势不可挡的比特币价格亮瞎眼睛，两周前，比特币遭遇了硬分叉（hard fork），但基本上没有受到影响。一个名为“比特币现金”的比特币复制品被创造出来，但是获得的关注度远不及多数人的预期。几天后，比特币锁定“隔离见证”，为区块释放了更多空间，允许每个区块存储更多交易。 据国内比特币交易平台火币网数据显示，8月13日16时左右，比特币价格达2.7998万元/个，这已是上周第五次刷新历史高位。与此同时，国外比特币价格也在飙升。根据海外比特币交易平台CoinDesk行情显示，比特币价格在8月12日达到4000.93美元/个。相关人士测算，比特币目前市值约为640亿美元。
A bitcoin replica called “bitcoin cash” was created, but received much less attention than most people expected. A few days later, Bitcoin locked up a “segregation witness” and released more space for each block to store more transactions. According to data from the national Bitcoin trading platform, the price of Bitcoin was approximately $279.98 million at 16 August, which was the fifth time that it had been painted in history last week.
比特币疯狂走势还在继续。受全球政策利好消息影响，海外比特币价格再创新高，突破4000美元。同时，国内比特币价格突破2.7万元，并逼近2.8万元大关，继续创出历史新高。分析人士看来，比特币这一波疯涨有泡沫成分存在，未来仍有回调风险，投资者需警惕。
At the same time, the domestic price of Bitcoin has passed 27,000 dollars and is close to 28,000 dollars, continuing to rise to historic heights. According to analysts, the boom in Bitcoin has a foam component, and there is a risk of future rewinding, and investors need to be vigilant.

比特币暴涨原因之一就是首次公开售币（ICO）的火爆。近期市场通过ICO筹集的资金已经超过了通过早期风投筹集的资金。就在上周，区块链数据存储网络Filecoin在几个小时内就融资1.8亿美元。多数投资者必须把法定货币转化为比特币或者其它加密货币，以参与ICO交易，这可能会推高比特币的价格，让一些投资者首次投资比特币。
Just last week, the block-chain data storage network Filecoin financed $180 million in a few hours. Most investors have to convert the legal currency into bitco or other encrypted currency to participate in ICO transactions, which could push bitco prices up and allow some investors to invest bitco for the first time.
还有一个原因就是华尔街最近迷上了比特币。财经频道CNBC不到5分钟就会有交易员或者分析师发表他们对于比特币的观点，就好像它会成为“今年最佳投资”一样。无论是好是坏，这些讨论正让非技术倾向的投资者对比特币产生兴趣，其中一些人肯定首次购买了比特币。
Another reason is that Wall Street has recently been fascinated by Bitcoin. The finance channel CNBC will have traders or analysts in less than five minutes to publish their views on Bitcoin, as if it would be “the best investment this year.”
比特币由于广阔的前景和巨大的遐想空间，自2009年诞生后价格呈次方式的上涨，2011年币价达到1美元，2013年最达到1200美元，首次超过1盎司黄金价格，便有了“数字黄金”的美称。
Bitcoin, because of its vast prospects and vast imaginations, has seen prices rise in the same way since its birth in 2009, reaching $1 in 2011 and $1,200 in 2013, the first time exceeding the price of 1 ounce of gold, giving it the aphrodisiac of “digital gold”.
今年以来，比特币涨幅已经超过200%，仅8月就增长了45%。对于比特币屡次刷新历史新高的原因，苏宁金融研究院高级研究员薛洪言表示，主要的原因还是最近隔离见证协议成功被锁定，隔离见证协议可以间接提升比特币区块链的区块容量，还提升了其扩展性，使得后续部署闪电网络等新特性成为可能，提高了比特币的想象空间。
Bitcoin has increased by more than 200% since this year, a 45% increase in August alone. For the reasons why Bitcoin has repeatedly updated its history, Senior Researcher Xue Hong said that the main reason is that the isolation witness agreement has recently been successfully locked, that it can indirectly increase the size of the bitcoin block chain, and that it has also increased its expansion, making possible the subsequent deployment of new features, such as lightning networks, and increasing Bitcoin’s imagination.
印度等国家的认可也让比特币更受投资者欢迎，比特币价格一路走高。
Recognition by countries such as India has also made bitcoin more popular among investors, with bitcoin prices rising all the way.
自8月7日以来，全球利好比特币消息层出不穷。乌克兰表示计划于2017年在当地安装150台比特币ATM。韩国正式推出了概述比特币等数字资产监管框架的法案。随着近期比特币价格上涨，高盛等权威机构近期频繁发布报告，认可比特币的投资价值。
With recent price increases in Bitcoin, authorities like Goldman Sachs have recently issued frequent reports recognizing the value of Bitcoin’s investments.
火币区块链研究中心表示，比特币隔离见证扩容方案已经锁定，并即将激活。8月8日18时55分，在第479707个区块，隔离见证正式锁定。这意味着，如果不出意外，再过约两周时间隔离见证将被正式激活。一旦隔离见证被激活，比特币单个区块能容纳的交易数量增多，比特币网络转账拥堵问题也将得到一定缓解。同时，隔离见证可以修复交易可锻性，进而可以让比特币区块链能够添加更多的新技术，如闪电网络。
At 1855 hours on 8 August, at block 479707, the isolation witness was officially locked. This means that, if there is no accident, the isolation witness will be officially activated for about two weeks. Once the isolation witness is activated, the volume of transactions that Bitcoin individual blocks can accommodate will be reduced to some extent.
