在北京寻找比特币
中关村从来都不缺少创新和尝新的年轻人。就算是在计算机技术超高的“极客”圈子里流转的比特币，在这里也从不会因其专业和小众，而失去为之着迷的人。这种看不见摸不着的虚拟货币，在这里竟能像人民币一样消费。
In China, there is never a shortage of innovation and taste for new young people. Even bitcoin, which circulates in a circle of super-high computer technology, will never lose people who are fascinated by its profession and its smallness. This invisible virtual currency can be consumed here as the renminbi.
今年3月有了
第一笔比特币结账
车库咖啡：直接被爱好者兑换走了
Garage coffee: it's been exchanged directly by the fans.
车库咖啡是中关村有名的创业者根据地。这个不算大、布置也并不算精致的咖啡厅，却无时无刻不被年轻的创业者们占满，低声探讨着下一步的创业路径。就在这个充满新奇想法的地方，比特币毫不意外地被当作现实中的货币，用来买咖啡。
Garage coffee is the home of a well-known entrepreneur in Central Kwana. This coffee shop, which is neither large nor well set up, is not filled with young entrepreneurs at all times, and is whispering about the way to start a business. In this place, full of new ideas, Bitcoin is unsurprisingly used as a real currency to buy coffee.
车库咖啡负责人黄芬介绍说，店里第一笔比特币生意是在今年3月，一位名叫杰克的美国留学生问可否使用比特币买咖啡，“我们当时有一个合伙人正研究比特币，正愁没地方去找呢，就同意了。”不过，黄芬遗憾地告诉记者，“还没等我们拿到比特币，就被研究比特币的合伙人换走了，我们最后还是收的现金。”
The manager of garage coffee, Huang Fen, introduced that the first bitcoin business in the store was in March of this year, when an American student named Jack asked if he could use bitcoin for coffee, “We had a partner who was studying bitcoin, and we had no place to look for it, so we agreed.” However, Huang was sorry to tell reporters that “Until we got bitcoin, we were replaced by a partner who studied bitcoin, and we finally took cash”.
不过，自此之后，车库咖啡能收比特币的消息不胫而走，不少拥有比特币的网友还在微博上留言，一定要去亲自尝试下如何消费比特币。
However, since then, the garage coffee has been able to collect information about Bitcoin, and a number of Internet users with bitcoin have left messages on Twitter and must try to consume bitcoin in person.
黄芬告诉记者，车库咖啡已经做过好几笔用比特币结账的生意了，不过无一例外的是，店里最终得到的也都只是人民币。“每次收到比特币，都会有比特币的爱好者，以当天的汇率转换成人民币将比特币换走。也就是说，车库咖啡没有真正拿到过比特币。”
Huang Fen told reporters that garage coffee had already done a number of business with bitcoin, but, without exception, the last thing in the store was the renminbi. “Every time you get bitcoin, you get bitcoin, you get bitcoin, and you exchange bitcoin for bitcoin at the same exchange rate. That is, garage coffee never really gets bitcoin.”

