每日口說挑戰電腦被勒索的話...要不要先來搞懂比特幣是什麼？ (What is Bitcoin?)

Hi guys, welcome to today's pronunciation challenge and my name is Kristi. So, I know some people has been saying that, you know, the recent topics *have* been pretty depressing. I'm really sorry about that. I just, I thought, there are a lot of like meaningful videos that I really wanted to share with you guys! And, so, today we have a video that is more related to recent news and it's called “What is Bitcoin?” So I don't know if you guys saw on the news or perhaps your friends are one of the victims as well. Uhm... recently there are computer viruses locking up your files and I think it's called “Wanna Decrytor / WannaCry / Wcry”… something like that. And, it asks you for a bitcoin that values, pretty much, 300 US dollars. They ask you to wire them the 300 US dollars value of bitcoin or else they are going to lock up your files like forever. And that you don't get to see your files anymore. And I know a lot of people actually pay for it and a lot of people don't actually have the ability to afford 300 US dollars for files. But, anyways, let's take a look at today's sentence.

比特幣和其他貨幣比起來，有很多優勢。我們透過網路即可將比特幣直接轉帳給個人，不需要透過銀行或票據交換所等中介機構，這意謂著轉換的手續費相較之下低很多、你在任何國家都可以使用比特幣、你的帳戶不可能會被凍結，而且也沒有什麼先決要求或是嚴格的限制。
【心得】這樣聽起來，鼻孔好像還蠻好用的，可是最近因為勒索病毒流行，一聽到鼻孔就會讓人很不爽。

與其他的替代方案相比，比特幣有很多優點。它可以藉由網路從一個人的帳戶直接匯到另一個人的帳戶而不必經由銀行或是票據交換所。這代表手續費會更加便宜，你在每一個國家都能使用比特幣，你的帳戶不能被凍結而且沒有任何必要條件或是無理的限制來規範比特幣的使用。
