比特币白皮书回来了：透明度和去中心化的胜利

对于比特币社区来说，这是一个重大事件，最初的比特币白皮书再次可以在 Bitcoin.org 网站上访问。

The original Bitcoin whitepaper is now available again on the Bitcoin.org website, following a series of legal challenges involving Craig Wright, who claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator.

在自称是比特币化名创造者中本聪的克雷格·怀特 (Craig Wright) 受到一系列法律挑战后，最初的比特币白皮书现已在 Bitcoin.org 网站上再次发布。

The whitepaper was removed from the site in 2021 after Wright, through Tulip Trading Limited, filed a copyright lawsuit against the operators of Bitcoin.org, led by the pseudonymous figure Cøbra. A UK court ordered the site to remove the whitepaper from visibility in the country.

2021 年，赖特通过 Tulip Trading Limited 对以化名人物 Cøbra 为首的 Bitcoin.org 运营商提起版权诉讼后，该白皮书被从网站上删除。英国法院命令该网站从该国的可见范围中删除该白皮书。

However, Wright’s claim to the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto—and thus to the copyright of the Bitcoin whitepaper—was critically undermined in subsequent legal proceedings.

然而，赖特对中本聪身份的主张，以及比特币白皮书的版权，在随后的法律诉讼中遭到严重破坏。

A UK High Court ruled in March 2024 that Wright was not Satoshi Nakamoto. The judgment was damning, with the presiding judge noting that Wright had engaged in “technobabble” and had lied “extensively” during the proceedings.

英国高等法院于 2024 年 3 月裁定赖特不是中本聪。判决是严厉的，主审法官指出赖特在诉讼过程中“胡言乱语”并“大量”撒谎。

This ruling paved the way for the Bitcoin whitepaper’s return to Bitcoin.org, which was announced by the site’s current maintainer, Hennadii Stepanov, in an X (formerly Twitter) post on Monday.

这项裁决为比特币白皮书重返 Bitcoin.org 铺平了道路，该网站的现任维护者 Hennadii Stepanov 于周一在 X（前 Twitter）帖子中宣布了这一消息。

The development was celebrated by Stepanov, who noted that the whitepaper had been "hosted on 100+ sites during the last 2 years as a protest against Wright's maximalist claims."

斯捷潘诺夫对这一进展表示庆祝，他指出该白皮书“在过去 2 年里已在 100 多个网站上发布，以抗议赖特的极简主义主张”。

Indeed, throughout the legal disputes, the global crypto community rallied in support of the open access to the Bitcoin whitepaper. In defiance of Wright’s claims and legal actions, various entities—ranging from tech companies like Square to government bodies in the US, Estonia, and Colombia—hosted the document.

事实上，在整个法律纠纷中，全球加密社区团结起来支持比特币白皮书的开放获取。各种实体（从 Square 等科技公司到美国、爱沙尼亚和哥伦比亚的政府机构）无视 Wright 的主张和法律诉讼，托管了该文件。

Furthermore, an individual compiled a list of over 100 websites that continued to publish the whitepaper as a form of protest against Wright’s aggressive stance.

此外，还有人列出了100多个继续发布白皮书的网站，以抗议赖特的激进立场。

The restoration of the Bitcoin whitepaper to Bitcoin.org is more than a mere procedural update. It represents a victory for transparency and the decentralized ethos of the cryptocurrency community.

将比特币白皮书恢复到 Bitcoin.org 不仅仅是程序上的更新。它代表了加密货币社区透明度和去中心化精神的胜利。

This outcome not only serves to reaffirm the document’s status as a public domain work but also underscores the broader importance of maintaining open access to foundational crypto texts. It serves as a reminder of the community’s resilience and its commitment to resisting censorship.

这一结果不仅重申了该文件作为公共领域作品的地位，而且还强调了保持对基础加密文本的开放访问的更广泛重要性。它提醒人们社区的韧性及其抵制审查制度的承诺。

As Bitcoin continues to evolve, the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains an intriguing mystery and a separate issue from the practical and philosophical advancements of Bitcoin itself. The re-posting of the Bitcoin whitepaper symbolizes a return to these core principles and ideals, which have spurred the growth of Bitcoin from an obscure digital project to a major financial asset.

随着比特币的不断发展，中本聪的身份仍然是一个令人着迷的谜团，并且与比特币本身的实践和哲学进步无关。比特币白皮书的重新发布象征着对这些核心原则和理想的回归，这些原则和理想刺激了比特币从一个默默无闻的数字项目成长为主要的金融资产。

The saga surrounding its copyright has not only tested the legal boundaries of digital copyright and identity but also reinforced the collective spirit of the crypto community in upholding the principles of decentralization and accessibility.

围绕其版权的传奇故事不仅考验了数字版权和身份的法律界限，而且加强了加密货币社区维护去中心化和可访问性原则的集体精神。
