoins in the last four years is 210,000 x (50+25+12.5+6.25+3.125+...) = 21 million.

一、比特币病毒再次让它成为焦点

5月12日，全球突发比特币病毒疯狂袭击公共和商业系统事件！

On May 12, the global outbreak of the Bitcoin virus madly attacked the public and commercial system!

英国各地超过40家医院遭到大范围网络黑客攻击，国家医疗服务系统（NHS）陷入一片混乱。

More than 40 hospitals across the United Kingdom have been subjected to widespread cyber-hacker attacks, and the national health-care system (NHS) has been in a state of disarray.

中国多个高校校园网也集体沦陷。

China’s network of university campuses has also collapsed as a whole.

全球有接近74个国家受到严重攻击，比如：英国、西班牙、意大利、葡萄牙、俄罗斯和乌克兰等。

Close to 74 countries across the globe have been severely attacked, such as the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Russia and Ukraine.

受到感染后，勒索软件通常会将用户系统上所有的文档、邮件、数据库、源代码、图片、压缩文件等多种文件进行某种形式的加密操作，使之不可用，或者通过修改系统配置文件，干扰用户正常使用系统，使系统的可用性降低；

In the event of infection, the blackmail software typically uses some form of encryption of all documents, mail, databases, source codes, pictures, compressed files, etc. on the user system to render it non-usable or, by modifying the system configuration file, to interfere with the normal use of the system by the user, thereby reducing the availability of the system;

在用户心急如焚想要开启文档时，勒索软件就会通过弹出窗口、对话框或生成文本文件等的方式，向用户发出勒索通知，要求用户向指定帐户汇款（支付比特币赎金）来获得解密文件的密码，或者获得恢复系统正常运行的方法。

When a user is anxious to open a document, the blackmail software sends out a blackmail notice to the user by ejecting a window, dialogue box or generating a text file, requiring the user to send a remittance to the specified account (paying a Bitcoin ransom) to obtain a password to declassified the document or to obtain a method to restore the system to its normal functioning.

二、讲讲比特币的起源

比特币（BitCoin）的概念最初由中本聪（Satoshi Nakamoto）在2008年的论文《比特币：一种点对点的电子现金系统（中文版）》提出。2009年，根据中本聪的思路设计发布的开源软件以及建构其上的P2P网络。

The concept of BitCoin was originally proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto in his 2008 paper, Bitcoin: an electronic cash system for point-to-point (Chinese version). In 2009, open-source software was designed and released along the same lines as the P2P network on which it was based.

它是一种总量恒定2100万的数字货币，和互联网一样具有去中心化、全球化、匿名性等特性。向地球另一端转账比特币，就像发送电子邮件一样简单，低成本，无任何限制。

It's a constant 21 million digital currency, with decentralised, global, anonymous features like the Internet. Transfers to the other side of the planet are as simple, low-cost as e-mails, without restrictions.

比特币因此被用于跨境贸易、支付、汇款等领域。

Bitcoin has thus been used in areas such as cross-border trade, payments and remittances.

比特币是一种P2P形式的数字货币。点对点的传输意味着一个去中心化的支付系统。

Bitcoin is a digital currency in the form of a P2P. Point-to-point transmission means a decentralised payment system.

与大多数货币不同，比特币不依靠特定货币机构发行，它依据特定算法，通过大量的计算产生，比特币经济使用整个P2P网络中众多节点构成的分布式数据库来确认并记录所有的交易行为，并使用密码学的设计来确保货币流通各个环节安全性。

Unlike most currencies, Bitcoins do not depend on specific monetary institutions for issuance, which are generated by a large number of calculations, using distributed databases consisting of numerous nodes in the entire P2P network to identify and record all transactions and using cryptography designs to ensure the security of all links in currency circulation.

P2P的去中心化特性与算法本身可以确保无法通过大量制造比特币来人为操控币值。

The decentralized properties and algorithms of P2P can themselves ensure that the value of the currency cannot be artificially controlled through the mass manufacture of bitcoins.

基于密码学的设计可以使比特币只能被真实的拥有者转移或支付。这同样确保了货币所有权与流通交易的匿名性。

The design, based on cryptography, allows Bitcoins to be transferred or paid only by the true owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions.

比特币与其他虚拟货币最大的不同，是其总数量非常有限，具有极强的稀缺性。

The biggest difference between Bitcoin and other virtual currencies is its very limited total and extremely scarceness.

