這 10 個行業正在歡迎加密貨幣的加入

自從比特幣和其他加密貨幣出現以來大約 15 年以來，隨著有關比特幣和其他加密貨幣的各種炒作和頭條新聞，越來越多的行業開始歡迎它

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have been making headlines for the past 15 years. Now, more and more industries are starting to accept them. At first, people only thought of cryptocurrencies as an investment, and a risky one at that. But now, they are also being used as a currency in their own right.

過去 15 年來，比特幣和其他加密貨幣一直成為頭條新聞。現在，越來越多的行業開始接受它們。起初，人們只認為加密貨幣是一種投資，而且是一種有風險的投資。但現在，它們本身也被用作貨幣。

However, there are still some things about cryptocurrencies that people don't understand. For example, not many people can fully explain what the halving event in April really meant. And for some, the whole concept of blockchain is still a mystery.

然而，關於加密貨幣，仍然有一些人們不理解的地方。例如，沒有多少人能夠完全解釋四月減半事件的真正意義。對某些人來說，區塊鏈的整個概念仍然是一個謎。

Despite this, several industries have shown a pioneering spirit and been attracted by the unique characteristics of crypto. These characteristics include the truly “cross-border” nature of this form of payment, which means there is no need for currency conversion or fluctuating exchange rates. The blockchain also ensures almost total security for all transactions, not to mention confidentiality.

儘管如此，一些行業還是展現了開拓精神，並被加密貨幣的獨特特徵所吸引。這些特徵包括這種支付方式真正的「跨境」性質，這意味著不需要貨幣兌換或匯率波動。區塊鏈也確保所有交易幾乎完全安全，更不用說保密性了。

So, when online fraud is steadily rising, we could expect to see many other sectors added to this ten.

因此，當網路詐騙穩定上升時，我們預計會看到許多其他行業加入這十個行業。

Social Media

社群媒體

Media that only exist online should be some of the first to start promoting and using cryptocurrencies. It’s rumored that a number of social media networks are considering launching their own currencies. Facebook indeed has a failed attempt behind it with the ill-fated Diem coin. It is hard to see how the company’s vision of the metaverse will come to fruition without a workable cryptocurrency.

僅存在於網路上的媒體應該是最早開始推廣和使用加密貨幣的媒體。有傳言稱，許多社群媒體網路正在考慮推出自己的貨幣。 Facebook 背後確實有一次失敗的嘗試，就是命運多舛的 Diem 幣。如果沒有可行的加密貨幣，很難想像該公司的虛擬宇宙願景將如何實現。

iGaming

網路博弈

Another sector that has been tailor-made for cryptocurrency adoption is iGaming in all of its forms. Many games have relied on in-play purchases to generate revenue, and more and more are now accepting crypto payments. The online casino world is a related sector that is gradually warming to the idea of this form of payment. The security and anonymity of payments are obviously a big appeal. The demographic who visit online casinos is also absolutely targeted. Essentially, if they’re dedicated enough to learn all about blackjack rules, they’re also up for using new forms of currency.

另一個專為加密貨幣採用而量身定制的領域是各種形式的 iGaming。許多遊戲都依賴遊戲內購買來產生收入，現在越來越多的遊戲接受加密貨幣支付。線上賭場世界是一個相關行業，逐漸接受這種支付形式的想法。支付的安全性和匿名性顯然是一個很大的吸引力。訪問線上賭場的人群也絕對是目標人群。本質上，如果他們足夠專注於了解二十一點規則，他們也願意使用新形式的貨幣。

The Hotel Industry

飯店業

Many of the world’s major hotel and restaurant chains now offer the opportunity to pay with cryptocurrency. So much business is conducted online and internationally. So, it’s an area where crypto’s stateless nature makes it a convenient option for both guest and hospitality providers.

