Butapest的Satoshi Nakamoto雕像是比特幣的化名發明家，在匈牙利布達佩斯的更多Graphisoft Park中展出。

比特幣是一種使用密碼學創建一種稱為數字商品的新形式的貨幣形式的發明。它挑戰了中央當局必須管理金錢和付款的觀念。

A statue of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym used by the inventor of bitcoin, has been unveiled in Graphisoft Park in Budapest, Hungary.

比特幣發明家使用的薩托島nakamoto雕像已在匈牙利布達佩斯的Graphisoft Park揭幕。

The inventor of bitcoin, known by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, is a figure who has sparked endless curiosity and speculation. Despite the extensive research and theories, Nakamoto's identity remains a mystery, adding a layer of intrigue to the cryptocurrency's narrative.

假名Nakamoto聞名的比特幣的發明者是一個引發了無盡好奇和猜測的人物。儘管進行了廣泛的研究和理論，但中村的身份仍然是一個謎，為加密貨幣的敘述增加了一層陰謀。

While some view Nakamoto's anonymity as a reason for suspicion, a deeper analysis leads many to the conclusion that bitcoin's success would have been hindered if the inventor's identity had been revealed.

儘管有些人認為中村的匿名性是令人懷疑的原因，但更深入的分析導致許多結論是，如果揭示了發明家的身份，則比特幣的成功將受到阻礙。

"If a named individual had claimed ownership of it, governments could have applied pressure and shut down the project in its infancy. Instead, bitcoin quickly grew beyond any single point of failure," noted an article by Ben Armstrong.

本·阿姆斯特朗（Ben Armstrong）的一篇文章指出：“如果一個指定的人聲稱擁有它的所有權，政府可能會在起步階段施加壓力並關閉該項目。相反，比特幣迅速增長了任何單點的失敗點。”

In the early days of bitcoin, researchers and activists strived to create "digital cash" that embodied the physical scarcity of gold. Chaum's eCash, Dai's b-money, and Szabo's Bit Gold each introduced cryptographic tokens, timestamped record-keeping, and the concept of decentralized money. However, they couldn't fully solve the problem of eliminating a central coordinator and had limited success in resolving the "double spending" problem.

在比特幣的早期，研究人員和激進主義者努力創造“數字現金”，以體現出黃金的物理缺乏。 Chaum的Ecash，Dai的B-Money和Szabo的Bit Gold都引入了密碼令牌，時間戳記錄保存以及分散貨幣的概念。但是，他們無法完全解決消除中央協調員的問題，並且在解決“雙重支出”問題方面取得了有限的成功。

"Meanwhile, other breakthroughs, like Haber and Stornetta's linked timestamping for document notarization, Merkle's trees for efficient hashing and Back's invention of proof-of-work, provided more building blocks," the article added.

文章補充說：“與此同時，其他突破，例如哈伯和斯託內塔（Haber）和斯托納塔（Stornetta）的鏈接時間戳記，以供文檔公證化，默克爾（Merkle）的樹木為有效的哈希（Hoshing）和背部發明的工作證明提供了更多的構建障礙。”

These ideas, developed throughout the 1980s and '90s, would prove crucial in bitcoin's design. Satoshi's unique contribution was combining these threads of cryptography research to design a monetary network free from bank-like servers and a single point of control.

這些想法在整個1980年代和90年代都發展起來，對比特幣設計至關重要。 Satoshi的獨特貢獻是將這些密碼研究的這些線索結合在一起，以設計無銀行服務器和單個控制點的貨幣網絡。

Nakamoto was active in the online forums of the cypherpunk movement, a group of privacy-focused activists who believed in using cryptography to protect personal freedom.

Nakamoto活躍於Cypherpunk運動的在線論壇，這是一群以隱私為中心的活動家，他們相信使用密碼學來保護個人自由。

After publishing the famous white paper called "Bitcoin: A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System" in 2008, and mining the first bitcoin block in early 2009, he coded the first implementation of the bitcoin software. Over the next few years, he participated in online discussions about bitcoin.

在2008年發布了名為“比特幣：同行電子現金系統”的著名白皮書之後，並在2009年初挖掘了第一個比特幣塊，他編碼了比特幣軟件的首次實施。在接下來的幾年中，他參加了有關比特幣的在線討論。

Once the Bitcoin Network became self-sustaining, Satoshi vanished, leaving behind one of the most enduring mysteries in the tech world.

