未解決的比特幣區塊大小之爭仍然使加密社群存在分歧

在正在進行的「比特幣區塊戰爭」中，派系仍然存在分歧，讓人想起喬納森·斯威夫特（Jonathan Swift）的《格列佛遊記》中的小糾紛。儘管隨著時間的推移，關於區塊鏈規模和交易費用的爭論仍然在加密貨幣社群內引發衝突。

The Unresolved 'Bitcoin Block War' Continues to Divide the Cryptocurrency Community

懸而未決的「比特幣區塊戰爭」繼續分裂加密貨幣社區

The heated "block war" within the Bitcoin community has yet to subside, despite the passage of time, according to a recent report by Olga Kharif in the Bloomberg Crypto newsletter.

根據 Olga Kharif 最近在彭博加密通訊中發表的報告，儘管時間流逝，比特幣社群內激烈的「區塊戰爭」仍未平息。

The conflict stems from a fundamental difference in opinion regarding the optimal block size for the Bitcoin blockchain. Block size refers to the maximum amount of data that can be included in each block, which serves as the atomic unit of transaction processing on the network.

衝突源自於對比特幣區塊鏈最佳區塊大小的根本性意見分歧。區塊大小是指每個區塊可以包含的最大資料量，它作為網路上事務處理的原子單位。

Supporters of larger block sizes contend that it would increase the number of transactions the blockchain can handle, thereby improving scalability and reducing confirmation times. Critics, however, argue that increasing the block size would undermine the decentralization of the network, as only a handful of powerful nodes would be able to afford the computational resources necessary to operate.

更大區塊大小的支持者認為，這將增加區塊鏈可以處理的交易數量，從而提高可擴展性並減少確認時間。然而，批評者認為，增加區塊大小會破壞網路的去中心化，因為只有少數強大的節點才能提供運作所需的運算資源。

The debate over block size has been a contentious one within the Bitcoin community for many years, with each side fiercely defending their respective positions. In 2017, the conflict escalated into a "block war," characterized by a concerted effort by supporters of larger blocks to outvote supporters of smaller blocks on the Bitcoin network.

多年來，關於區塊大小的爭論一直是比特幣社群內頗具爭議的話題，雙方都激烈捍衛各自的立場。 2017年，衝突升級為“區塊戰爭”，其特點是比特幣網路上較大區塊的支持者齊心協力投票壓倒較小區塊的支持者。

Despite the passage of time, the scars of the "block war" remain fresh, as evidenced by recent comments from Roger Ver, a prominent advocate of larger block sizes, who referred to it as a "very painful" experience. The conflict continues to divide the community, with no clear resolution in sight.

儘管時間已經過去，「區塊戰爭」的傷痕依然清晰可見，大區塊大小的著名倡導者 Roger Ver 最近的評論就證明了這一點，他稱這是一次「非常痛苦」的經歷。衝突繼續導致社區分裂，目前還沒有明確的解決方案。

Jonathan Swift's classic novel "Gulliver's Travels" provides an apt analogy for the "block war." In the novel, rival nations went to war over whether the proper place to break an egg was the small end or the big end. Similarly, the Bitcoin community has been unable to come to a consensus on the seemingly trivial issue of block size, highlighting the deep-seated divisions within the cryptocurrency community.

喬納森·斯威夫特的經典小說《格列佛遊記》為「街區戰爭」提供了一個恰當的比喻。在小說中，敵對國家為了打破雞蛋的正確位置是小端還是大端而發生了戰爭。同樣，比特幣社群也無法就看似微不足道的區塊大小問題達成共識，凸顯了加密貨幣社群內部根深蒂固的分歧。

As the "block war" continues to drag on, it remains to be seen whether the Bitcoin community can ever truly put the past behind them and find common ground on this fundamental issue.

隨著「區塊戰爭」繼續拖延，比特幣社群是否能夠真正拋開過去，並在這個根本問題上找到共同點，還有待觀察。
