Bitcoin

Seven Years After:

Getting Stronger

比特币，七年后：变得更强

The year 2009 saw the world still suffering from the financial crisis. While this was happening, a certain Satoshi Nakamoto released a paper describing the digital currency called Bitcoin. It was January 3, 2009 when it was introduced, and it changed the way people handled their funds and altered the course of currency transactions. 2009年，正值世界金融危机爆发之际，Satoshi Nakamoto 最早提出了数字货币“比特币”。2009年1 月3日，比特币被正式引入，它不仅改变了人们处理资金的方式，还变革了货币交易方式。 Released as an open-source software, Bitcoin allows users to transact directly with each other without an intermediary. It is rather an improved way of fund transfer without the hassle of having to pay additional fees charged for fiat currency transactions.Using a block chain or a public ledger that records Bitcoin transactions, the digital currency promotes security by adopting user anonymity. More importantly, it is decentralized—that is, it is not governed by a single entity like a central bank. 作为一种开发的软件，比特币允许用户直接交易，而无需中间商。这是一种更加便利的资金转移方式，无需支付额外费用，不像法定货币交易需要额外费用。比特币使用分块或公共分类帐记录交易。由于采用匿名交易，这种数字货币提高了交易安全性。 FEBRUARY 2016

更重要的是，比特币交易是分散的，不受到像中央银行的监管。

Bitcoin through the years 近年比特币发展趋势 Seven years later, Bitcoin is still standing, and looking at it now, the so-called ﬁrst cryptocurrency is getting the recognition it deserves. In fact, many believe that the year 2016 will be the time that Bitcoin is already set to enter the mainstream. As time passed, the digital currency preserved in its passionate yearning to achieve progress, having avoided many obstacles along the way especially during its earlier years when it was criticized by many. 七年后，比特币仍然屹立不倒，现在比特币已经是得到了应有的认可。事实上，很多人认为， 2016年比特币将会进入主流。随着时间的流逝，数字货币在不断的发展，在过去的几年中，特别是早期，比特币跨越了许多障碍。 Indeed, one of the main highlights of Bitcoin’s 7-year existence is its increase in value. In 2010, a user named “lazlo” made the ﬁrst real-world Bitcoin transaction when he bought two pizzas in Jacksonville, Florida for 10,000 BTC. By 2013, it reached the US$ 1,000 mark. Over time, it became apparent that the price of the digital currency displayed instability,

due to it volatile nature as well as other factors that contribute to its movement in the market. Right now, the BTC price is trading at around $400. 事实上，比特币7来的主要亮点是增值。2010，一个名为“lazlo” 的人首次使用比特币交易，他在佛罗里达州的 Jacksonville 用 10000 比特币买了两个比萨饼。到2013年，其价值达到了1000美元。随着时间的推移，很明显，数字货币的价格表现的不稳定，由于它容易波动的自然本性及其他因素。现在，比特币的价格在 400美元左右。 Though Bitcoin is still on the cusp of achieving adoption on a worldwide scale, numerous markets have integrated the digital currency into their systems—an indication of its potential to ﬁnd success this 2016. Merchants within the sphere of information technology (IT), e-commerce, and other related industries have recently embraced the power of the BTC as an alternative form of payment. It is even projected that even small-scale businesses and entrepreneurs are close to recognizing the beneﬁts of the cryptocurrency and the demand that goes along with it. 虽然比特币在全球范围内正被逐步使用，许多市场已经把比特币整合到其系统，2016年，比特币的广泛使用会更加明显。信息技术领域（IT）、电子商务、招商等相关行业都把比特币作为一种潜在的支付方式。据预计，即使是小规模的企业和企业家都意识到加密货币的利益和需求。

