比特币网创始人卖掉所有比特币 对其未来充满怀疑

的确，从某些方面来看，比特币交易费用每三个月就会翻一番，而现在确认比特币交易的平均时间为4.5小时。科技媒体Ars Technica报道称，最近比特币交易费用达到了26美元。比特币网从事所有与比特币有关的服务。分析网站Similarweb表示，这个以东京为基地，但注册在S:t Kitts的网站，每月有数千万的独立访问者。比特币网最大的一笔收入流就是所谓的比特币“矿池”，它在这里锻造市场上发布的新加密货币。

Indeed, in some ways, bitcoin transaction costs are doubled every three months, and the average time for bitcoin transactions is now confirmed at 4.5 hours. The techno-media Ars Technica reported that bitcoin trading costs recently amounted to $26. Bitcoin’s network is engaged in all bitcoin-related services. Analysis website Simlarweb states that this site, based in Tokyo, has tens of millions of independent visitors per month registered at S:tKitts. The largest income stream on bitcoin is the so-called Bitcoin “silo”, where it produces new encrypted currency.

奥尔登堡不想披露任何有关收入的数字，更不愿透露“这是一大笔钱”，即使是在个人层面上。他说：“就像我在东京的60位同事那样，过去三年的薪水都来自比特币。”但据瑞典比特币专家称，现在是时候改变比特币现金了。这种转变有一个很大的原因，那就是比特币的市场流动性——或者说缺乏流动性。

Oldenburg did not want to disclose any income figures, much less “a large amount of money”, even at the individual level. He said, “Like my 60 colleagues in Tokyo, salaries for the past three years have come from bitcoin.” But, according to Swedish experts in bitcoin, it is time to change bitcoin cash. One of the reasons for this shift is that bitcoin’s market liquidity – or lack of liquidity.

奥尔登堡说，人们还不明白持有比特币所固有的风险，原因很简单，因为迄今为止，大多数人只是购买了比特币，但从未卖出或用之交易。他表示：“一旦人们意识到这就是它的运作方式，他们就会开始出售。而旧的比特币网络可能无法使用。”

Oldenburg says that people do not understand the risks inherent in holding bitcoin for the simple reason that so far most people have only bought bitcoin but never sold or traded it. He says, "When people realize that this is how it works, they start selling it. The old bitcoin network may not work."

奥尔登堡承认，如今买卖或交易比特币都不是问题，但是当比特币交易被记录在区块链中的时候，也就是利用数字分类账记录每笔交易时，问题就会浮出水面。问题的核心在于，你在比特币网络中每秒处理的交易数量有限，而这又取决于存储事务的内存“块大小”。奥尔登堡说，这会导致流动性稀缺和不可用的加密货币。

Oldenburg admits that trading or trading in bitcoins is not a problem today, but when bitcoin transactions are recorded in block chains, that is, using digital ledgers to record every transaction, the problem arises. At the heart of the problem is that the volume of transactions you handle in bitcoins is limited per second, depending on the “block size” of the memory.

目前，这还是个有争议的问题，毕竟现在比特币交易的数量十分有限。这反过来又会造成交易成本提高，交易期限过长。随着新投资者涌入市场追逐快速回报，交易成本似乎在不断上升。尽管这些主要问题和“长达12小时的交易时间”可以得到解决，奥尔登堡却看不到任何改变的迹象，因为它是由老比特币网络运营的，他称之为“狂热的比特币禁令”。

As new investors rush into markets to pursue quick returns, transaction costs seem to be rising. While these major problems and “a 12-hour trading time” can be solved, Oldenburg sees no sign of change, because it is run by an old Bitcoin network, which he calls a “frenched bitcoin ban.”

令人感到讽刺的是，奥尔登堡表示，比特币网正在与比特币保持距离，甚至停止为比特币开发新的服务，而是将重点放在开发比特币现金上。比特币现金是8月份从比特币中分离出来的货币，最近超越了以太币，成为全球第二大加密货币。奥尔登堡称，它只需要花费0.012美元就可以完成比特币现金交易，而且没有交易时间限制。唯一的缺点是你需要更大的硬盘驱动器，但这对大多数人来说不是问题。

Ironically, Oldenburg states that the Bitcoin network is distanced from Bitcoin, and has even stopped developing new services for bitcoin, focusing instead on the development of bitcoin cash. Bitcoin cash is the currency that was separated from bitcoin in August, and has recently gone beyond it to become the second largest encrypted currency in the world.

总而言之，奥尔登堡不相信比特币将成为人们日常使用的货币。他说：“只要网络是由这群人(在旧比特币网络中)运行的，这些解决方案将在比特币现金中找到，我将在那里看到未来。”（小小）

All in all, Oldenburg does not believe that bitcoin will become the currency people use everyday. He says, “So long as the network is run by these people (in the old bitcoin network), these solutions will be found in bitcoin cash, and I will see the future there.”
