以太坊聯合創始人Vitalik Buterin強調了集中數字支付的脆弱性以及分散付款替代方案帶來的機會。

當瑞典重新迎合無現金社會的推動者時，以太坊聯合創始人維塔利克·布特林（Vitalik Buterin）強調了集中的數字支付的脆弱性以及分散付款替代方案帶來的機會。

As Sweden is reconsidering its push toward a cashless society, Ethereum (ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin highlighted the fragility of centralized digital payments and the opportunity presented by decentralized payment alternatives.

隨著瑞典正在重新考慮其向無現金社會的推動，以太坊（ETH）聯合創始人Vitalik Buterin強調了集中式數字支付的脆弱性以及分散付款替代方案帶來的機會。

Highlighting an article by The Guardian, Buterin said Nordics are walking back the cashless society initiative because their centralized implementation of the concept is too fragile.

Buterin強調了《衛報》的一篇文章，他說北歐人正在撤回無現金社會倡議，因為他們對該概念的集中實施太脆弱了。

“Cash turns out necessary as a backup,” Buterin stated.

“現金作為備份有必要，” Buterin說。

How Ethereum can play a role in a crisis

以太坊如何在危機中發揮作用

A former central bank official predicted in 2018 that Sweden would be cashless after seven years. The prediction mostly held as in 2025 only one in 10 transactions in the country are done in cash, according to The Guardian.

一位前中央銀行官員預測，2018年瑞典將在七年後無現金。根據《衛報》的說法，該預測主要是在2025年在該國祇有10分之一的交易以現金進行。

But while the Nordic country was an early adopter of digital payments, its government published a brochure encouraging citizens to keep a week’s worth of cash in case of war or crisis.

但是，儘管北歐國家是數字付款的早期採用者，但其政府出版了一本小冊子，鼓勵公民在戰爭或危機時保持一周的現金價值。

Buterin noted that the re-emergence of cash on the scene may be a setback for those who had hoped for a rapid crypto future.

Buterin指出，現場現金的重新出現可能是那些希望快速加密未來的人的挫折。

However, he pointed out that the issue of central digital payment infrastructure remaining reliable in times of instability has been highlighted.

但是，他指出，在不穩定時期，中央數字支付基礎設施的問題仍然可靠。

Buterin suggested that Ethereum can be a decentralized financial fallback in times of crisis.

巴特林建議以太坊可能是危機時期的分散金融後衛。

“Ethereum needs to be resilient enough, and private enough, to be able to credibly play this kind of role,” Buterin said.

“以太坊需要足夠彈性和足夠私人，才能能夠可靠地發揮這種作用。”

When asked if fully offline zero-knowledge technology-secured private transfers were close to practical implementation, Buterin said the tech know-how is already there, but there are still limitations:

當被問及完全離線的零知識技術安全的私人轉移接近實際實施時，布特林說，技術知識已經存在，但是仍然存在局限性：

Crypto payments exec thinks crypto won’t replace fiat

加密付款執行官認為加密貨幣將不會取代菲亞特

Meanwhile, Mercuryo co-founder and CEO Petr Kozyakov has said that crypto will not replace fiat.

同時，Mercuryo聯合創始人兼首席執行官Petr Kozyakov表示，加密貨幣將不會取代菲亞特。

Kozyakov told Cointelegraph that crypto payment solutions are becoming more common and there is an increase in demand and adoption for them.

Kozyakov告訴Cointelegraph，加密支付解決方案變得越來越普遍，需求和收養也有所增加。

However, he believes that instead of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (BTC) or Etheruem, fully replacing fiat money as a payment method, the two payment options will coexist.

但是，他認為，除了比特幣（BTC）或Etheruem之類的加密貨幣而不是加密貨幣，完全取代了菲亞特貨幣作為付款方式，而是兩種付款方式將共存。

Kozyakov explained that people will use crypto when it’s easier and more practical.

Kozyakov解釋說，當人們更容易和更實用時，人們將使用加密貨幣。

For example, he explained that if someone needs to send money to another country quickly and at a low cost, they might choose to use a crypto payment service.

例如，他解釋說，如果某人需要快速匯款，並且以低成本的價格匯款，他們可能會選擇使用加密支付服務。

But if someone is making a small purchase in a local store, they are likely to use fiat, Kozyakov added.

但是，如果有人在當地商店進行少量購買，他們可能會使用菲亞特。
