XRP 反对者重新引发关于代币在区块链生态系统中地位的争论

行业知名人士最近发表的一系列帖子重新引发了有关 XRP 在区块链生态系统中地位的争论。

Over the past two weeks, XRP naysayers have unleashed a barrage of critiques against the token's contribution to the crypto industry, particularly in light of its inclusion in President Donald Trump's proposed US federal crypto stockpile. Some argue that XRP, being a centralized token, does not qualify as a genuine cryptocurrency.

在过去的两周里，XRP 反对者对该代币对加密行业的贡献发起了一系列批评，特别是考虑到它被纳入唐纳德·特朗普总统提议的美国联邦加密货币储备。一些人认为 XRP 作为一种中心化代币，不符合真正的加密货币的资格。

A series of recent posts by prominent industry figures have reignited debates about XRP's place in the blockchain ecosystem. On January 24, Pierre Rochard, VP of Research at Bitcoin mining company Riot Platforms, shared a screenshot of a thread originally posted in 2020 by crypto commentator Nic Carter, who made scathing remarks about Ripple's digital asset.

行业知名人士最近发表的一系列帖子重新引发了有关 XRP 在区块链生态系统中地位的争论。 1 月 24 日，比特币挖矿公司 Riot Platforms 研究副总裁 Pierre Rochard 分享了加密货币评论员 Nic Carter 最初在 2020 年发布的一条帖子的屏幕截图，该帖子对 Ripple 的数字资产发表了严厉的评论。

Carter's posts labeled XRP as "neither a cryptocurrency nor a viable competitor to Bitcoin," arguing it lacks meaningful decentralization or utility.

卡特的帖子将 XRP 标记为“既不是加密货币，也不是比特币的可行竞争对手”，认为它缺乏有意义的去中心化或实用性。

“There’s absolutely no comparing XRP with Bitcoin,” Carter wrote. “It’s not ‘cheaper’ than Bitcoin or more energy-efficient because it's not remotely in the same category. The same way you can't compare an Excel doc on my laptop with Bitcoin.”

“XRP 与比特币绝对没有可比性，”卡特写道。 “它并不比比特币‘更便宜’，也并不比比特币更节能，因为它根本不属于同一类别。就像你无法将笔记本电脑上的 Excel 文档与比特币进行比较一样。”

XRP use cases questioned

XRP 用例受到质疑

In his December 2020 thread, Carter criticized XRP's purported "centralized nature," describing it as "literally a token on a database maintained by a single entity," which, in the context, represented Ripple Labs.

卡特在 2020 年 12 月的帖子中批评了 XRP 所谓的“中心化性质”，将其描述为“实际上是由单个实体维护的数据库上的代币”，在上下文中，该实体代表 Ripple Labs。

He went so far as to liken XRP to "an IOU on the Starbucks app," arguing that the token is not fully built on a decentralization principle, which undermines its legitimacy as a crypto.

他甚至将 XRP 比作“星巴克应用程序上的欠条”，认为该代币并未完全建立在去中心化原则之上，这损害了其作为加密货币的合法性。

Carter also targeted XRP's primary use case as a bridge currency for cross-border remittances. He claimed this purpose has been rendered obsolete by the adoption of stablecoins, which are less volatile and more practical for such transactions.

卡特还将 XRP 的主要用例定位为跨境汇款的桥梁货币。他声称，随着稳定币的采用，这个目的已经过时了，稳定币的波动性较小，对于此类交易来说更实用。

“No one wants to use a volatile, illiquid, thinly traded asset as a bridge currency," Carter stated. "The only use case is lowering the cost of capital for Ripple Labs."

卡特表示：“没有人愿意使用波动性大、流动性差、交易量少的资产作为过渡货币。唯一的用例是降低瑞波实验室的资本成本。”

The crypto critic, who is also against the idea of creating a national strategic Bitcoin reserve, accused Ripple of using XRP to inflate its value artificially, alleging that the company engaged in partnerships designed to excite retail investors and drive up the token's price.

这位加密货币评论家也反对建立国家战略比特币储备的想法，他指责 Ripple 使用 XRP 人为地抬高其价值，声称该公司参与旨在刺激散户投资者并推高代币价格的合作伙伴关系。

“The SEC should see through the smokescreen and perceive XRP for what it is—a shallow fraud.”

“SEC 应该看穿烟幕弹，认清 XRP 的本质——一种肤浅的欺诈行为。”

Bitcoin advocates double down on XRP criticism

比特币倡导者加倍打击 XRP 批评

Several users on X agreed with Rochard's sentiments, with some echoing Carter's claims of XRP being a "fraudulent" asset meant to fatten Ripple Labs' pockets.

X 上的几位用户同意 Rochard 的观点，其中一些用户赞同 Carter 的说法，即 XRP 是一种“欺诈”资产，旨在增加 Ripple Labs 的腰包。

One user shared a screenshot of an explainer that showed the tokenomics of XRP. The screenshot alleges that Ripple Labs withheld 80% of XRP's total supply when it launched in 2013. Retailers could only access the withheld supply through the Bitstamp crypto exchange from January 2017.

一位用户分享了一张解释器的屏幕截图，显示了 XRP 的代币经济学。屏幕截图显示，Ripple Labs 在 2013 年推出 XRP 时扣留了 XRP 总供应量的 80%。从 2017 年 1 月起，零售商只能通过 Bitstamp 加密货币交易所获取扣留的供应量。

They apparently employ over 1k people…?! sus

他们显然雇佣了超过 1000 名员工……？！苏斯

I 'member this… The initial distribution was 80/20 in June 2012 and it was impossible to get any as a 'retailer' until 5 years later (Bitstamp, January 2017).

我记得……2012 年 6 月的初始分配是 80/20，直到 5 年后才可能以“零售商”的身份获得任何分配（Bitstamp，2017 年 1 月）。

In a quoted response to Rochard's post, another Bitcoin advocate disclosed some pointers from Saifedean Ammous's The Bitcoin Standard book. The post explained how the author discussed the fundamental differences between Bitcoin and XRP in chapters, 7, 8, and 9.

在对 Rochard 帖子的引用回复中，另一位比特币倡导者披露了 Saifedean Ammous 的《比特币标准》一书中的一些要点。这篇文章解释了作者如何在第 7、8 和 9 章中讨论比特币和 XRP 之间的根本区别。

In Chapter 7, Ammous explained how Bitcoin's model makes the network independent, decentralized, and immutable. Analysts pointed out that XRP fails to achieve this due to Ripple Labs' control over its supply.

在第七章中，Ammous 解释了比特币的模型如何使网络独立、去中心化和不可变。分析师指出，XRP未能实现这一目标是由于Ripple Labs对其供应的控制。

The next chapter further critiques fiat systems and centralized financial models. Critics assert the system is similar to XRP's model and claim the token is an extension of the very structures BTC was designed to disrupt.

下一章进一步批评法定系统和中心化金融模型。批评者声称该系统类似于 XRP 的模型，并声称该代币是 BTC 旨在破坏的结构的延伸。

Finally, chapter 9 focuses on Bitcoin's proof-of-work mechanism, which ensures decentralization and censorship resistance. XRP critics insist XRP relies on centralized validators, which Ripple Labs could allegedly take advantage of to manipulate price.

最后，第 9 章重点介绍比特币的工作量证明机制，该机制确保去中心化和抗审查性。 XRP 批评者坚称 XRP 依赖于中心化验证器，据称 Ripple Labs 可以利用该验证器来操纵价格。
