未解决的比特币区块大小之争仍然使加密社区存在分歧

在正在进行的“比特币区块战争”中，派系仍然存在分歧，让人想起乔纳森·斯威夫特（Jonathan Swift）的《格列佛游记》中的小纠纷。尽管随着时间的推移，关于区块链规模和交易费用的争论仍然在加密货币社区内引发冲突。

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

悬而未决的“比特币区块战争”继续分裂加密货币社区

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.

根据奥尔加·卡里夫 (Olga Kharif) 最近在彭博加密通讯中发表的一份报告，尽管时间流逝，比特币社区内激烈的“区块战争”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.

冲突源于对比特币区块链最佳区块大小的根本性意见分歧。块大小是指每个块可以包含的最大数据量，它作为网络上事务处理的原子单位。

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.

更大区块大小的支持者认为，这将增加区块链可以处理的交易数量，从而提高可扩展性并减少确认时间。然而，批评者认为，增加区块大小会破坏网络的去中心化，因为只有少数强大的节点才能提供运行所需的计算资源。

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.

多年来，关于区块大小的争论一直是比特币社区内颇具争议的话题，双方都激烈捍卫各自的立场。 2017年，冲突升级为“区块战争”，其特点是比特币网络上较大区块的支持者齐心协力投票压倒较小区块的支持者。

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.

尽管时间已经过去，“区块战争”的伤痕依然清晰可见，大区块大小的著名倡导者 Roger Ver 最近的评论就证明了这一点，他称这是一次“非常痛苦”的经历。冲突继续导致社区分裂，目前还没有明确的解决方案。

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.

乔纳森·斯威夫特的经典小说《格列佛游记》为“街区战争”提供了一个恰当的比喻。在小说中，敌对国家为了打破鸡蛋的正确位置是小端还是大端而发生了战争。同样，比特币社区一直无法就看似微不足道的区块大小问题达成共识，凸显了加密货币社区内部根深蒂固的分歧。

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.

随着“区块战争”继续拖延，比特币社区是否能够真正抛开过去，并在这个根本问题上找到共同点，还有待观察。