资深玩家：“挖矿机”已从1万涨到30万
Senior player: The miner has increased from 10,000 to 300,000.
“可能因为我是计算机系毕业的，所以对比特币特别感兴趣。”在车库咖啡，记者遇到了毕业于清华大学计算机系的26岁小伙子田甲，可以算是比特币的资深玩家。这个说话声音不大的男孩，谈起第一次与比特币接触时显得有些兴奋。
"Maybe because I graduated from the computer department, Bitcoin was particularly interested." In garage coffee, journalists met a 26-year-old boy, Tanaka, who graduated from the computer department at Qinghua University, who was a senior player in Bitcoin. The boy with a low voice seemed a little excited to talk about his first contact with Bitcoin.
“当时国外有一篇报道叫《史上最危险的货币》，我才知道原来有种叫比特币的货币。”田甲在一番追本溯源之后，也打算开始尝试挖矿来赚取这个以计算机运算为基础的货币，“虽然现在挖掘机越来越先进，但烧显卡挖矿是最划算的。”
“There was a story outside the country called The Most Dangerous Currency in History, and I knew that there was a currency called Bitcoin.” After a trace, Tanaka also intended to begin mining to earn this computer-based currency, “although now the excavators are more advanced, the burning of the cards is the most cost-effective.”
2011年，他花了1万元在中关村攒了个“挖矿机”，用这个挖矿机，他花了3个月的时间，挖出了100个比特币。“照顾机器可比照顾人还累。”田甲回忆说，在他当时不大的出租屋里，摆放着“挖矿机”，3个月用了1000多度电，就为了挖掘比特币，挖矿机散热厉害，“就算是刚洗完的衣服，放在屋里一会儿就干了”。
In 2011, he spent $10,000 on a miner in Nakakang village, and with this miner, he took three months to dig up 100 bits of bitcoins. “Careing machines is harder than taking care of people.” Tanaka recalled that in his small rental room, he had a miner in place, and spent more than 1,000 degrees of electricity for three months, in order to dig bitcoin, the miner was very hot, “even if it was just washed, it would be dry in the house for a while”.
不过，几年前的比特币不如现在这么值钱，1比特币抵上20美元就已经算是高点了。田甲用一部分比特币，换了他梦寐已久的高配电脑。在他看来这买卖还挺划算，也更激发了他对比特币的兴趣。
A few years ago, however, Bitcoin was less valuable than it is now, and one bitcoin was a bit higher than 20 dollars. A bit of bitcoin was used in the field, in exchange for his long-awaited high-equipment computer.
如今，比特币“挖矿机”从1万元涨到了30万元，但性能也比此前好了不少。据业内人士介绍，以前的老机器100天才能挖到1个比特币，如今的机器，1天就能挖到3.5个。
Today, the Bitcoin miner has risen from $10,000 to $300,000, but it's much better than before. According to the industry, the old machine can only dig one bitcoin in 100 days, and the machine can dig 3.5 in one day.
支持比特币结账
supports Bitcoin closing
淘宝商家：问的多、用的少
♪ Stranglers: More questions and less use ♪ ♪/strong ♪
随着比特币的影响逐渐扩大，一些淘宝商家正试着允许顾客用比特币结账。
As the influence of Bitcoin has gradually expanded, some of the collectors are trying to allow customers to settle their accounts in bitcoin.
淘宝网上支持比特币支付的商品种类繁多，有手机壳、鞋类、服装等，不过主要以小额商品为主。记者在一家主营电子产品外设的淘宝店铺看到，店铺内全场商品均支持比特币支付，而每件商品的页面也都注明“支持比特币支付”。
There are a wide range of items, such as cellular shells, footwear, clothing, etc., which are supported by Bitcoin. Journalists at a shop outside a main camp where electronic products are found, the entire shop supports Bitcoin payments, and the page on each commodity also indicates “support for Bitcoin payments.”
到底怎么使用比特币支付呢？记者向店员徐先生咨询得知，在购买商品前，消费者可向店员提出用比特币支付，随后商家会根据当天的比特币兑换价格算出该件货品的比特币售价。
How do you pay in bitcoin? Journalists consulted shopkeeper Mr. Xu and learned that, before buying the goods, the consumer would ask the shopkeeper to pay in bitcoin, and then the comptoir would calculate the price of the item in bitcoin on the basis of the currency exchange price of the same day.
徐先生举例说：如果一款手机壳的价格是15元，而按照5月19日的比特币汇率，1比特币可兑换710元人民币，那么这款手机壳的价格约为0.02113比特币。
Mr. Xu gave an example: if the price of a cell phone shell was $15 and, at the Bitcoin exchange rate of 19 May, 1 bitcoin was convertible to 710 yuan, the price of the cell phone shell was approximately 0.02113 bitcoin.
但徐先生同时表示，虽然问的人不少，但采用比特币交易的消费者却寥寥无几，“主要问题在于比特币交易没有保障，消费者难以放心。”
At the same time, however, Mr. Xu stated that, while there were many questions asked, very few consumers were trading in bitcoin, and that “the main problem was that bitcoin was not guaranteed and that consumers were insecure”.
徐先生坦言，目前淘宝店铺支持比特币支付多半是为求新鲜，“图个时髦”。目前淘宝上绝大多数交易围绕支付宝系统进行，然而淘宝并未针对比特币设立支付平台，国内也没有具有公信力的第三方担保平台保证用比特币购物。
Mr. Xu claims that the shop currently supports Bitcoin payments for the most part to be fresh and “fashionable.” The vast majority of the transactions are currently organized around payment systems, yet there is no payment platform for Bitcoin, and there is no credible third-party guarantee platform in the country to ensure that they are bought in bitcoin.
壹基金收到235比特币捐款

“已经先兑换成人民币了”

