Bitcoin能否忠於密碼朋克的理想？這是彼得·託德的建議
關於Bitcoin是否忠實於其密碼朋克原則的爭論已經升溫，批評者聲稱其去中心化和反控制的潛力正在消失。與此同時，該貨幣的開發商之一彼得·託德（Peter Todd）建議將“尾部排放”作爲替代方案。
密碼朋克運動的基礎強調tron的密碼學和隱私工具來保護個人權利並促進去中心化社會。它將加密中的“密碼”一詞與象徵叛逆、DIY精神的“朋克”結合在一起。
這一運動在塑造互聯網，特別是區塊鏈和加密貨幣等關鍵技術方面發揮了重要作用。Bitcoin的誕生也讓密碼朋克運動更接近其構建數字隱私、安全和獨立技術的目標。
近日，貝萊德對 BTC 固定的 2100 萬供應量上限 提出質疑。其中包含免責聲明：“不能保證Bitcoin2100 萬的供應上限不會改變。”
Micro Strategy 的首席執行官、比特幣最大持有者之一 Micheal Saylor 也轉發了該視頻。

Doubts have poured in over whether Bitcoin’s fixed supply remains as inviolable as one thought after BlackRock issued a disclaimer. Serious questions have been raised over the cryptocurrency’s capacity to bear long to its ethos due to the growing capitalist influence of corporate players.
Peter Todd suggested ‘tail emission’ for Bitcoin back in 2022
Another critic on X, @sebp888, criticized renowned Bitcoin developers, including Adam Back and Peter Todd, for remaining silent about these issues. He argued that Bitcoin’s community should fight back against the perceived growing corporate domination.
Peter Todd retweeted the tweet with a screenshot showing a community note under Sebastian’s post. The note pointed toward Todd’s article from 2022: “Surprisingly, Tail Emission Is Not Inflationary.”
In this piece, Todd contemplated the threats Bitcoin could face when it ditches block rewards in favor of transaction fees for miners’ incentives. This could happen after all of the Bitcoin supply has been mined.
He warned that such a shift could be unstable. “To date, no proof-of-work currency has ever operated solely on transaction fees, and academic analysis has found that in this condition, block generation is unstable.”
He suggested an alternative like Monero’s implementation of tail emission, in which miners receive a fixed, small reward per block forever.
Lost Bitcoins naturally balance out the continuously emitted coins
According to Todd, this model doesn’t cause inflation but rather creates a stable supply. He also said lost coins naturally balance out the continuously emitted coins. Thus, in the long run, coins are created just as fast as they are lost,” Todd said.
He explained it through mathematical modeling by which he proved that fixed rewards in combination with natural coin loss yield a stable monetary system.
One user on X, @LibreHans, doubted Peter Todd’s prediction. He said, “You think you can predict the future? How could anybody take you seriously?” Todd replied rather sarcastically that losing coins can only “magically” stop in the future.
However, his article also points out how difficult it would be to implement such changes on Bitcoin. Todd noted that a hard fork to enable it would likely mean not winning consensus from the large and diverse Bitcoin community.
“While Monero was able to get sufficiently broad consensus in the community to implement tail emission, it’s unclear at best if it would ever be possible to achieve that for the much larger Bitcoin,” he wrote.