FEBRUARY 2016

The status of Bitcoin gambling 比特币在博彩领域的应用 Indeed, Bitcoin has established a niche market that could propel the cryptocurrency to attain its primary objective of giving individuals a secure, convenient, and affordable means of fund transfer. n fact, one of the many industries that boomed upon accepting Bitcoin as an alternative mode of payment is the iGaming industry. True enough, the rise of Bitcoin paved the way for its penetration towards a field where real money transactions seems to be gradually losing their power and importance. The currency’s features makes it a perfect fit for an industry that is known for its diversity, particularly in terms of anonymity, which is what the players basically want when they play games. 事实上，比特币已经形成一个具有商机的市场，可以推动加密货币达到更高层次，为个人提供安全、方便、实惠的资金转移。其中一个比特币使用市场是网上博彩业，网络博彩将采用比特币收付款。比特币在每个领域的使用，将使得真正的货币交易失去原有的重要性。由于比特币的多样性和隐蔽性，使得比特币深受玩家的喜爱。 Right now, there are still some Internet casino sites that are yet to accept Bitcoin as a payment method. Though that is currently the case, many gambling businesses are still

continuously ﬁnding ways to attract customers by providing them the best services, including the aspect of payments. It is more likely, then, that people are going to prefer making deposits and cashing out their winnings and bonuses in BTC. Surely, many of these operators are bound to consider this given the advantages of the digital currency over ﬁat money transactions. 现在，仍有一些网络博彩网站，尚未接受比特币作为付款方式。目前，许多赌博企业仍在不断寻找方法来吸引客户，如提供更好的服务，包括支付方式。很可能玩家会更喜欢用比特币存款和兑现。越来越多的博彩运营商将会意识到数字货币比法定货币更加具有优越性。 The features that Bitcoin has, from convenience to anonymity, allows the digital currency to get close to shifting to another level within the industry, in which the transactions are not monitored by a regulatory body. Essentially, it is still possible for players to get hold of BTC and use the currency to play online casino games even if their place of origin heavily prohibits visiting such sites. Unless BTC is banned for use in their respective countries, the cryptocurrency will still be utilized, which means that operators won’t be having a hard time integrating Bitcoin into their existing payment methods.

并用于网络博彩支付。比特币在某些国家被禁止使用，然而加密货币仍将被广泛用于支付。 Truly, technology has changed the way of how we deal with a lot of things, including how we deposit and withdraw funds. Seven years since it first started, Bitcoin provided us a fresh approach to engaging in transactions easier without the hassle of getting tracked. Indeed, Bitcoin provides us a glimpse to a future, wherein fiat money could potentially be out and digital currencies become the “in” thing, regardless of industry. It definitely goes without saying that Bitcoin is on its way to achieving full strength in various economic areas. 科技已经改变了我们处理很多事情的方式，包括如何存款和取款。七年来，比特币为我们提供了一个崭新的支付方式，而不被监管。比特币的前景让我们可以想象，未来法定货币可能会被数字货币超越，不管什么行业，比特币将在未来经济领域广泛使用。

比特币的方便和匿名特点，使数字货币有发展的空间，比特币交易是不受机构监管的，从而它的使用时完全合法的。基本上，玩家可以持有比特币，

C H I NE S E N E W Y E A R F E AT U R E 中国春节特辑

Chinese New Year 2016: Year of the Red Fire Monkey 2016中国猴年 February 8, 2016 will be a highly important and major holiday not just among the Chinese in the mainland and the special administrative regions of Macau and Hong Kong, but also in countries with large Chinese populations. It is on this date that everyone will be ushering in the Chinese (Lunar) New Year, also known as Spring Festival. 2016 年2月 8 日是中国内陆，港澳台及海外华人华侨的传统节日，中国新年，也叫春节。

FEBRUARY 2016

Acenturies-old tradition, it is of great significance among the Chinese and non-Chinese alike due to its many connected myths and customs. Commonly a festival to honor deities and ancestors, it is centered on the popular themes of “good fortune” or “happiness,” as well as “longevity” and “wealth.” In China, for instance, it is customary for families to gather around the table for a reunion dinner on the eve of the Chinese New Year’s Day. It is also common for families to do general cleaning as a way of removing any bad vibes in order to welcome good luck. Red-colored papers containing messages of fortune and happiness are found posted on windows and doors of Chinese homes. Of course, the Chinese New Year will be full of merrymaking, highlighted with parades of dancing lions and dragons with matching firecrackers on the streets, not to mention giving out red paper envelopes filled with money. 几千年的中国传统，中国的春节充满神话和风俗。普遍的认为是敬神和敬祖的节日，祈求好运，幸福，健康，长寿。在中国，例如，家家户户除夕夜的团圆饭，春节前的大扫除预示除旧迎新，还有贴对联，舞狮舞龙，放鞭炮，互赠红包等。

Festival. For 2016, this will be from February 8 up until February 22.

