比特幣：勞工運動的自然演變

從其創造者的神秘面紗到其去中心化和有機成長，比特幣與世界產業工人有許多相似之處。

Labor Day is upon us, and while many will be enjoying a day off from work, others will be marching in the streets for workers’ rights. As someone who has spent the last several years working at the intersection of labor and Bitcoin, I thought I’d share some thoughts on the holiday.

勞動節即將來臨，雖然許多人將享受一天的休假，但其他人將走上街頭爭取工人的權利。作為一個在過去幾年裡一直在勞動力和比特幣交叉領域工作的人，我想我應該分享一些關於這個假期的想法。

The origins of the American labor movement are vast and varied, but one group that played a significant role in shaping the movement was the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Founded in 1905, the IWW was a radical union that organized workers across industries and ethnicities. At its peak, the IWW had over 150,000 members and was a major force in the labor movement.

美國勞工運動的起源多種多樣，但在塑造這場運動中發揮重要作用的群體是世界產業工人（IWW）。 IWW 成立於 1905 年，是一個激進的工會，將跨行業和種族的工人組織起來。在鼎盛時期，IWW擁有超過15萬名成員，是勞工運動的主要力量。

The IWW is also known for its unique culture and language. Members of the IWW were called “Wobblies,” and they had a strong sense of solidarity and community. The Wobblies also developed a unique set of symbols and songs, which are still used by labor activists today.

IWW 也以其獨特的文化和語言而聞名。 IWW 的成員被稱為“Wobblies”，他們具有強烈的團結意識和社區意識。搖擺人也發展了一套獨特的符號和歌曲，至今仍被勞工活動人士使用。

I’ve always been fascinated by the parallels between the IWW and Bitcoin. Both movements were born out of a dissatisfaction with the status quo and a belief in the power of collective action. The IWW fought for workers’ rights, while Bitcoin is fighting for the rights of the individual.

我一直對 IWW 和比特幣之間的相似之處著迷。這兩項運動都源自於對現狀的不滿和對集體行動力量的信念。 IWW 為工人權利而戰，而比特幣則是為個人權利而戰。

One of the most striking parallels between the IWW and Bitcoin is their decentralized nature. The IWW was not a top-down organization, but rather a network of local unions and branches. This structure made the IWW difficult to suppress, as there was no central leadership that could be targeted.

IWW 和比特幣之間最顯著的相似之處之一是它們的去中心化性質。 IWW不是一個自上而下的組織，而是一個由地方工會和分支機構組成的網路。這種結構使得世界產盟難以被鎮壓，因為沒有可以針對的中央領導階層。

Bitcoin is also decentralized, with no single entity controlling the network. This makes Bitcoin resistant to censorship and government overreach.

比特幣也是去中心化的，沒有單一實體控製網路。這使得比特幣能夠抵抗審查制度和政府的過度擴張。

Another parallel between the IWW and Bitcoin is their focus on education and self-organization. The IWW believed that workers needed to educate themselves about their rights and how to organize for them. Bitcoiners also believe that individuals need to learn about Bitcoin and how to use it in order to participate in the network.

IWW 和比特幣之間的另一個相似之處是他們對教育和自我組織的關注。 IWW 認為，工人們需要自我教育，了解自己的權利以及如何為他們組織起來。比特幣支持者也認為，個人需要了解比特幣以及如何使用它才能參與網路。

Both movements also place a high value on solidarity. The IWW was committed to organizing workers across race, gender, and nationality lines. Bitcoiners also come from all walks of life, and they are united by their shared belief in Bitcoin.

這兩項運動都高度重視團結。 IWW 致力於組織跨越種族、性別和國籍的工人。比特幣愛好者也來自各行各業，他們因對比特幣的共同信念而團結在一起。

Of course, there are also some differences between the IWW and Bitcoin. The IWW was a explicitly socialist organization, while Bitcoin is not. However, both movements share a common goal of creating a more just and equitable society.

當然，IWW和比特幣之間也存在一些差異。 IWW 是一個明確的社會主義組織，而比特幣則不是。然而，這兩個運動都有一個共同的目標：創造一個更公正和公平的社會。

On this Labor Day, let us remember the legacy of the IWW and other labor movements that have fought for the rights of workers. And let us also celebrate the Bitcoin labor movement, which is continuing the fight for freedom, equality, and self-determination.

在這個勞動節，讓我們記住世界產業工人聯合會和其他為工人權利而奮鬥的勞工運動的遺產。讓我們也慶祝比特幣勞工運動，該運動正在繼續爭取自由、平等和自決。
