唐納川普和中國競相創建比特幣儲備

美國候任總統川普去年擁抱了比特幣和加密貨幣，推動了人們對加密貨幣的巨額押注，有些人擔心這種押注是「妄想」。

Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed a desire for the U.S. to establish a bitcoin strategic reserve, following his confirmation that he plans to get the U.S. ahead of China in the bitcoin race.

即將上任的美國總統川普在確認計畫讓美國在比特幣競賽中領先中國後，表示希望美國建立比特幣戰略儲備。

But hedge fund manager and former Trump communications director Anthony Scaramucci now believes that China has already started to acquire bitcoin.

但對沖基金經理人、前川普通訊總監安東尼‧斯卡拉穆奇(Anthony Scaramucci)現在認為，中國已經開始收購比特幣。

Speaking on the Bankless Podcast, Scaramucci said that China is aware of Trump's pro-bitcoin stance, and pointed to the bitcoin mining activity that is still present in the country, despite a 2021 ban on bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining that led to an exodus from the country.

斯卡拉穆奇在Bankless 播客上發表講話時表示，中國了解川普支持比特幣的立場，並指出，儘管2021 年禁止比特幣和加密貨幣採礦，導致大量人員逃離中國，但該國仍然存在比特幣採礦活動。

In December, Trump confirmed his plans to establish a U.S. bitcoin strategic reserve.

去年12月，川普確認了建立美國比特幣戰略儲備的計畫。

"We're gonna do something great with crypto because we don’t want China, or anybody else … but others are embracing it, and we want to be ahead," Trump told CNBC.

川普對 CNBC 表示：“我們將利用加密貨幣做一些偉大的事情，因為我們不想要中國或其他任何人……但其他人正在擁抱它，我們希望領先。”

"Yes, I think so," Trump said in response to a question about whether the U.S. will create a bitcoin strategic reserve, similar to its oil reserve.

「是的，我認為是這樣，」川普在回答有關美國是否會建立比特幣戰略儲備（類似於石油儲備）的問題時說道。

China and the U.S. both have around 200,000 bitcoin as a result of seizures from criminals, though the U.S. is eventually expected to sell its bitcoin at auction—something Trump said he doesn't want to happen.

中國和美國都從犯罪分子手中繳獲了約 20 萬枚比特幣，儘管美國最終預計將在拍賣會上出售比特幣——川普表示他不希望發生這種情況。

Back in July, then-Republican candidate Donald Trump pledged to create a "strategic national bitcoin reserve" and predicted that bitcoin could surpass gold's $16 trillion market cap during an appearance at the Bitcoin 2024 Conference.

早在 7 月，當時的共和黨候選人唐納德·川普在比特幣 2024 年會議上承諾建立“國家比特幣戰略儲備”，並預測比特幣可能超過黃金 16 兆美元的市值。

Since then, Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis has introduced a bill to Congress, titled the Boosting Innovation, Technology and Competitiveness Through Optimized Investment Nationwide (BITCOIN) Act, which proposes that the U.S. purchase 1 million bitcoin over five years to help reduce the spiraling $35 trillion U.S. national debt.

此後，共和黨參議員辛西婭·魯米斯(Cynthia Lummis) 向國會提出了一項名為《通過全國優化投資促進創新、技術和競爭力(BITCOIN) 法案》的法案，該法案建議美國在五年內購買100 萬枚比特幣，以幫助減少螺旋式上升的35 兆美元。

It's not just the U.S. and China that are looking to create a bitcoin reserve, however.

然而，尋求建立比特幣儲備的不僅是美國和中國。

Last month, Russia lawmakers were revealed to be pushing the country to create a bitcoin strategic reserve after Russian President Vladimir Putin praised bitcoin as an alternative to foreign currency reserves following the seizure of its funds by Western governments in response to its invasion of Ukraine.

上個月，西方政府因入侵烏克蘭而扣押比特幣資金後，俄羅斯總統普丁稱讚比特幣是外匯儲備的替代品，據透露，俄羅斯立法者正在推動該國建立比特幣戰略儲備。
