关于“1 比特币 = 1 聪”提案的争论升温

比特币社区正在审查一项消除小数并重新定义顶级资产计量单位的提案。

A proposal within the Bitcoin community aims to redefine the smallest indivisible unit, currently known as a Satoshi, as the primary unit of measurement. This move would eliminate decimals and significantly alter how the cryptocurrency is quantified.

比特币社区内的一项提案旨在重新定义最小的不可分割单位（目前称为“聪”）作为主要计量单位。此举将消除小数并显着改变加密货币的量化方式。

Bitcoin advocate John Carvalho has introduced a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) to standardize how Bitcoin is measured. Under his proposal, the smallest indivisible unit, currently termed a Satoshi, would become the primary reference unit, rendering the term Satoshi obsolete.

比特币倡导者约翰·卡瓦略（John Carvalho）提出了比特币改进提案（BIP），以标准化比特币的衡量方式。根据他的提议，最小的不可分割单位（目前称为“聪”）将成为主要参考单位，从而使“聪”一词变得过时。

“This BIP proposes redefining the commonly recognized ‘bitcoin’ unit so that what was previously known as the smallest indivisible unit becomes the primary reference unit. Under this proposal, one bitcoin is defined as that smallest unit, eliminating the need for decimal places,” Carvalho explained in the BIP.

“该 BIP 提议重新定义普遍认可的‘比特币’单位，以便以前被称为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，消除了小数位的需要，”卡瓦略在 BIP 中解释道。

This redefinition would shift the scale of Bitcoin measurements by several orders of magnitude. For instance, 0.00010000 BTC, which currently represents 10,000 Satoshis, would be expressed as 10,000 Bitcoins under the proposed system.

这种重新定义将使比特币的测量规模改变几个数量级。例如，0.00010000 BTC 目前代表 10,000 聪，在提议的系统下将表示为 10,000 比特币。

Carvalho argues that aligning Bitcoin's unit of measurement with the underlying protocol would simplify the system and make it easier to understand. Additionally, he believes that reducing the reliance on decimals would lower the cognitive effort needed to grasp Bitcoin's essence.

卡瓦略认为，将比特币的计量单位与底层协议保持一致将简化系统并使其更容易理解。此外，他认为减少对小数的依赖将降低掌握比特币本质所需的认知努力。

“This clarity would improve both education and user experience. Historically, users define one bitcoin as 100 million base units. This representation, while useful, introduces a conceptual layer that can be simplified without losing any of the protocol’s principles,” he stated.

“这种清晰度将改善教育和用户体验。从历史上看，用户将 1 个比特币定义为 1 亿个基本单位。这种表示虽然有用，但引入了一个概念层，可以在不丢失任何协议原则的情况下进行简化，”他表示。

“The current convention defines one BTC as 100,000,000 of the smallest indivisible units. This representation requires dealing with eight decimal places, which can be confusing and foster the misconception that bitcoin is inherently decimal-based. In reality, Bitcoin’s ledger represents values as integers of a smallest unit, and the decimal point is merely a human-imposed abstraction.”

“目前的惯例将 1 BTC 定义为 100,000,000 个最小的不可分割单位。这种表示方式需要处理八个小数位，这可能会令人困惑，并造成比特币本质上是基于小数的误解。事实上，比特币的账本将值表示为最小单位的整数，而小数点只是人类强加的抽象。”

Carvalho concludes by highlighting several long-term benefits of his proposal, including clearer communication, reduced confusion, and a more accurate understanding of Bitcoin's fundamental design.

卡瓦略最后强调了他的提议的几个长期好处，包括更清晰的沟通、减少混乱以及更准确地理解比特币的基本设计。

The proposal has sparked a heated debate within the crypto community, with some expressing strong support and others voicing concerns.

该提案在加密社区内引发了激烈争论，一些人表示强烈支持，另一些人则表达了担忧。

Some individuals, such as Mauricio Di Bartolomeo, cofounder of Ledn, believe that the shift could help correct the “unit bias” that makes Bitcoin seem overly expensive. According to him, presenting Bitcoin in smaller units could make it appear more accessible.

Ledn 联合创始人 Mauricio Di Bartolomeo 等一些人认为，这种转变可能有助于纠正使比特币显得过于昂贵的“单位偏见”。他表示，以更小的单位呈现比特币可能会让它看起来更容易获得。

“This proposal has been floating around for a while, and I think it's a natural progression as BTC continues to rise in value,” said Di Bartolomeo. “We're already seeing some shifts in the community, with people using the term ‘bitcoin’ to refer to the smallest unit, and I expect this to continue.”

“这个提议已经流传了一段时间，我认为随着 BTC 价值的持续上涨，这是一个自然的进展，”迪巴托洛梅奥说。 “我们已经看到社区发生了一些变化，人们使用‘比特币’一词来指代最小的单位，我预计这种情况会持续下去。”

Similarly, Joe Nakamoto, another Bitcoin advocate, sees the proposal as an inevitability. According to him, wallets are already moving toward this change, and many users are embracing it. As Bitcoin's value continues to rise, he argues, adopting a simplified unit system will become more natural.

同样，另一位比特币倡导者乔·中本认为该提议是不可避免的。据他介绍，钱包已经在朝着这一变化迈进，许多用户正在接受它。他认为，随着比特币价值的持续上涨，采用简化的单位系统将变得更加自然。

“Wallets are already implementing bitcoin, plenty of bitcoiners are advocating for the change and as the price soars higher and higher we will naturally gravitate to using the term bitcoin,” said Nakamato. “Sorry if you’re married to the idea of a ‘sat’ and I'm sure you’ll be stubborn and try to call it that for as long as you can, but it's not gonna last because it hasn't really stuck.”

中本聪表示：“钱包已经开始使用比特币，许多比特币持有者都在倡导这一改变，随着价格越来越高，我们自然会倾向于使用比特币这个术语。” “抱歉，如果你已经接受了‘sat’的想法，我相信你会很固执，并尽可能长时间地称呼它，但它不会持久，因为它还没有真正坚持下来。 ”。

However, not everyone agrees with this assessment. Crypto influencer Clara Bitcoin, known for her opposition to the proposal, argues that redefining Bitcoin's units could harm its narrative. According to her, the widely understood cap of 21 million Bitcoins might lose its significance if reinterpreted as 21 quadrillion units. Such a shift, she said, could make Bitcoin seem less scarce and more abstract.

然而，并非所有人都同意这一评估。以反对该提案而闻名的加密货币影响者克拉拉比特币认为，重新定义比特币的单位可能会损害其叙述。她表示，如果将比特币的广泛理解上限重新解释为 21 万亿个单位，那么 2100 万个比特币的上限可能会失去意义。她说，这种转变可能会让比特币看起来不那么稀缺、更抽象。

“The real good thing pointed in the BIP is that we should take more time to explain what a sat is because it is true unit of measurement in the Bitcoin protocol, code, and blockchain,” she added.

“BIP 指出的真正好处是，我们应该花更多时间来解释 sat 是什么，因为它是比特币协议、代码和区块链中真正的计量单位，”她补充道。
