四川比特币矿场

Sichuan Bitcoin Mine

据外媒消息，四川省已经成为全球比特币挖矿资本最聚集的地方。

According to external sources, Sichuan Province has become the largest concentration of mine capital in Bitcoin worldwide.

四川这块风水宝地早就吸引了国外资本的关注，去年澳洲当地媒体就报道过3个澳籍华人小哥来四川康定，扎根大山深处“挖矿”的新闻。

In Sichuan, which has long attracted the attention of foreign capital, the local Australian media last year reported the presence of three Chinese brothers in Sichuan Kanding, who took root at the depths of & ldquao; mining & rdquao; and the news.

而他们不远万里来中国搞“西部大开发”的原因也很简单：

And they come all the way to China to do & & & & & & & & & & & & & West; the reason is simple:

“我们需要消耗电力来生产比特币呀！”

& ldquo; we need electricity to produce bitcoin! & rdquao;

对于比特币挖矿行业来说，成本包括了比特币矿机、电费以及人工，而在这三者中间，电费有非常大的变量空间。

For the Bitcoin mining industry, costs include bitcoin machines, electricity and labour, and among these, electricity costs have a very large variable space.

现在越来越多的人选择四川作为比特币挖矿的首选地。这里不仅有非常廉价的电力，还有低密度的人口和寒冷的气候，对解决矿机噪音和散热问题有先天优势。

More and more people are choosing Sichuan as the preferred site for mining bitcoin. Not only is there very low-cost electricity, but there is also a low-density population and cold climate, which have the natural advantage of solving the problems of miner noise and evaporation.

出于节省铺设线路成本以及用电便利性方面的考虑，比特币“矿场”大多直接建在水电站内部。

For reasons of cost savings in laying lines and ease of use of electricity, Bitcoin“ mines and rdquao; mostly built directly within hydropower stations.

除马边彝族自治县外，更多的比特币“矿场”设在大渡河旁的另一座小城——康定。据说全球最大比特币矿机生产商，只在全球两个城市设立维修中心，康定就是其中之一。

In addition to the Mabian autonomous districts, more bitcoin“ mines & rdquao; another small town by the Grand River & mdash; & mdash; Conding. One of these is said to be the world’s largest producer of bitcoin machines, which has only two maintenance centres in the world’s two cities.

以康定情歌闻名的康定，水电资源也非常丰富

♪ I'm famous for my love song ♪ ♪ I'm also very rich in water and electricity ♪ ♪ I'm so proud of my love song ♪ ♪ I'm so rich in water and water ♪ ♪ I'm so rich in water ♪ ♪ I'm so proud of my love song ♪ ♪ I'm so rich in water ♪ ♪ ♪ I'm so rich in water and water ♪ ♪ ♪ I'm so rich in water and water ♪ ♪

比特币行业的“宝二爷”最早提出概念——

& & & & & rdquao in Bitcoin; & mdash; & mdash;

四川等地的水电资源非常丰富，在丰水期时电力用不完，白花花的银子变成水流走。为什么不利用这一点，把白白流走的银子变成比特币？

In Sichuan and other places, hydropower resources are abundant, electricity is not available during the water-rich period, and white flowers of silver are running away. Why don't you use this to turn white of silver into bitcoin?

几年间，一些小型水电站，甚至包括电力公司，他们提供电力，矿工们提供设备和技术，形成双赢合作。

For a number of years, small hydropower stations, including even electricity companies, provided electricity, miners provided equipment and technology and forged win-win cooperation.

还有一些能源公司干脆直接购买矿机，自己开采比特币。

There are also energy companies that simply purchase mine machines and mine bitcoin themselves.

矿场，在很多人的记忆中，原型是煤矿，与大地打交道，挖掘几百米深的矿井，带着瓦斯灯疲倦的矿工，不断飞扬的尘土，不断挖掘黑煤，矿工上下也是黑的，除了牙齿。传输带上源源不断带出煤，然后大货车在一旁等候着。

The mines, in the memory of many people, are prototypes of coal mines, dealing with the earth, digging hundreds of metres of mines, weary miners with gas lamps, flying dust, digging for black coal, and the miners coming up and down black, in addition to their teeth. The transport belts keep coming out of coal, and the big van waits around.

