Bitcoin ATMs have popped up across the United States over the past year. The machine allows customers to buy or sell the digital currency, and sometimes extract cash, according to a Reuters report on the growing popularity of Bitcoin ATMs.
过去一年,比特币ATM机在美国各地出现。据路透社(Reuters)一篇关于比特币ATM机越来越受欢迎的报道称,这台机器允许客户购买或出售这种数字货币,有时还可以提取现金。
"Honestly, if I was going after Bitcoin and trying to steal it, I would hack instead," said Caroline Chen, a business professor at San Jose State University. "Because then I know I can steal millions of dollars of Bitcoin in one fell swoop, instead of the ATM at the local convenience store that has $200 of actual cash in it."
“老实说,如果我想要比特币并试图窃取它,我会黑进去,”圣何塞州立大学(San Jose State University)商学教授卡罗琳·陈(Caroline Chen)说。“因为这样我就知道我可以一下子偷走数百万美元的比特币,而不是从当地便利店的ATM机里偷仅仅200美元的现金。”
There are now over 48,000 Bitcoin ATMs across the nation, according to independent research site howmanybitcoinatms.com.
根据独立研究网站howmanybitcoinatms.com的数据,目前全美有4.8万多台比特币ATM机。
Meanwhile, Bitcoin this week bounced back by topping $55,000, CNBC reported. It marked the highest level for the cryptocurrency since mid-May.
与此同时,据CNBC报道,比特币本周反弹,超过5.5万美元。这是自5月中旬以来加密货币的最高水平。
