4. 首先，Bitstamp遭遇黑客袭击，以及2011年黑客袭击比特币交易平台Mt. Gox（此次黑客袭击要严重得多，其损失当时约合4亿美元），往往被误解为比特币本身存在安全问题。但事实上，这只能表明上述比特币交易平台存在缺陷，而非比特币技术本身存在问题。而最令人激动的，正是比特币背后的底层技术。正如《财富》杂志2015年1月刊《打造未来》系列报道中所写，大部分极为看好比特币、为其大声疾呼的狂热粉丝（包括马克o安德森这样的大牌企业家，也包括花大把时间更新比特币REDDIT页面的开发者和比特币“矿工”），更感兴趣的是能建立在比特币“区块”（该货币基本骨架）上的应用，而非比特币货币体系。两个实体间可通过“区块”安全交换任何形式的价值。

应用

1. A pair of post-mumblecore comedies about self-realization and its limits. Mr. Bujalski’s is a flawless screwball triangle (with Guy Pearce, Cobie Smulders and Kevin Corrigan as the sides) masquerading as an easygoing hangout with the oddballs of Austin, Tex. Ms. Piven surveys the darker territory of mental illness and daytime television. Thanks to Kristen Wiig’s astounding performance (as a lottery winner named Alice Klieg), “Welcome to Me” is a portrait of an American dreamer that is unsettling and inspiring in equal measure.

4. 但许多人预测将会出现经济崩盘，他们认为，旷日持久的欧元区危机加上房地产泡沫，将使相当大一部分中国工业失去盈利能力。这将暴露出各种隐藏的金融脆弱性，推动形成一场螺旋式下降。其他人认为，北京方面有充足的资源可以避免一场危机，不过他们指出，由于中国的增长模式依赖于基建和土地出售，且汇率和利率受到僵硬控制，它也许并没有所有必要工具。

3. For over two decades I have been writing about the rise of Asia and the dynamic driving it. There is an extraordinary consensus among east Asian leaders that Asia needs to use this window of opportunity to focus on economic development and growth. War is the biggest obstacle to development. If Asians were truly stupid, they would engage in such wars and derail their enormous development promise. Most Asian leaders, barring North Korea, understand well the dangers of war. Hence, while there will be tensions and rivalries in the region, there will be no wars in the region, in 2014 or in 2015. As 2015 unfolds, I would like to encourage all western pundits to understand the underlying Asian dynamic on its own terms, and not on the basis of western preconceptions.
