比特币网络达到历史性里程碑：处理第十亿笔交易

比特币通过处理第 10 亿笔交易，达到了一个重要的里程碑，标志着其诞生 15 周年。这一重大事件发生在 2023 年 5 月 5 日，标志着加密货币多年来的显着增长和采用。这一里程碑恰逢比特币 Ordinals 和 Runes 等协议的出现以及现货比特币 ETF 的推出导致交易活动增加，从而增强了该代币的看涨情绪。

Bitcoin Network Surpasses One Billionth Transaction Milestone

比特币网络突破十亿次交易里程碑

New York, May 5, 2023 - The Bitcoin network has reached an extraordinary milestone today, processing its one billionth transaction. This momentous achievement marks a significant chapter in the cryptocurrency's 15-year history.

纽约，2023 年 5 月 5 日 - 比特币网络今天达到了一个非凡的里程碑，处理了第 10 亿笔交易。这一重大成就标志着加密货币 15 年历史的重要篇章。

The historic transaction, designated as #1,000,000,000, was mined at 9:34 pm UTC into block 842,241. This momentous event occurred 15 years, four months, and four days after the network's genesis block was mined by Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, on January 3, 2009.

这笔历史性交易被指定为#1,000,000,000，于世界标准时间晚上 9:34 开采到区块 842,241。这一重大事件发生在 2009 年 1 月 3 日比特币的匿名创建者中本聪 (Satoshi Nakamoto) 开采网络创世区块 15 年零四个月零四天之后。

Over the course of its extended existence, spanning 5,603 days, the Bitcoin network has processed an average of 178,475 transactions daily. It is noteworthy, however, that this figure excludes transactions conducted on the Lightning Network, a second-layer payment protocol built upon the Bitcoin blockchain.

在其长达 5,603 天的存在过程中，比特币网络平均每天处理 178,475 笔交易。然而值得注意的是，这个数字不包括在闪电网络上进行的交易，闪电网络是基于比特币区块链的第二层支付协议。

The billionth transaction milestone coincides with heightened activity on the Bitcoin network. In recent months, innovative protocols such as Bitcoin Ordinals and Runes have significantly increased the volume of transactions on the world's first blockchain. The launch of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has further contributed to positive sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency.

第 10 亿笔交易的里程碑与比特币网络上的活动加剧同时发生。近几个月来，比特币序数和符文等创新协议显着增加了世界上第一个区块链上的交易量。现货比特币交易所交易基金（ETF）的推出进一步促进了围绕加密货币的积极情绪。

Daily transactions on the Bitcoin network spiked around the network's fourth halving event on April 20, reaching a record high of 926,000 transactions processed on April 23. This surge in activity was primarily driven by the launch of the Runes protocol, a novel Bitcoin token standard. However, Bitcoin's daily transaction count has since moderated to 660,260 as of May 4.

比特币网络的每日交易量在 4 月 20 日第四次减半事件前后激增，并于 4 月 23 日达到处理的 926,000 笔交易的历史新高。这种活动激增主要是由 Runes 协议（一种新颖的比特币代币标准）的推出推动的。然而，截至 5 月 4 日，比特币的每日交易数量已降至 660,260 笔。

It is worth noting that Bitcoin is not the first blockchain to exceed one billion transactions. Ethereum, for example, has processed significantly more than two billion transactions despite being launched approximately six years after Bitcoin.

值得注意的是，比特币并不是第一个交易量超过十亿的区块链。例如，尽管以太坊比比特币晚推出大约六年，但它已经处理了超过 20 亿笔交易。

Currently, Bitcoin is trading at around $63,700, indicating a 12% rebound from its two-month low of $56,800 recorded on May 2. Nonetheless, it remains 13.6% below its previous all-time high of $73,740 set on March 13 of this year.

目前，比特币交易价格约为 63,700 美元，较 5 月 2 日创下的两个月低点 56,800 美元反弹 12%。尽管如此，仍较今年 3 月 13 日创下的历史高点 73,740 美元低 13.6%。

The billionth transaction milestone underscores the significant growth and adoption of the Bitcoin network. As the cryptocurrency ecosystem continues to evolve, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency landscape.

第十亿笔交易里程碑强调了比特币网络的显着增长和采用。随着加密货币生态系统的不断发展，比特币和更广泛的加密货币格局的未来仍有待观察。
