日本去年逾2万人孤独死去
日本当局公布的最新数据显示，2024年日本有7.6万名独居者在家中去世，其中超过2.1万人死后八天以上才被发现，被认定为“孤独死”。
新华社报道，随着老龄化加剧，日本政府去年4月开始实施《孤独和孤立对策推进法》。此次是日本首次就独居者在家中死亡情况进行年度统计。
根据定义，死亡时无人陪伴，且死后八天以上才被发现的个体被视为“孤独死”，因为这一情况通常可被推定为死者在生前处于社会孤立状态。
数据显示，“孤独死”者中有6945人是在死亡一个月后才被发现，253人则在死后超过一年才被发现，反映出部分人群长期与社会脱节。
日本内阁府分析称，随着独居者持续增加，未来日本面临孤独与社会孤立风险的人群可能进一步扩大。

“To the extent it is used I fear it’s often for illicit finance. It’s an extremely inefficient way of conducting transactions, and the amount of energy that’s consumed in processing those transactions is staggering,” the former Fed chairwoman said. Yellen’s comments have been cited as a reason for bitcoin’s recent losses. However, Yellen’s assessment of bitcoin as a inefficient medium of exchange is an important point and one that has already been raised in the past by bitcoin bulls. Using a volatile asset in exchange for goods and services makes little sense if the asset can tumble 10% in a day, or surge 80% over the course of a two months as bitcoin has done in 2021, critics argue. To put a finer point on it, over the past 12 months bitcoin has registered 8 corrections, defined as a decline from a recent peak of at least 10% but not more than 20%, and two bear markets, which are defined as falls of 20% or more, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
