比特币是第一个加密电子货币，其特色是使用密码学来控制货币的制造和管理，而非依赖特定的中央机构。我们希望探索自比特币诞生以来，发生的重要事件，人物，国家及相关的价格波动对其发展的历史回顾。 比特币背后的科技和概念并非皆为新创；其推测的幕后发明人中本聪结合了许多来自数位朋克社群的既有想法，创造了比特币。本文回顾了比特币发展 11 年至今，整个与比特币发展相关的重要事件与全球合规的发展。
Bitcoin is the first encrypted electronic currency, characterized by the use of cryptography to control its manufacture and management, rather than relying on specific central institutions. We would like to explore the history of important events that have taken place since Bitcoin’s birth, with figures, countries, and associated price fluctuations.

比特币的关键要素：
The key element of Bitcoin:
- 比特币是第一个基于区块链诞生的虚拟货币。它被认为是至今为止最成功且在全球范围内传播最广泛的新事物。
- 2009 年，当第一个比特币被挖出时，比特币的价格仅为几美分，趋近于为零。

- 比特币第三次减半（2020 年 5 月）以后，整个虚拟货币市场开始逐渐成熟，机构不断增加兴趣开始投资比特币，华尔街对冲基金经理「唱多」比特币来对抗美元贬值已成为不可避免的趋势。

注：所谓 51% 的攻击，就是利用比特币网络采用 PoW 竞争记账权和「最长链共识」的特点，使用算力优势生成一条更长的链「回滚」已经发生的「交易行为」。51% 是指算力占全网算力的 51%，比特币网络需要通过哈希碰撞来匹配随机数从而获得记账权，算力衡量的是一台计算机每秒钟能进行哈希碰撞的次数。算力越高，意味着每秒钟能进行越多次的哈希碰撞，即获得记账权的几率越高。在理论上，如果掌握了 50% 以上的算力，就拥有了获得记账权的绝对优势，可以更快地生成区块，也拥有了篡改区块链数据的权利。
Note: The so-called 51% attack is the use of the Bitcoin network to use the characteristics of PoW competitive bookkeeping and “the longest chain consensus” to generate a longer chain of “roll back” transactions that have taken place. 51% is the 51% of total network computing, the Bitcoin network needs to match random numbers with Hashi collisions in order to obtain rights to account. The higher the calculus, the higher the probability of obtaining rights to account, if more than 50% of the computing power is acquired, the greater the ability to generate blocks more quickly, and the right to tamper with district chain data.
