不过也不是没有办法。Jack Maller给我吹的那个闪电网络，我觉得有戏。啥是闪电网络呢？就是两个固定的交易伙伴，在比特币的区块链上建一个封闭的通道做买卖，今天你买我5毛钱的红薯，明天我买你1块钱的土豆，你来我往的，咱自己记个账（不需要发送到比特币的区块链上，也就不需要更新每个账本），等年底了咱合计合计，最后跟比特币的账本结算一下。每天的这些零碎交易就是闪电交易，1秒钟就可以处理数百万次，还贼安全，还没有交易手续费。（译者注：老爷子写的唾沫横飞，但大家看看就好。其实闪电网络的局限性和问题还是挺大的，引用场景目前很局限，安全性也有待考验，已经不是目前的主流扩容方案了）

Does a global distributed network of bilateral payment channels sound impossible? In fact, that’s how spot foreign exchange works. Aker is the largest investor in Abelee, a non-bank liquidity provider in the foreign exchange market. We have spent a lot of time learning about the microstructure of financial markets. It’s only a matter of time before the old and the new world of money is seamlessly connected.

点对点的跨境支付网络听起来高大上不？嘿嘿嘿，老哥我的公司早就玩上了。我们Aker大手笔投的Abelee，就是干这事的（点对点外汇交易）。金融市场的那些旮沓角落我们都扫过了，不是我跟你吹，前浪迟早被后浪给拍死，咱玩的这些小众玩意迟早成为主流。

On that night, with all of us on video from Chicago, Tel Aviv, and Oslo, Mallers sent dollars from a regular bank account in the U.S. via a wallet in Tel Aviv and further on to Oslo. Then, for fun, we sent it to an Aker colleague in Accra, Ghana. All these transactions took place instantaneously and at nearly no cost. This creates the possibility of programmable microtransactions, a payment stream, which can unlock limitless opportunities.

别不信，就早几天晚上，我们就视频见证了怎么把美金在不同的国家中转圈圈，还又快又没有手续费。想想看，这要是变成主流了，这里面有多大的蛋糕可以啃？

Applications will have different needs and people will be willing to make slight tradeoffs to achieve those. I’m certain that, with time and creativity, applications that scale in sidechains and layers on top of Bitcoin will flourish. This ecosystem can provide massive scalability, and will only need to settle with the mainchain now and again. Like getting a stamp of approval from the source of absolute truth.

只要好处给够，咱们都是好说话的嘛。比特币这玩意，可能有这的那的缺点，但只要饼足够大，咱都可以忍受，可以等它慢慢进化。我是无脑看多的，给它点时间，侧链和层上扩展的技术会慢慢解决这些问题，做出改变世界的应用来。这些应用类似于闪电网络那样，给比特币生态带来足够的可扩展性。（尬吹闪电网络，不过也可以理解，这么大年纪的人了，在技术层面上很难去穷枝末节） (责任编辑：admin)
