Edward Snowden Under Fire: Solana Developer Challenges NSA Whistleblower — 'You Are Full Of Baloney' If You Can't Back Up Your Centralization Claims!
"If you can't do this and you call Solana centralized, you are full of baloney," Mumtaz commented.An influential member of the Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) developer ecosystem has openly challenged renowned whistleblower Edward Snowden to prove his claims about the blockchain's centralization, sparking a heated debate in cryptocurrency circles.
Solana（CRYPTO：SOL）開發者生態系統中的一位具有影響力的成員公開挑戰知名告密者愛德華·斯諾登，要求他證明關於blockchain中心化的說法，引發了數字貨幣圈的激烈辯論。
What Happened: Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Solana-based developer platform Helius, took to X to challenge Snowden's assertion that Solana is a centralized network and asked him to provide concrete data to back the claim.
發生了什麼：總部位於Solana的開發者平台Helius的CEO Mert Mumtaz發起挑戰，質疑斯諾登關於Solana是一箇中心化網絡的斷言，並要求他提供具體數據支持這一說法。
Mumtaz argued that it would be impossible for a single entity to gain control over Solana's network, given its vast distribution across different jurisdictions, countries, and governments.
Mumtaz認爲，由於Solana在不同司法管轄區、國家和政府之間廣泛分佈，要讓一個單一實體控制Solana網絡是不可能的。
"If you can't do this and you call Solana centralized, you are full of baloney," Mumtaz commented.
「如果你不能做到這一點並稱Solana爲中心化，那你就是胡說八道，」 Mumtaz評論道。
He also pointed out that while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) might be more decentralized than Solana, it doesn't imply that Solana is centralized. Mumtaz invited Snowden to a live debate on the issue.
他還指出，雖然比特幣（CRYPTO：BTC）和以太幣（CRYPTO：ETH）可能比Solana更加去中心化，但這並不意味着Solana就是中心化的。Mumtaz邀請斯諾登就這個問題進行現場辯論。
Snowden seems to think Solana is centralized — while giving 0 data to back it up

I challenge anyone to show me the precise attack vector that would let a single entity exercise a loss of funds, or prolonged power over the network

斯諾登似乎認爲Solana是中心化——但沒有提供任何數據支持這一說法

我挑戰任何人向我展示一個精確的攻擊路徑，能讓一個單一實體控制資金損失或網絡上的長期權力

The rebuttal was in response to Snowden's remarks at the Token 2049 cryptocurrency conference in Singapore, where he touched on Solana's operations.
這一反駁是針對斯諾登在新加坡 Token 2049 數字貨幣大會上的言論，他談到了 Solana 的運營。
"A lot of people and you know I don't want to name names but Solana are taking good ideas and they're just going, 'Well, what if we just centralized everything? It'll be faster, it'll be more efficient, (and) it'll be cheaper.' Yeah sure, it is. You're right, but nobody's using it but for like meme coins and scams."
「有很多人，我不想點名，但 Solana 正在借用好的想法，然後他們就說，『我們把一切都集中化怎麼樣？會更快，更高效，（而且）更便宜。』 是的，確實是。你說得對，但除了追漲幣和騙局，沒有人在使用它。」
Why It Matters: Snowden is one of the biggest decentralization advocates, praising Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and cryptocurrencies for their role in resisting state interference. During the Token 2049 conference, he cautioned against diluting these principles to appease institutional investors.
爲什麼重要：斯諾登是最大的去中心化倡導者之一，讚揚比特幣及各種數字貨幣在抵制國家干預方面發揮的作用。在 Token 2049 大會上，他警告不要爲了迎合機構投資者而淡化這些原則。
His remarks questioning Solana's challenge come at a time when a prominent cryptocurrency commentator predicted that the network's native token SOL would jump fivefold by the fourth quarter of 2025.
在一位知名的數字貨幣評論員預測該網絡的本地貨幣 SOL 2025年第四季度將增長五倍之際，他對 Solana 挑戰提出質疑。
Last month, Anthony Scaramucci, CEO of SkyBridge Capital, highlighted the potential of tokenization to revolutionize the financial system, a sector he believed Solana is well-positioned to lead.
上個月，SkyBridge Capital CEO 安東尼·斯卡拉穆奇強調了代幣化潛力，他認爲 Solana 在引領金融系統革命方面處於有利位置。
The debate between Mumtaz and Snowden could provide further insights into Solana's decentralization and its potential to reshape the future of the internet.
Mumtaz 和斯諾登之間的辯論可能進一步揭示 Solana 的去中心化及其重塑互聯網未來的潛力。
Price Action: At the time of writing, SOL was exchanging hands at $142.07, down nearly 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
價格走勢：截至目前，SOL 的交易價格爲142.07美元，根據 Benzinga Pro 的數據，在過去 24 小時下跌了近4%。
