比特幣（Bitcoin）

首字母大寫的Bitcoin用來表示比特幣的概念或整個比特幣網路本身。

例如：“今天我學了些有關Bitcoin協議的內容。”而沒有大寫的bitcoin則表示一個記賬單位。

例如：“我今天轉出了10個bitcoin。”該單位通常也簡寫為BTC或XBT。Bitcoin - with capitalization, is used when describing the concept of Bitcoin, or the entire network itself. e.g. "I was learning about the Bitcoin protocol today."bitcoin - without capitalization, is used to describe bitcoins as a unit of account. e.g. "I sent ten bitcoins today."; it is also often abbreviated BTC or XBT.

比特幣地址（Address）

比特幣地址就像一個物理地址或者電子郵件地址。

這是別人付給你比特幣時你唯一需要提供的資訊。然而一個重要的區別是，每個地址應該只用於單筆交易。

A Bitcoin address is similar to a physical address or an email. It is the only information you need to provide for someone to pay you with Bitcoin. An important difference, however, is that each address should only be used for a single transaction.

對等式網路（P2P）對等式網路是指，透過允許單個節點與其他節點直接互動，從而實現整個系統像有組織的集體一樣運作的系統 。

對於比特幣來說，比特幣網路以這樣一種方式構建——每個使用者都在傳播其他使用者的交易。而且重要的是，不需要銀行作為第三方。

Peer-to-peer refers to systems that work like an organized collective by allowing each individual to interact directly with the others. In the case of Bitcoin, the network is built in such a way that each user is broadcasting the transactions of other users. And, crucially, no bank is required as a third party.
