Vitalik Buterin希望以太坊拥抱比特币的最大优势之一

在最近的博客文章中，以太坊联合创始人Vitalik Buterin提出了一系列旨在简化以太坊1层设计的更改

In a recent blog post, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, proposed several changes to simplify the blockchain's Layer-1 design. He took inspiration for these suggestions from what he deems one of Bitcoin’s “best things.”

以太坊联合创始人Vitalik Buterin在最近的博客文章中提出了一些更改，以简化区块链的层设计。他从比特币的“最好的事情”中为这些建议汲取了灵感。

Buterin highlighted that one of the greatest advantages of Bitcoin is its elegant simplicity, which has helped it remain robust and understandable, even to non-experts.

Buterin强调，比特币的最大优势之一就是它的优雅简单性，它使它保持了坚固且可以理解，即使是非专家也可以理解。

“One of the best things about Bitcoin is how simple it is. This simplicity has lots of benefits. Let’s bring those benefits to Ethereum,” Buterin wrote.

“关于比特币的最好的事情之一就是它的简单。这种简单有很大的好处。让我们将这些好处带给以太坊，” Buterin写道。

What Makes Bitcoin’s Simplicity So Powerful?

是什么使比特币的简单性如此强大？

According to Buterin, Bitcoin’s core protocol is so minimalistic that even a smart high school student can fully understand it.

根据Buterin的说法，比特币的核心协议是如此简约，以至于即使是聪明的高中生也可以完全理解它。

This makes Bitcoin not only more accessible for hobbyist developers to build clients but also contributes to its overall security and decentralization, as more people are capable of auditing or verifying the network.

这使得比特币不仅可以让业余爱好者开发人员建立客户，还可以促进其整体安全性和权力下放，因为越来越多的人能够审核或验证网络。

Ethereum: Powerful but Complex

以太坊：强大但复杂

Ethereum, in contrast, has become far more complex over time due to its support for smart contracts, staking, Layer-2s, and DeFi applications.

相比之下，以太坊随着时间的流逝而变得更加复杂，因为它支持智能合约，订阅，第2层和DEFI应用程序。

While this makes Ethereum powerful, it also makes the network harder to understand, maintain, and scale securely.

尽管这使以太坊变得强大，但它也使网络更难理解，维护和安全扩展。

Buterin’s suggestion isn't to strip away Ethereum's capabilities but to simplify the core protocol, making it easier to verify and more resistant to systemic risks.

Buterin的建议不是剥夺以太坊的功能，而是简化核心协议，使其更容易验证并更耐心地对系统风险具有抵抗力。

The Path Forward

前进的路

Though he hasn't yet released a definitive roadmap, Buterin’s remarks could spur further discussion on protocol design, especially as Ethereum transitions deeper into its proof-of-stake future and as Layer-2 adoption increases. By combining Ethereum's flexibility with Bitcoin's clarity, Buterin envisions a next-generation protocol that's both powerful and user-verifiable.

尽管他尚未发布确定的路线图，但Buterin的讲话可能会刺激有关协议设计的进一步讨论，尤其是随着以太坊更深入到其未来证明的未来，随着第二层采用的提高。通过将以太坊的灵活性与比特币的清晰度相结合，Buterin设想了一种既有功能又可验证的下一代协议。