一旦比特幣網絡變得自我維持，Satoshi就消失了，留下了技術界最持久的奧秘之一。

As the article pointed out, Nakamoto's anonymity is likely part of the reason why bitcoin succeeded.

正如文章所指出的那樣，中村的匿名性很可能是比特幣成功的原因。

"If a known individual had claimed ownership of it, governments could have applied pressure and shut down the project in its infancy. Instead, bitcoin quickly grew beyond any single point of failure."

“如果一個已知的人聲稱擁有它的所有權，政府可能會施加壓力並在其起步階段關閉該項目。相反，比特幣迅速增長超出了任何單點失敗。”

In the very first days of the Bitcoin Network's existence, only a handful of enthusiasts participated in order to test the technology. The first bitcoin transaction took place in January 2009, when Satoshi Nakamoto paid Hal Finney 0.01 bitcoins in a transaction that was mined in the second block.

在比特幣網絡存在的第一天，只有少數發燒友參加了測試技術。第一次比特幣交易發生在2009年1月，當時薩托島中田（Satoshi Nakamoto）在第二塊街區開采的交易中支付了Hal Finney 0.01比特幣。

These pioneers began mining bitcoin using home computers, generating block rewards that were worthless at the time, since bitcoin had not yet been exchanged for anything in the real world.

這些先驅者開始使用家用計算機開採比特幣，從而產生當時毫無價值的塊獎勵，因為比特幣尚未換成現實世界中的任何東西。

But the idea of using bitcoin in real-world scenarios soon gained traction. The first known commercial transaction happened on May 22, 2010, when a user exchanged 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas from Papa John's. This moment, which is annually remembered as Bitcoin Pizza Day, gave bitcoin an exchange rate of $0.0041.

但是在實際情況下使用比特幣的想法很快就引起了人們的關注。首次已知的商業交易發生在2010年5月22日，當時用戶從爸爸約翰（Papa John's）換了10,000個比特幣作為兩個比薩餅。這一刻每年被記住為比特幣比薩日，使比特幣的匯率為0.0041美元。

At the time, many people thought the transaction was a joke, but it helped introduce bitcoin to a broader audience and sparked interest in the technology. It also marked the beginning of bitcoin's journey from a cryptography project to a global monetary network.

當時，許多人認為交易是個玩笑，但它幫助將比特幣引入了更廣泛的受眾群體，並引起了對技術的興趣。它還標誌著比特幣從密碼項目到全球貨幣網絡的旅程的開始。

As the article further explained, bitcoin's evolution is marked by significant events that helped it mature from a niche cryptography research project into a global phenomenon.

正如文章進一步解釋的那樣，比特幣的進化是重大事件的標誌，這些事件使其從小眾密碼學研究項目成熟到全球現像中。

Some of these events, or milestones, changed how the world views, trades and holds this unique digital asset.

其中一些事件或里程碑改變了世界的看法，交易和持有這種獨特的數字資產。

In the beginning, peer-to-peer trades and small online forums were the only way to buy or sell bitcoin. Then, dedicated exchanges started to emerge, offering a more familiar trading environment. However, these early platforms often struggled with security, liquidity and regulatory uncertainty.

一開始，點對點交易和小型在線論壇是買賣比特幣的唯一方法。然後，專門的交流開始出現，提供了更熟悉的交易環境。但是，這些早期平台通常在安全，流動性和監管不確定性上苦苦掙扎。

Over time, many small exchanges either closed down or merged with better-capitalized rivals. This consolidation led to a handful of reputable trading platforms that made it simpler for newcomers to buy bitcoin with their local currency.

隨著時間的流逝，許多小型交流要么關閉，要么與更好的競爭對手合併。這種合併導致了一些著名的交易平台，這使得新移民以當地貨幣購買比特幣變得更加簡單。

This shift toward more professional operations helped bolster market confidence and further legitimized bitcoin as a tradable asset.

向更專業的運營轉變有助於增強市場信心，並進一步將比特幣作為可交易資產合法化。

Bitcoin's underlying software is open source, meaning anyone in the world can look at the code and propose changes. Occasionally, disagreements over technical direction trigger "forks," creating new versions of the software or entirely separate networks.

比特幣的基礎軟件是開源的，這意味著世界上任何人都可以查看代碼並提出更改。有時，在技術方向上的分歧觸發了“叉”，創建軟件的新版本或完全獨立的網絡。
