Blockstream CEO Dr. Adam Back, a British computer scientist, is a bitcoin pioneer who has been communicating with Satoshi Nakamoto since before the pseudonymous bitcoin creator wrote his seminal white paper in 2008. While Satoshi stepped away more than a decade ago, Back continues to work on the chain through Bitcoin development company Blockstream.

Blockstream 執行長Adam Back 博士是英國電腦科學家，也是一位比特幣先驅，早在中本聰於2008 年撰寫其開創性白皮書之前，他就一直與中本聰進行交流。十多年前就已離開，但Back 仍在繼續與中本聰進行交流。

Now, fresh off of a $210 million convertible note fundraise, Back has big plans to bring everything from professional-grade trading to stablecoins to Bitcoin.

現在，剛完成 2.1 億美元可轉換票據融資後，Back 制定了宏偉的計劃，將從專業級交易到穩定幣再到比特幣的一切業務都引入。

Oh, and he also does not think that it matters anymore whether Satoshi ever comes back.

哦，他也認為中本聰是否回來已經不再重要了。

“I don’t think it matters whether Satoshi comes back,” Back told me in an interview earlier this week. “I think the community has taken ownership of bitcoin for for 12, 13 years now. It’s decentralized.”

「我認為中本聰是否回來並不重要，」巴克在本週早些時候的一次採訪中告訴我。 「我認為社群擁有比特幣已經有 12、13 年了。它是去中心化的。

Back’s comments come as bitcoin fiyatı had a late October (Uptober) surge that pushed the asset past $73,000 for the first time since March. The burst coincided with growing expectations of a victory for former president Donald Trump in the election on Tuesday, who has come out as a major crypto supporter after castigating the industry years ago.

Back 發表此番言論之際，比特幣價格在 10 月底（Uptober）飆升，該資產自 3 月以來首次突破 73,000 美元。這次爆發恰逢前總統唐納德·川普在周二的選舉中獲勝的預期越來越高，川普在多年前嚴厲批評該行業後，已成為加密貨幣的主要支持者。

According to the prediction betting site Polymaket, the odds of a return to office for the 45th president are now at 61%. But are these sentiments accurate?

據預測博彩網站 Polymaket 稱，第 45 任總統重返辦公室的幾率目前為 61%。但這些情緒準確嗎？

Recent reporting has suggested that Polymarket is rife with wash trading and that the recent boost in Trump’s chances is largely due to the bets of a very small percentage of large traders. But here is the good news.

最近的報告表明，Polymarket 充斥著洗售交易，而最近川普獲勝機會的增加主要是由於極少數大型交易商的押注。但這裡有個好消息。

For as much talk as there has been about what either candidate has said or not said about crypto, it may not matter much for the industry’s trajectory over the long term. The $2.4 trillion industry has proven itself to be antifragile in the face of legislative uncertainty and a regulatory climate that has varied from cloudy to outright hostile. Either through the courts or laws, clarity is coming. And the industry will be better off for it.

儘管關於兩位候選人關於加密貨幣的言論有很多，但從長遠來看，這對該行業的發展軌跡可能並不重要。面對立法的不確定性和從陰雲密佈到完全敵對的監管環境，這個價值 2.4 兆美元的行業已證明自己具有反脆弱性。無論是透過法院還是法律，一切都會變得清晰起來。這個行業也會因此變得更好。
