真假比特币之父：“中本聪”到底是谁？

2008年11月1日，“中本聪”在一个隐秘的密码学讨论小组上发表了一篇研究报告，其中首次提出了比特币的概念。2009年，全球首款比特币算法软件出现，在此后短短4年里，比特币价格出现成百甚至上千倍的增长，巨大的吸引力令其他投资标的都黯然失色。

On November 1, 2008, “ Nakamoto & rdquo; published a study at a secret cryptography discussion group, which first introduced the concept of bitcoin. In 2009, the first global bitcoin algorithm software appeared, and in the next four years, Bitcoin prices increased hundreds or even thousands of times, with huge attractions overshadowing other investment targets.

作为比特币的创造者，“中本聪”不仅掌握着最核心的技术，同时因其拥有着约100万个比特币所带来的巨大财富（目前1个比特币价格约为2970元人民币），更增加了人们对他真实身份的好奇与猜测。

As the creator of Bitcoin, & ldquo; Nakamoto and & rdquo; not only mastering the most core technology, but also possessing the enormous wealth of about 1 million bitcoins (currently about RMB 2970 per bitcoin per bit) add to the curiosity and speculation about his true identity.

5月2日，赖特向几大境外媒体公开表示，他就是所谓的比特币创始人“中本聪”，一时间激起市场热议。

On 2 May, Wright publicly stated to several major foreign media outlets that he was the so-called founder of Bitcoin & ldquo; Chinabone & rdquo; and a time to stir up the market.

今年46岁的赖特，是一名计算机科学家，同时也是一位企业家，他曾在2015年比特币投资者大会上自我介绍时称，他曾是一位学者，从事商业研究，拥有法律博士和统计学硕士学位。

This year's 46-year-old Wright, a computer scientist and also an entrepreneur, described himself at the 2015 Bitcoin Investors Conference as a scholar, engaged in business research and held a doctorate in law and a master's degree in statistics.

国外主流媒体称，赖特通过使用属于比特币创始人所拥有的比特币，从技术角度对自己的“中本聪”身份进行了证实。赖特也公开表示，作出公开自己身份的决定并不容易，而促使自己澄清事实的原因是，他对自己工作的热爱和关心，“希望借此消除围绕比特币的不实传说和担忧”。

According to mainstream media abroad, Wright has confirmed his & & & & & & & & & ; identity from a technical point of view by using bitcoin belonging to the founder of Bitcoin. Wright has also publicly stated that it is not easy to make a decision to reveal his identity, and that the reason why he is trying to clarify the facts is because of his love and interest in his work, & & & & rdquao; he hopes that this will remove false rumors and fears surrounding bitcoin.

正当互联网世界对于赖特的真实身份争论不休时，剧情出现重大转折。

At a time when the Internet world continues to argue about the true identity of Wright, there has been a major turn in the story.

5月6日，赖特突然发表题为《我很抱歉》的公开信，表示自己“没有勇气”继续证明自己是“中本聪”的身份。

On 6 May, Wright suddenly published an open letter entitled " I am sorry ", stating that he & & & & & & & & & & & & & & ; continues to prove that he is & & & & & & & & ; identity.

“我曾相信我能够结束过去数年的隐匿和躲藏。但是，随着过去一周事件的发酵，我原本准备公布我拥有初始区块的证据，可我受不了了。我没有这个勇气，我做不到。”赖特说。

& ldquo; I believed that I could put an end to the hiding and hiding of the past few years. But, with the fermentation of the events of the past week, I was prepared to publish evidence of my initial block, but I couldn't stand it. I didn't have the courage, I couldn't. ” Wright said.

赖特在公开身份时曾表示，自己不要钱，也不想出名，更不想被崇拜，只想一个人待着。李启元则对《第一财经日报》记者表示，如果真如其所言“想要过自己的生活”，为何突然选择曝光自己的身份呢?

In an open identity, Wright said that he did not want to be rich, not to be famous, not to be worshipped, but to be alone. Li Qi won said to the Journalist of the First Book that if he did, & & ldquao; wanted to live his life & rdquao; why suddenly did he choose to reveal his identity?

显然，赖特的出现并没有彻底终结“中本聪”之谜，而投资者更为关心的是，“中本聪”的现身对于比特币价格将带来什么影响？

Obviously, the appearance of Wright has not completely ended the mystery of &ldquao; & & & rdquao; & & ldquao; & the investor's more concerned about & & & & & rdquao; and what will the presence have on bitcoin prices?

区块链铅笔创始人龚鸣对《第一财经日报》记者表示：“中本聪”的身份不会对市场带来实质性影响，更多的是象征意义。除非“中本聪”大量抛售手中的比特币，否则不会对比特币价格带来影响，“从2009年到现在来看，‘中本聪’不是一个对金钱很有欲望的人，不会因为币值的高低而买卖比特币”。

Nina, the founder of the block pencil, said to the Journal of First Money: & ldquo; Bint Bint & rdquo; identity will not have a substantial impact on the market, much more symbolic significance. Unless “ Bintun & rdquo; the price of bitcoins sold in large quantities, &ldquao; from 2009 to the present, ‘ Bint Bint ’ and not a man who has a strong desire for money and does not buy and sell bitcoin & rdquo because of the value of the currency.

近日，瑞士小镇楚格（Zug）宣布，从今年7月1日起，将允许买家以比特币作为支付方式为其公众服务买单。虽然这种支付方式在适用范围和金额上还存在很大局限性，但小小的进步足以让比特币的坚定看好者欢欣鼓舞。

Recently, Zug, a Swiss town, announced that, as of 1 July of this year, buyers would be allowed to pay for their public services in bitcoin. While there are significant limitations in the scope of application and the amount of such payments, little progress is enough to please the hard-to-gooder bitcoin.

