Satoshi Nakamoto 写道： 你知道，我觉得在 90 年代，对此感兴趣的人要多得多， 但在基于可信第三方的系统（Digicash 等）失败了十多年之后， 他们认为这件事已经没有希望了。我希望他们能够看出区别：据我所知， 这是我们第一次尝试一种不以信任为基础的系统。
是的，这正是吸引我注意的主要特点。真正的诀窍 是让人们真正认可比特币的价值，使它们成为 货币。
如果 10 年后我们还没有以某种方式使用电子货币，我会感到惊讶，因为现在我们已经知道了一种实现方法，而且它不会在可信第三方畏缩时不可避免地被削弱。
它可以从一个狭窄的利基领域起步，比如奖励积分、捐赠代币、游戏货币或成人网站的微支付。起初，它可以用于服务中的工作量证明应用，这些服务几乎可以免费，但还不能完全免费。
它已经可以用来付费发送电子邮件。发送对话框可以调整大小，你想输入多长的消息都可以。连接建立后，消息会直接发送。收件人双击交易即可查看完整消息。如果某位名人收到的电子邮件多得看不过来，但仍希望让粉丝有办法联系自己，他可以设置好比特币，并在网站上公布 IP 地址。“向我这个 IP 的优先热线发送 X 个比特币，我会亲自阅读消息。”
订阅网站如果需要在免费试用中加入一些额外的工作量证明，以免免费试用挤占付费订阅，就可以对试用收取比特币。
也许先弄一些会是明智之举，以防它流行起来。如果有足够多的人都这么想，这就会成为一个自我实现的预言。一旦它起步，如果你能像往自动售货机里投硬币一样轻松地向网站支付几分钱，就会有数不胜数的应用。

Yea, that was the primary feature that caught my eye. The real trick will be to get people to actually value the BitCoins so that they become currency.
I would be surprised if 10 years from now we're not using electronic currency in some way, now that we know a way to do it that won't inevitably get dumbed down when the trusted third party gets cold feet.
It could get started in a narrow niche like reward points, donation tokens, currency for a game or micropayments for adult sites. Initially it can be used in proof-of-work applications for services that could almost be free but not quite.
It can already be used for pay-to-send e-mail. The send dialog is resizeable and you can enter as long of a message as you like. It's sent directly when it connects. The recipient doubleclicks on the transaction to see the full message. If someone famous is getting more e-mail than they can read, but would still like to have a way for fans to contact them, they could set up Bitcoin and give out the IP address on their website. "Send X bitcoins to my priority hotline at this IP and I'll read the message personally."
Subscription sites that need some extra proof-of-work for their free trial so it doesn't cannibalize subscriptions could charge bitcoins for the trial.
It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on. If enough people think the same way, that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Once it gets bootstrapped, there are so many applications if you could effortlessly pay a few cents to a website as easily as dropping coins in a vending machine.
