比特币的最小单位Satoshi突然处于防御状态

在Block Inc.首席执行官杰克·多尔西（Jack Dorsey）公开认可的情况下，比特币最小的单位Satoshi突然出现在防御状态。

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.首席执行官杰克·多尔西（Jack Dorsey）公开认可之后，最小的比特币（BTC）单位（BTC）突然被辩护，以取消它，以呼吁网络的每个不可分割的整数简单地“比特币”。

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."

周日，这位前Twitter首席执行官对“ Grubles”的评论重新发表了一篇评论：“ SATS对仅仅进入比特币的人们感到困惑。比特币的一部分更好，而只有比特币是最好的。”

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.”

多尔西（Dorsey）的插入是回应格鲁布尔（Grubles），他们认为“'sats在技术上是比特币。因此，停止称他们为SATS并再次称他们为比特币并不是不正确的。”一位批评者回答说，讨论表明“人们无需担心”。

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.

立即的背景是改进提案177（BIP 177），于4月23日由同义词首席执行官兼开发商John Carvalho提出。该文档将“重新定义公认的'比特币'单元，以使基本单元成为主要参考单元”，以消除习惯的八个确定呈现，并贬低“ satoshi”一词。内部没有任何改变；用户现在所知道的是1 BTC的显示为100 000 000比特币，而钱包可以提供传统切换以使其向后兼容。

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认为，仅仅强加于整数的视图通过公开协议的真实本质来清理教育和用户界面，他认为：“比特币的分类帐将价值表示为整体基础单位。小数点仅是人类强加的抽象。”支持者说，抛弃小数的小数消除了驱使新移民更便宜的山寨币的心理障碍，而此举就像是“股票拆分”而不是货币贬低。

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.

但是抵抗是凶猛的。 Swan首席执行官Cory Klippsten，联邦联邦产品总监Michelle Weekley和Magdalena Gronowska顾问都警告说，将明显的供应从2100万次增加到2.21倍的“比特币”会播放混乱。

"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."

“人们了解一美元的美分，他们会在比特币中理解坐着的人，” Quintley，而Gronowska担心某些用户“可能会认为比特币从目前的100,000美元左右突然崩溃，并且其供应量大量膨胀。”

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."

比特币虚拟机（BVM）的创建者Robin Linus指出，该货币的化名发明家预见了这种转变。在2010年2月6日的BitCointalk帖子中，Nakamoto写道：“如果它变得笨拙，我们可以更改显示器显示小数点的位置...相同数量的钱，只是不同的惯例。”

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."

面额的辩论并不是什么新鲜事物：吉米·宋（Jimmy Song）的2017年BIP 176提议的“位”（BTC中的数百万）是一个更友好的正面，但是Carvalho认为这是保留“分层小数的方法”和“转移复杂性而不是消除它”。

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软叉以来，没有激活比特币关键性变化，而BIP 177同样只需要界面，而不是协议，更新，但规范更改仍然取决于钱包，交易所，交易所和支付处理器的广泛自愿采用。

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

目前，市场几乎没有关注。比特币的交易约为102,786美元。
