“狗狗幣”市值突破20億美元！沒錯，就是大家熟知的那個Doge

This cryptocurrency just reached a $2 billion market capitalization this weekend. Dogecoin doubled its market capitalization over the past two weeks.

上周末，“狗狗幣”的市值剛剛達(dá)到了20億美元。在過去的兩周里，這種加密貨幣的市值漲了一倍。

According to Coinmarket, Dogecoin has since cooled to about $1.7 billion after hitting its fresh all-time high.

據(jù)Coinmarket稱，“狗狗幣”市值在創(chuàng)下歷史新高后，已經(jīng)回落到17億美元。

Dogecoin was created by programmer Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon, who hoped to create a fun cryptocurrency that could reach a broader demographic than bitcoin. In addition, he wanted to distance it from the controversial history of other coins, mainly bitcoins.

“狗狗幣”是俄勒岡州波特蘭市程序員比利•馬庫斯發(fā)明的，他希望打造一種能比“比特幣”吸引更廣泛人群的加密貨幣。此外，他還希望將這種貨幣與比特幣等其他數(shù)字貨幣的“黑歷史”撇清關(guān)系。

After receiving several mentions on Twitter, Palmer purchased the domain dogecoin.com and added a splash screen, which featured the coin's logo and scattered Comic Sans text. Markus saw the site linked in an IRC chat room, and started efforts to create the currency after reaching out to Palmer.

在推特上得到一些響應(yīng)后，帕默爾購買了Dogecoin.com的域名，在網(wǎng)站上放了閃屏，加上了“狗狗幣”的標(biāo)志，以及零星的漫畫體文字。馬庫斯在IRC聊天室中看到“狗狗幣”網(wǎng)站的鏈接，在與帕默爾接觸后，他開始努力編制“狗狗幣”。

Dogecoin is a fun, new and rapidly growing form of digital currency.

“狗狗幣”是一種好玩、新穎且正在迅速發(fā)展的數(shù)字貨幣形式。

This form of digital currency is called "cryptocurrency". Cryptocurrency is completely anonymous, decentralized, and extremely secure.

“狗狗幣”是一種“加密貨幣”，這種形式的數(shù)字貨幣完全匿名、去中心化、非常安全。

Dogecoin is used with a wallet on your computer, your smartphone, or a website. 你可以在電腦、智能手機或者網(wǎng)站上使用錢包工具里的“狗狗幣”。

You can use it to buy goods and services, or trade it for other currencies (both other cryptocurrencies or traditional currency like US dollars).

它可以用來購買商品、服務(wù)或其他貨幣(包括其他加密貨幣以及美元等傳統(tǒng)貨幣)。

Like other cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin can be mined or purchased on exchanges.

和其他加密貨幣一樣，你可以在交易所搜尋或購買“狗狗幣”。

One of the most popular uses for Dogecoin is "tipping" fellow internet-goers who create or share great content. Think of it as a more meaningful "like" or upvote, with real value that can be used all across the internet.

“狗狗幣”最流行的用法是“打賞”互聯(lián)網(wǎng)優(yōu)質(zhì)內(nèi)容創(chuàng)作或分享者。可以把其理解為一種更有意義的“點贊”。這種“點贊”具有真實的價值，并且全網(wǎng)通用。

Investors who missed out on bitcoin's rapid rise are looking for cryptocurrency alternatives.

錯過比特幣暴漲的投資者正在尋找替代加密貨幣。

FOMO, or the fear of missing out, is driving investors to seek other cryptocrrencies that haven't experienced the same explosive growth that Bitcoin and Ethereum have.

害怕錯過的心理驅(qū)使投資者尋找未曾像“比特幣”和“以太幣”那樣經(jīng)歷過爆炸性增長的其他加密貨幣。