该货币系统曾在4年内只有不超过1050万个，之后的总数量将被永久限制在2100万个。

The monetary system had not exceeded 10.5 million in four years, and the total number would be permanently limited to 21 million.

从比特币的本质说起，比特币的本质其实就是一堆复杂算法所生成的特解。特解是指方程组所能得到无限个（其实比特币是有限个）解中的一组。而每一个特解都能解开方程并且是唯一的。以人民币来比喻的话，比特币就是人民币的序列号，你知道了某张钞票上的序列号，你就拥有了这张钞票。而挖矿的过程就是通过庞大的计算量不断的去寻求这个方程组的特解，这个方程组被设计成了只有2100万个特解，所以比特币的上限就是2100万个。

In the essence of Bitcoin, the essence of Bitcoin is actually a complex set of algorithms. The special solution is an infinite set of equations (which in fact are limited in bitcoins) that can be obtained by the equation team. And each one solves the equation and is the only one. In the case of the renminbi, Bitcoin is the serial number of the renminbi, and you know the serial number on a banknote, and you own it.

比特币之所以这么火，就是有了货币特征后，可以被全世界所接收，交易，储存。形成了它独特的生存环境。

Bitcoin is so hot that it can be received, traded, stored around the world with monetary features. It creates a unique environment for its survival.

二、比特币是数字黄金

比特币由于广阔的前景和巨大的遐想空间，自2009年诞生后价格持续上涨，2011年币价达到1美元，2013年最高达到1200美元，超过1盎司黄金价格，有“数字黄金”的美称（目前币价约450美元）。

Bitcoin continued to rise in prices since its birth in 2009, owing to its vast prospects and vast imagination, reaching US$ 1 in 2011 and a maximum of US$ 1,200 in 2013, exceeding the price of one ounce of gold, with the nickname “digital gold” (currently about US$ 450).

比特币可以用来兑现，可以兑换成大多数国家的货币。

Bitcoins can be cashed and converted into the currencies of most countries.

使用者可以用比特币购买一些虚拟物品，比如网络 游戏 当中的衣服、帽子、装备等，只要有人接受，也可以使用比特币购买现实生活当中的物品。

Users can buy virtual items in bitcoin, like clothes, hats, equipment in network games, and, if accepted, in bitcoin for real-life items.

在诞生后，比特币作为一种前所未有的新型货币，经历了无数的市场考验和技术攻击，始终屹立不倒。

After its birth, Bitcoin, as an unprecedented new currency, experienced numerous market tests and technological attacks and remained standing.

现在比特币已成长为一个在全球有着数百万用户，数万商家接受付款，市值最高达百亿美元的货币系统。

Bitcoin has now grown into a currency system with millions of users worldwide, tens of thousands of merchants receiving payments with a market value of up to $10 billion.

西维吉尼亚州民主党参议员乔·曼钦（Joe Manchin）2014年2月26日向美国联邦政府多个监管部门发出公开信，希望有关机构能够就比特币鼓励非法活动和扰乱金融秩序的现状予以重视，并要求能尽快采取行动，以全面封杀该电子货币。

On 26 February 2014, Senator Joe Manchin of the Democratic Party of West Virginia sent an open letter to a number of United States federal government regulators in the hope that the agencies concerned would pay attention to the current situation of Bitcoin, which encourages illegal activities and disrupts the financial order, and demanded that action be taken as soon as possible to block the electronic currency in its entirety.

三、我国的比特币交易平台

我国也有交易比特币的三大平台，它们分别是火币网、币行、比特币。

We also have three main platforms for trading bitcoin, namely, the currency network, currency lines and bitcoin.

2017年1月11日，中国人民银行上海总部、上海市金融办等对比特币中国开展现场检查，重点检查该企业是否未经许可或无牌照开展信贷、支付、汇兑等相关业务；反洗钱制度落实情况；资金安全隐患等。2017年1月12日，央行营业管理部也在北京进驻“火币网”、“币行”等交易平台。

On 11 January 2017, the People's Bank of China, the Shanghai headquarters, the Shanghai City Financial Office, etc., conducted an on-site inspection of the company's operations in relation to credit, payment, currency exchange, etc., without permission or license; the implementation of the anti-money-laundering regime; the risk of financial security, etc.

2017年1月24日中午12：00起，中国三大比特币平台正式开始收取交易费。

On 24 January 2017, at 12 noon, the three main bitcoin platforms in China officially began collecting transaction fees.

