引用的来信Ray Dillinger来源 ↗这种“货币”的通胀率约为 35%，因为计算机每年提速的幅度就是这么大 ……这种技术几乎保证了 35% 的通胀率
the "currency" is inflationary at about 35% as that's how much faster computers get annually ... the inflation rate of 35% is almost guaranteed by the technology
硬件速度增长的问题已经处理了：“为了适应硬件速度不断提高，以及人们运行节点的意愿随时间变化，工作量证明的难度由移动平均值决定，目标是使每小时平均生成一定数量的区块。如果区块生成得太快，难度就会上升。”
Increasing hardware speed is handled: "To compensate for increasing hardware speed and varying interest in running nodes over time, the proof-of-work difficulty is determined by a moving average targeting an average number of blocks per hour. If they're generated too fast, the difficulty increases."
随着计算机速度变快，以及用于创建比特币的总算力增加，难度也会按比例增加，以保持新增产量不变。因此，未来每年会产生多少新比特币，是可以提前知道的。
As computers get faster and the total computing power applied to creating bitcoins increases, the difficulty increases proportionally to keep the total new production constant. Thus, it is known in advance how many new bitcoins will be created every year in the future.
新币的产生意味着货币供应量按计划增加，但这不一定导致通货膨胀。如果货币供应量的增长速度与使用人数的增长速度相同，价格就会保持稳定。如果供应增长赶不上需求，就会出现通货紧缩，早期持币者会看到其价值上升。
The fact that new coins are produced means the money supply increases by a planned amount, but this does not necessarily result in inflation. If the supply of money increases at the same rate that the number of people using it increases, prices remain stable. If it does not increase as fast as demand, there will be deflation and early holders of money will see its value increase.
总得有一种办法把币初始分配出去，恒定速率似乎是最好的办法。
Coins have to get initially distributed somehow, and a constant rate seems like the best formula.
