比特币不应该只是坐着。

Nakamoto于2008年发行了白皮书，它不是数字黄金的蓝图。这是一个点对点现金系统。但是快进到今天，比特币的最大批评家和支持者都经常就一件事达成共识：它实际上并没有像金钱那样奏效，至少还没有。

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.

比特币并不是要静止不动。当Nakamoto于2008年发行白皮书时，它不是数字黄金的蓝图。这是一个点对点现金系统。但是快进到今天，比特币的最大批评家和支持者都经常就一件事达成共识：它实际上并没有像金钱那样奏效，至少还没有。

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与Starkware的联合创始人Eli Ben-Sasson交谈，也是加密扩展中的主要思想之一。他的信息？这可能会改变。

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·萨森（Ben -Sasson）提出了一个令人信服的框架，以实现比特币如何发展的框架 - 不是放弃其原理，而是通过缩放其原理。他描述了三个需要对齐才能实现其诺言的核心支柱。

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.

根据本·萨森（Ben-Sasson）的说法，广泛，完整性和可验证性是比特币广泛采用和使用性的具体技术目标。不仅如此，还已经存在击中这些目标的工具。

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."

长期式OPCODE的重新引入OP_CAT可能是第一个Domino。他说：“九行代码将使比特币再次编程。”

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，比特币通常被描述为数字黄金，原始，不可触摸和价值存储。但是本·萨森（Ben-Sasson）希望看到它的功能更像是一个数字经济：在日常交易中无许可，包容和可用。这意味着重新思考比特币的工作方式，并升级其工作原理。

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.

对话涉及从比特币治理的政治到零知识证明和2层在构建可扩展的，分散的系统中的作用的一切。它还探讨了为每个人提供工作所需的资金，而不仅仅是技术精英或财务特权。
