比特幣是要成為交換媒介，價值存儲的媒介，還是兩者兼而有之？

這個問題仍然是嚴重辯論的主題，尤其是在核心比特幣圈子中。 Twitter聯合創始人和Block Inc. XYZ首席執行官傑克·多爾西（Jack Dorsey）的陳述現在已經重新辯論了辯論。

Is Bitcoin meant to be a medium of exchange, a store of value, or maybe both? This question continues to be the subject of serious debate, especially in core Bitcoin circles.

比特幣是要成為交換媒介，價值存儲的媒介，還是兩者兼而有之？這個問題仍然是嚴重辯論的主題，尤其是在核心比特幣圈子中。

The debate has now been rehashed by statements from Twitter co-founder and Block Inc (NYSE:SQ) XYZ CEO Jack Dorsey.

A Debate On Relevance

關於相關性的辯論

Dorsey has asserted that Bitcoin will fail if it becomes nothing more than a store of value. He said this while speaking with Haley Berkoe, product marketing manager of Block subsidiary and Bitcoin-focused development firm Spiral, on a "Presidio Bitcoin" podcast episode last week. According to him, Bitcoin succeeds through payments.

多爾西（Dorsey）斷言，如果比特幣成為價值存儲，將失敗。他在上週的“ Presidio Bitcoin”播客中與Block子公司和以比特幣為中心的開發公司Spiral的產品營銷經理Haley Berkoe進行了交談時說。據他說，比特幣通過付款成功。

Don't Miss:

不要錯過：

Dorsey’s statements come at a time when the leading narrative for Bitcoin is that it has the potential to become a store of value on par with gold due to its limited supply. This thesis has left many, including the Winklevoss twins, largely uninterested in spending their coins in hopes that the asset’s value will continue to grow.

Dorsey的陳述是在比特幣的主要敘述是由於其供應有限而成為與黃金相當的價值存儲的可能性。這篇論文留下了許多人，包括Winklevoss雙胞胎，在很大程度上對花硬幣的花費不感興趣，希望資產的價值將繼續增長。

But in Dorsey’s telling, the current store of value focus presents a path to “irrelevance.”

但是在多爾西的講述中，當前的價值焦點存儲為“無關”的途徑提出了途徑。

“I think it has to be payments for it to be relevant on the every day. Otherwise, it’s just something you kind of buy and forget and only use in emergencies situations or when you want to get liquid again. So I think if it doesn't transition to payments and find that every day use case, it just gets increasingly irrelevant. And that's failure to me,” he said.

“我認為每天都必須付款。否則，這只是您購買和忘記的東西，只有在緊急情況情況下或您想再次獲得液體時才使用。因此，我認為如果它不過渡到付款並發現每天使用的情況下，那就越來越無關緊要。”

Addressing scaling and volatility concerns, Dorsey advocated for a focus on creating simple and accessible payment solutions that prioritize speed, privacy, and security. He argued that with time, greater accessibility, and a renewed focus on the ideals that birthed the cryptocurrency, the issue of volatility will also eventually be addressed.

解決擴展和波動性問題，Dorsey倡導著重於創建優先級速度，隱私和安全性優先級的簡單可訪問的支付解決方案。他認為，隨著時間的流逝，更大的可訪問性以及對孕育加密貨幣的理想的重新關注，最終也將解決波動性的問題。

Dorsey appeared to hold the view that Bitcoin had currently veered away from its original vision.

Dorsey似乎認為比特幣目前已經脫離了其原始願景。

“There's tons of stuff we need to do to really get back to the white paper, which is, you know, a system for electronic peer-to-peer digital cash like we have not seen that yet,” asserted Dorsey.

多爾西（Dorsey）表示：“我們需要做很多事情才能真正回到白皮書，那就是我們還沒有看到的電子點對點數字現金系統。”

Dorsey's statements have unsurprisingly sparked pushback.

Dorsey的陳述毫不奇怪地引發了推動力。

For example, Bitcoin Keeper Lead Developer Ben Kaufman contended that contrary to Dorsey’s statements, Bitcoin was more needed as a store of value than a means of payment.

例如，比特幣守護者首席開發人員本·考夫曼（Ben Kaufman）爭辯說，與多爾西的陳述相反，比特幣更需要作為價值存儲而不是付款方式。

“Bitcoin has value because it is needed. It is needed to store value as governments erode the value of their currencies. It is needed for payments to circumvent financial censorship. Currency devaluation affects everyone, while payment censorship affects small groups,” he wrote.

他寫道：“比特幣具有價值。由於政府侵蝕其貨幣價值，需要存儲價值。付款需要規避金融審查制度。貨幣貶值會影響每個人，而付款審查會影響小集體。”

Interestingly, “Satoshi Nakamoto,” the pseudonymous creator of the cryptocurrency, did appear to envision a future for Bitcoin as a store of value, widely quoted as saying, “It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on.”

有趣的是，加密貨幣的化名創作者“薩托·納卡摩”（Satoshi Nakamoto）確實設想了比特幣作為價值存儲的未來，並被廣泛引用：“以防萬一抓住一些東西，這可能是有道理的。”

Time will tell which narrative will prevail or whether both can coexist. In the meantime, however, speculators appear to have the upper hand as the asset trades like a tech stock.

時間會說明哪種敘述將佔上風，或者兩者是否可以共存。然而，與此同時，投機者似乎像技術股一樣佔上風。