眼前的比特币矿场则不是这样子，矿场位于大渡河某一水电站内。矿场主体由四个蓝色长厢大棚组成，类似电脑机房。每一个大棚里面存放7000台比特币矿机，一共接近30000台矿机。相比去年，这批矿机都顺利进行了更新换代，目前其中拥有10000台S7矿机，8000台A6矿机，这两种矿机都分别由全球最大的两家矿机商生产。

This is not the case at the Bitcoin mine, which is located in a hydroelectric plant in the Great River. The site consists of four blue sheds, similar to a computer room. Each one contains 7,000 bitcoin machines, amounting to close to 30,000 machines. Compared to last year, the machines have been successfully upgraded and now contain 10,000 S7 machines and 8,000 A6 machines, each of which is produced by the world’s two largest miners.

山中矿厂的外观

带上安全手套，刷卡进门，扑面而来的是一股小热浪，几千台矿机24小时不间断的运转工作，电能转化成热能，所以厂房建造了风冷系统和水冷系统，棚室内部部署着两台巨大的风扇，把热气流吹向水冷墙，后者为一面庞大的铁丝帘，冷水从上往下流动，每一个铁丝帘洞都挂着水珠，风扇把热气流吹向铁帘，加速水珠的蒸发，从而带走室内的热量，使得室内的温度保持在38度以下。

With safety gloves, brushes into the door, a small heat wave, a round-the-clock operation of thousands of mining machines, and the conversion of electricity into heat, the plant built a wind and water cooling system, with two huge fans deployed inside the shed, blowing the heat stream towards the water-cold wall, which is a huge wire curtain, with cold water flowing up and down, with water beads on each of them, the fan blowing the heat into the metal curtains and accelerating the evaporation of the water, thus taking the heat from the room and keeping the temperature in the room below 38 degrees.

相比煤矿，比特币矿场无烟低碳绿色环保，不用质检，没有残品，不用售后服务，没有三角债，现款现货，不喝水不费油，给点电就行。在古老的江河流域，正维护着最前沿的区块链文明的运行，所以说这是最酷的生意。

Compared to the coal mine, the Bitcoin mine is a smoke-free, low-carbon green, non-quality, no residues, no after-sales, no triangular debt, cash, no oil, just electricity. In the ancient river basin, it's the cutting edge of the chain of civilization, so it's the coolest business.

矿场选择在大渡河，必然是因为这里的水电便宜而丰沛。作为国内最知名的比特币钱包商HaoBTC，旗下的自营矿场也一样知名，全球比特币社区Bitcointalk上曾有Eric mu的三个月矿场生活的连载，引得超过10万海外比特币玩家的关注。世界每挖出100枚比特币，都有5枚产自这里。

The mine has been chosen to cross the river because the water and water here are cheap and abundant. As the country’s most well-known Bitcoin walletr, HaoBTC, is also well known as the home-run mine under the banner of the global Bitcointalk, where Ericmu lived for three months, drawing the attention of more than 100,000 overseas Bitcoins players. For every hundred bitcoins the world digs, five of them come from here.

作为掌管全球5%比特币算力的孙小小，对于矿场的成本有着最深刻的思考。矿机成本，在专业化规模化部署的情况下，这里的矿场对矿机商有较大的议价权。电力成本，这里几乎是大规模正规用电的极佳之地，以直接承包水电站的形式，获得最便宜的电力。

The cost of a mine, in the context of a specialized scale deployment, has greater bargaining power over miners. The cost of electricity, which is almost an excellent place for large-scale formal electricity use, is the cheapest source of electricity in the form of a direct-contracting hydroelectric power plant.

无奈：如养蜂人般迁徙

: Migration like a beekeeper

由于枯水期的存在，经营这些依附水电站的比特币“矿场”，还要经历一个重要环节——迁徙。

Due to the existence of dry water periods, the Bitcoin & ldquo, the mines & rdquao, which operate these dependent hydroelectric plants, are subject to an important link & mdash; & mdash; and migration.

在多雨夏季时，许多比特币“矿场”的用电量尚不足水电站发电量的十分之一。但冬季进入枯水期后，电力又变得不够用了。一些“矿场”主便需要把矿机运到新疆、内蒙等地，像养蜂人般无奈地迁徙。

During the rainy summer season, many bitcoin&ldquao; mines & rdquao; and less than one tenth of the electricity generated by hydroelectric plants. But when winter begins to run out of water, the electricity becomes less available. Some & ldquao; mines & rdquao; and the master needs to transport the mine to Xinjiang, the interior, etc., and move as helplessly as a beekeeper.

