比特幣不應該只是坐著。

Nakamoto於2008年發行了白皮書，它不是數字黃金的藍圖。這是一個點對點現金系統。但是快進到今天，比特幣的最大批評家和支持者都經常就一件事達成共識：它實際上並沒有像金錢那樣奏效，至少還沒有。

Bitcoin wasn't meant to just sit still. When Satoshi Nakamoto released the white paper in 2008, it wasn't a blueprint for digital gold; it was a peer-to-peer cash system. But fast-forward to today, and Bitcoin's biggest critics and supporters alike often agree on one thing: It doesn't really work like money, at least not yet.

比特幣並不是要靜止不動。當Nakamoto於2008年發行白皮書時，它不是數字黃金的藍圖。這是一個點對點現金系統。但是快進到今天，比特幣的最大批評家和支持者都經常就一件事達成共識：它實際上並沒有像金錢那樣奏效，至少還沒有。

In the latest episode of The Clear Crypto Podcast, hosts Nathan Jeffay and Gareth Jenkinson speak with Eli Ben-Sasson, the co-founder of StarkWare and one of the leading minds in cryptographic scaling. His message? That might be about to change.

在Clear Crypto播客的最新一集中，主持人Nathan Jeffay和Gareth Jenkinson與Starkware的聯合創始人Eli Ben-Sasson交談，也是加密擴展中的主要思想之一。他的信息？這可能會改變。

Ben-Sasson lays out a compelling framework for how Bitcoin can evolve - not by abandoning its principles, but by scaling them. He describes three core pillars that need to align in order for Bitcoin to fulfill its promise.

本·薩森（Ben -Sasson）提出了一個令人信服的框架，以實現比特幣如何發展的框架 - 不是放棄其原理，而是通過縮放其原理。他描述了三個需要對齊才能實現其諾言的核心支柱。

Broadness, integrity and verifiability, according to Ben-Sasson, are concrete, technical targets for Bitcoin's widespread adoption and useability. Not only that, but the tools to hit these targets already exist.

根據本·薩森（Ben-Sasson）的說法，廣泛，完整性和可驗證性是比特幣廣泛採用和使用性的具體技術目標。不僅如此，還已經存在擊中這些目標的工具。

The reintroduction of a long-dormant opcode, OP_CAT, could be the first domino. "Nine lines of code," he said, "that would make Bitcoin programmable again."

長期式OPCODE的重新引入OP_CAT可能是第一個Domino。他說：“九行代碼將使比特幣再次編程。”

Right now, Bitcoin is often described as digital gold, pristine, untouchable and a store of value. But Ben-Sasson wants to see it function more like a digital economy: permissionless, inclusive and usable in everyday transactions. That means rethinking what Bitcoin is for and upgrading how it works.

目前，比特幣通常被描述為數字黃金，原始，不可觸摸和價值存儲。但是本·薩森（Ben-Sasson）希望看到它的功能更像是一個數字經濟：在日常交易中無許可，包容和可用。這意味著重新思考比特幣的工作方式，併升級其工作原理。

The conversation touches on everything from the politics of Bitcoin governance to the role of zero-knowledge proofs and layer-2s in building scalable, decentralized systems. It also explores what it would take to build money that works for everyone, not just the technically elite or financially privileged.

對話涉及從比特幣治理的政治到零知識證明和2層在構建可擴展的，分散的系統中的作用的一切。它還探討了為每個人提供工作所需的資金，而不僅僅是技術精英或財務特權。
