Bitcoin, the decentralised, mainly digital currencythat is neither issued nor guaranteed by centralbanks, has always seemed like a magic trick. Ratherthan spinning straw into gold it transforms wastedcomputing power into money that people will actuallyaccept as payment.
比特币(Bitcoin)——一种既非各国央行发行、也不受其担保的分散化、(主要)数字化的货币——一直像是某种魔术手法。不同于将稻草变成黄金,比特币将多余的运算能力转换成人们将接受作为支付方式的金钱。