危险往往发生在返程途中。大渡河的丰水期是5月到10月，夏季将至，“矿场”经营者们需要将矿机从内蒙古等地迁回四川。路途中往往会遭遇暴雨，再加上山势陡峭、路面泥泞，负责押送的司机和“矿工”时常会遇到滑坡、泥石流等自然灾害。

Risks often occur on the way back. The river is flooded from May to October, with summer approaching, &ldquao; mines & rdquao; operators need to relocate mines from inland Mongolia and elsewhere to Sichuan. Heavy rains are often experienced along the way, coupled with steep mountains, mudslides, transport drivers and & & ldquao; miners & & rdquao; and natural disasters, such as landslides, mudslides, etc.

一位在康定拥有比特币“矿场”的经营者向记者道出了这种迁徙背后的缘由，枯水期电费有时候是丰水期的一倍。

An operator who owns Bitcoin“ the mine & rdquo; and talks to journalists about the reasons behind this migration, which sometimes doubles the cost of electricity during the dry season.

大渡河边的挖矿厂

记者了解到，业内规模较大的“好比特币”公司在康定拥有近5万台矿机，前几年冬天都会将矿机搬到内蒙古、新疆。与之相比，矿机摆设相对分散的天嘉网络，由于水电站的发电量可以满足其需求，常常不需要当“养蜂人”。

Journalists have learned that the industry is larger & ldquo; good bitcoin & rdquo; companies own nearly 50,000 mine machines in Kanding, which have moved to Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang in the winters of previous years. By contrast, the miner has a relatively dispersed carnival network, which often does not need to be & & ldquo; beekeepers & & rdquo;

在水电站呆久了，雷科这样的“矿工”渐渐也和周边居民打成一片。久而久之，一些附近居民也开始关注起比特币来。在马边彝族自治县，记者碰到的一位当地人就表示，接触到比特币后，他自己也在家里设置了一个矿机，“每天能有将近2块钱的收益。”

Over time, some nearby residents have been following Bitcoin. In the Mabang autonomous district, a local journalist has met a local person who said that he himself had set up a mine machine at his home after contact with Bitco, &ldquao; he has earned nearly two dollars a day.

要玩转比特币，需要随时了解最前沿的金融资讯，包括央行监管政策、区块链技术、计算机知识、甚至编程技术……在探访过程中，记者碰到的几位马边彝族自治县当地居民，对央行最新的监管政策竟然十分熟悉。由于央行的监管态度对币价有直接影响，这也是最近每一个比特币从业者都在关注的热点。

In order to move to bitcoin, there is a need to keep abreast of the most cutting-edge financial information, including central bank regulatory policy, block chain technology, computer knowledge, and even programming technology & Hellip; & Hellip; and during the visit, journalists met with local residents of the Mabang Autonomous District, who are familiar with the Bank’s latest regulatory policy. Given the direct impact of central bank regulatory attitudes on currency prices, this has been the focus of attention in recent times for every Bitcoin practitioner.

到了夜间，大部分人沉沉睡去。夜幕笼罩下的马边河依旧奔腾，芭蕉溪“矿场”里，不同型号的矿机仍在奋力运转，在另一个虚拟的世界里不停地进行“哈希”计算。像雷科一样的“矿工”仍要定时起床巡逻，机房里绿莹莹的光，在黑暗中闪烁跳跃。

At night, most of the people fall asleep. The stables under the night cover are still running. Baldquao & & ldquao; mine & rdquao; inside, different types of mine are still struggling and running in another virtual world & & & & & & rdquao; calculation. & ldquao & & & & & & & & rdquao, miner & & & & & rdqua, are still scheduled to get up and patrol, and the green light in the room is still ticking in the dark.

比特币大"矿场"每天能挖60万元 每小时耗电4万度

The Big Bitcoin Mine can dig $600,000 a day and consume 40,000 degrees per hour.

