比特幣是一項技術，而不是宇宙的力量

新的比特幣被帶入比特幣的世界，該鏡頭掩蓋並扭曲了比特幣的現實作為一種技術

The author of the original post, which appeared on Bitcoin Magazine, argues that New Bitcoiners are being brought into the world of Bitcoin through a lens that obscures and distorts the realities of Bitcoin as a technology and what that entails, and tries to pack it into the box of “digital gold.”

發表在比特幣雜誌上的原始帖子的作者認為，新的比特幣通過鏡頭將新的比特幣被帶入比特幣的世界中，該鏡頭掩蓋了比特幣作為一種技術，並試圖將其包裝到“數字黃金”盒中。

This is a disastrous way for people to conceptualize Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a decentralized computer network. The conditions of a network are not a static thing. Environments change, network loads change, behavior of network users change. All of these things can have impacts on the viability and functioning of the network itself.

這是人們概念化比特幣的災難性方式。比特幣是一個分散的計算機網絡。網絡的條件不是靜態的。環境變化，網絡負載變化，網絡用戶的行為變化。所有這些事情都會影響網絡本身的可行性和功能。

Gold doesn’t need patches for vulnerabilities. Gold doesn’t have to overhaul major subsystems because a change in user behavior overloaded them to the point of not functioning correctly or efficiently. Gold doesn’t need to worry about Denial of Service attack vectors that could disrupt, or worst case bring down, the entire “gold network.”

黃金不需要漏洞的補丁。黃金不必大修主要子系統，因為用戶行為的變化使它們超載到無法正常或有效運行。黃金不必擔心拒絕服務攻擊向量會破壞或最壞的情況，即整個“黃金網絡”。

Bitcoin does. Bitcoin is not “digital gold,” it is a decentralized network made of software individuals actually have to run and maintain. The Bitcoin goldbugs have completely lost connection with this reality, at least when it comes to rationally assessing risks to Bitcoin, or ways it genuinely could fail or be co-opted.

比特幣會。比特幣不是“數字黃金”，它是由軟件個人實際運行和維護的分散網絡。比特幣金肉與這一現實完全失去了聯繫，至少在理性地評估比特幣的風險時，或者它真正可以失敗或選擇。

Bitcoin is going to have problems it needs to solve, at a fundamental technical level. It already does, and it will have more. This is how technology works, it is an inherent part of it. Bitcoin’s value stems from its use as a censorship resistant network, a freedom money no one can stop you from using. That is its core valuable characteristic.

比特幣將在基本技術層面上遇到需要解決的問題。它已經做到了，它將有更多。這就是技術的工作原理，它是IT的固有部分。比特幣的價值源於其用作抵抗審查的網絡，沒有人可以阻止您使用的自由資金。這是其核心有價值的特徵。

That characteristic hinges entirely on its decentralized nature.

該特徵完全取決於其分散的性質。

If people do not work to defend that decentralized nature, to interact with Bitcoin in a decentralized fashion, to improve and fix it as needed to counteract limitations or pressures encouraging centralization, then it will not remain decentralized.

如果人們不努力捍衛這種分散的性質，以分散的方式與比特幣進行互動，以根據需要改進和修復它以抵消限製或鼓勵集中化的壓力，那麼它將不會保持分散。

We are going to very soon regret the consequences of focusing so much outreach the last few cycles purely on spreading this “digital gold” narrative. This entire generation of Bitcoiners does not fundamentally understand that decentralization isn’t a static unchanging characteristic set in stone forever.

我們很快將對將最後幾個週期純粹放在傳播這種“數字黃金”敘述上的最後幾個週期中的後果後悔。這一代比特幣的人從根本上了解到，權力下放不是永遠存在的靜態不變特徵。

It needs to be maintained.

它需要維護。