目前互联网上出现了大量由骗子公司控制发行的虚拟币，号称是比特币的模仿改进者，但实际上是传销或庞氏骗局（例如珍宝币、维卡币、摩根币等），或虽然不是纯粹的骗局，但被庄家高度控盘（例如鲨鱼币、谷壳币等）。

There are now a large number of virtual coins on the Internet that are controlled by fraud companies, known as bitcoin imitators, but which are either in fact marketed or ponzi schemes (e.g., Treasureco, Vikaco, Morgan Co., etc.) or which, although not pure fraud, are highly controlled by the estate (e.g., Sharkcoins, Valsheries, etc.).

这些骗子币与比特币的最大区别在于：比特币不属于任何人或组织，是一个无人控制的，去中心化运行的货币。而这些骗子币有明确的发行方，并被发行方完全控制。骗子币虽然也叫“币”，但和比特币完全是两码事。

The biggest difference between these swindle coins and bitcoins is that bitcoins do not belong to anyone or organization, and are an uncontrollable, decentralised currency. These swindle coins have a clear issuer and are fully controlled by the issuer.

和开放代码的比特币不同，大部分骗子币都不开放代码，或者干脆连代码都没有，只是网站上的一个数字，发行方想改多少就有多少。

Unlike the bitcoin of the open code, most of the counterfeit money is either unopened or simply uncoded, just a number on the website, and the issuer can change as much as he wants.

骗子币往往有人卖力发帖推广，一般用上下线拉人头的手段吸纳资金。

Liar coins are often promoted with the utmost effort and are generally used to draw people's heads up and down.

一个最简单的判断方法是，如果XX币由号称“实力雄厚”的XX公司发行，有着广阔的前景，并保证投资/挖矿收益高，许诺能涨能赚钱，要你花钱购买，那100%是骗子币。

A simplest way of judging is to say that if the XX dollar is issued by company XX, known as “high power”, and has broad prospects and guarantees a high return on investment/mining, promises to raise and make money, it is 100 per cent fraud currency.

尽量用简单的语句来讲讲，希望你能看懂。

As simple as possible, I hope you can read it.

在过去的一些时间里，或许你听到比特币这个词已超过1000次了，但仍然无法理解，比特币究竟是什么？

For some time now, perhaps you've heard the word bitcoin more than 1,000 times, but still can't understand what bitcoin is?

简而言之， 比特币是一种可以轻松存储和传输的加密文件，这是一种加密货币 ，它是第一种也是最大的加密货币。

In short, bitcoin is an encrypted file that can easily be stored and transmitted, an encrypted currency that is the first and largest encryption currency.

今天的比特币价格大概是每个五万左右（最高到了13万），你一定会问，凭什么要为这样一段代码支付高额的真金白银？

Today's bitcoin is about 50,000 apiece (up to 130,000), and you're sure to ask why you're paying high amounts of real silver for such a piece of code?

故事是以一个以物易物的方式开始的，第一批比特币交易是在论坛上通过讨价还价实现，比如其中就有一笔交易是这样：用10000比特币购买两块比萨饼。

The story began in a trade-off way, with the first bitcoin transaction being made in a forum through bargaining, such as the one in which two pizzas were purchased in 10,000 bitcoins.

比特币的核心是一种新的数字资产形式，它是通过无与伦比的加密组合和点对点网络创建的。那么它如何为我们提供价值？

The heart of Bitcoin is a new form of digital asset created through an unparalleled combination of encryption and point-to-point networks. So how does it provide us with value?

如果你要汇钱到国外，无论通过银行电汇或网上服务，你都必须支付一定的银行服务费或交易费用，事实上，资金只是从一个账户转移到另一个账户，可为什么你会损失一定的钱呢？

If you want to transfer money abroad, whether through bank wire transfers or online services, you have to pay for a certain amount of banking services or transaction costs. In fact, funds are only transferred from one account to another, but why do you lose a certain amount of money?

但比特币就不一样了。它不属于任何国家或机构或个人，它不受监管，任何有互联网连接的人都可以得到它，你只需点击几下鼠标，它就可以自由转移到世界任何地方。

But Bitcoin is different. It's not a country or an institution or a person, it's not regulated, it's accessible to anyone with an Internet connection, you just click a few mouse clicks, and it can move freely anywhere in the world.

