比特幣開發人員與提案相衝突，該提案可能會擴大區塊鏈的使用超越金錢

比特幣的開發人員社區與提議的更新相矛盾，該更新可以允許大量數據（例如圖像和文本）直接存儲在區塊鏈上。

Bitcoin’s developer community is heating up as a proposed update to expand the blockchain’s use beyond money has sparked a clash of perspectives.

比特幣的開發人員社區正在加熱，因為擬議的更新以擴大區塊鏈的用途超越金錢，這引發了一系列的觀點。

The proposal in question focuses on removing technical limits on Bitcoin’s OP_RETURN function. This function, typically used for adding small bits of non-financial data to transactions—like a short message or a few lines of code—is currently capped at about 80 bytes. However, supporters of the update, such as developer Peter Todd, argue that this limitation is already being bypassed using clever workarounds to encode larger payloads.

所討論的建議重點是刪除對比特幣的OP_Return功能的技術限制。此功能通常用於在交易中添加一小部分非財務數據（例如簡短消息或幾行代碼），目前限制為約80個字節。但是，更新的支持者，例如開發人員彼得·托德（Peter Todd），認為該限制已經使用巧妙的解決方案來編碼較大的有效負載。

“The 80-byte limitation is already being evaded in practice with techniques like compression and (for larger messages) batching/merkleization, which are both less efficient and less transparent than simply increasing the size limit and making the content visible on-chain,” said Todd.

托德說：“通過壓縮和（對於較大的消息）批處理/merkleization等技術，已經在實踐中逃避了80字節的限制，這既不是效率較低且透明的，而不是簡單地增加尺寸限制並使內容可見鏈。”

In a blog post, Todd further explained that arbitrary constraints tend to create more harm than good by forcing users to adopt inefficient or opaque methods.

在博客文章中，Todd進一步解釋說，任意約束往往通過強迫用戶採用低效或不透明方法造成的弊大於利。

“In practice, if the goal is to put a 1k image on-chain, it will be done, usually in less standard and maintainable ways if there is a small size limit, rather than simply allowing a large size limit and having the image data in the transaction visibly and directly,” said Todd.

托德說：“實際上，如果目標是在鏈上放置1K圖像，則通常會以較小的尺寸限制，而不是簡單地允許大尺寸限制並直接直接在交易中使用圖像數據，通常會以較低的標準和可維護的方式進行。”

On the other side of the coin, contributors like Jason Hughes have sounded the alarm, calling the change a fundamental threat to Bitcoin’s design philosophy. To Hughes and others, this isn’t just a technical tweak—it’s a philosophical shift that could transform Bitcoin from a reliable financial protocol into a cluttered, general-purpose platform.

在硬幣的另一側，傑森·休斯（Jason Hughes）這樣的貢獻者發出了警報，稱這一變化是對比特幣設計理念的根本威脅。對於休斯和其他人來說，這不僅僅是技術調整，而是一種哲學上的轉變，可以將比特幣從可靠的財務協議轉變為一個混亂的通用平台。

“We’re fundamentally changing the nature of the chain and what it’s good at. We’re shifting the balance of priorities and values that have guided Bitcoin’s development for years,” said Hughes in a recent interview.

休斯在最近的一次採訪中說：“我們從根本上改變了鏈的性質及其擅長。我們正在轉移多年來指導比特幣發展的優先事項和價值觀的平衡。

Some middle-ground voices, like developer Pieter Wuille, admit they’re uneasy about the direction but recognize the demand for on-chain data. Pushing this activity off-chain could lead to more harmful and less secure alternatives.

一些中間地面的聲音，例如開發人員Pieter Wuille，承認他們對方向感到不安，但認識到對鍊鍊數據的需求。將這項活動推開可能導致更有害和更安全的選擇。

“I’m personally not a fan of people trying to put large amounts of data, like images or long texts, directly in the chain. It feels like a misuse of the technology and would likely lead to degradation of the chain's performance and usability for its primary function: monetary transactions,” said Wuille.

Wuille說：“我個人不是試圖將大量數據（例如圖像或長文本）直接放在鏈條中的人。這感覺就像是對技術的濫用，很可能會導致鏈條的性能和其主要功能的可用性降級：貨幣交易：貨幣交易。”

Even so, the tension highlights a deeper identity crisis for Bitcoin: whether it should continue as a streamlined monetary network—or adapt to serve broader, more experimental functions.

即便如此，緊張局勢突出了比特幣的更深層次的身份危機：是否應該繼續作為簡化的貨幣網絡，或適應更廣泛的實驗功能。

For now, the fate of the proposal remains undecided as the community continues to debate its implications. But the debate itself reflects a larger pattern that has shaped Bitcoin’s evolution for over a decade—balancing innovation with the preservation of its core ethos.

就目前而言，隨著社區繼續辯論其含義，該提案的命運仍未確定。但是辯論本身反映了一種更大的模式，該模式已經塑造了比特幣的發展十多年，這將創新與維護其核心精神保持一致。
