我对David Sonstebo被董事会开除的个人看法

以下来自于我在官方Disocrd服务器某次讨论：

David is a great thinker and a former great leader. He laid out a great vision for IOTA, a vision that attracted and inspired all of us, including speculators, investors, technology enthusiasts and a large group of potential industry partners. But in reality, many knew that one day he would have to leave, and I even suspect that he himself was well aware of this.

大卫是一位伟大的思想家，也是一位伟大的领袖。他为IOTA规划了一个伟大的愿景，这个愿景吸引并激励了我们所有人，包括投机者、投资者、技术爱好者和一大群潜在的行业合作伙伴。但事实上，很多人都知道他总有一天会离开，我甚至怀疑他自己也清楚地意识到了这一点。

Because once a great idea is recognized by the masses, the builders become increasingly important, and only they can turn the dream into reality, and there is a limit to the patience of all those who expect this dream to come true. And the importance of the initial thinker will be replaced by a professional preacher.

因为一个伟大的想法一旦被大众认可，建设者就会变得越来越重要，只有他们才能把梦想变成现实，所有期待梦想成真的人的耐心都是有限的。而最初的思想者的重要性将被一个职业的布道者/宣传高手所取代。

And a departure will undoubtedly happen if this thinker cannot continue to play a major role in the construction and ever leave a handle to be attacked because of their independent character. This happens so often that many people recognize it and are silent when it happens. This is the rule of the game, without much interpretation.

如果这种思想者不能继续在后续的实现过程中起主要作用，并且还因为其特立独行而留下被人攻击的把柄时（譬如多次为IOTA喊单导致部分投资者蒙受损失），那么这种分离无疑就会发生。这种情况发生得如此频繁，以至于许多人都能认出它，当它发生时，他们都保持沉默。这是游戏的规则，无需太多的解释。

I have no doubt that he loved IOTA deeply, and I even suspect that the compensation for that theft was his attempt to make one last major contribution to IOTA. I will always miss him and wish him well.

我毫不怀疑他深爱着IOTA，我甚至怀疑对那次盗窃的补偿是他试图对IOTA做出最后的重大贡献。我会一直想念他，祝他一切顺利。