或许你又会问，怎么保证它的安全性，这不是一个骗局呢？这不得不提到一个专业名词：区块链，它是比特币所依赖的基础技术。你可以把它当作是分类帐本，记录着网络上发生的每一笔交易，所有上网的人都可以访问，当任何人发起新的交易（发送或接收比特币）时，交易将通过区块链进行验证。区块链最大程度地解决了人与人之间信任的问题。

Perhaps you will ask how to ensure its safety, which is not a fraud. This has to be mentioned as a professional term: the block chain, which is the basic technology on which Bitcoin relies. You can use it as a ledger to record every transaction that occurs on the network, which can be accessed by everyone on the Internet, and when anyone initiates a new transaction (to send or receive bitcoin), the transaction will be validated through the block chain. The block chain solves the question of trust between people to the greatest extent possible.

比特币类似于黄金，可以认为是数字黄金，比特币的供应量有限（最多2100万个，目前已开采1670万），挖掘将变得越来越困难。正是由于供应有限，许多人认为这是一种价值储备。因此挖矿（增加新的比特币）和投资比特币成为近一年非常热门的话题。

Bitcoin, similar to gold, can be considered digital gold, with a limited supply of bitcoin (up to 21 million, currently mined at 16.7 million), which will become increasingly difficult to dig. It is precisely because of limited supply that many view as a valuable reserve.

由于比特币的影响越来越大，世界各国政府已经介入，规范比特币交易，以便它可以成为金融体系中较为成熟的一部分。在中国，已经明令金融机构和支付机构不得开展与比特币相关的业务，以规避比特币交易中间的一些违法行为。

Because of the growing influence of bitcoin, governments around the world have intervened to regulate bitcoin transactions so that it can become a more mature part of the financial system. In China, financial institutions and payment agencies have been explicitly instructed not to carry out operations related to bitcoin in order to avoid some of the irregularities in bitcoin transactions.

比特币与人民币，美元，英镑等货币不同，比特币是一种网络虚拟货币，而且是去中心化的虚拟货币，像Q币也是虚拟币，但它是中心化的，也就是说它是受到监管的，而比特币不同，比特币是去中心化的虚拟货币，也就是说它不受中心监管的，它依据特定算法，通过大量的计算产生。我个人而言，这就是美国收割羊毛的工具。大家都不要碰它

Bitcoin is a virtual online currency, unlike renminbi, dollars, pounds sterling, and is a decentralised virtual currency, like a virtual currency, but it's central, that is, it's regulated, and Bitcoin, unlike a decentralized virtual currency, that is, it's not controlled by the centre, it's generated by a large number of calculations, based on a particular algorithm. This is, for me personally, a tool for the United States to harvest wool. No one should touch it.

2008年，中本聪发表题为“比特币：一种点对点的电子现金系统”的白皮书，从此宣告了比特币的诞生。 首先请留意白皮书的标题核心“点对点”和“电子现金”。

In 2008, China launched a white paper entitled “bitcoin: an electronic cash system for point-to-point” which declared the birth of Bitcoin. First, note the core “point-to-point” and “electronic cash” of the title of the white paper.

1.什么是“点对点”

What is a “point to point”

点对点就是指比特币系统不需要一个特定的服务器，例如我们登陆微信，需要连接腾讯的微信服务器，登陆淘宝，需要连接阿里的淘宝服务器，但是如果这些中心化的服务器关闭了怎么办呢？其答案就是我们没办法登陆微信或者是淘宝了。而比特币“点对点”的网络结构，并不依赖某个或者是某一群特定的服务器，可以这样理解，比特币系统，每一个参与者既是用户也是一部“服务器”，因此某个组织或者某个人是无法控制比特币的，也无法篡改比特币交易记录的。所以说比特币是“去中心化”的数字货币。

Point-to-point means that the Bitcoin system does not need a specific server, for example, we're on micro-mail, we're on a tether server, we're on a pedestal, we're on a pedestal, and we're on a pedestal, but what if these centralised servers shut down? The answer is that we can't access micro-letters or treasures. And the Bitcoin “point-to-point” network structure, which does not depend on one or a particular set of servers, can be understood as the Bitcoin system, in which each participant is both a user and a “server”, so an organization or person cannot control Bitcoin or alter the Bitcoin transaction record. So, Bitcoin is a digital currency that is “decentricized”.