传统上，春天的庆祝从除夕夜开始到正月十五元宵节结束。 2016, 春节是2月8号到2月22号。 2016: Year of the Red Fire Monkey 2016猴年 Apart from the themes of unity, joy, and good fortune, the celebration of the Chinese New Year won’t be complete without taking a glance at Chinese astrology. Indeed, many Chinese and non-Chinese alike obtain information from Chinese astrologers about what lies ahead throughout the year for them through the Shēngxiào, or also known as the Chinese zodiacs.

Traditionally, the celebration of the Spring Festival starts on the night before the Chinese New Year’s Day and ends on the ﬁfteenth day, which is the Lantern

FEBRUARY 2016

In fact, as the Spring Festival is fast approaching, Chinese horoscope forecasts within the aspects of health, love, ﬁnance, and career, among others, are becoming plentiful. 春节的主题除了好运，团结，欢庆，还有星象。中国人，华人华侨会通过生肖占卜他们的命运。随着新年的来临，很多人占卜他们的命运如健康、爱情、财富和事业。

In general, the Monkey in the Chinese zodiac has its unique characteristics of being curious, mischievous, and clever. Prone to making practical jokes, the Monkey can sometimes hurt the feelings of others, even if their intentions are good. Also known for their intellect and creativity, they are known to sometimes have a hard time displaying these traits. Others, in turn, would call them as confused. Then again, they are known to ﬂourish amidst challenges. 总体上，猴具有好奇、淘气、和聪明的独特特性。属猴的人喜欢开玩笑，不过有时可能容易伤害别人，虽然意图是好的。他们有出众的智力和创造力，有时也很难展现自己，他们在挑战中有很好的表现。

Basically, the upcoming New Year is the Year of the Monkey, starting on February 8, 2016 and ending on January 27, 2017. In the 12 Chinese zodiac signs, the Monkey is the 9th of the 12 animals, succeeding the Sheep and preceding the Rooster. The last Years of the Monkey occurred in 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956, 1944, 1932, and 1920. 猴年，从 2016 年2月 8 日到 2017 年1月 27 日.在 12 生肖中，猴排在第9 位，在羊和鸡之间。之前的猴年是 2004,1992,1980,1968,1956,1944,1 932 1920.

FEBRUARY 2016

Meanwhile, since Chinese astrology also takes into account the Five Elements (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, Earth), the year 2016 is likewise called the Year of the Red Fire Monkey. Known as the most active and aggressive of the elemental Monkeys, the Fire Monkey is certainly dominant, taking leadership roles a second nature to him. Though competitive, he should try not to become overwhelmed by it or he might get extremely jealous. Also, the Monkey’s quick impulse and ﬁery agility makes him quite reckless, which can sometimes be advantageous to him. Despite that, the Fire Monkey is full of charm and is sociable. 同时，中国的星象也考虑五行（金、水、木、火，土），所以2016是红火猴年。猴子的活跃，积极性是第二本性，使得猴子处于领导角色。不过在竞争中，可能会有嫉妒心理。猴子的灵敏和活跃让他不顾一切，有时也是有利的一面，此外猴子也是充满魔力和善于社交的。

03. Avoid urging someone to get up. 忌叫他人姓名催人起床。

02. Avoid eating porridge and meat. 早餐忌吃稀飯、葷食及藥品。 Traditionally, only the poor eat porridge, so the ﬁrst day of Spring Festival, you must eat rice.

Avoid calling the name of your family member to wake up from his or her sleep. Doing so means that you will urge the person to do things consistently. 年初一的上午不要叫人姓名催人起床，這樣表示對方整年度都要人催促做事情。
