极客们推崇的这些理由主义和自由主义的东西，其实是有它的价值的。咱们现在觉得理所当然的基本人权包括，言论，宗教，集会和结社自由， 以及平等受到法律保护的权利，就是老祖宗辈的极客们争取来的。现在这个信息时代，咱们的一些私人信息，比如我早上买了啥，晚上吃了啥，咱们其实是不太想别人知道的，但有些互联网巨头就是***的无耻，吃喝拉撒睡都想来看一看，也不知道是谁给它们的权利。所以说咱们得反击，咱们得有个新的技术。

On a personal note, I am frequently frustrated that I give away usernames, passwords, locations, credit card details and other information to read newspapers or watch movies. I’m fascinated by the prospect of bitcoin Lightning wallets that may enable instant credit via micropayments without the need to offer personal information that my counterpart can monetise without approval or compensation.

比如说我吧，平时就喜欢读个报，看个电影啥的，但就这么点小爱好，我还得出卖我的用户名，密码，位置，信用卡详细信息和其他信息，所以我很不爽，所以说我得在吹一波闪电网络，用这玩意付钱，我这些私人信息都不需要提供。

So if you insist on being anonymous, doesn’t that mean you are hiding from the law? Of course not. To the contrary, I believe Bitcoin holds the promise of much more sophisticated KYC (know your customer) and AML (anti money laundering) procedures that enables access when there is legal grounds but keeps everything anonymous in all other circumstances. After all, the legacy bank systems are themselves arcane, complex, and vulnerable, which means there is room for innovation.

当然哈，我不想提供这些个人信息，不是说我干了啥不正经的事情，怕被警察逮着。比特币也有自己的KYC和反洗钱程序，可以保证在匿名的情况下确保交易的合法性。再说了，传统的这些银行也不是啥白莲花，干的这些偷鸡摸狗的勾当也少不到哪里去。比起来咱比特币身世清白多了。

Lastly, let’s also remember that the current system doesn’t work for everybody. As a business man in my sixties, I have access. The current system works relatively well from my perspective. But what about the poor but hard working farmer? What about the billions of unbanked that have no way of accessing a bank account, much less credit to build their lives?

另外吧，现在的这些金融服务也不是谁都可以用。咱发达国家的大老板，当然玩的溜，但是还有大批第三世界的底层老百姓，他们的钱银行割不到啊，所以咱的把比特币做好，把镰刀在升升级。

From their perspective, what we have today clearly doesn’t work. And the regulatory patchwork makes it even harder for them. It’s unacceptable. Bitcoin’s protocol should enable an ecosystem of applications that may change that because many more people will have access to mobile phones and the internet than have access to traditional financial infrastructure.
