如今,全世界比特币的使用日益频繁。对于国内普通大众而言,比特币受到关注则是雅安地震。在雅安地震发生后的第二天,壹基金合作发展部总监霍庆川在微博上发布了这样一条消息:“壹基金雅安地震比特币捐赠地址:1DUMifqLdCRvx6tAzafwDC2tKRntRAAm3z 已经收到意向捐赠50Btc(按照今日汇率,折合人民币4万),我们会委托中国比特币公社出售募捐到的比特币。欢迎极客和骇客们向壹基金捐赠比特币。这是中国第一个接受比特币捐赠的NGO,比特币也第一次在中国成为捐赠物。
截止到2013年4月24日,壹基金合作发展部总监霍庆川和比特币中国的官方微博显示,壹基金已经收到233个比特币,折合人民币将近22万元。那么,到底什么是比特币呢?
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。
