Coinbase 和 Circle 有什么区别?
机翻自:What's the difference between Coinbase and Circle?,自己学习用,不能确保准确,目前两者都已经上市。
Coinbase is a 'universal' company. It's a wallet, it's a bitcoin brokerage/exchange and a merchant services company.
Coinbase 是一家“通用”公司。它既是钱包,又是比特币经纪/交易所,同时也是一家商户服务公司。
Circle, at the moment, is just the wallet and the brokerage/exchange (both are more brokerage than exchange) but they don't do merchant services.
目前,Circle 只是钱包和经纪/交易所(两者都是经纪而非交易所),但他们不提供商家服务。
So in terms of services so far, Coinbase is like Circle+Bitpay. (Bitpay is purely a merchant services company)
所以就目前的服务而言,Coinbase 就像 Circle+Bitpay。(Bitpay 纯粹是一家商户服务公司)
Alright then there's some smaller differences.
好吧,那么存在一些较小的差异。
Circle has free purchase and sale of bitcoin. Coinbase charges 1% for this. Beyond that, both are free to use. (e.g. deposit/withdrawal, spending bitcoin etc, that's free). Except for creditcard purchases, there you also pay the CC fee on Circle, but bank transfers are free, where Coinbase charges for the bank transfer + 1%.
Circle 提供免费的比特币买卖服务。Coinbase 会收取 1% 的费用。除此之外,两者都免费使用(例如充值/提现、使用比特币等)。除了信用卡购买外,Circle 还需支付信用卡手续费,但银行转账免费,而 Coinbase 则会收取银行转账手续费 +1%。
Circle is also instant. With Coinbase you may need to wait some time, sometimes days, for a bank transfer to arrive. With Circle, you get your bitcoin instantly.
Circle 也是即时到账的。使用 Coinbase 可能需要等待一段时间,有时甚至几天才能收到银行转账。使用 Circle,您可以立即收到比特币。
Everything is up to certain daily/monthly limits. e.g. you can't buy $1m bitcoin instantly for free on Circle right now for whatever crazy reason you'd want to, nor could you at Coinbase. There are limits and they differ a bit but not all that much.
所有交易都有每日/每月限额。例如,无论出于什么原因,你现在都无法在 Circle 上免费立即购买价值 100 万美元的比特币,在 Coinbase 上也一样。限额确实存在,而且每个限额略有不同,但差别不大。
Lastly, Circle is insured. There have been some question marks about their insurance that haven't been verified by Circle yet to my knowledge, so I'm a bit on the fence still. But they claim to offer full insurance, which also is free. Coinbase doesn't. However, they do actually insure some of their coin, and work on insuring more, at which point they'll announce it. (Not many people know this but Fred said so in a talk some time back.)
最后,Circle 是有保险的。据我所知,他们的保险有一些疑问,但尚未得到 Circle 的核实,所以我还是有点犹豫。但他们声称提供全额保险,而且是免费的。Coinbase 没有。不过,他们确实为部分代币投了保,并且正在努力为更多代币投保,届时他们会宣布。(虽然很多人不知道,但 Fred 前段时间在一次演讲中提到过。)
Then there's things like apps and APIs and history and scale and backing and employees etc etc. For example, Coinbase has a third-party app for your smartphone, Circle is purely something for your browser. Coinbase has a public API, Circle doesn't. Circle is in closed beta, Coinbase has been open to the public for quite a while and is an older company. Coinbase is ran by new young founders, Circle is ran by a Silicon Valley veteran who's built billion-dollar products and headed companies as CEO before. There's lots of those minor differences.
然后还有应用程序、API、历史、规模、支持和员工等等。例如,Coinbase 有适用于智能手机的第三方应用程序,而 Circle 则纯粹是浏览器应用程序。Coinbase 有公共 API,Circle 没有。Circle 目前处于封闭测试阶段,而 Coinbase 已经对外开放了一段时间,而且是一家历史更悠久的公司。Coinbase 由年轻的新创始人运营,而 Circle 则由一位硅谷资深人士运营,他曾打造过价值数十亿美元的产品,并担任过多家公司的 CEO。两者之间存在很多细微的差异。
I'm very excited about both companies as they're mainstream-oriented companies, although I don't really use both much personally. They're quite similar, and I expect them to offer similar products for a long time in a different form.
我对这两家公司都很感兴趣,因为它们都是面向主流市场的公司,尽管我个人并不怎么使用它们。它们非常相似,我预计它们会长期以不同的形式提供类似的产品。
