两种思想，多种多样，和一个历史：表征意见，知识，和跨群体的比特币的看法
Of Two Minds, Multiple Addresses, and One History: Characterizing Opinions, Knowledge, and Perceptions of Bitcoin Across Groups
摘要：
数字货币代表了一种新的交换和投资方法，与历史上任何其他法定货币都有很大不同。数字货币可以在没有第三方作为验证仲裁者的情况下执行所有金融交易;支付可以在两个匿名的人之间进行，跨越大陆，以任何面额进行，并且没有任何交易费用。这方面最成功的例子是2008年推出的比特币，它最近经历了一场流行、媒体关注和投资的热潮。随着关注的激增，我们开始有兴趣了解比特币社区内外的人们是如何看待比特币的--他们对比特币有什么看法，他们的感受如何，以及他们的知识有多渊博。为此，我们对参与者进行了第一次访谈研究（N = 20），讨论比特币和其他相关的金融话题。我们的一些主要发现包括：不了解比特币的工作原理并不是进入的障碍，尽管非用户参与者声称这对他们来说是一个障碍，而用户参与者对政府在系统中的作用处于认知失调状态。总的来说，我们的研究结果有助于了解比特币和对数字货币的态度。
英文摘要：
Digital currencies represent a new method for exchange and investment that differs strongly from any other fiat money seen throughout history. A digital currency makes it possible to perform all financial transactions without the intervention of a third party to act as an arbiter of verification; payments can be made between two people with degrees of anonymity, across continents, at any denomination, and without any transaction fees going to a central authority. The most successful example of this is Bitcoin, introduced in 2008, which has experienced a recent boom of popularity, media attention, and investment. With this surge of attention, we became interested in finding out how people both inside and outside the Bitcoin community perceive Bitcoin -- what do they think of it, how do they feel, and how knowledgeable they are. Towards this end, we conducted the first interview study (N = 20) with participants to discuss Bitcoin and other related financial topics. Some of our major findings include: not understanding how Bitcoin works is not a barrier for entry, although non-user participants claim it would be for them and that user participants are in a state of cognitive dissonance concerning the role of governments in the system. Our findings, overall, contribute to knowledge concerning Bitcoin and attitudes towards digital currencies in general.
