Sample Sentences

我觉得未必。比特币就像个迷一样，连发明它的“中本聪”都不知道究竟是哪根葱，创造出来就销声匿迹了。我看也就是一些极客和发烧友玩玩，我们普通人要投资这种东西，恐怕亏得倾家荡产也不知道要找谁诉苦去。

I don't think that has to be the case. Bitcoin is like a mystery. We don't even know who the heck its inventor “Satochi Nakamoto” actually is. He invented it and has just laid low. I think that it's something for geeks and enthusiasts to play with. Average people like us investing in this thing would worry about losing everything and not knowing who to turn to.
