以太坊联合创始人Vitalik Buterin强调了集中数字支付的脆弱性以及分散付款替代方案带来的机会。

当瑞典重新迎合无现金社会的推动者时，以太坊联合创始人维塔利克·布特林（Vitalik Buterin）强调了集中的数字支付的脆弱性以及分散付款替代方案带来的机会。

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.

随着瑞典正在重新考虑其向无现金社会的推动，以太坊（ETH）联合创始人Vitalik Buterin强调了集中式数字支付的脆弱性以及分散付款替代方案带来的机会。

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强调了《卫报》的一篇文章，他说北欧人正在撤回无现金社会倡议，因为他们对该概念的集中实施太脆弱了。

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

“现金作为备份有必要，” Buterin说。

How Ethereum can play a role in a crisis

以太坊如何在危机中发挥作用

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.

一位前中央银行官员预测，2018年瑞典将在七年后无现金。根据《卫报》的说法，该预测主要是在2025年在该国只有10分之一的交易以现金进行。

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，尽管北欧国家是数字付款的早期采用者，但其政府出版了一本小册子，鼓励公民在战争或危机时保持一周的现金价值。

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，现场现金的重新出现可能是那些希望快速加密未来的人的挫折。

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，在不稳定时期，中央数字支付基础设施的问题仍然可靠。

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

巴特林建议以太坊可能是危机时期的分散金融后卫。

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

“以太坊需要足够弹性和足够私人，才能能够可靠地发挥这种作用。”

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:

当被问及完全离线的零知识技术安全的私人转移接近实际实施时，布特林说，技术知识已经存在，但是仍然存在局限性：

Crypto payments exec thinks crypto won’t replace fiat

加密付款执行官认为加密货币将不会取代菲亚特

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

同时，Mercuryo联合创始人兼首席执行官Petr Kozyakov表示，加密货币将不会取代菲亚特。

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

Kozyakov告诉Cointelegraph，加密支付解决方案变得越来越普遍，需求和收养也有所增加。

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，他认为，除了比特币（BTC）或Etheruem之类的加密货币而不是加密货币，完全取代了菲亚特货币作为付款方式，而是两种付款方式将共存。

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

Kozyakov解释说，当人们更容易和更实用时，人们将使用加密货币。

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，他解释说，如果某人需要快速汇款，并且以低成本的价格汇款，他们可能会选择使用加密支付服务。

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

但是，如果有人在当地商店进行少量购买，他们可能会使用菲亚特。
