比特币是什么？是庞氏骗局？还是金矿？币红是非多，身价像坐了火箭一样蹿升的比特币，免不了伴随着各种谎言，不管是夸大的能源消耗数据，还是与恐怖主义扯上关系的谎言，以下是我们收集的全世界对比特币的十大误解。
What's the bitcoin? Is it a Ponzi scam, or a gold mine? It's a lot of money, and it's a bitcoin that's priced like a rocket, and it's accompanied by all sorts of lies, whether it's exaggerated energy consumption data or terrorism-related lies. Here's the ten misunderstandings we've collected about the world's bitcoin.
先从最愚蠢的说法开始，尽管这十条说法都挺蠢的。
1 比特币资助了恐怖主义 bitcoinfinances terrorism 如果你想责怪到一种货币身上，想想美元吧，因为美元相对其他货币来说，已被用来资助战争。人们总是把比特币和恐怖主义联系在一起，截至目前，有很多关于此的传言，但均未得到证实。 If you want to blame one currency, think of the dollar, which, in contrast to other currencies, has been used to finance war. People have always associated Bitcoin with terrorism, and so far there have been many rumours about it, but none has been confirmed. 制裁非法金融中心的Yaya Fanusie发表了关于此的看法：现在，相对现金来说，虚拟货币更难以获取和支付，并不是为恐怖主义提供资金的最匿名的方式。使用虚拟货币资助恐怖主义，只会使这个恐怖主义融资计划变得复杂。 Yaya Fanusie, the centre for sanctioning illegal financial centres, has expressed the view that, now, virtual currency is more difficult to obtain and pay than cash, and is not the most anonymous way to finance terrorism. The use of virtual currency to finance terrorism will only complicate this terrorist financing scheme. 2 比特币是资本泡沫 Bitcoin is a capital bubble 在不到十年时间里，在发烧友和资本的追捧下，比特币价格涨了数百万倍，这场热潮到底是革命的前兆，还是资本的泡沫？ In less than a decade, the price of Bitcoin had increased millions of times with fever and capital. Was the heat a precursor to the revolution, or was the bubble of capital? 比特币不是泡沫。每当比特币涨或跌2000美元时，说比特币是泡沫的消息就会出现，我们需要修正这种说法——历史上没有任何一种资产是直线攀升的，比特币也不会像泡沫一样破裂。3000美元时，比特币不是泡沫；11000美元时，比特币不是泡沫；当一系列的评论文章提出“比特币是不是泡沫”这个问题时，它仍然不是泡沫。 Bitcoin is not a bubble. Every time bitcoin rises or falls by $2,000, there is news of bitcoin being a bubble, and we need to correct that statement: no asset has ever risen in history, and bitcoin has not broken like a bubble. At $3,000, bitcoin is not a bubble; at $11,000, bitcoin is not a bubble; it is still not a bubble when a series of review articles raises the question of whether bitcoin is a bubble. 3 比特币不稳定 bitcoin's unstable 比特币并非为波动性而生。恰恰相反，比特币是为稳定性而生。 Bitcoin is not born for volatility. On the contrary, bitcoin is born for stability. 因为比特币供给量一定，所以比特币生来就是为了稳定，并且具有可预测的数量注入。这两个特点意味着投资者和比特币爱好者在任何时候都可以知道比特币数量的供给。 Because bitcoin supply is certain, bitcoin is born to be stable and to have a predictable amount of injection. These two characteristics mean that investors and bitcoin fans can know the amount of bitcoin supply at any time. 4 比特币是又一朵郁金香 {\bord0\shad0\alphaH3D}Bitcoin is another tulip 17世纪荷兰的“郁金香狂热”，导致郁金香球根的价格疯狂飙高，达到了4600弗罗林，然而泡沫过后，价格一路下跌，仅剩下高峰时的百分之一。尽管郁金香泡沫破裂了，但人们并没有找到背后的根源。该泡沫破裂的本质，并非价格太高，而是郁金香没有足够的内在价值。 In the 17th century, the Dutch tulip fanaticism caused the price of the tulip root to skyrocket, reaching 4600 florins, but after the bubble, the price fell, leaving only 1% of the peak. Although the tulip bubble burst, people did not find the underlying cause. 但是，比特币很容易分配、不易破坏、便于携带，且数量不受人为操纵。而比特币担负的角色则是虚拟货币，除非比特币“价格”远远超出“真实购买力内含价值”，否则，比特币的价格会一直涨上去。 But bitcoin is easy to distribute, easy to destroy, easy to carry, and unmanageable. Bitcoin has the role of virtual currency, and the price of bitcoin will keep up unless it “prices” far more than “real purchasing power contains value.” 5 比特币被仇恨团体使用 bitcoin used by hate groups 你可能听说过比特币，但你可能没听说过比特币是如何帮助新纳粹的。 