比特幣的最小單位Satoshi突然處於防御狀態

在Block Inc.首席執行官傑克·多爾西（Jack Dorsey）公開認可的情況下，比特幣最小的單位Satoshi突然出現在防御狀態。

The smallest named unit of Bitcoin (BTC), the satoshi, is suddenly being defended after Block Inc. chief executive Jack Dorsey publicly endorsed scrapping it in favour of calling every indivisible integer of the network simply “bitcoin.”

在Block Inc.首席執行官傑克·多爾西（Jack Dorsey）公開認可之後，最小的比特幣（BTC）單位（BTC）突然被辯護，以取消它，以呼籲網絡的每個不可分割的整數簡單地“比特幣”。

On Sunday the former Twitter CEO reposted a remark by “grubles” and added his own assessment: "sats are so confusing to people just getting into bitcoin. bits of bitcoin is better, and just bitcoin is best."

週日，這位前Twitter首席執行官對“ Grubles”的評論重新發表了一篇評論：“ SATS對僅僅進入比特幣的人們感到困惑。比特幣的一部分更好，而只有比特幣是最好的。”

Dorsey's interjection came in response to grubles who argued that “‘Sats’ are technically bitcoin. So it's not incorrect to just stop calling them sats and just call them bitcoin again.” One critic replied that the discussion showed that “people have nothing else to worry about,” to which Dorsey shot back: “I'm very worried about Bitcoin becoming money. It must.”

多爾西（Dorsey）的插入是回應格魯布爾（Grubles），他們認為“'sats在技術上是比特幣。因此，停止稱他們為SATS並再次稱他們為比特幣並不是不正確的。”一位批評者回答說，討論表明“人們無需擔心”。

The immediate backdrop is improvement proposal 177 (BIP 177), introduced on 23 April by Synonym CEO and developer John Carvalho. The document would “redefine the commonly recognized ‘bitcoin’ unit so that the base unit becomes the primary reference unit,” eliminating the customary eight-decimal presentation and deprecating the term “satoshi.” Internally nothing changes; what users now know as 1 BTC would display as 100 000 000 bitcoins, while wallets could offer a legacy toggle for backwards compatibility.

立即的背景是改進提案177（BIP 177），於4月23日由同義詞首席執行官兼開發商John Carvalho提出。該文檔將“重新定義公認的'比特幣'單元，以使基本單元成為主要參考單元”，以消除習慣的八個確定呈現，並貶低“ satoshi”一詞。內部沒有任何改變；用戶現在所知道的是1 BTC的顯示為100 000 000比特幣，而錢包可以提供傳統切換以使其向後兼容。

Imposing an integer-only view cleans up education and user interfaces by exposing the protocol's true nature, Carvalho argues: "Bitcoin's ledger represents values as integral base units. The decimal point is merely a human-imposed abstraction." Supporters say that ditching decimals removes the psychological hurdle that drives newcomers to cheaper-looking altcoins and that the move is like a “stock split” rather than monetary debasement.

Carvalho認為，僅僅強加於整數的視圖通過公開協議的真實本質來清理教育和用戶界面，他認為：“比特幣的分類帳將價值表示為整體基礎單位。小數點僅是人類強加的抽象。”支持者說，拋棄小數的小數消除了驅使新移民更便宜的山寨幣的心理障礙，而此舉就像是“股票拆分”而不是貨幣貶低。

But resistance has been fierce. Swan chief executive Cory Klippsten, Byte Federal product director Michelle Weekley and consultant Magdalena Gronowska all warn that multiplying apparent supply from 21 million to 2.1 quadrillion “bitcoins” would sow chaos.

但是抵抗是兇猛的。 Swan首席執行官Cory Klippsten，聯邦聯邦產品總監Michelle Weekley和Magdalena Gronowska顧問都警告說，將明顯的供應從2100萬次增加到2.21倍的“比特幣”會播放混亂。

"People understand cents in a dollar, they will understand sats in a Bitcoin," counters Weekley, while Gronowska fears some users "could think that Bitcoin abruptly crashed from its current price of around $100,000 and that its supply has massively inflated."

“人們了解一美元的美分，他們會在比特幣中理解坐著的人，” Quintley，而Gronowska擔心某些用戶“可能會認為比特幣從目前的100,000美元左右突然崩潰，並且其供應量大量膨脹。”

The currency's pseudonymous inventor anticipated such a shift, notes Robin Linus, creator of the Bitcoin Virtual Machine (BVM). In a 6 February 2010 Bitcointalk post, Satoshi Nakamoto wrote: "If it gets tiresome working with small numbers, we could change where the display shows the decimal point... Same amount of money, just different convention."

比特幣虛擬機（BVM）的創建者Robin Linus指出，該貨幣的化名發明家預見了這種轉變。在2010年2月6日的BitCointalk帖子中，Nakamoto寫道：“如果它變得笨拙，我們可以更改顯示器顯示小數點的位置...相同數量的錢，只是不同的慣例。”

The denomination debate is hardly new: Jimmy Song's 2017 BIP 176 proposed "bits" (one-millionth of a BTC) as a friendlier frontage, but Carvalho dismisses that as retaining a "layered decimal approach" and "shifting complexity rather than eliminating it."

面額的辯論並不是什麼新鮮事物：吉米·宋（Jimmy Song）的2017年BIP 176提議的“位”（BTC中的數百萬）是一個更友好的正面，但是Carvalho認為這是保留“分層小數的方法”和“轉移複雜性而不是消除它”。

No Bitcoin consensus-critical change has been activated since the Taproot soft fork in November 2021, and BIP 177 would likewise require only interface, not protocol, updates—yet a norm change still depends on widespread voluntary adoption by wallets, exchanges and payment processors.

自2021年11月的Taproot軟叉以來，沒有激活比特幣關鍵性變化，而BIP 177同樣只需要界面，而不是協議，更新，但規範更改仍然取決於錢包，交易所，交易所和支付處理器的廣泛自願採用。

For now the market shows little concern. Bitcoin was trading at about $102,786.

目前，市場幾乎沒有關注。比特幣的交易約為102,786美元。
