BIP-323：重新定义比特币单位

上周，长期比特币爱好者约翰·卡瓦略（John Carvalho）提出了一项新的比特币改进提案（BIP），旨在解决许多人在首次发现比特币时面临的单位偏差问题。

Last week saw long-time Bitcoiner John Carvalho unveil a new Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) that aims to tackle the unit bias issue encountered by many when they first discover bitcoin.

上周，长期比特币爱好者约翰·卡瓦略（John Carvalho）公布了一项新的比特币改进提案（BIP），旨在解决许多人第一次发现比特币时遇到的单位偏差问题。

“This BIP proposes redefining the commonly recognized "bitcoin" unit such that the smallest indivisible unit, previously recognized, becomes the primary reference unit,” Carvalho explained. “Under this proposal, one bitcoin is defined as that smallest unit, rendering decimal places obsolete. By establishing the integral unit as the standard measure, this BIP aims to simplify user comprehension, reduce points of confusion, and align on-chain values directly with their displayed representation.”

卡瓦略解释说：“该 BIP 提议重新定义普遍认可的‘比特币’单位，使之前认可的最小不可分割单位成为主要参考单位。” “根据这项提案，一个比特币被定义为最小单位，使得小数位变得过时。通过将积分单位建立为标准衡量标准，该 BIP 旨在简化用户理解，减少混淆点，并将链上值与其显示的表示直接对齐。”

Currently, the display of units of bitcoin would shift from its current state to this:

目前，比特币单位的显示将从当前状态转变为：

Current: 1.00000000 BTC → New: 100000000 BTC

当前：1.00000000 BTC → 新：100000000 BTC

Current: 0.00500000 BTC → New: 500000 BTC

当前：0.00500000 BTC → 新：500000 BTC

Current: 0.00010000 BTC → New: 10000 BTC

当前：0.00010000 BTC → 新：10000 BTC

“Historically, 1 BTC = 100,000,000 base units. Under this proposal, "1 bitcoin" equals that smallest unit,” the proposal further outlined.

“从历史上看，1 BTC = 100,000,000 个基本单位。根据该提案，“1 比特币”等于最小单位，”该提案进一步概述。

I can appreciate where Carvalho is coming from with this, and I can envision scenarios where some might find this easier, but I think the thinking here is likely short-sighted and doesn’t work in the grand scheme of things.

我可以理解卡瓦略的出发点，我可以想象一些人可能会觉得这更容易的场景，但我认为这里的想法可能是短视的，并且在宏伟的计划中不起作用。

Over the years, I have also heard other Bitcoiners discussing ways to combat Bitcoin's unit bias. It seems that most Bitcoiners are primarily concerned with how new users often get discouraged quickly if they can't afford a whole bitcoin and tend to gravitate toward buying altcoins instead, where they can buy at least 1 unit of that coin.

多年来，我还听到其他比特币爱好者讨论如何对抗比特币的单位偏见。似乎大多数比特币爱好者主要担心的是，如果新用户买不起一整块比特币，他们往往会很快灰心丧气，转而倾向于购买山寨币，因为他们可以购买至少 1 个单位的山寨币。

After acknowledging the issues he’s trying to address with this, I personally do not support this BIP. I think it would add more confusion rather than solving it. I think it is ultimately a waste of time and energy for Bitcoin developers to focus on this when there are many other things they could be working on that would add actual value to Bitcoin.

在承认他试图解决的问题后，我个人不支持这个 BIP。我认为这会增加更多的混乱而不是解决问题。我认为，对于比特币开发者来说，当他们可以做很多其他事情来增加比特币的实际价值时，专注于此最终是浪费时间和精力。

I think Stephan Livera has had a couple of really good takes on this, pointing out how silly it would actually be in practice.

我认为斯蒂芬·利维拉（Stephan Livera）对此有一些非常好的看法，指出它在实践中实际上是多么愚蠢。

Everyone involved in Bitcoin is already used to how it currently gets specified, so this is not a real problem that most people seem to care about. Carvalho has suggested a feature be implemented where wallets and such can toggle between the current and would-be new way of displaying the units of bitcoin, so there is a transition period where users can get used to his way of specifying units of bitcoin, but I just don’t see why it would be worth making this transition.

每个参与比特币的人都已经习惯了它目前的指定方式，所以这并不是大多数人关心的真正问题。卡瓦略建议实现一项功能，让钱包等可以在当前和未来的比特币单位显示方式之间切换，因此有一个过渡期，用户可以习惯他指定比特币单位的方式，但是我只是不明白为什么值得进行这种转变。

It would just feel like a burden on everyone to start explaining this way and potentially slow adoption if anything.

开始以这种方式解释会给每个人带来负担，并且可能会减慢采用速度（如果有的话）。