You may have heard of bitcoin, but you may not have heard of how bitcoin helped neo-Nazis. 因为一小部分用户的使用行为，而去指责一种货币，这个指责肯定是荒谬的。要说为什么是荒谬的，这又是相当漫长的解释，有时候最简单的回应就够了——你可能听说过汽车，但你可能没听说过汽车是如何帮助银行抢劫犯的。也可以这样回应，垃圾短信主要用于非法欺骗，你应该去抓发短信的人，不能屏蔽手机接收短信的功能。 It's absurd to blame a currency for the use of a small number of users. It's a rather long explanation why it's absurd, and sometimes the simplest response is enough -- you may have heard of the car, but you may not have heard of how it helps bank robbers. 6 比特币主要用于非法目的 bitcoin is used mainly for illegal purposes 这种说法在2013年可能是真的，但是今天绝大多数的比特币交易都为了合法的目的。Chris Burniske在他之前的演讲中也提供了进一步的证据。尽管如此，这并不能阻止主流媒体时不时拿出这个老掉牙的故事，而且通常伴随着这类图片： This statement may be true in 2013, but most bitcoin deals today are for legitimate purposes. Chris Burniske also provided further evidence in his previous speech. Nevertheless, it does not stop the mainstream media from coming up with this old story from time to time and usually accompanied by such pictures: 7 比特币是庞氏骗局 Bitcoin is a Ponzi scam. 庞氏骗局是典型的拆东墙补西墙，用新进资金来保证老人利益从而扩大投资诈骗资金的骗局，直到最终不可持续，整个结构崩溃。显然比特币不是，比特币的运作完全透明，它的采用和增长任何人都无法控制。比特币的价格完全取决于市场愿意为其支付的价格，而不是基于支付老投资者的必要。 Clearly, Bitcoin is not operating in complete transparency, and its adoption and growth is beyond anyone’s control. Bitcoin’s price depends entirely on the price that the market is willing to pay for it, not on the need to pay the old investors. 8 比特币能被黑客攻击 bitcoin can be hacked into 比特币交易所和基于云的钱包在理论上可以被黑客攻击，就像其他连接到互联网的东西一样，但是支持比特币区块链的底层代码不能被黑客攻破。比起以前其他任何代码，比特币都经过了更彻底的测试。如果您担心您的币被盗，请使用您自己拥有钥匙的钱包，而不是信任第三方。 Bitcoin exchanges and cloud-based wallets can theoretically be hacked, like other things connected to the Internet, but the bottom code supporting the bitcoin block chain cannot be hacked. Bitcoin has been tested more thoroughly than any other code before. If you fear that your currency will be stolen, use your own wallet with the key, rather than trusting a third party. 9 比特币是一时狂热 {\bord0\shad0\alphaH3D}Bitcoin is a momentary frenzy. 你知道，以前有什么也被称作会是一时流行的狂热么？互联网和手机。 You know, what used to be called a flash of passion? The Internet and cell phones. 很多人对于新兴事物第一看不见，第二看不起，第三看不懂，第四来不及。世界在变，必须与时俱进。 Many people are the first to lose sight of new things, the second to look down, the third to see, the fourth to see. The world has to change. 10 比特币是电老虎 {\bord0\shad0\alphaH3D}Bitcoin is an electric tiger. 比特币的价格在2017年已突破7000美元，随之而来的问题则是，比特币挖矿的耗电量急剧上升。的确，比特币挖矿使用了大量能源，不过没有报道的那么多，而且每瓦特都是值得的。 The price of Bitcoin has passed $7,000 in 2017, and the problem is that the amount of electricity consumed by bitcoin mining has risen sharply. Indeed, bitcoin mining uses a lot of energy, but not as much as it has been reported, and every watt is worth it. 挖黄金，挖钻石，制造法币等，耗电比挖比特币还要大。有一项研究表明，比特币每年使用0.8至4.4太瓦时，每年花在挖矿和回收黄金上有138太瓦时，全球银行系统每年花费650太瓦时。和这些行业相比，比特币可不背电老虎这个恶名。 Digging gold, digging diamonds, manufacturing French, etc., is much more expensive than digging bitcoin. A study shows that bitcoin spends 0.8 to 4.4 watt-hours per year on mining and recycling gold at 138 watt-hours per year, and that the global banking system spends 650 watt-hours per year. 有时，一个谎言可以穿越半个地球，直到真相浮出水面。币红是非多，比特币可以有很多含义，但它不是以上所述的任何一种。 Sometimes, a lie can cross half the planet until the truth surfaces. The money is red. Bitcoin can have many meanings, but it's not any of the above.
