比特现金要在委内瑞拉扎根了吗？

A once rich country, an educated population, a fairly developed economy, now on its knees due to monetary mismanagement with hyperinflation reaching legendary levels.
曾经富裕的国家，受过良好教育的人口，相当发达的经济，由于货币管理不善，恶性通货膨胀达到传奇水平，现在已经岌岌可危。

What better opportunity to showcase digital cash, the people’s currency, which can’t be inflated away by the whims of corrupt or well meaning bureaucrats and politicians?
有什么更好的机会展示加密货币，无论腐败或善意的官僚政治家的何种想法，都不会通货膨胀？

An opportunity that Bitcoin Cash has taken and with both arms. It started organically, ordinary cryptonians online tipping Venezuelans. Then it took a more organized form as some entrepreneurial samaritans there established crypto to food pipelines.
比特现金牢牢抓住这个机会。开始普通加密货币爱好者给委内瑞拉人在线小费。然后它采取了更有组织的形式，因为那里的一些大型企业对食品供应链使用加密货币。

Now there are rewards for getting Venezuelan businesses to accept Bitcoin Cash. How much they are rewarded is not disclosed, but there are “restaurants, bakeries, pizzerias, electronic stores and locksmiths across Venezuela” accepting Bitcoin Cash.
现在，让委内瑞拉商业接受比特现金得到了回报。究竟他们获得多少回报还不得而知，但委内瑞拉的“餐馆，面包店，比萨店，电子商店和锁匠”已经接受比特现金。

In addition there is the Bitcoin Cash Fund which has ambition “to help Bitcoin Cash (BCH) serve one billion users within five years.”
此外还有比特币现金基金会，其目标是“帮助比特现金（BCH）在五年内为10亿用户提供服务。”

Shoot for the stars and you might land somewhere, but the situation in Venezuela might hopefully soon change enough. Their president recently announced plans to drop some zeros, just like that, and to back the now zero-lean currency with Petro, the bond-token.
求其上，得其中。但委内瑞拉的情况可能很快就会发生变化。他们的总统最近宣布计划放弃一些通货膨胀，并用石油币作为债券代币支持现在非通胀货币。

Undoubtedly the widening of BCH adoption has exerted some pressure on the fiat money managers who after a tipping point might find it hard to get people in Venezuela back onto their funny money.
毫无疑问，比特现金广泛的使用给法币管理者带来了一些压力，他们在一个临界点之后可能会发现难以让委内瑞拉人民重新使用法币。

Nor would the government necessarily force them as some believe, including Paul Krugman, who says fiat has value because men with guns say so. What problem does crypto solve, he then asks.
政府也不必像有些人所认为的那样强迫他们，包括保罗克鲁格曼，他说法币具有价值，因为有枪的人这么说。他问：加密货币解决了什么问题？

Well, the men with guns problem, some witty cryptonians retorted, but why should men with guns prefer fiat over crypto?
好吧，那些有枪的男人才有问题，一些诙谐的加密货币爱好者反驳说，但为什么有枪的男人更喜欢法币而不是加密货币呢？

Governments, and by extension men with guns, are paid through taxes, not central banks. Central banks serve commercial banks and keep an eye on them so that they do not print too much money through debt.
政府，以及带枪支的男子，通过税收而非中央银行获得报酬。中央银行为商业银行提供服务并密切关注它们，以便它们不会通过债务打印过多的法币。

Governments, on the other hand, serve the people and for that service the people can pay them in BCH, eth, or moon tokens for all they care.
另一方面，政府为人民服务，为了这一服务，人民可以用比特现金、以太坊或月球币来支付给政府。

Which might explain why governments tend to u-turn after learning what all this crypto stuff is, and usually they then tend to even become enthusiastic about it. While central banks have reeed cryptos and keep reee-ing cryptos and probably always will until the younger bankers develop better crypto based tools for a new monetary system.
这也许可以解释为什么政府在理解所有这些加密货币本质后，会倾向于态度转变，通常他们甚至会对此充满热情。虽然中央银行已经在观望加密密码并继续观望中，但可能永远都要等到新的银行家为新的货币体系开发更好的加密货币工具。

That won’t happen overnight, if it happens at all. It’s not something that can be forced, but by free choice. If they are persuaded then fine, if not then they can keep using whatever they want.
如果它发生的话，不会在一夜之间发生。这不是可以被迫的东西，而是通过自由选择。如果他们被说服使用那没关系，如果没有，那么他们可以继续使用他们想要的任何东西。

Plenty in Venezuela are being persuaded because there it solves an immediate and a very real problem. They basically have no monetary system, so cryptos are naturally a substitute.
委内瑞拉的大量人士正在被说服，因为它解决了一个直接而且非常现实的问题。它们基本上没有货币系统，因此加密货币本身就是替代品。

Nor is it limited to Venezuela. Edge cases combine across the globe with bitcoin’s network transferring something like $8 billion worth a day, while BitPay processes a bitcoin payment every ten seconds.
它也不仅限于委内瑞拉。各类边缘案例在全球范围内与比特币的网络相结合，每天传递的价值约80亿美元，而BitPay每10秒处理一次比特币支付。

Those are big numbers in a way and small numbers when we’re talking of a global arena. Just as Venezuela is seeing growing adoption, but still it is relatively tiny compared to the entire economy.
在全球舞台上，这一数值在某种程度上是一个很小的数字。正如委内瑞拉的采用率越来越高，但与整个全球经济相比，它仍然相对较小。

Yet tiny it has to start. Gradual and incremental growth is necessary because people need to be educated so they don’t throw away keys, current institutions need to adapt, coders need to refine and so on.
星星之火可以燎原。逐步增长和增量增长是必要的，因为人们需要接受教育，这样他们就不会丢掉货币密钥，当前的机构需要适应，程序员需要改进等等。

With Bitcoin Cash currently, however, what is somewhat unique about it is that it can actually start. Eth of course has little capacity at this stage, which will change in the coming months. Bitcoin is experimenting with a completely untried, in the wild, second layer.
然而，就目前的比特现金而言，它的独特之处在于它实际可行的运用。在这个阶段，以太坊当然还没有那么大的承载力，虽然这在未来几个月会发生变化。比特币正在试验一个完全未经验证的第二层系统。

While Bitcoin Cash has plenty of capacity and is willing to allow growth in resource requirements for nodes in a bet of sorts that if demand does so significantly increase then there would be businesses and entities across the globe that need to run a node thus making collusion difficult if at all possible.虽然比特现金拥有足够的容量，并且愿意允许各种节点的资源需求增长，如果需求大幅增加，那么全球的企业和实体都需要运行节点，从而可能使共谋勾结变得困难。

In return they get a tried and proven network that is pretty simple in design and in its foundations while having plenty of capacity for 10 million transactions a day which can be increased to accommodate more.
作为回报，他们获得了一个经过实验且验证的网络，该网络在设计和基础上非常简单，同时拥有足够的容量，每天可以进行1000万次交易，可以增加以容纳更多交易。

In other words, they could arguably handle all of Venezuelan commerce right now. For Venezuelan demand to significantly rise, however, some time is needed.
换句话说，他们现在有能力处理委内瑞拉所有商业交易。然而，委内瑞拉的商业需求的大幅增加，还需要一些时间。

But the seeds have started taking root in the country, and they might proliferate, potentially giving us one local where in some years time a complete production cycle is done through paying by cryptocurrencies.
但种子已经开始在这个国家扎根，它们可能会扩散，潜在的给我们一个地方，用一些年的时间，通过支付加密货币完成一个完整的工业生产周期。
