Several economists see a huge bubble in the Bitcoin market, but it is the rise and fall of prices that push many investors into it. ◆ 双语阅读 Bitcoin is a type of digital currency that emerged after the 2008 financial crisis. It allows people to bypass banks and traditional payment methods. It has become the most prominent among thousands of so-calledcryptocurrencies. It relies on “blockchain” technology, which is a shared database of transactions, with entries that must be confirmed andencrypted. The network is secured by individuals called “miners” who use high-powered computers to verify transactions, with bitcoins offered as a reward. 点击下方空白区域查看翻译 Click the empty area below to view the translation 比特币是2008年金融危机后出现的一种数字货币。它可以让人们绕过银行和传统的支付方式。它已经在数千种所谓的加密货币中脱颖而出。它依赖于“区块链”技术，这是一个共享的交易数据库，每项数据都必须经过确认和加密。名为“矿工”的个人使用大功率的计算机来验证交易，负责网络安全，然后以比特币作为他们的奖励。 Bitcoin is a digital currency that emerged in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. It allows people to bypass banks and traditional modes of payment. It has emerged from thousands of so-called encrypted currencies. It relies on a “block chain” technology, a shared database of transactions that must be identified and encrypted. Individuals named “miners” use powerful computers to verify transactions, take responsibility for network security, and then reward them with Bitcoin. There are several currency exchanges where consumers canswaptraditional “fiat” money – backed by governments – for cryptocurrencies, which must be stored using a digital wallet. Some of the biggest exchanges include Bitstamp, Coinbase and Gemini. However, finance firms have also created new investment products based on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, such as contracts for difference, which are used to track the value of an asset without needing to directly own it. 点击下方空白区域查看翻译 Click the empty area below to view the translation 有几家货币交易所，在那里消费者可以用政府支持的传统“法定”货币交换加密货币，加密货币必须使用数字钱包存储。最大的几家交易所包括Bitstamp、Coinbase和Gemini。然而，金融公司基于比特币和其他加密货币也开发了的新投资产品，如差价合约，可以在不直接所有资产的情况下追踪资产价值。 There are several currency exchanges where consumers can exchange encrypted currencies with government-backed traditional “legal” currencies, which must be stored with digital wallets.

First, the surge in media value has attracted new investors who want to make money. Second, more traditional financial companies are investing in the market. The development of Covid-19 vaccines could enable a swift economic recovery from the pandemic, at a time when governments and central banks are still providing vast amounts of emergency support – which could trigger aburst of inflation. Some investors view bitcoin as a store of value, similar to gold, which can hold its worth during times of economic stress or rising inflation. 点击下方空白区域查看翻译 Click the empty area below to view the translation 翻译划线句，长按文末小程序码打卡，答案下期公布~一些投资者将比特币视为一种类似于黄金的保值方式，可以在经济紧缩或通胀加剧时保值。 Translating the underlined sentence, which is long-pressed by a small code at the end of the text, the answer is published next — some investors view Bitcoin as a gold-like way of preserving it in the event of a contraction of the economy or an increase in inflation. Bitcoin’s value is almost entirely defined by perceptions. Some economists believe it is entirely worthless. However, analysts at JP Morgan have said it could hit $146,000 if it became as established as gold for investors. However, to match this reputationbuilt upover millennia – as a thing worth owning, with otherwise little intrinsic value – it would need to become much lessvolatile. 点击下方空白区域查看翻译 Click the empty area below to view the translation 比特币的价值几乎完全由观念决定。一些经济学家认为它完全没有价值。然而，摩根大通的分析师表示，如果比特币对投资者来说像黄金一样稳定，那么它就能达到14.6万美元。然而，比特币要想与黄金几千年建立起来的声誉相媲美——作为一种值得拥有的东西，否则没有什么内在价值——它需要变得更稳定。 The value of Bitcoin is almost entirely determined by ideas. Some economists think it is completely worthless. However, Morgan Chase's analysts say that, if Bitcoin is as stable as gold for investors, it can reach $146,000. 本文节选自：The Guardian（卫报） Excerpt from The Guardian. 发布时间：2021.01.11 Release time: 2021.01.1.11 作者：Richard Partington Author: Richard Partington 原文标题：What is bitcoin and why are so many people looking to buy it?