2.电子现金

2. Electronic cash

顾名思义，比特币从诞生那天起就有取代传统货币的野心，想成为未来真正的货币，按照中本聪的算法设计，比特币的总量是恒定的，总共2100万个，比特币发行不依靠某个机构，它是依据特定的算法进行计算产生，产生过程也称为“挖矿”。同时比特币每四年“产量”减半，因此比特币不会面临货币超发的现象。目前房价居高不下的原因之一就是货币超发。在2008年，中国的广义货币M2总量只有47万亿，而现在在2017年已经达到了174万亿，货币总量就增加了近3倍，这也是过去10年全国房价实际涨幅平均达到3倍以上的主要原因。

By definition, Bitcoin had the ambition to replace traditional currencies from the very day of its birth, and wanted to become a real currency in the future. One of the reasons for the current high housing prices was that China’s broad currency M2 was designed to be a constant, with a total of 21 million, issued without relying on an institution, based on a particular algorithm, and produced a process called “mining.” One of the main reasons was that it was reduced by half every four years, so that Bitcoin did not face currency overhang. In 2008, China’s broad currency M2 was only 47 trillion, and now reached 174 billion in 2017, and the total was nearly three times higher, which was the main reason for the average increase in real house prices in the last 10 years.

比特币（BitCoin）是一种数字货币。比特币的概念最初由中本聪在2009年提出。

Bitcoin is a digital currency. The concept of Bitcoin was originally proposed by China Harbour in 2009.

比特币不依靠特定货币机构发行，它依据特定算法，通过大量的计算产生。比特币无法通过大量制造比特币来人为操控币值，并且比特币只能被真实的拥有者转移或支付。这同样确保了货币所有权与流通交易的匿名性。比特币的总数量非常有限。该货币系统曾在4年内只有不超过1050万个，之后的总数量将被永久限制在2100万个，所以比特币是不会出现通货膨胀的。

Bitcoin is not issued by a specific monetary institution, and it is generated by a large number of calculations based on a particular algorithm. Bitcoin cannot be artificially controlled by making bitcoin in large quantities, and bitcoin can only be transferred or paid by a true owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The total amount of bitcoins is very limited. The monetary system was not more than 10.5 million in four years, and the total number will be permanently limited to 21 million, so there is no inflation in bitcoins.

2010年5月22日，美国佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔的程序员Laszlo Hanyecz，用 10000 BTC 购买了价值25美元的披萨。这是现实世界中第一笔比特币交易。

On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, Programmer, Jacksonville, Florida, United States, bought a 25-dollar pizza with 10000 BTC. This is the first bitcoin deal in the real world.

由于比特币流通交易的匿名性，在全球的暗网里被广泛使用，被用于购买枪械、毒品、杀人等犯罪行为。

Because of the anonymity of Bitcoin circulation transactions, they are widely used in the global dark web for criminal acts such as the purchase of firearms, drugs and homicides.

比特币的价值主要体现在人们对它的认可，如果某一天全世界的人全部不认可比特币，那么比特币也就不再有任何价值，只会成为一串代码。

The value of Bitcoin is largely reflected in its recognition, and if one day all the world does not accept Bitcoin, then bitcoin will no longer be of any value and will only become a string of codes.

一种基于区块链技术，

It's a block chain-based technology.

衍生出来的虚拟货币。

The resulting virtual currency.

因为数量有限，每年产生的货币都在大幅度减少，所以价值很高，

Due to the limited amount of money generated each year, the amount of money generated is significantly reduced and is therefore of high value.

再加上炒作等商业手段，比特币的价格起伏不定！

The price of bitcoin is on the rise!

区块链技术，简单来说，就是去中心化，

Block chain technology, to put it simply, is to go to the centre.

不再以政府等机关为中心，人人都可以成为中心，

It is no longer centred on government or other bodies, and everyone can become a centre.

或许再未来就会以一种新的方式，

Perhaps the future will be in a new way.

人们进行交易，越过政府等相关部门，

People trade across government and other relevant sectors.

区块链技术就是提供这样的一种环境！

Block chain technology is an environment like this!

类似于比特币这种的虚拟货币，

A virtual currency like Bitcoin.

已经出现很多了。

There's been a lot of it.

例如以太币等，

It's like the Ethercopic, for example.

通俗来讲就是不同的公司利用区块链技术研发出来的，按照一定的无法更改的算法，产生的一种虚拟货币，而且再源源不断的产生，只是数量慢慢减少，一直到无穷小。

Generally speaking, different companies have developed, using block chain technology, a virtual currency based on a certain unalterable algorithm, and re-generation has only slowly decreased in number to an infinite size.

