这 10 个行业正在欢迎加密货币的加入

自比特币和其他加密货币出现以来大约 15 年以来，随着有关比特币和其他加密货币的各种炒作和头条新闻，越来越多的行业开始欢迎它

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.

过去 15 年来，比特币和其他加密货币一直成为头条新闻。现在，越来越多的行业开始接受它们。起初，人们只认为加密货币是一种投资，而且是一种有风险的投资。但现在，它们本身也被用作货币。

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，关于加密货币，仍然有一些人们不理解的地方。例如，没有多少人能够完全解释四月份减半事件的真正含义。对于某些人来说，区块链的整个概念仍然是一个谜。

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.

尽管如此，一些行业还是表现出了开拓精神，并被加密货币的独特特征所吸引。这些特征包括这种支付方式真正的“跨境”性质，这意味着不需要货币兑换或汇率波动。区块链还确保所有交易几乎完全安全，更不用说保密性了。

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

因此，当网络欺诈稳步上升时，我们预计会看到许多其他行业加入到这十个行业中。

Social Media

社交媒体

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.

仅存在于网上的媒体应该是最先开始推广和使用加密货币的媒体。有传言称，许多社交媒体网络正在考虑推出自己的货币。 Facebook 背后确实有一次失败的尝试，那就是命运多舛的 Diem 币。如果没有可行的加密货币，很难想象该公司的虚拟宇宙愿景将如何实现。

iGaming

网络博彩

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.

另一个专为加密货币采用而量身定制的领域是各种形式的 iGaming。许多游戏都依赖游戏内购买来产生收入，现在越来越多的游戏接受加密货币支付。在线赌场世界是一个相关行业，正在逐渐接受这种支付形式的想法。支付的安全性和匿名性显然是一个很大的吸引力。访问在线赌场的人群也绝对是目标人群。本质上，如果他们足够专注于了解二十一点规则，他们也愿意使用新形式的货币。

The Hotel Industry

酒店业

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.

世界上许多主要的酒店和连锁餐厅现在都提供使用加密货币支付的机会。很多业务都是在网上和国际上进行的。因此，加密货币的无国籍性质使其成为宾客和酒店服务提供商的便捷选择。

The Travel Industry

旅游业

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.

出于许多同样的原因，旅游业越来越多地接受加密货币支付门票、预订和旅游。有些甚至开始使用这种付款方式向客户提供特殊套餐和其他奖金。

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.

许多教育机构的国际性质意味着许多学生来自国外。这意味着通过加密货币接受费用支付是合乎逻辑的一步。它可能包括相当大的金额，达到数万美元。这也是消除大多数传统银行通常收取的高额交易费用的一种方法。

Media and entertainment

媒体和娱乐

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.

流媒体已经取代了过去访问媒体和娱乐的更传统方式。同样，采用新的支付方式的时机也已经成熟。加密货币成为家庭娱乐和购买现场“现实世界”活动门票的一种快速有效的方法。

Payment gateways

支付网关

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.

从来没有像今天这样多的支付网关，提供了比以往更多的选择。许多人现在接受各种加密货币来进一步扩展他们的服务，而不仅仅是比特币。

Healthcare

卫生保健

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.

在许多医疗保健需要直接向提供者付款的国家，加密货币越来越多地促进这一点。韩国在许多领域都处于技术领先地位。毫不奇怪，首都首尔的许多领先医院都允许患者使用加密货币付款。在千里之外的波兰，比特币作为各种医疗服务的支付方式也受到欢迎。

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.

我们的最后两个例子并不令人意外。第一个是购买、出售和交换加密货币的交易平台。越来越多的此类平台正在运营，因此竞争非常激烈。这对于想要进行交易的客户来说是个好消息。

Banking

银行业

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.

银行最初不愿意参与加密货币，将其视为一种威胁。他们现在越来越多地接受加密货币。许多人甚至使用加密货币背后的区块链作为交易方法。我们可能很快就会看到银行创建的第一个实际的加密货币。

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

因此，随着时间的推移，毫无疑问会有更多的行业加入到支持加密货币的行列中。对于许多人来说，这一切来得还不够快。
