一个名叫中本聪的人于2009年发明比特币。中本聪的真实身份不得而知，可能是一个人，也可能是一个团体或机构。美国全国广播公司财经频道(CNBC)报道称，一名前美国太空探索技术公司(SpaceX)实习生今年早些时候发表博客称，该公司CEO马斯克或许就是中本聪，但这一说法遭到马斯克的否认。
In 2009, a man named Bennett invented Bitcoin. His true identity is unknown, either as a person or as a group or institution. The National Broadcasting Corporation (CNBC) reported that an intern from the former Space Exploration Technology Corporation (SpaceX) had published a blog earlier this year saying that the company’s CEO Muske may be a mid-sight, but that claim was denied by Musk.
拥有大量比特币的人被称为“比特币大鲸”。彭博社报道称，大概1000人控制了全球约40%的比特币。CNBC则列出了一些因为投资比特币而赚得盆满钵满的人。
People with large amounts of bitcoin are called “bitcoin whales.” Bloomberg reports that about 1,000 people control about 40% of the world’s bitcoins. CNBC lists a number of people who have made a lot of money by investing in bitcoin.
2013年，当比特币的单价只有120美元时，文克莱沃斯兄弟投资了1100万美元购买比特币，而今他们拥有的比特币价值已超过10亿美元。罗杰-维尔被称为“比特币耶稣”，他在2011年投资2.5万美元购买比特币，目前这笔投资已价值4.25亿美元。也有传言称，维尔共拥有约30万枚比特币，价值约54亿美元。另一个比特币早期投资人查理-史瑞姆曾以3美元到20美元的单价买入数千枚比特币，他目前拥有约5000枚比特币，价值约9000万美元。
In 2013, when Bitcoins had a unit value of only $120, the Von Cleves brothers invested $11 million in bitcoins, and today they own bitcoins worth more than $1 billion. Roger-Vir, known as “bitcoins Jesus,” invested $25,000 in 2011 to buy bitcoins, which are now worth $425 million. There are rumours that Ville has about 300,000 bitcoins worth about $5.4 billion. Charlie Srem, another early Bitcoin investor, bought thousands of bitcoins at a single price of $3 to $20. He currently owns about 5,000 bitcoins worth about $90 million.
《华盛顿邮报》12月4日撰文指出，今年以来比特币价格暴涨，甚至一些主流交易机构也开始提供比特币的交易服务，不少人对投资比特币跃跃欲试。不过，比特币作为一种仍处在试验阶段的高投机性数字资产，其发展仍存在很大的不确定性，因此对比特币投资仍应慎重。▲ (甄 翔)
The Washington Post wrote on 4 December that Bitcoin prices have soared since this year, that even mainstream trading agencies have begun to offer bitcoin trading services, and that a number of people are eager to invest bitcoin. However, Bitcoin, as a highly speculative digital asset still in its experimental phase, is still a highly uncertain development, so it should remain prudent to invest in bitcoin.