在我进康定后的一段大渡河上，就布满十几家水电站，在比特币矿场未曾进驻之前，这里的电力供应远远大于需求，所以国家电网不得不计划分配，很多水电站一周只能发电两天，休息五天。比特币矿场纷纷进驻之后，均以承包水电站的方式，让这里的发电成为7*24的状态。孙纯宇上一份工作是在深圳某矿机商，他颇有体会地说，深圳的制造成本降低矿机制造成本，四川的水电成本降低矿场的运营成本，这是目前全球70%算力在中国的原因。

After my arrival on the river, there were dozens of hydroelectric plants, and before the Bitcoin mine, the supply of electricity was much greater than the demand, so the national grid had to plan for distribution, with many power stations generating only two days of power a week and resting five days. After the Bitcoin mine was deployed, the power generation there became 7-24. Sun Jun-woo’s last job was in a mining company in Shenzhen, where he had the sense to say that lower production costs in Shenzhen caused the operation of the mine, while the cost of hydropower in Sichuan reduced the operating costs of the mine, which is why 70% of the world’s capacity is currently in China.

康定这座小城，比特币挖矿成为拉动经济的新产业，传闻这座城的快递员，拿起包装就知道是哪一型号的矿机。很多藏族的青年，遍布大大小小的矿场，成为新时代的矿工。大渡河产生充裕的电，成为经济发展的母亲河。全球最大的矿机商，维修点只有两个城市，康定是其中的一座。

Konding, a small town where bitcoin digs to become a new business that pulls the economy, hears that the city’s couriers take up the packaging and know the type of mine machine. Many Tibetan youths, spread all over large and small mines, become miners of the new era. The big river produces enough electricity to become a mother’s river for economic development. The world’s largest miner, with only two repair points, is one of them.

2015年全国装机容量32000万千瓦，整个比特币系统60万千瓦。“比特币系统消耗的电，实际上只需要四川一座中等水电站就足以，并非人们想象中那么消耗能源，在目前阶段，比特币消耗的能源，都是我国的弃水弃电，是激活了经济，并不是无聊的消耗。”

In 2015, with a capacity of 32 million kilowatts, the entire bitcoin system is 600,000 kilowatts. & & ldquo; the Bitcoin system actually consumes enough electricity for just one medium hydropower station in Sichuan, not as much energy as one would imagine. At this stage, bitcoin consumes energy, which is our waste of water, which activates the economy, not boring consumption. & rdquo;

不过，便宜的水电也有局限性，枯水期往往电力不足。一些矿场不得不迁徙到依靠火力发电的内蒙，那里也聚集了大量的比特币矿场。

However, there are limitations to cheap hydropower, which tends to run out of electricity. Some mines have had to migrate to the interior of fire-dependent electricity generation, where a large number of bitcoin mines are also concentrated.

按照中本聪的算法，比特币每隔4年会发生一次产量减半。与之相应，“矿场”挖出的币也将大幅减少。最近一次产量减半发生在2016年7月，下一次减半将发生在2020年左右。由于减半时间可以预测，“矿场”都会提前做好相应的准备。

According to the medium-bone algorithm, Bitcoin is to be halved every four years. Correspondingly, “ mines & rdquo; and debunked currency will be significantly reduced. The last half occurred in July 2016, and the next half will be around 2020. Because half can be predicted, &ldquao; mines & rdquo; all are to be prepared in advance.

眼下，四川正进入丰水期，水电富余。对于比特币矿工们说，这是一个难得的机会，毕竟经营比特币矿场最关键的因素就是有充足的电力。这些矿场大多“逐电而居”，一些矿场利用西南丰富而廉价的水电挖矿。冬天枯水期电价上涨时，公司会将矿机迁往火电丰富的西北地区，来年丰水期再回到西南。

For miners in Bitcoin, this is a rare opportunity, after all, when the most critical factor in running the Bitcoin mine is adequate electricity. Most of these mines are “ live in &rdquao with electricity; some are digging with abundant and cheap hydropower in the southwest.

水电站深受矿场青睐

The hydroelectric plant is very popular with the mines.

“整个西南地区水电富足，而且丰水期的电费只有枯水期的一半。”一位行业人士谈道：“难以想象任何矿场会在这个时间点上选择搬迁。”

& & ldquo; water and electricity are abundant throughout the south-west, and the electricity charge during the water-rich period is only half of the dry water. & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & ; & & & & & ; & & & & ;

现在

2017年4月底，芭蕉溪矿场却“人去厂空”。记者在现场看到，几个机房大门紧闭，留下的只有几个集装板房和空置的电线，整个水电站内已经见不到一台比特币矿机。

At the end of April 2017, the Balang Creek mine & & ldquo; people go to the factory & & rdquao; journalists saw at the scene that the doors of several engine rooms were closed, leaving only a few assembly panels and empty wires, and that a bitcoin mine was no longer visible in the entire hydroelectric plant.

