All that truly matters is scaling Bitcoin. The rest is noise—distractions from the original vision, from the purpose that was clear from the start. Transactions need to flow like water, unobstructed, limitless, reaching everyone, everywhere. Without scaling, it’s nothing but an experiment, a theory with no real-world application.
It was always meant to grow, to become something vast, capable of handling the demands of the entire world, not just a privileged few. The goal was never to preserve some static ideal but to build something that could evolve, adapt, and expand to meet the needs of billions. Anything less than that, and it fails its purpose.
The key is scale, not in theory, but in practice. In every transaction, every block, every piece of code, the future depends on how far we can push it. Without scaling, Bitcoin will never be what it was designed to be.

上段英文翻译成中文如下：
真正重要的是比特币的扩容。其余的都是噪音——分散了人们对最初愿景的注意力，分散了从一开始就明确的目的。交易需要像水一样流动，畅通无阻，无限制，触及每个人、每个地方。没有扩容，它只不过是一个实验，一个没有实际应用的理论。
它一直意味着成长，成为一个庞大的东西，能够满足整个世界的需求，而不仅仅是少数特权阶层的需求。目标从来不是保留一些静态的理想，而是建立一个可以发展、适应和扩展以满足数十亿人需求的东西。任何低于这个目标的东西，都达不到它的目的。
关键是规模，不是理论上的，而是实践上的。在每一笔交易、每一个区块、每一段代码中，未来都取决于我们能把它推到多远。没有扩容，比特币就永远不会成为它被设计成的样子。
