BIP-323：重新定義比特幣單位

上週，長期比特幣愛好者約翰·卡瓦略（John Carvalho）提出了一項新的比特幣改進提案（BIP），旨在解決許多人在首次發現比特幣時面臨的單位偏差問題。

Last week saw long-time Bitcoiner John Carvalho unveil a new Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) that aims to tackle the unit bias issue encountered by many when they first discover bitcoin.

上週，長期比特幣愛好者約翰·卡瓦略（John Carvalho）公佈了一項新的比特幣改進提案（BIP），旨在解決許多人第一次發現比特幣時遇到的單位偏差問題。

“This BIP proposes redefining the commonly recognized "bitcoin" unit such that the smallest indivisible unit, previously recognized, becomes the primary reference unit,” Carvalho explained. “Under this proposal, one bitcoin is defined as that smallest unit, rendering decimal places obsolete. By establishing the integral unit as the standard measure, this BIP aims to simplify user comprehension, reduce points of confusion, and align on-chain values directly with their displayed representation.”

卡瓦略解釋說：“該 BIP 提議重新定義普遍認可的‘比特幣’單位，使之前認可的最小不可分割單位成為主要參考單位。” 「根據這項提案，一個比特幣被定義為最小單位，使得小數位變得過時。透過將積分單位建立為標準衡量標準，該 BIP 旨在簡化用戶理解，減少混淆點，並將鏈上值與其顯示的表示直接對齊。

Currently, the display of units of bitcoin would shift from its current state to this:

目前，比特幣單位的顯示將從當前狀態轉變為：

Current: 1.00000000 BTC → New: 100000000 BTC

目前：1.00000000 BTC → 新：100000000 BTC

Current: 0.00500000 BTC → New: 500000 BTC

目前：0.00500000 BTC → 新：500000 BTC

Current: 0.00010000 BTC → New: 10000 BTC

目前：0.00010000 BTC → 新：10000 BTC

“Historically, 1 BTC = 100,000,000 base units. Under this proposal, "1 bitcoin" equals that smallest unit,” the proposal further outlined.

「從歷史上看，1 BTC = 100,000,000 個基本單位。根據該提案，「1 比特幣」等於最小單位，」該提案進一步概述。

I can appreciate where Carvalho is coming from with this, and I can envision scenarios where some might find this easier, but I think the thinking here is likely short-sighted and doesn’t work in the grand scheme of things.

我可以理解卡瓦略的出發點，我可以想像一些人可能會覺得這更容易的場景，但我認為這裡的想法可能是短視的，並且在宏偉的計劃中不起作用。

Over the years, I have also heard other Bitcoiners discussing ways to combat Bitcoin's unit bias. It seems that most Bitcoiners are primarily concerned with how new users often get discouraged quickly if they can't afford a whole bitcoin and tend to gravitate toward buying altcoins instead, where they can buy at least 1 unit of that coin.

多年來，我還聽到其他比特幣愛好者討論如何對抗比特幣的單位偏見。似乎大多數比特幣愛好者主要擔心的是，如果新用戶買不起一整塊比特幣，他們往往會很快灰心喪氣，轉而傾向於購買山寨幣，因為他們可以購買至少1 個單位的山寨幣。

After acknowledging the issues he’s trying to address with this, I personally do not support this BIP. I think it would add more confusion rather than solving it. I think it is ultimately a waste of time and energy for Bitcoin developers to focus on this when there are many other things they could be working on that would add actual value to Bitcoin.

在承認他試圖解決的問題後，我個人不支持這個 BIP。我認為這會增加更多的混亂而不是解決問題。我認為，對於比特幣開發者來說，當他們可以做很多其他事情來增加比特幣的實際價值時，專注於此最終是浪費時間和精力。

I think Stephan Livera has had a couple of really good takes on this, pointing out how silly it would actually be in practice.

我認為史蒂芬·利維拉（Stephan Livera）對此有一些非常好的看法，指出它在實踐中實際上是多麼愚蠢。

Everyone involved in Bitcoin is already used to how it currently gets specified, so this is not a real problem that most people seem to care about. Carvalho has suggested a feature be implemented where wallets and such can toggle between the current and would-be new way of displaying the units of bitcoin, so there is a transition period where users can get used to his way of specifying units of bitcoin, but I just don’t see why it would be worth making this transition.

每個參與比特幣的人都已經習慣了它目前的指定方式，所以這並不是大多數人關心的真正問題。卡瓦略建議實現一項功能，讓錢包等可以在當前和未來的比特幣單位顯示方式之間切換，因此有一個過渡期，用戶可以習慣他指定比特幣單位的方式，但是我只是不明白為什麼值得進行這種轉變。

It would just feel like a burden on everyone to start explaining this way and potentially slow adoption if anything.

開始以這種方式解釋會給每個人帶來負擔，並且可能會減慢採用速度（如果有的話）。
