"I've been working on a new electronic cash system that's completely peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party."

我一直在研究一个全新的电子现金系统：完全点对点，无需任何可信第三方。

站长按：万亿美元的资产类别、改写货币史的系统，第一次露面只有这一句话。没有发布会。

"Governments are good at cutting off the heads of a centrally controlled networks like Napster, but pure P2P networks like Gnutella and Tor seem to be holding their own."

政府擅长砍掉 Napster 这类中心化网络的头颅；而 Gnutella、Tor 这样的纯 P2P 网络，看起来正把自己守得很好。

"Yes, but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years."

是的——但我们可以在这场军备竞赛中赢下关键一役，为自由夺得一片能守上好些年的新疆土。

《泰晤士报》2009 年 1 月 3 日：财政大臣站在第二轮银行救助的边缘。

站长按：他把当天的报纸头条永久刻进了第 0 个区块。既是时间戳，证明此链不早于这一天；也是判词，说明此链为何而生。上面那行十六进制，就是这句话在链上的原貌——至今任何一台全节点电脑里都存着它。

"It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on."

万一它成了气候呢？先搞一点放着，或许是明智的。

"The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust."

传统货币的根本问题，在于它的运转必须依赖海量的信任。央行必须被信任不去稀释货币——可法币的历史，写满了对这种信任的背叛。

站长按：本站第一、二篇文章的全部内容，他用两句话就讲完了。

[2009-04-12] · 致 Mike Hearn 的邮件#容量

"The existing Visa credit card network processes about 15 million Internet purchases per day worldwide. Bitcoin can already scale much larger than that with existing hardware for a fraction of the cost. It never really hits a scale ceiling."

现有的 Visa 网络每天处理约 1500 万笔互联网支付。以现有硬件，比特币已能以远低于它的成本，扩展到比它大得多的规模——它实际上不会撞上容量天花板。

站长按：六年后的"扩容战争"中，争论的各方都举着这封信。原话与争论都在这里，请读者自己判断。

"I'm sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume."

我确信：二十年后，比特币的交易量要么非常巨大，要么归于零。

"The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime."

比特币的本性如此：0.1 版一经发布，核心设计便铸成铁律，终其一生不再更改。

"Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone."

丢失的币，只会让所有其他人的币更值钱一点点。把它当作给所有人的捐赠吧。

"Sorry to be a wet blanket. Writing a description for this thing for general audiences is bloody hard. There's nothing to relate it to."

抱歉泼盆冷水：要向普通大众描述这个东西实在太难了——世上没有任何现成的事物可以拿来类比。

站长按：连他自己都觉得难讲。所以本站存在。

"If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry."

如果你不相信我，或者没看懂——抱歉，我没有时间来说服你。

"The utility of the exchanges made possible by Bitcoin will far exceed the cost of electricity used. Therefore, not having Bitcoin would be the net waste."

比特币所促成的交换，其效用将远远超过所消耗的电力。因此，真正的浪费不是拥有比特币的世界——而是没有它的世界。

站长按：第四篇《内在价值》整篇，是给这两句话做的注脚。

[2010-12-11] · bitcointalk.org · 倒数第二帖#告别

"It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context. WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us."

换任何别的场合获得这种关注，本来都是好事。但维基解密捅了马蜂窝，蜂群正朝我们涌来。

站长按：次日（12 月 12 日）他发出最后一帖，谈的是一个普通的技术细节。然后，论坛上再无此人。