世界上許多主要的飯店和連鎖餐廳現在都提供使用加密貨幣支付的機會。很多業務都是在網路上和國際上進行的。因此，加密貨幣的無國籍性質使其成為賓客和飯店服務提供者的便利選擇。

The Travel Industry

觀光業

For many of the same reasons, the travel industry is increasingly accepting cryptocurrency payments for tickets, reservations, and tours. Some have even begun offering clients special packages and other bonuses using this payment method.

出於許多同樣的原因，旅遊業越來越多地接受加密貨幣支付門票、預訂和旅遊。有些甚至開始使用這種付款方式向客戶提供特殊套餐和其他獎金。

Education

教育

The international nature of many educational institutions means that many of their students travel from abroad. That means accepting fee payments via cryptocurrency is a logical step forward. It can include quite sizeable sums running into the tens of thousands of dollars. It’s also a way to eliminate the hefty transaction fees that most conventional banks typically charge.

許多教育機構的國際性質意味著許多學生來自國外。這意味著透過加密貨幣接受費用支付是合乎邏輯的一步。它可能包括相當大的金額，達到數萬美元。這也是消除大多數傳統銀行通常收取的高額交易費用的一種方法。

Media and entertainment

媒體與娛樂

Streaming has replaced the more traditional ways that media and entertainment have been accessed in the past. Similarly, the time has been ripe for a new form of payment. Cryptocurrencies emerged as a fast and efficient method for home entertainment and buying tickets to live “real world” events.

串流媒體已經取代了過去訪問媒體和娛樂的更傳統方式。同樣，採用新的支付方式的時機也已經成熟。加密貨幣成為家庭娛樂和購買現場「現實世界」活動門票的一種快速有效的方法。

Payment gateways

支付網關

There have never been quite so many payment gateways available as there are today, offering greater choice than ever before. Many are now accepting a wide range of cryptocurrencies to expand their services further, not simply Bitcoin.

從來沒有像今天這樣多的支付網關，提供了比以往更多的選擇。許多人現在接受各種加密貨幣來進一步擴展他們的服務，而不僅僅是比特幣。

Healthcare

衛生保健

In many countries where healthcare requires direct payment to the providers, this is increasingly being facilitated through cryptocurrencies. South Korea is a technological leader in many fields. Unsurprisingly, many of its leading hospitals in its capital, Seoul, allow patients to pay in cryptos. Thousands of miles away in Poland, Bitcoin is also welcomed as payment for a wide range of medical services.

在許多醫療保健需要直接向提供者付款的國家，加密貨幣越來越多地促進這一點。韓國在許多領域都處於技術領先地位。毫不奇怪，首都首爾的許多領先醫院都允許患者使用加密貨幣付款。在千里之外的波蘭，比特幣作為各種醫療服務的支付方式也受到歡迎。

Trading Platforms

交易平台

Our final two examples are hardly a big surprise. The first is the trading platform on which cryptocurrencies are bought, sold, and exchanged. An increasing number of these platforms are in operation, so competition is fierce. That is good news for customers wanting to make a trade.

我們的最後兩個例子並不令人意外。第一個是購買、出售和交換加密貨幣的交易平台。越來越多的此類平台正在運營，因此競爭非常激烈。這對想要進行交易的客戶來說是個好消息。

Banking

銀行業

Banks were initially reluctant to engage with cryptocurrencies, seeing them as a threat. They are now increasingly accepting cryptos. Many are even using the blockchain that sits behind crypto as a method of transaction. We may soon see the first actual cryptocurrency created by a bank.

銀行最初不願意參與加密貨幣，將其視為威脅。他們現在越來越多地接受加密貨幣。許多人甚至使用加密貨幣背後的區塊鏈作為交易方法。我們可能很快就會看到銀行創建的第一個實際的加密貨幣。

So, as time passes, many more sectors will undoubtedly join these in championing cryptocurrencies. For many, this can’t come soon enough.

因此，隨著時間的推移，毫無疑問會有更多的行業加入支持加密貨幣的行列。對許多人來說，這一切來得還不夠快。