“4月25号下午2点过搬走的，损失好大哦！”留守的水电站负责人苏某对记者谈道，之前，由当地一位副县长带队，有关部门曾来检查过，矿场当时已经处于停产状态。据了解，此次搬走的除了芭蕉溪这一家外，还有另几家比特币矿场。

& & & ldquo; moved at 2 p.m. on April 25th, with a huge loss! & & rdquo; the remaining head of the hydroelectric plant, Su-bai, talked to a journalist before being visited by a local sub-prefect, who had visited the mine and was in a state of shutdown. It is known that there were several bitcoin mines in addition to the one in Baldash Creek.

比特币矿场是用电大户，对于矿工们的离开，水电站的经营者们显然会失望——矿场在的时候，一个月能消耗400至500万度的弃水电量，“每个月要给水电站缴100多万元电费，一年下来就是1200多万元。”该数据未得到确凿证实，但因为矿场关闭搬迁，水电站显然会失去一笔收入。

The Bitcoin mine is power-intensive, and it is clear that the operators of the hydroelectric plant will be disappointed with the departure of the miners & mdash; & mdash; &ldquo, which consumes between 4 and 5 million degrees of water per month at the time of the mine; and more than 1 million yuan per month of electricity will be spent on the hydroelectric plant, down to 12 million dollars per year. ” this data is not conclusively confirmed, but it is clear that the hydroelectric plant will lose an income as a result of the mine’s closure and relocation.

“要是不用，也就变成水流走了。”苏某对记者表示，矿场没了以后，富余水电需要另找销路。在四川丰水期时，发电企业都希望有人来用电，而他们（比特币矿场）是24小时用电，时间恒定，波动又小，因此还是受欢迎的用电对象。

& & ldquo; if it doesn't, it's gone. And & & & & & & ; & & su told reporters that after the mine's gone, surplus hydropower needs to be marketed. When Sichuan's water supply runs, the power generation companies want people to use electricity, and they (bitcoin mines) use electricity 24 hours a day, time is constant and volatilized, so they are popular consumers.

矿场搬走不到半个月，没了噪音，苏某反而不习惯了，“经常在这值班，有一次睡觉半夜醒了以后，发现怎么没声音了，结果才反应过来是在自己家里。”他笑着说。

Less than half a month after the mine moved away without noise, Su-Cho was not used to it, “ often on duty, one night after he woke up in the middle of the night, he found out why there was no sound, and it came back to his home. ” he laughed and said.

内蒙古比特币矿场

Mongolia's Bitcoin Mine

内蒙古鄂尔多斯某比特币矿场，全地球最大的比特币矿场之一，年上缴电费达1亿人民币。

One of the world's largest bitcoin mines, a bitcoin mine in Inner Mongolia, pays 100 million yuan a year for electricity.

航拍下的内蒙古毅航云计算矿场

The Inner Mongolia Irrigation Cloud Calculating Mine was filmed by the ship

这个矿点包含了四个大型仓库，每个都是白蓝相间的屋顶装饰。每个仓库测得长约150米，宽约20米，大约占地3000平米（32000平方英尺），除了这四个矿点仓库，还有一个在建的钢架建筑快要完成，工人们正在忙碌着做最后的建设工作，而四个仓库中，有2个正在建设中，还有另外两个等待开工，有人告诉记者不要上传这部分的照片。

This site contains four large warehouses, each of which is decorated with a white blue-column roof. Each warehouse is measured to be about 150 metres long, about 20 metres wide, covering about 3,000 square metres (32,000 square feet). In addition to these four sites, there is a steel shelf building that is about to be completed, and workers are busy with the final construction work, while two of the four warehouses are under construction and two others are waiting for work, and journalists are told not to upload the photos.

矿场经营者告诉记者说，每个仓库需要花15天的时间来建设，然后又要花掉10天的时间部署矿机。

Mine operators told journalists that each warehouse would take 15 days to build and then another 10 days to deploy a mine machine.

这个矿场的电力消耗量是惊人的，看看用来运行整个矿场的电缆长什么样吧，直接把记者给吓尿了，矿场经营者告诉记者说他们至少使用了15根这样的电缆。

The power consumption of the mine is amazing, looking at what the cables used to run the entire mine look like, and it scares the reporters, who are told by the mine operators that they use at least 15 such cables.