现在国内的一些企业。也在推出基于区块链技术的 游戏 。

Some companies in the country are now running games based on block chain technology.

莱茨狗啊。等。

Letts dog. Wait.

都是一种方式，会产生他们自己的虚拟货币。

It's all one way to generate their own virtual currency.

通过让莱茨狗进行所谓的工作等。

By letting the Leats dog do so-called work, etc.

来产生虚拟货币，实行算法的计算，

To create a virtual currency, to calculate algorithms,

而且数量会越来越少。所以会有升值现象的发生。

And it's going to be smaller and smaller. So there's going to be an appreciation.

只是目前国内虚拟货币的价值还没有那么高，需要慢慢涨。

It is just that the value of domestic virtual currencies is not as high as it currently is and needs to increase slowly.

有兴趣的人可以注册一下，玩起来。

Interested people can sign up and play.

当然之所以区块链技术会提供安全的环境。

Of course, block chain technology provides a safe environment.

是因为它会收集你的信息。而且是无法更改的事实。

It's because it collects your information. It's a fact that can't be changed.

所以人们才会通过区块链技术的产生而绝对的信任，从而提供一个前所未有你大环境！

That's why people have absolute confidence through the generation of block chain technology, thus providing an environment you've never had before!

随着 比特币的大涨 ， 比特币再度成为热门谈资，关于这种神奇货币的 故事 和 段子也再度被人挖出来。

With Bitcoin's huge rise ,

马上就有土豪出来拉仇恨了：“好几年之前花了三十万买了4000个比特币，在上周的时候找回来了。真是明天与意外哪个先来。”

Soon there's a twat coming out of hate: "A few years ago, 300,000 dollars were spent on buying 4000 bitcoins, which came back last week. It's really tomorrow and which one of the surprises comes first."

当然，有人得意就有人失意，高晓松最近就发了条微博说，老哥们儿几年前和他一个同学一起以几毛钱一个的价格，买了两万个比特币，当时他俩为防对方单独买卖，设计了一个复杂的密码，两人各记一半，只有两人一起输密码才能登录。结果去年他的同学去国外 旅游 出车祸去世了。今天比特币涨到了19340美元一个。他以半百高龄又去创业了。

And, of course, some people were upset, and Go Xiaozon recently posted a tweet saying that a couple of years ago, with one of his classmates, bought 20,000 bitcoins at a price of a few cents, and that they had designed a complex code to prevent each other from buying and selling it alone, and that only two of them would be able to do it together. As a result, his classmates went abroad last year to travel, and died in a car accident. Today, Bitcoin went up to $19340. He started a business at half a hundred years old.

那么，究竟什么是比特币呢？

比特币本质上就是一堆复杂算法所生成的特解。特解是指方程组所能得到无限个(但是比特币是有限个)解中的一组。而每一个特解都能解开方程并且是唯一的。通俗来说：比特币可以看作，有一个发明了一个方程式，而这个方程式有2100万的解，但是解开这个方程式需要巨大的运算能力，如果你猜对了这个方程式就可以获得一个解，这个解就是比特币。

Bitcoin is essentially a conundrum of complex algorithms. The solution is an infinite set of equations (but bitcoin is limited). And each one solves the equation and is the only one. In general terms, Bitcoin can be seen as having an inventable equation, and this equation has a 21 million solution, but it takes a great deal of computing power to solve it, and if you guess the equation correctly, you can get a solution, which is Bitcoin.

拿人民币来比喻的话，比特币就相当于人民币序列号，你知道了纸币上的序列号，你就拥有了这张钞票。

By analogy, Bitcoin is the serial number of the renminbi, and you know the serial number on the banknote, and you own it.

又有人问了，凭什么我知道了号码，这钱就是我的?如果我把钱花出去，脑子里还记着号码，那钱不还是我的?

Another question is, why do I know the number? That's my money? If I spend the money and I remember the number in my head, it's not mine?

不行。

I can't.

比特币网络是一个在线系统，离开了比特币网络一点用处也没有，换句话说，把比特币比作下片的种子，比特币网络比作下载用的网络，没网了，留你一大把种子也下不到啥！

The Bitcoin Network is an online system that has no use leaving the Bitcoin Network. In other words, the Bitcoin Network is compared to the seed of the film, the Bitcoin Network is compared to the download network. It's out.