从最开始只能在网络上购买虚拟物品，到现在可以兑换成多国货币，比特币一路走来波折不断。

From the very beginning, virtual items can only be purchased on the Internet, until now they can be converted into multinational currencies, with bitcoin moving all the way.

2014年2月，当时全球最大的比特币交易平台Mt.Gox称，因遭遇大规模黑客攻击，导致比特币失窃，损失总价达4.7亿美元，平台宣告破产。受此影响，比特币价格仅在几秒钟内就从600多美元暴跌至102美元，跌幅达83%。

In February 2014, Mt. Gox, the then largest bitcoin trading platform in the world, claimed that Bitcoin had been stolen and lost $470 million as a result of large-scale hacker attacks, and that the platform had been declared bankrupt. As a result, Bitcoin prices fell sharply from over $600 to $102 in just a few seconds, a drop of 83 per cent.

2015年1月，作为全球最可靠的比特币交易平台之一的Bitstamp遭黑客攻击，导致至少500万美元的比特币被盗，引起部分加密货币持有者的恐慌。比特币的开放性与安全性引发行业担忧。在负面消息层出时，比特币终于迎来监管机构的认可。

In January 2015, Bitstamp, one of the most reliable bitcoin trading platforms in the world, was hit by hackers, leading to the theft of at least $5 million in bitcoin, causing panic among some of the encrypted money holders. Bitcoin’s openness and security raised industry concerns.

2015年9月，美国商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）首次确认将比特币和其他虚拟货币定义为大宗商品，这意味着比特币被归类为像黄金和石油一样的商品，交易行为将遵守所有大宗商品衍生品市场规则；同年10月，欧洲法院正式裁决，在欧洲比特币以及其他虚拟货币应该和传统货币一样免征增值税。因为根据欧盟的相关规定，“被用作法定货币的货币、银行票据和硬币”无需缴纳增值税。比特币向合法化迈出了坚实的一步。

In September 2015, the United States Commission on Commodity Futures Trading (CFTC) confirmed for the first time that Bitcoin and other virtual currencies were defined as bulk commodities, meaning that bitcoins were classified as commodities like gold and oil, and that transactions would be subject to all bulk commodity derivatives market rules; in October of the same year, the European Court of Justice formally ruled that Bitcoin and other virtual currencies in Europe should be exempt from value-added taxes, as should traditional currencies. Because, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the EU, “ currencies used as legal currencies, bank notes and coins & rdquao; and no value-added tax.

尽管如此，市场仍担忧曾在2013年达到历史峰值8000多元人民币的比特币能否重回往日风光？

Nevertheless, the market remains concerned about whether Bitcoin, which reached its historic peak of 8,000 yuan in 2013, will return to the sunny past.

目前，比特币价格徘徊在2900元左右，与之前的大起大落相比平稳了很多，比特币的交易量也有大幅回落。

At present, Bitcoin prices hover around $2900, which is much more stable than the previous high and high, and the volume of Bitcoin's transactions has declined significantly.

“我不认为比特币由热变冷，与2013年大幅上涨、过热相比，我认为现在才是比特币比较正常的价格，2013年从1月份的几十美元在不到一年内上涨到上千美元，透支了后面的涨幅，所以2013年后，一直在回落。”龚鸣对《第一财经日报》记者说道。

& ldquo; I don't think that bitcoin is colder from heat, and I think it's now a more normal price for bitcoin than when it rose significantly and overheated in 2013, rising from tens of dollars in January in less than a year to thousands of dollars in 2013, and then falling back after 2013.

比特币到底值多少钱？估计比特币的玩家、交易所、矿机制造商，甚至比特币的创造者都无法给出一个准确的答案。

How much is it worth? It is estimated that the players in Bitcoin, the exchange, the manufacturer of the mine, and even the creators of Bitcoin, are unable to give an accurate answer.

虽然比特币的价值无法给出定论，但有一点可以肯定的是，比特币的数量是一定的。由于比特币的“发行”须依赖复杂计算获取，因此与传统货币发行的“印钞”模式有本质区别，比特币总量按照设计预定的速率逐步增加，增加速度逐步放缓，并最终在2140年达到2100万个的极限，业内人士预计目前总量已经达到了1550万个。

Although the value of Bitcoin cannot be determined, one thing is certain that the number of bitcoin is certain. Because of the amount of bitcoin “ distribution & rdquo; reliance on complex calculations to obtain it, “ printing banknotes & rdquo; the pattern is fundamentally different, with the amount of bitcoin increasing at the planned rate of design, gradually slowing down, and eventually reaching the 21 million limit in 2140, the workforce is now expected to reach 15.5 million.

李启元认为，比特币数量有限与目前各国央行大肆印钞导致通胀与法定货币购买力下降形成鲜明对比。“比特币产生的目标不是去代替现有货币，而是变成世界上通用的数字资产，为人们的生活提供便利。”

According to Li, the limited amount of bitcoins contrasts sharply with the current trend of central banks to print banknotes that lead to inflation and a decline in the purchasing power of the legal currency. & ldquo; Bitco’s objective is not to replace the current currency, but to become a world-wide digital asset that facilitates people’s lives. & rdquao;

业内普遍预期，随着短期投机者的离场，以及比特币相关应用的不断开发、基础设施的完善，以比特币为代表的数字货币将处于良性发展阶段。

Within industry, it is generally expected that digital currency, represented by bitcoin, will be at a benign stage of development with the departure of short-term speculators and the continued development of Bitcoin-related applications and improved infrastructure.
