Some of you may notice that there is a cryptocurrency just skyrocketed for almost 100% (once reached 150%), with the largest transaction volume in the past 2 days (21-23/7/2017). It is ...

或者大家會注意到，最近兩天（21-23/7/2017) 裡有一種虛擬貨幣的價格提升了接近100% （最多曾升了150%），而且交易量更驚人得成為了榜首，它就是...

Status (SNT) (https://status.im)  

I can't say if it's merely because Yunbi(No.7 Crypto trading platform in Mainland China) added SNT into its platform, but as the first platform in China which accepts SNT, its huge demands and money flow did provide an incredible fuel for the SNT to skyrocket. And other platforms like BTC9 and Jubi are going to support SNT trading before the end of July.

我不確定這僅僅是因為雲幣網（中國第七大虛擬貨幣交易平台）昨天開始支援SNT交易還是什麼，但國內巨大的需求及資金流絕對為SNT的升勢提供了良好的推動。而其他交易平台如幣久網、聚幣網亦陸續在七月內支援SNT交易。

So putting aside of these, many of you may not exactly know what SNT is. The materials online are still insufficient. So what is it?

拋開這個話題不理，可能不太多人知道SNT是什麼來頭，網上能找到的資料亦不多。究竟SNT是什麼？

In short, Status is WeChat - Ethereum Edition.

SNT is Status's official cryptocurrency

簡單來講，Status就是以太坊版微信

而SNT 就是Status的虛擬貨幣

Status is the first project in Ethereum ever crowd-funded a maximum of 300K ETH in its smart contract. It is deemed as a star of tomorrow.

Status 是第一個能夠於智能合約中眾籌得300K以太幣（是最高的眾籌上限）的以太坊項目，可被視為明日之星。

Intro Video 介紹短片

Status is an open source messenger which runs on the Ethereum Network. Users may also send & receive payments, and SNT is the official currency of Status (You could also transfer other cryptos like Ethereum). It works with the decentralised applications built on Ethereum. So for the applications to be built in the Ethereum Network, they're going to enrich the functionalities of Status as well. 

Status 是一個在以太坊上運行的開放源代碼的通訊軟件，用戶可以發送不同的虛擬貨幣給別人，SNT就是Status 內的官方貨幣。而Status 就像微信一樣，可以運行以太坊內的其他各種應用程式，所以Status 的功能將會不斷更多元化

We all see what WeChat is capable of, and how it changes our lives. With only 6 years of development, we could do all sorts of things inside one single WeChat app. It provides a really good environment for people to get into the online payment. Online payment in China accounts for 75% of the total payment, while in US, the number is only around 5%. 

我們都見證著微信如何改變了我們的生活，僅僅6年的發展，就令本身只有通訊功能的微信，變成現在什麼都能做到的強大killer app。亦因微信提供了良好的環境，使得中國的網上交易了所有交易的75%。相比之下，美國的網上交易只佔5%

Of course, it is uncertain whether Status could hit a success at this point. Still, we can see a huge rooms and potential for Status to step in the global market. Let's see if Status could mimic the success of WeChat, and compete with each other, to provide a better living for us. 

當然，Status 能否在市場中佔一席位仍然是未知之數，但我們能見到其巨大的潛力和發展空間。希望他日能夠看見Status 變成跟微信一樣強大，並互相良性競爭，改變著全世界的生活。
