The crypto is also becoming a popular alternative to government-backed fiat currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, which tend to lose value over time due to inflation.

加密货币也正在成为政府支持的法定货币（例如美元）的流行替代品，随着时间的推移，美元往往会因通货膨胀而贬值。

What is bitcoin?

Bitcoin runs on a groundbreaking blockchain-based network powered by a collection of global users. It allows anyone with internet access worldwide to make financial transactions that completely circumvent banks or other financial or government intermediaries.

Bitcoin’s security system is centered on its cryptography. All bitcoin transactions are validated by miners, who use high-powered computers to solve complex mathematical puzzles and create new blocks of verified transactions on the blockchain.

比特币的安全系统以其密码学为中心。所有比特币交易均由矿工验证，他们使用高性能计算机来解决复杂的数学难题，并在区块链上创建新的经过验证的交易块。

In the 15 years since bitcoin launched, it has inspired thousands of other cryptocurrencies. While many additional cryptos have become hugely successful, bitcoin remains the most valuable and popular cryptocurrency globally.

自比特币推出以来的 15 年里，它启发了数千种其他加密货币。尽管许多其他加密货币已经取得了巨大成功，但比特币仍然是全球最有价值和最受欢迎的加密货币。

How is bitcoin’s price determined?

Because bitcoin does not represent ownership of tangible assets and does not generate earnings, revenue or cash flow, the price of bitcoin is determined exclusively by supply and demand.

比特币的价格是如何决定的？由于比特币不代表有形资产的所有权，也不产生收益、收入或现金流，因此比特币的价格完全由供需决定。

Bitcoin’s network automatically releases new bitcoins to miners each time they verify and add a new block of transactions to the blockchain. The total supply of bitcoin is capped at 21 million BTC.

每次矿工验证并向区块链添加新的交易块时，比特币网络都会自动向矿工释放新的比特币。比特币的总供应量上限为 2100 万比特币。

Given bitcoin’s fixed supply, demand is the primary variable determining its price. This demand fluctuates based largely on investor sentiment.

鉴于比特币的供应量是固定的，需求是决定其价格的主要变量。这种需求的波动很大程度上取决于投资者的情绪。

Bitcoin’s starting price

The first recorded price of bitcoin came in late 2009 when users in the BitcoinTalk online forum exchanged 5,050 BTC for $5.02 via PayPal. This transaction valued bitcoin at about $0.00099 per BTC, or about one-tenth of a cent.

比特币的起始价格 比特币的首次记录价格出现在 2009 年底，当时 BitcoinTalk 在线论坛的用户通过 PayPal 将 5,050 比特币兑换成 5.02 美元。这笔交易对比特币的估值约为每 BTC 0.00099 美元，即十分之一美分。

Bitcoin halving dates

Each time 210,000 blocks of transactions are added to the bitcoin blockchain, the network automatically undergoes a process known as halving.

比特币减半日期每当 210,000 个交易块添加到比特币区块链时，网络就会自动经历一个称为减半的过程。

Bitcoin miners receive a set amount of BTC as a reward for their services to validate a block. But that reward is cut in half each time a halving occurs. In other words, about once every four years, bitcoin miners get a 50% pay cut.

比特币矿工会收到一定数量的 BTC 作为他们验证区块的服务的奖励。但每次减半，奖励就会减少一半。换句话说，大约每四年，比特币矿工就会减薪 50%。

Bitcoin halving is important in limiting bitcoin’s supply and theoretically supporting its price.

比特币减半对于限制比特币的供应并理论上支撑其价格非常重要。

The next halving is expected in April 2024 when the block reward price will fall from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC.

Does bitcoin halving increase BTC’s price?

Bitcoin halvings reduce the supply of new BTC, so they would theoretically be good for bitcoin prices.

比特币减半会增加比特币的价格吗？比特币减半会减少新比特币的供应，因此理论上对比特币价格有利。

But a halving doesn’t directly impact the price of bitcoin. So it’s not a guaranteed bullish catalyst. Historically, bitcoin prices have reached a cyclical bottom roughly a year before a halving occurs, and then BTC prices rise for more than a year after the halving.

但减半并不会直接影响比特币的价格。因此，这并不是一个保证看涨的催化剂。从历史上看，比特币价格在减半发生前大约一年就达到了周期性底部，然后在减半后比特币价格上涨了一年多。

A history of bitcoin prices

The first online bitcoin exchanges emerged in 2010. The price per coin grew from the $1 threshold in 2011.

比特币价格的历史第一个在线比特币交易所出现于 2010 年。每枚比特币的价格从 2011 年的 1 美元门槛开始上涨。