芦山地震期间，公益机构壹基金曾被报道接受比特币捐款，这也使国内公益组织首次接受比特币捐赠。
During the earthquake, public interest funds were reported to have received Bitcoin contributions, which also led to the first-ever acceptance of Bitcoin donations by national public interest organizations.
壹基金合作发展部总监霍庆川4月21日在微博上公布了雅安地震比特币捐赠地址，并表示“已经收到意向捐赠50Btc（按照今日汇率，折合人民币4万元），我们会委托中国比特币公社出售募捐到的比特币。欢迎极客和骇客们向壹基金捐赠比特币。这是中国第一个接受比特币捐赠的NGO，比特币也第一次在中国成为捐赠物。”
On April 21, the Director General of the Ministry of Cooperation and Development of the Fund, Huo Qingchuan, announced on Weibo the address of the Bitcoin donation for the Yaan earthquake, saying that “a donation of 50 Btc (equivalent to RMB 40,000 at today's exchange rate) has been received, and we will entrust the Bitcoin Community of China with the sale of the bitcoin that was collected.” Welcomed the donation of bitcoin to a fund by the extremes and hackers. This is China's first NGO to receive bitcoin, and Bitcoin to become a donation in China for the first time.”
数据显示，该账户在4月21日至4月25日共收到235.21203877个比特币。壹基金工作人员告诉记者，这些比特币在委托比特中国销售后，所得人民币已经进入壹基金的账户。“壹基金的账户不能直接接受比特币的捐款，一定要先兑换成人民币才行。”壹基金工作人员告诉记者。
According to the data, from 21 April to 25 April, the account received a total of 235.2120,3877 bitcoins. A fund staff member told journalists that, after entrusting Bitcoins with sales in China, the money received was entered into the account of a fund. “The account of a fund cannot accept Bitcoins' contributions directly, but it must be converted into yuan.” A fund staff member told journalists.
比特币每4年产出

减半极值2100万个

资深玩家：量化宽松下比特币将不断升值
Senior player: Bitcoin will continue to appreciate under quantitative easing
今年以来，比特币疯狂升值，让这个原本仅在小范围流通的货币逐渐进入普通人的视线。“过山车”般的汇率，让不少金融业的大佬们都有些不寒而栗。
Since this year, Bitcoin has gone crazy, bringing the currency, which was only a small-scale circulation, into the eyes of ordinary people. The "climbing" rate of exchange has made a lot of the financial industry a little chilly.
“我玩儿比特币并不是为了赚钱或投机，只单纯地觉得它新鲜。”田甲表示，虽然比特币在一个月之内升值数倍，最高时与美元的比率为1比266，但田甲并没有为之所动。
“I didn't play a little bitcoin for money or speculation, but just thought it was fresh.” Tanaka said that while Bitcoin appreciated several times within a month, the highest time-to-dollar ratio was 1 to 266, it was not moved by it.
他解释道，今年正好赶上比特币产量减半，今后每逢此时，都会大幅升值。按照比特币产出的运算公式，几乎每逢4年都会产出减半，最终达到极值2100万个。而这种没有中央银行控制的货币，与不断量化宽松的现实货币相比，也将会不断升值。如今比特币已经产生出了大约1100多万个。
According to the Bitcoin formula, output will be halved almost every four years, eventually reaching an extreme value of 21 million. And this currency, which is not controlled by the central bank, will continue to appreciate as compared to the real currency of constant quantitative easing.
不过，也有文章表示，支取比特币需要多达数百位的密钥，而多数人会将这一长串的数字记录于电脑上，但经常发生的如硬盘损坏等问题，会让密钥永久丢失，这也导致了比特币的丢失。“粗略估计，丢失的比特币可能达到160多万个。”田甲介绍说。
However, there are also articles that suggest that taking bitcoins would require as many as hundreds of keys, and that most people would record this long series of numbers on computers, but that frequent problems such as hard disk damage could cause the key to be permanently lost, which also led to bitcoins being lost. “A rough estimate, the number of lost bitcoins could be more than 1.6 million.”
“我很乐见比特币的推广，但推广过程会十分艰难。”田甲告诉记者，如今在一些比特币论坛上，已经出现了如MyWallet等便于使用比特币的软件，“这就像用银行网银购物一样，在能够消费比特币的地方十分便捷。”（记者 姜樊）
"I'd love to see bitcoin spread, but it's going to be difficult." Tanaka told reporters that software such as MyWallet, which makes bitcoin easy to use, has appeared in some of the Bitcoin forums, and that it's “as easy as cash shopping in banks as it is to be able to consume bitcoins.” (Reporter Kang)
