单价超六万美元的比特币，个人电脑全天不停挖矿，挖一个要多久？

提到近些年大火的比特币，相信大家都不陌生，比特币可以说是时下最为热门的投资方式了，经常听闻谁谁谁通过比特币交易摇身一变成了百万富翁。

Referring to the bitcoin of the fires of recent years and believing that everyone is familiar with it, bitcoin can be said to be the most popular form of investment in time, often hearing about who's the one who's turned into a millionaire through the Bitcoin deal.

在比特币最为风光的时候，一枚比特币单价就可以达到6万美元，虽然近期比特币的市场行情没有曾经那么火爆，但是其依然有着较为高昂的价格，很多人都纷纷加入到了“挖矿”的队伍之中，更有人甚至辞掉了自己的工作，将挖比特币作为一种赖以生存的职业，一心一意地“挖矿”，由此可见比特币的火爆程度。

At a time when Bitcoin was the best, a bitcoin unit price could reach $60,000. Although the market for bitcoin has not been as hot in the recent past, it still has relatively high prices, and many people have joined the “mining” team, and even quit their jobs, digging bitcoin as a subsistence occupation, with the aim of “drawing the mine”, which shows the extent of the bitcoin fire.

大家都听说过比特币，但是至于比特币到底是什么东西，可能没几个人能说的很清楚。那么什么是比特币呢？自从2009年比特币产生以来，时至今天，比特币已经经过了十多年的发展，比特币是区块链和数字加密货币的源头，是一种完全通过点对点技术实现的电子现金支付系统，它的存在可以使双方通过互联网直接进行交易，和我常说的P2P类似，但是比特币是一种去中心化的P2P模式，也就是无需通过中间商直接进行交易。

Everyone has heard of bitcoin, but it may not be clear what bitcoin is. So what bitcoin is? Since its inception in 2009, bitcoin has been developing for more than a decade. Bitcoin is the source of block chains and digitally encrypted money, an electronic cash payment system that is entirely done through point-to-point technology. Its existence allows both parties to make direct transactions via the Internet, similar to what I often call P2P, but Bitcoin is a decentralized P2P model, which does not require direct transactions through intermediaries.

总的来说，比特币就是一种虚拟的货币，它的数量是固定的，而且可以按照一定的汇率交换各个国家的货币，于此同时也可以把比特币当做是一种像黄金、股票一样的投资产品，价格会有一定程度的波动。

In general, Bitcoin is a virtual currency, its quantity is fixed and the currencies of individual countries can be exchanged at a certain rate of exchange, so that Bitcoin can also be regarded as an investment product, like gold and equities, with a certain degree of price volatility.

提到比特币就不得不提中本聪，在2008年经济危机横扫全球的时候，中本聪曾发表了一篇关于比特币的论文，在论文中完整地阐述了如何构建一套免去中心化的电子货币系统。比特币的发明者中本聪看到了传统货币的体系下的种种弊端，于是他就开始思考是否有这样一种货币的存在，不需要通过国家和其他的机构的管理，只通过数学符号、算法，就可以保持这个经济体系平稳运行，于是比特币就在这样的背景下问世了，但是在比特币逐渐发展成熟的时候，他却在这个时候突然从互联网中消失了，时至今日也没有人知道这位比特币的创始人究竟是何方神圣。

When it came to Bitcoin, which had to be mentioned, when the economic crisis swept across the globe in 2008, he published a paper on Bitcoin, in which he described in its entirety how to construct a non-centralized electronic monetary system. By the time Bitcoin’s inventors saw the pitfalls of the system of traditional currencies, he began to wonder whether there was such a currency, that it could be kept intact without the management of the State and other institutions, and that only mathematical symbols and algorithms, and that's where Bitcoin came to life, but when Bitco was maturing, he suddenly disappeared from the Internet at that time, and today no one knew what was sacred about the founder of Bitcoin.

比特币可以通过计算机获得，也就是所谓的挖矿，但是挖矿除了对于计算机的硬件有着较高的要求之外，还需要解决一些较为复杂的数学题，所以对于计算的算力要求非常高。按照最新的数据来算的话，当下比特币的全网的算力已经达到了每秒钟300亿次的哈希碰撞，即使是使用市面上配置最为强大的计算机来进行挖掘，一个普通用户至少也要超过500天才能挖到一枚比特币，当然这是在最理想的状态下，也许一个人吭哧吭哧地挖了好几年也没能挖到一枚，而这其中消耗的人力、物力是十分巨大的，按照一个比特币六万块来计算，五百天获得一个，平均每天可以获得120块，而刨去每天挖矿消耗的电费和硬件的消耗，最终每天的利润可能不到100块，而且由于比特币的数量是有限的，而且目前一部分比特币已经被其他人挖走。

Bitcoin has access to computers, the so-called mining, but there are more complex mathematical questions that need to be solved in addition to the hardware requirements of computers, so the calculation is very demanding. According to the latest data, the full network of bitcoin is 30 billion hits per second. Even using the most powerful computers on the market to dig, an ordinary user can only dig a bit more than 500 days, which is probably less than 100 dollars a day, because the number of bitcoins is limited and now a portion of the bitcoins has been cut by others.

其实挖比特币就是利用计算机进行解密，因为比特币的本质也就是进行加密处理后的虚拟货币。所以在比特币日益火爆的今天，要想挖到一枚比特币，可以说是想当的困难了，而且作为普通用户，如何在和专业挖矿团队的竞争中获得先机呢，试想一下，人家的人手比你多，设备比你专业，所以怎么可能赢得过别人呢。

In fact, digging bitcoin is using computers to decrypt because the essence of bitcoin is a virtual currency that is encrypted. So today, when bitcoin is getting hot, trying to get a bitcoin is a real challenge, and as an ordinary user, how can you get a lead in competition with a specialized mining team? Imagine how people have more hands and more equipment than you do, so how can they win someone else?

也许有很多人都曾经有过挖比特币的念头，甚至可能已经有不少人已经投入了实际行动，但是这里要说的是，目前还存在着的比特币数量已经十分有限，而且还存在着很多“矿队”，利用专业的设备保持24小时不间断地工作，即使是像这样，也很少会有什么大的收获，就不要提像你我这样的普通人了，也许投入了大量的时间和精力，到最后也只是一场空，所以在这里呼吁大家，平时好奇尝试一下可以，但是没有必要把“挖矿”当做是终生的事业，毕竟拥有一份稳定的全职工作才是我们所需要的，与其希望通过比特币发财，还不如兢兢业业地工作来得实在。

Perhaps many people have had the idea of digging bitcoin, and perhaps even a lot of people have been put into action, but here it is said that the number of bitcoin is already very limited, and there are many “miners” who work 24 hours a day, using professional equipment, and that there are few big gains, so let's not mention ordinary people like you and me, who may have invested a lot of time and energy, and in the end it's nothing, so let's call on everyone to be curious and try it, but there's no need to think of “mining” as a lifelong career. After all, having a stable full-time job is what we need, rather than trying to get paid by bitco, it's not as much as to do it with professionalism.
