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 首席执行官 Adam Back 博士是一位英国计算机科学家，也是一位比特币先驱，早在中本聪于 2008 年撰写其开创性白皮书之前，他就一直与中本聪进行交流。虽然中本聪十多年前就已离开，但 Back 仍在继续与中本聪进行交流。通过比特币开发公司 Blockstream 在链上工作。

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.

现在，刚刚完成 2.1 亿美元可转换票据融资后，Back 制定了宏伟的计划，将从专业级交易到稳定币再到比特币等一切领域。

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

哦，他也认为中本聪是否回来已经不再重要了。

“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.”

“我认为中本聪是否回来并不重要，”巴克在本周早些时候的一次采访中告诉我。 “我认为社区拥有比特币已经有 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 发表此番言论之际，比特币价格在 10 月底（Uptober）飙升，该资产自 3 月份以来首次突破 73,000 美元。此次爆发恰逢前总统唐纳德·特朗普在周二的选举中获胜的预期越来越高，特朗普在多年前严厉批评该行业后，已成为加密货币的主要支持者。

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?

据预测博彩网站 Polymaket 称，第 45 任总统重返办公室的几率目前为 61%。但这些情绪准确吗？

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.

最近的报道表明，Polymarket 充斥着洗售交易，而最近特朗普获胜机会的增加主要是由于极少数大型交易商的押注。但这里有个好消息。

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.

尽管关于两位候选人关于加密货币的言论有很多，但从长远来看，这对该行业的发展轨迹可能并不重要。面对立法的不确定性和从阴云密布到完全敌对的监管环境，这个价值 2.4 万亿美元的行业已证明自己具有反脆弱性。无论是通过法院还是法律，一切都会变得清晰起来。这个行业也会因此变得更好。
