今年5月，全球数万台电脑遭到勒索病毒攻击。黑客将电脑中的资料文档上锁，并要求支付300美金等价的比特币才能解锁文件。虽然勒索病毒与比特币本身并无直接关系，但比特币在这一案例中显然成为帮凶。从2009年诞生之初的10000比特币换两块披萨，到如今单价超过2400美元（约合人民币17000元），比特币的价格经历了多次过山车般的震荡，今年以来更是暴涨了近200%。
In May this year, tens of thousands of computers around the world were attacked with extortion viruses . Hackers locked their computer files and demanded to pay 300 United States dollars equivalent in bitcoin in order to unlock them. While blackmail viruses are not directly related to Bitcoin itself, Bitcoin is clearly an accomplice in this case. From 10,000 bitcoins at the beginning of 2009 to more than 2400 dollars today (approximately 17,000 yuan).
据《经济参考报》报道，2009年比特币刚出现时，1美元差不多可以买到1300枚比特币。据报道，在2010年5月美国佛罗里达州的一位程序员拉丝勒-豪涅茨成功用10000比特币换取了两块披萨。当时还不是直接用比特币进行交易，而是有人愿意接受这些比特币，替拉丝勒代买了披萨。
According to the Economic Reference Paper, when Bitcoin first appeared in 2009, $1 could have bought almost 1,300 bitcoins. In May 2010, it was reported that a programmer from Florida, Lassler-Honitz, had successfully traded two pieces of pizza for 10,000 bitcoins.
一年前，30出头的东北汉子王军(化名)向相恋多年的女友求婚了。他用了一种不同寻常的浪漫方式，将求婚词“Will you marry me？(你愿意嫁给我吗？)”刻进了比特币区块链里。
A year ago, the 30-year-old Northeast Mandarin Army proposed to a girlfriend who had been in love for years. He used an unusual romantic way to carve the proposed word "Will you marry me?" into the Bitcoin block chain.
王军在某比特币创业公司负责挖矿业务，管理公司位于四川、新疆等地的四五处矿场，保障矿场正常运转，持续稳定地挖出比特币。
The Royal Army is in charge of mining operations at a bitcoin start-up company, which manages four or five mines located in Sichuan and Xinjiang, etc., to guarantee the proper functioning of the mines and the steady and sustained recovery of bitcoin.
和大多数货币不同，比特币具有“去中心化”的特质，不依靠央行等货币机构发行，任何人都可以通过特定64位的运算获得。“挖矿”就像是用计算机解答一道复杂的数学题，每得到一个合格答案，比特币网络会新生成一定量的比特币作为奖赏。
Unlike most currencies, bitcoin has the character of “decentralizing” and does not depend on monetary institutions such as central banks, and anyone can obtain it through a specific 64-digit calculation. “mining” is like using a computer to answer a complex mathematical question, and for each qualified answer, the Bitcoin network will generate a new amount of bitcoins as a reward.
依据比特币创始人中本聪的设计，比特币的总量被固定在2100万以内。计算难度会不断上升，奖励随之不断减少，“就像挖金矿一样”，王军说。因此，获取比特币的过程被形象地称为“挖矿”，挖矿的参与者就是“矿工”。
According to the design of Bennett among the founders of Bitcoin, the total amount of Bitcoin is fixed at 21 million. The difficulty of calculating is increasing, and the rewards are decreasing, “like gold mining”, the Royal Army says. Thus, the process of obtaining bitcoin is imaged as “mining”, and the mining participants are “miners”.
2011年4月前，每一枚比特币的价格一直都处于1美元以下，到2011年6月比特币最高涨至30美元，随后一周之内价格几乎腰斩，到2012年比特币价格一度跌至2美元以下。之后又开始继续上涨。此后，比特币价格几乎总是如坐过山车般，有时候猛涨，有时候大跌甚至腰斩。
Until April 2011, the price of each bitcoin remained below $1, rising to a maximum of $30 in June 2011, with prices falling almost to less than $2 in the following week, and then rising again in 2012. Since then, bitcoin prices have almost always been on a roller coast, sometimes soaring, and sometimes falling and even being decapitated.

2013年，受塞浦路斯银行危机的影响，比特币是否具有货币属性受到了更多人的关注，在2013年4月9日，比特币价格达到260美元的历史高点，随之泡沫又出现破裂，一周后暴跌至68美元。当年下半年，欧洲一些国家出台了有利于比特币的政策，受此影响，比特币价格又迎来了第三次泡沫。根据Coindesk数据显示，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。
In 2013, more attention was paid to the monetary identity of Bitcoin as a result of the banking crisis in Cyprus. On 9 April 2013, the price of Bitcoin reached a historic high of $260, with a bursting bubble, which fell to $68 a week later.
此后比特币价格又出现暴跌，至12月18日跌至522美元，到2015年1月14日进一步跌至114美元。此后，比特币又开始上涨过程，在其摇摇晃晃到达400美元时，很多人心里嘀咕它哪天会落到一位数的价格。不过，比特币的价格还在上涨。
After that, bitcoin prices fell sharply again, falling to $522 on 18 December, and further to $114 on 14 January 2015. After that, bitcoin began to rise, and when it shakyly reached $400, a lot of people wondered when it would fall to a single-digit price. However, Bitcoin prices were rising.
今年，比特币ETF基金被美国证监会驳回后，比特币重挫315美元，跌至1000美元以下。此后又上涨。在今年前四个月时，比特币和一盎司黄金的价格又基本不分伯仲。然而随着本轮比特币一波强势上涨后，比特币价格超过了一盎司黄金的价格。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，比特币已经在价格上超越黄金。
This year, when the Bitcoin ETF Fund was rejected by the US CSR, Bitcoin retrenched by $315 to less than $1,000. After that, it rose. In the first four months of the year, the price of Bitcoin and one ounce of gold was largely ignored. However, with the current round of Bitcoin rising by a wave, the price of Bitcoin exceeded the price of one ounce of gold. On April 26, the price of Bitcoin was $122.97, while one ounce of gold was only $1264, and Bitcoin had already exceeded the price of gold.
到5月22日，比特币的价格为2151.28美元，当天一盎司黄金的价格则只有1260美元，比特币的价格已经彻底超过一盎司黄金的价格，24日比特币狂涨至2400美元。日前的统计数据显示，过去1年间比特币价格大约上涨了267%；过去2年间比特币价格大约上涨了740%；过去4年间比特币价格大约上涨了113.3倍。至截稿时，这个倍数又在增长。
