【比特币简介】
Bitcoin (BTC) is a digital currency. Bitcoins can be transferred through a computer or
smartphone without an intermediate financial institution.
比特币是一种数字货币,不需第三方金融监管机构介入,便可在电脑或智能手机上进行商业交易。
The processing of bitcoin transactions is automated by servers called bitcoin miners.
These servers communicate over an internet-based network and confirm transactions by
adding them to a ledger which is updated and archived periodically.
比特币交易过程由称作“挖矿工”的终端用户自动运作,他们分布在网络系统的各个节点(即参与流通
渠道维护的所有终端)。在交易时,对每一个货币的来源进行追溯,每进行一次交易,就多记录一次流
通信息,并在点对点网络上进行广播,使得所有节点都保存有全部货币的全部流通信息。
Bitcoin is accepted in trade by various merchants and individuals in many parts of the
world. A large share of such commercial use is believed to be for illicit drug and
gambling transactions. Although bitcoin is promoted as a digital currency, many
commentators have criticized Bitcoin's volatile market value, relatively inflexible
supply, and minimal use in trade.
比特币已经在全球多个地方被商家及个人所接受。但有人怀疑比特币涉及到毒品赌博等非法交易。尽管
已成为一种数字货币,但很多评论家都批评比特币市场价格波动太大,供应不够灵活,交易涉及面太窄
。
