  以下即小编为大家分享的英文阅读素材:比特币的未来

  

 

  SUMMARY:

  随着2008年的经济危机,比特币横空出世,具体是日本人中本聪还是望月新一 发明的,。无论是谁创造出的这一货币,不可否认的是,比特币对现实生活和虚拟世界都造成了极大的影响。但是现在,似乎又出现了一种说法,比特币将在不久之后的将来衰落······

  CONTENT:

  Bitcoin’s defects will hasten its demise in 2015. The leading crypto-currency’s economies of scale in mining and its transaction system’s vulnerability to subversion by a dominant miner make it unsound. As seignorage declines it will become cost-uncompetitive for transactions. These flaws will cause its price to lose further altitude.

  The digital currency is controlled not by a state but by an underlying algorithm by which participants can “mine” bitcoins through solving mathematical problems. The universe of miners can then validate “blockchains” of bitcoin transactions by majority vote, weighted by their mining effort. As a reward, miners receive more bitcoins, distributed randomly.

  参考译文:

  比特币的缺陷将使其在2015年加速走向灭亡。该密码货币占据领导地位,其“挖矿”规模经济以及主要“挖矿机”控制下易摧毁的交易系统都使得货币不健全。随着制币利润的较低,在交易中货币制造成本缺乏竞争力。这些缺都将导致其价格丧失长远(发展)高度。

  这种数字货币并非受控于国家,而是由底层算法所约束。参与者可以通过这种算法解决数学问题,从而“挖取”比特币。之后,同过多数票决,所有的挖矿者就可以违背比特交易的桎梏,并以挖矿努力程度衡量所得。作为奖励,挖矿者们可以得到更多随机分布的比特币。
