什么是比特币？1分钟带你认识比特币

　　近年来要说价格飙涨的资产，除了北上深的房子，就是比特币了。最近比特币价格的走势更是被严管的房产所不能比。就在5月24日，比特币价格再创新高，最高达2310美元，折合人民币约15922元。

In recent years, the price of assets that have soared in recent years, apart from the deep north, is bitcoin. The price of bitcoin has recently moved even further than that of the heavily regulated properties. On May 24, the price of bitcoin was even higher, at a maximum of US$ 2310, equivalent to approximately US$ 15922.

有人把比特币比作期货

　　比特币历史上第一次交易发生在2010年5月份，那时比特币几乎毫无价值。一位名叫Laszlo Hanyecz的程序猿花了10000个比特币订了2个披萨！那个时候，1个披萨=25美元！而10000个比特币在今天相当于RMB 一亿五千多万，天价披萨好吗？

The first trade in Bitcoin's history took place in May 2010, when Bitcoin was almost worthless. A program ape named Laszlo Hanyecz ordered two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins. At that time, a pizza = 25 dollars.

所以，你现在是不是特别想知道如何获得比特币？

So do you want to know how to get bitcoin?

那么，首先你需要你台挖矿机

Well, first you need a miner.

啊！不对，应该是下面这张↓↓↓ 而不是挖掘机

That's not true. It's the one below, not the excavator.

　　是不是看着有点眼熟？没错，就是显卡。这就要从比特币是什么说起. . . . . .

Doesn't it look familiar? Yeah, it's a card. It starts with what bitcoin is...

　　比特币（BitCoin）的概念最初由中本聪在2009年提出，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。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。

The concept of BitCoin was originally proposed by Nakamoto in 2009, designing the open source software to be released along with the P2P network on which it is based. Bitcoin is a digital currency in the form of a P2P. Point-to-point transmission means a decentralised payment system.

　　比特币与常规货币最大的不同是其总数量非常有限，有极强的稀缺性。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。这也是目前比特币非常值钱的原因之一。

The biggest difference between bitcoins and conventional currencies is that their total number is very limited and extremely scarce. The monetary system was not more than 10.5 million in four years, and the total will be permanently limited to 21 million.

　　目前比特币可以兑换成大多数国家的货币。使用者可以用比特币购买一些虚拟商品，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，现在某宝不少商家也开始接受比特币支付。

Users can buy virtual goods like clothes, caps, equipment, and so on in bitcoin. By bitcoin, if accepted, can be used to buy real-life goods, and now a lot of businesses are paying for bitcoin.

　　比特币受到热捧的原因，大致有以下6大元素：

The reason for the popularity of Bitcoin is that there are about six main elements:

　　去中心化：比特币是第一种分布式的虚拟货币，整个网络由用户构成，没有中央银行。去中心化是比特币安全与自由的保证。

Decentralization: Bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the entire network is made up of users without a central bank. Decentralization is a guarantee of bitcoin security and freedom.

　　全世界流通：比特币可以在任意一台接入互联网的电脑上管理。不管身处何方，任何人都可以挖掘、购买、出售或收取比特币。

Worldwide circulation: Bitcoin can be managed on any computer that has access to the Internet. No matter where it is, anyone can dig, buy, sell, or collect bitcoin.

　　专属所有权：操控比特币需要私钥，它可以被隔离保存在任何存储介质。除了用户自己之外无人可以获取。

Exclusive ownership: Controlling Bitcoin requires a private key that can be stored in isolation in any storage medium. No one can access it except the user itself.

　　低交易费用：可以免费汇出比特币，但最终对每笔交易将收取约1比特分的交易费以确保交易更快执行。

Low transaction costs: Bitcoin can be transferred free of charge, but eventually approximately 1 bit per transaction fee will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster execution of the transaction.

　　无隐藏成本：作为由A到B的支付手段，比特币没有繁琐的额度与手续限制。知道对方比特币地址就可以进行支付。

There are no hidden costs: Bitcoin does not have onerous limits and formalities as a means of payment from A to B. Know the other person’s Bitcoin address can be paid for.

　　跨平台挖掘：用户可以在众多平台上发掘不同硬件的计算能力。

Cross-platform excavation: Users can tap into the computing capabilities of different hardware on numerous platforms.

比特币的存在，既有别于传统货币，又不同于虚拟货币。

Bitcoin exists as distinct from both traditional and virtual currencies.

　　资本市场则更在意比特币带来的市场前景，在打破了货币制度的限制，降低市场成本基础上，比起冲击传统货币的交易方式来说，比特币这个社会试验更显得有趣。

Capital markets, on the other hand, pay more attention to the market prospects offered by bitcoin, which is a more interesting social experiment than the way in which the traditional currency is traded, based on breaking the limits of the monetary system and lowering market costs.

　　值得一提的是，比特币的生产方式使得每个人都可以成为银行家，简单来说就是用户运用大量CPU的运算能力就可以自给自足开采比特币，而人们把这类用户叫做“挖矿工”，而把这一行为称为“挖矿”，挖矿的工具显卡自然叫做“挖矿机”。即使随着“矿工”数量的添加，每个“矿洞”的开采艰难程度随之进步，但仍然有千万人纷纷涌入“挖矿大军”，挖矿越来越疯狂，最主要的原因应该就是比特币不断上涨的价格。

It is worth mentioning that Bitcoin is produced in such a way that everyone can become a banker, and simply that users can self-sufficiently exploit bitcoin using a large amount of CPU computing power, which people call “mine miners” and “diggers”, which is naturally called “mining machines.” Even as the number of “miners” increases, and the difficulty of mining every “miner” progresses, millions of people are still pouring into the “mining army” and mining is becoming increasingly crazy, most of all because of the rising prices of bitcoin.

简单说下 为什么挖比特币用显卡，而不是用CPU挖？

Let's just say, why do you dig bitcoin with a graphic card instead of a CPU?

主要原因是因为比特币所执行的任务是很简单的一个解密码的计算：

The main reason for this is that bitcoin's task is a simple cipher calculation:

　　目前主流的CPU 基本以4核心为主，可以比喻成4个大学生，而显卡的流处理器，例RX580拥有2304个流处理，可以比喻成2304个中学生。而比特币执行的解密任务很简单，就数量而言就显而易见了。

The current mainstream CPU is largely based on four cores, which can be compared to four college students, while the card flow processor, for example, RX 580, has 2304 currents, which can be compared to 2304 secondary school students. Bitcoin’s declassified tasks are simple and obvious in terms of numbers.

（RX580 GPU-Z 图 红框即为流处理器数量）

(RX580 GPU-Z Chart Red Box is the number of current processors)

　　为了提高计算机的运算能力，矿工们瞄准了高性能硬件GPU，但大量疯狂抢购显卡造成了“一卡难求”的局面，厂商供不应求无奈断货，进而导致黑市里显卡的价格高涨。更严重的是，高端主机因为没有显卡而无法装机，直接影响了该产品的销量。

To improve computer computing capabilities, miners have targeted high-performance hardware, GPU, but a large number of frenzy cards have created a “one-card-by-card” situation in which suppliers cannot afford to make ends meet, leading to high prices for black-market cards. More seriously, high-end hosts are unable to load without a visible card, which has a direct impact on the sale of the product.

显卡矿机

　　坊间传言：显卡厂商后续甚至会出只有GPU的“矿卡”，不知是否属实。面对如此大规模、专业的挖矿行列，没两把刷子我还是围观吧。

There's a rumor that card manufacturers will even release GPU-only mine cards, and I don't know if it's true. In the face of such large, professional mining, I'll look around without two brushes.
