4. It's completely transparent
4.它是完全透明的
…bitcoin stores details of every single transaction that ever happened in the network in a huge version of a general ledger, called the blockchain. The blockchain tells all.
If you have a publicly used bitcoin address, anyone can tell how many bitcoins are stored at that address. They just don’t know that it’s yours.
There are measures that people can take to make their activities more opaque on the bitcoin network, though, such as not using the same bitcoin addresses consistently, and not transfer lots of bitcoin to a single address.
比特币把任何时侯发生的每一笔交易细节存储在一个巨大版本的总分类账本中,它被叫做“blockchain”。这个“blockchain”告诉我们一切。
如果你有一个公开使用的比特币地址,任何人都可以知道这个地址被存入了多少比特币。他们只是不知道这是你的地址。
尽管如此,还是有可以让人们的活动在比特币网络上变得更加不透明的措施,比如不持续使用相同的比特币地址,并且不转移大量的比特币到一个单一的地址。

When your bitcoins are sent, there’s no getting them back, unless the recipient returns them to you. They’re gone forever.