这里还设有了几个辅助建筑物，主要是为了安置这些庞大的变压器。

A number of support buildings are also available, mainly to accommodate these large transformers.

整个矿场的算力达到了惊人的数P（petahashes），可能占整个比特币网络5%的算力，吓尿！

冷却系统似乎很有效，仓库内的温度大约只有25摄氏度（77°F）.

The cooling system appears to be effective, with a temperature of about 25 degrees Celsius in the warehouse (77° F).

他们使用一种蒸发冷却系统来给矿机们降暑，这是一种利用自然环境空气中的干球温度与露点温度差，通过水与空气之间的热湿交换来获取冷量的一种环保高效且经济的冷却方式。

They use a evaporation cooling system to heat the miners, which is an environmentally efficient and economical mode of cooling that uses the difference between the dry ball temperature in the air of the natural environment and the open point temperature to obtain cooling through heat-wet exchange between water and air.

你造么，这里光是电费的开销每个月就要超过100万美元，这是什么概念！

You build it? It's more than $1 million a month for electricity. What concept is that?

东北比特币矿场

Northeast Bitcoin Mine

近日，比特币资讯网站The Coinsman的记者来到了中国的东北考察当地的比特币挖掘工作。从机场降落之后，向导开车带记者走了将近一个小时才来到目的地。而在现场目睹的一切，都令记者目瞪口呆。

Recently, journalists from the Bitcoin information site The Coinsman came to the northeast of China to explore the local bitcoin excavations. After landing from the airport, the guide drove the journalist for almost an hour before arriving at his destination.

这里给大家的第一印象就是过于吵闹，记者一走出汽车就听见了犹如愤怒的大黄蜂扇动翅膀的声音，这种声音由远及近。

The first thing that gives you the impression here is that there's too much noise, and as soon as a reporter gets out of the car, he hears an angry bumblebee flapping his wings, and it's so far and so close.

尽管拥有空调和制冷设备，但室内的温度还是达到了40度

Despite the availability of air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, indoor temperatures reached 40 degrees

当记者逐渐靠近一座建筑物的时候，卷风机形成的强风几乎让人无法前行。而在这些卷风机的身后，则是不可计数的机器。

As journalists get closer to a building, the wind generated by the windmills makes it almost impossible to move forward, and behind these windmills is an incalculable machine.

这里拥有高达2500台挖掘机

无法使用的硬件被堆放到了一起，随处可见

Unserviceable hardware is stacked together and can be seen everywhere .

在这里，1000W的PC电源一个月就受不了更换。一张高性能显卡一个月就会烤出黄斑。

Here, 1,000 W PC power can't be replaced in a month. A high-performance card will burn yellow spots in a month.

如此规模的“矿业”非常耗电，每个月这里的电费就达到了40万人民币。

疯狂的比特币

{\bord0\shad0\alphaH3D}The crazy bitcoin

从2009年比特币诞生之初至今，比特币价格在质疑声中创下了300万倍涨幅，大有与“黄金”争夺避险之王地位的架势。从最初1美元可以买到1300多枚比特币，到2013年12月4日比特币价格达到了1147美元的历史高位，第一次超过国际金价。

Since the birth of Bitcoin in 2009, bitcoin prices have increased by 3 million times from the start of the debate, much like & & & & & & & & & & & & & ; and the battle for kings in flight. From the first dollar, more than 1,300 bitcoins could be bought, reaching a historic high of $1147 on 4 December 2013, surpassing international gold prices for the first time.

今年4月26日，比特币价格为1282.97美元，而一盎司黄金只有1264美元，比特币再次碾压黄金。 5月22日，比特币的价格涨至2151.28美元，黄金当日报价则为1260美元，此后比特币再接再厉，6月12日，比特币首次突破3000美元大关，达到了3012.05美元，创历史新高。

On 26 April of this year, the price of Bitcoin was $122.97, compared to $1264 per ounce of gold, and the price of Bitcoin was again crushing gold. On 22 May, the price of Bitcoin rose to $2151.28, with a gold offer of $1260 on the same day.

据相关统计，过去1年间比特币涨幅高达267%；过去2年间涨幅为740%；过去4年间涨幅则为113.3倍！
