BN:你好，Scott,非常感谢你能抽出时间回答我们的问题。首先，我真的想问一下，你对当前区块链技术发展的预期和现实相符吗？

Stornetta: Well, it’s very surprising and pleasant to see that much interest and lots of capable people entering this space. It’s really a little bit surreal for me. Of course, when Stuart and I did the early blockchain work we had high hopes for it, but we could not even imagine these huge results. My main concern and hope is that people will focus on the fundamentals and avoid the speculative aspects of this space. The foundation that we’ve built is secure. And if people will build a trusted space and systems on top of it, then they can prosper. But there is no need to become an instant millionaire.

Stornetta:看到这么多人对这个领域感兴趣，看到这么多有能力的人进入这个领域，我感到非常惊讶和高兴。这对我来说，真的有点不真实。当然，刚我和 Stuart 做早期区块链工作的时候，我们对它抱有很高的期望，但我们也从未想到会有这样的硕果。我主要担忧，也希望的是，大家会集中精力关注基本面，避免在这个领域的投机因素。我们建立的基础设施是安全的，如果有人在这之上建立一个可信赖的空间和体系，那么他们就可以一路高歌下去。但是没有必要马上成为百万富翁。

BN: What are your greatest fears today, regarding the future of blockchain?

BN：对于区块链未来的发展，你今天最担心什么？

Stornetta: Well, pretty much the same thing: that people will focus too much on speculating and won’t be able to see the need to create underline value in trust-based system.

Stornetta:嗯，基本上还担心同样的东西:人们会把太多的注意力放在投机上，而看不到在基于信任的体系中创造潜在价值的必要性。

BN: Which skills and qualities are relevant and welcome in blockchain community? Where do you suggest to focus those enthusiasts, who just enter the space. 

BN：在区块链社区中，哪些技能和品质与之相关并受到欢迎？对于这些刚刚进入这个领域的爱好者们，您建议他们专注于哪些地方？

Stornetta: First of all, try to understand the technology well enough, so you can navigate the space. The second and really, in a sense, the most important thing is to find an opportunity where you can create some real value. Imagine how you along with others could create a better system than what currently exists. And the third thing is to find a way to monetize the created value. And don’t get to step 3 in front of step 2, or in front of step 1. Develop your own rational, a step-by-step way.

Stornetta：首先，尝试更好地理解区块链技术，这样你就可以在这个领域里探索遨游了。从某种意义上说，第二也是最重要的，是找到一个可以创造一些真正价值的机会。想象一下，如何与其他人一起创建比现有系统更好的系统。第三是找到一种通过创造价值获利的方法。不要在第2步或第1步之前进行第3步。一步一步来，开发你自己的思维。

Blockchain community has been very creative since the very beginning. Regarding the fundamental idea of decentralization and democratization people don’t want to be told what to do by some central authority. I think, people in blockchain quite naturally try to find opportunities allying with their own philosophy.

区块链社区从一开始就非常有创意。基于去中心化和民主化的思想，人们不希望被某个中央权威告知要做什么。我认为，在区块链领域里人们会很自然地找到与符合自己的理念的机会。

BN: When does blockchain project becomes a success?

BN：区块链项目什么时候算成功？

Stornetta: When it builds a community of trust and adds value to the world, makes the world a better place to live in.

Stornetta：当它建立一个信任的社区并为世界增加价值时，使世界成为一个更加美好的地方。

BN: How do you see the long-term perspectives of blockchain technology?

BN：您如何看待区块链技术的长期前景？

Stornetta: If you look at what’s happening now in blockchain industry… now we witness a tremendous opportunity and space for many other decentralised systems and services, along with the projects which already exist. For instance, those that try to put identity and non-financial assets on blockchain, so that we don’t have to surrender our identity to a central trusted governmental authority. It is a big step forward.

Stornetta：如果你看看现在区块链行业正在发生的事情……现在我们看到了许多其他去中介系统和服务领域以及现有项目的巨大机遇和空间。例如，那些试图将身份和非金融资产放在区块链上的公司，这样我们就不必将我们的身份交给一个中央信任的政府机构。这是向前迈出的一大步。

BN: Have you heard anything about Russian blockchain community?

BN：你对俄罗斯区块链社区有什么了解吗？

Stornetta: Certainly, for sure. Russia has strong technical skills. It’s an incredible resource for programming. Talking about the community in broader sense, in my opinion at this point it’s sort of eclectic and dominated by some centralized authority. So, I think, that you can restructure it and make more efficient by decentralizing it.

Stornetta：当然,肯定的。俄罗斯有很强的技术能力。这对于编程来说是一个令人难以置信的资源。从更广泛的意义上说，在我看来，这是一种折衷主义，由一些中心化机构统治。因此，我认为，你可以重组它，通过去中介化来提高效率。
