The disagreement
分歧焦点
Different opinions on how to deal with the so-called “16 million ELA” has been a long lasting problem in Elastos community. There are already too much arguments from both sides and each side cannot be convinced by the other. As for now, I think it doesn’t make any sense to dig out the root cause of the problem and argue who should be accountable. What is critical now is to resolve the differences and rebuild community unity for a better future together.
由1600万 ELA的去向引起的社区分歧是亦来云的历史遗留问题，双方各执一词的解读已经听得太多，现在再去探讨问题的起源以及责任已经没有任何意义。重要的是如何解决分歧，重新凝聚社区共识，共同创造更好的未来。
While saying congratulations to the 12 elected council members, let’s be aware that it is time to solve this issue now, as expected by our community.
我们在恭喜CR 12位当选委员的同时，应该意识到是解决这个问题的时候了，这是社区对委员们抱以期望的焦点之一。
Trust Crisis
信任危机
To be frank, I don’t care much about how many tokens are to be burned. Instead, I’m quite worried about the breakdown of community and the resulting trust crisis of the project. In the past days, EF has been questioned a lot, hence CR consensus is crucial for us to rebuild community unity. It will be a disaster if CR consensus is not recognized by our community.
与销毁多少代币相比，我更担忧的是社区共识的破裂，并由此引发的对项目更深的信任危机。在EF已经受到诸多质疑的今天，如果CR共识不再被社区信任，对亦来云来说，其后果将是灾难性的。
The essence of community development is to attract people. Miners, developers, investors, users, and propagandists are all indispensable. If the community loses its credit, its appeal to people, issuing more tokens just means a larger number on paper.
社区发展的本质是对人的吸引，矿工、开发者、投资人、宣传者以及其它用户，一个都不能少。项目如果失去社区的信任，失去对人的吸引力，发行再多代币也只是数字。
EF has recently decided to stopp rewarding core development teams by tokens because we noticed that there are more developers were no longer trying to hold more ELAs. This indeed rings an alarm. If the core developers start to be pessimistic about the project’s prospects, how can we expect the community to grow further?
EF近期已经决定停止对核心开发团队以代币方式的激励，原因是我们注意到越来越多的开发人员不再试图持有更多的ELA，这给了我们一个警醒的信号。如果连核心开发人员对项目前景都持悲观态度的话，我们还能指望社区能有更大的发展么？
Hard to balance
难以平衡
Token issuance is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, investing additional tokens to build up infrastructure and ecosystem will promote ecology and inject more fuel for medium and long-term development. On the other hand, excessive issuance of token will have negative impact on the credit of token which may destroy the current market and ecosystem of project.
代币增发是一把双刃剑。一方面通过把增发的代币投向基础设施和生态建设领域，繁荣市场和生态，为经济体注入中长期发展的动力；另一方面，超量发行的代币也可能造成对代币的信用危机，对现有的市场和生态造成打击。
It is difficult to strike a balance between stability and development. Almost every country in the real world has experienced economic turmoil caused by similar conflicts. Like a toddler, Elastos’s community cohesion is weak yet, our markets are not fully developed yet. There is a long way for Elastos to go to become a real economy. Before that we cannot afford turmoils.
如何在维护现有体系和未来发展之间取得平衡，这是一个很难的问题。几乎所有现实世界的国家都经历过类似矛盾造成的经济动荡。而亦来云的发展还在非常初期的阶段，离成为经济体的目标还有很长的路要走，脆弱的共识和市场基础经不起几次打击。
My Opinion
我的观点
Even if all the 16 million ELA are burned, Elastos won’t necessarily lose all the fuel. Currently, the CR Expense address has more than 1.2 million ELA donated by EF. Every year, 1.2% of token inflation is continuously injected into CR Asset address.
即便1600万代币被全部销毁，亦来云并非就失去了发展的动力。现在CR经费地址中还有EF捐献的120多万ELA，区块链上每年有1.2%的增发被源源不断的注入CR资产地址。
In addition, I noticed that more than 7 million ELAs were used to vote on DPoS Super Nodes. So it’s not impossible that we can issue community bonds to meet the sudden demand for tokens by mortgaging future returns of CR Assets.
此外，我注意到用于DPos投票的ELA有700多万，因此还存在另外一种可能，就是通过抵押CR资产未来收益的方式，发行社区债券来应对突发式的代币需求。
According to software engineering principle, a project with limited resources tends to be successful because it’s more likely to motivate team and stimulate their creativity. A lot of project practice also proves this indeed.
按照软件开发工程理论：一个有资源限制条件的项目更能凝聚目标，并激发出项目成员的创造性，因而比条件宽松的项目更容易取得成功。诸多的项目实践也证明了这个理论的正确。
The future of CR is in the hand of every council member. I would rather to solve the current trust crisis as a priority because I know that there maybe no future if we are stuck now.
CR的未来就在我们每一位委员手里。而我会选择优先解决信任危机的方案，因为我相信：没有现在，就没有未来。
