Bitcoin’s Genesis block, which was mined on January 3, 2009, at 18:15:05 UTC, is now 10 years old.
比特幣的Genesis區塊於2009年1月3日18:15:05 UTC開採，現已有10年曆史。
The Bitcoin Network Turns 10
比特幣網絡變成10
The marking of the 10th anniversary of Bitcoin’s block 0 is, however, not to be confused with the Bitcoin whitepaper’s 10th birthday which was commemorated last year on October 31 in remembrance of the day the whitepaper titled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” was released.
然而，比特幣0區10週年紀念活動的舉行，並不與去年10月31日紀念比特幣白皮書“比特幣：對等電子現金系統”發佈之日的10週年紀念活動相混淆。
As CCN reported earlier, Seychelles-based bitcoin exchange, BitMEX, has marked the day by placing an ad on the front page of the British daily The Times with the message “Thanks Satoshi. We owe you one. Happy 10th Birthday, Bitcoin.”
正如CCN早些時候報道的，總部位於塞舌爾的比特幣交易所Bitmex在英國《泰晤士報》的頭版登了一則廣告，上面寫著“謝謝Satoshi”。我們欠你一個。10歲生日快樂，比特幣。”
That’s Clever…
那很聰明......
BitMEX’s purchase of ad space in The Times is not random, as on the day that the genesis block was mined, Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, embedded a headline that had graced the paper on that day reading: “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”
Bitmex在《泰晤士報》上購買廣告空間並非隨機，與《創世紀》板塊開採當天一樣，比特幣的創建者中本聰（Satoshi Nakamoto）嵌入了當天報紙上的一條標題：“即將對銀行進行第二次救助的財政大臣”。
This was at the height of the global financial crisis when major financial institutions, especially in the United States and Europe, were being bailed out. The headline was in reference to the plans by the then-Chancellor of the Exchequer in the United Kingdom, Alistair Darling, to bail out British banks for the second time.
這是在全球金融危機最嚴重的時候，主要的金融機構，特別是在美國和歐洲，正在得到救助。這則頭條新聞提到了當時英國財政大臣阿利斯泰爾達林（AlistairDarling）第二次救助英國銀行的計劃。
Notably, the global financial crisis is understood to have inspired Nakamoto to develop an alternative currency which would not be debased by governments and which would not require trust to be placed in a centralized institution. This was made clear in a forum post he published on February 11, 2009:
值得注意的是，據瞭解，全球金融危機促使中本發展了一種替代貨幣，這種貨幣不會被政府貶低，也不需要將信託置於中央機構。這在他於2009年2月11日發表的一篇論壇帖子中明確表示：
The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve.
傳統貨幣的根本問題是它運作所需的所有信任。必須相信央行不會貶低貨幣，但法定貨幣的歷史充滿了對這種信任的破壞。銀行必須被信任來持有我們的錢並以電子方式轉移，但是他們在信貸泡沫的浪潮中把它借出，而儲備卻只有一小部分。
History Repeating Itself?
歷史將會重演？
Incidentally, just as there was gloomy economic news this day ten years ago in The Times, the same seems to have repeated itself on the day BitMEX’s ad has graced the paper’s front page. The headline story, for instance, calls attention to student debt, which has for some time now raised concerns that just like the sub-prime mortgages triggered the financial crisis of 2008/2009, educational loans could also lead the world into another financial crisis.
順便說一句，正如十年前的《泰晤士報》今天有一則悲觀的經濟新聞一樣，在Bitmex的廣告登上報紙頭版的那一天，同樣的情況似乎又重演了一遍。例如，這則頭條新聞呼籲人們關注學生債務，一段時間以來，人們一直擔心，就像次級抵押貸款引發了2008/2009年的金融危機一樣，教育貸款也可能導致世界陷入另一場金融危機。
Additionally, The Times also featured a story suggesting that the world could be heading into an economic growth slowdown after iPhone maker Apple revised its guidance for the first quarter downwards due to weakening sales in China.
此外，《紐約時報》還刊登了一則報道，稱在iPhone製造商蘋果（Apple）因中國銷售疲軟而修訂了其第一季度下行指導方針後，全球經濟增長可能會放緩。