比特币网络被设计成了一种分布式存储数据库，数据库面向所有人公开：每一个比特币钱包都是一个节点，这些节点用类似于 BT 下载的 P2P 网络相连，记录着全世界所有人比特币钱包里的数据。

The Bitcoin network has been designed as a distributed storage database open to all: every Bitcoin wallet is a node linked to a P2P network similar to that downloaded by BT, recording data in the Bitcoin wallets of everyone around the world.

每当你发起一次交易的时候，都会向整个比特币网发出广播：

Every time you start a deal, you broadcast to the entire Bitcoin network:

“我是节点 A，有特解 123，现在要转账给节点(钱包)B”

"I'm Node A, specializing in 123, and now I'm going to transfer to Node B."

其他节点收到这个信息与自己的本地数据库进行比对，回应：

Other nodes received this information against their own local databases, responding:

“经过计算，这确实是个解，而且我看到了 A 是有 123，B 节点也存在，我承认这笔交易。”

"Arily calculated, this is indeed a solution, and I see that A has 123, B nodes exist, and I admit the deal."

当确认的节点数达到一定量的时候，交易就OK了。

When the number of nodes identified reaches a certain level, the transaction is OK.

接下来，越来越多的节点收到了这个消息，并且没有人提出异议，这个交易记录就被整个比特币网络所接受，从此特解 123 成为了 B 钱包里的所有物。

As a result, more and more nodes received this information, and no objections were raised, the record of the transaction was accepted by the entire Bitcoin network and since then 123 has become everything in the B wallet.

但是，比特币网络有一定的容错机制，可以保证即便是有一定的欺诈者和捣乱者也不会影响到整个网络的运转。

However, the Bitcoin network has a fault tolerance mechanism that ensures that even some fraudsters and spoilers do not affect the functioning of the network as a whole.

为什么这么多人投机逐此利呢？

以往比特币还是作为互联网的虚拟货币存在，但是在现在越来越具有现实货币的一些支付功能，这就导致许多新兴的矿工出现。

Bitcoin used to exist as a virtual currency on the Internet, but it is now increasingly having some payment functions in real currency, which has led to the emergence of many emerging miners.

所谓矿工就是采购市面上的主流显卡配置，然后再备上矿机，将众多显卡放在一起，进行集成运算，一般来说，主流的显卡配置，例如GTX1060，在一个月内就可以回本，也就是在一个月之后就是处于一个纯利润的空间，这也是为什么许多的矿工对此趋之若鹜。

The so-called miners are the mainstream card configuration on the procurement market, which is then equipped with a mine machine, which combines a large number of cards for integrated calculations. In general, mainstream card configurations, such as TTX1060, can be returned within a month, that is, one month later, in a purely profitable space, which is why many miners tend to do so.

如果发生矿难，也就是比特币大量贬值，矿工就会将手里的显卡快速出手，导致市面上许多翻新的显卡和二手显卡。对于众多矿工来说，显卡较为保值，这是一个稳赚不赔的生意。

In the event of a mine disaster, that is, a massive devaluation of bitcoin, miners quickly exit their cards, leading to many refurbished cards and second-hand cards on the market. For many miners, the cards are more valuable, and this is a profitable business.

但是，比特币没有信用背书，只有稀缺唯一性，比特币是投机的好品种， 比特币价格波动大，高收益必然伴随着高风险， 却不是好的属于普通人的投资的渠道。

But bitcoin has no credit endorsement, it's only a rare one, bitcoin is a good type of speculation, bitcoin prices are highly volatile, and high returns are necessarily accompanied by high risks, but it's not a good channel for ordinary people to invest.

毕竟比特币的性质与其他资产不同，未来究竟是不是泡沫，会不会破灭，这是完全未知领域。比特币带来的一市场乱象，影响国内经济的正常运行，所以央行才会如此打击比特币的热潮。

After all, the nature of Bitcoin, unlike other assets, is whether the future is bubbles or not, which is entirely unknown. A market mess brought about by Bitcoin affects the normal functioning of the domestic economy, so that central banks can strike the Bitcoin boom.

用一句话来总结，这玩意就是在美元无法大幅度薅羊毛的情况下，美帝新创制的吸引资本回流的工具。

To sum up, this is a new tool created by the United States Emperor to attract capital flows when the dollar is unable to make a significant amount of wool.