比特币开始得到更多国家和更多人的认可与支持，也为比特币的大涨提供了重要支撑。火币区块链研究中心表示，近日，全球比特币行业利好消息频传，各国正在加速明朗化比特币的管理方案，助推了全球比特币价格屡创历史新高。
Bitcoin has begun to gain greater recognition and support from more countries and people, and it has also provided an important boost to the surge in bitcoin. The Coal Block Chain Research Center has stated that in recent days, good news has spread in the world’s Bitcoin industry, and countries are accelerating the process of delineating Bitcoin’s management, which has helped to boost the price of bitcoins around the world to the highest levels ever.

比特币的创始人是一个代号叫“中本聪”的人，在谈及这位创始人的真正身份的时候，总是围绕着一层神秘的色彩。有人说这是一个公司，也有人说这是一个大学教授，甚至有人说他是从未来穿越过来的人，因为他所提出的去中心化理念实在是超前太多了。不过他的真实身份至今不为外界所知，尽管这个代号由日语衍生而来，但中本聪本人在网络上发表比特币论文的时候使用英语相当纯熟，这也在一定程度了让其真实身份更难被揭穿。
The founder of Bitcoin is a person called “Middle-Hear” who, when speaking of his true identity, always has a mysterious colour. Some say it's a company, some say it's a university professor, or even a person who says he travels from the future, because his idea of decentralization is far too much ahead. But his true identity is not known to the outside world, and although it is derived from Japanese, he is quite well-versed in English when he publishes his bitco papers on the Internet, which in some ways makes it more difficult to expose his true identity.
从官方的概念解释来讲，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。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。简单来讲，比特币就是通过计算机复杂运算之后所得出的一串代码。
By official conceptual interpretation, bitcoin is a digital currency in the form of P2P. Point-to-point transmission means a decentralised payment system. Unlike most currencies, bitcoin is not issued by a specific monetary institution, but is generated by a large number of calculations based on a particular algorithm.
这个运算背后的技术十分复杂，笔者也不是专业的IT从业者。不过通俗的来讲比特币是如何产生的，我们可以用数学问题当中最为普遍的方程式来解释。假设现在有一个十分难解答的方程式，它一共有2100万个解，任何人只要能解出一个解，那他就可以被奖励得到相应的比特币。
The technology behind this calculation is complex, and I'm not a professional IT practitioner. But popularly speaking, how bitcoin is generated, we can explain it by using the formula that is most common among mathematical questions. Assuming there is a very difficult equation, with 21 million solutions, he can be rewarded with a corresponding bitcoin if anyone can solve one.
正因为这个方程式解的数量恒定，也就意味着比特币的数量将会稳定在2100万个左右，这也从根本上避免了比特币通胀现象的出现，为其作为货币进行交易提供了先决条件。
The constant number of equations means that the number of bitcoins will stabilize at around 21 million, which essentially avoids the emergence of bitcoin inflation and provides a precondition for its trading as a currency.
比特币的价格走势虽然存在部分投机者炒作的成分，但总体来看还是伴随着其本身价值的上升而上升。而升值的根本原因还是来源于比特币在现代金融市场中的作用越来越重要。
Bitcoin’s price trends, despite the component of speculation, have generally been accompanied by an increase in its own value. The underlying cause of appreciation is also the growing importance of Bitcoin’s role in modern financial markets.
比特币拥有得天独厚的优势，正如硬币的正反面一样，作为这样一种“超新星” 的货币，在发展的过程中自然也会受到来自多方的争议。从本质上讲，还是越来越多的人对于区块链技术的认同，觉得去中心化之一理论是未来的发展的大趋势。
Bitcoin has a unique advantage, and, just as the coins are positive and negative, it is natural that the development of a currency such as a “supernova” is subject to controversy from many quarters. In essence, it is still more and more people who agree with block chain technology that one of the theories of decentralization is a big trend in the future.
纸质货币用政府信用来保持此一般等价物的信用，而比特则是用数学的算法来保证信用。该信政府还是数学？明显比特币信徒们信的是后者。
Paper money uses government credit to keep credit for this generic equivalent, while Bitt uses mathematical algorithms to guarantee credit. The government is still mathematics. It is obvious that Bitcoins believe in the latter.
官方机构大多都认为比特币存在炒作的嫌疑，比如各国央行。
Most official agencies consider Bitcoin to be a suspect, such as central banks.
首先韩国央行官方宣布拒绝比特币的官方地位，俄罗斯对比特币的态度同样十分强硬，荷兰官方更是警告公众注意防范比特币的风险。泰国官方是全球首个全面禁止交易比特币的国家。美国商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）只是将比特币定义为大宗商品，同黄金，原油，小麦一样。
First, the Central Bank of Korea’s official announcement of its rejection of Bitcoin’s official status is equally strong in Russia, and the Dutch official alerts the public to the risks of Bitcoin. Thai official is the first country in the world to have a total ban on trading Bitcoin.
客观地说，比特币像现钞一样，被用于各种非法用途，但归根结底，这并不是比特币本身的过错。正所谓“水能载舟，亦能覆舟”，事物本身不分对错，在于使用者是如何正确地使用。
Objectively, bitcoin is used for various illegal purposes like cash, but ultimately it is not Bitcoin’s own fault. Exactly what is called “a water can carry a ship, but a ship,” and what is in itself right and wrong, is how the user uses it correctly.
