美國加密貨幣選民之爭正在升溫

比特幣會議定於 7 月 25 日星期四至 7 月 27 日星期六舉行。

Kamala Harris will not appear at the upcoming Bitcoin 2024 conference, according to a tweet by David Bailey, the CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, which is organizing the event.

根據組織這項活動的《比特幣雜誌》執行長 David Bailey 在推特上的說法，卡馬拉哈里斯不會出席即將舉行的比特幣 2024 年會議。

Harris, the United States Vice President, is garnering support from Democratic delegates to lead the party in the upcoming elections, according to an A.P. survey.

美聯社的一項調查顯示，美國副總統哈里斯正在獲得民主黨代表的支持，以在即將到來的選舉中領導該黨。

Her absence from the Bitcoin conference comes as a blow to Harris, who is vying for the crypto vote.

她缺席比特幣會議對正在爭奪加密貨幣投票的哈里斯來說是一個打擊。

However, Donald Trump is expected to grace the event with his presence, and some speculate that he may announce his intentions to list Bitcoin as a U.S. reserve currency during his speech.

然而，唐納德·川普預計將出席這次活動，有些人猜測他可能會在演講中宣布將比特幣列為美國儲備貨幣的意圖。

The U.S. administration's stance on cryptocurrencies has angered the crypto community, leading Trump to adopt a pro-crypto approach and enter the scene.

美國政府對加密貨幣的立場激怒了加密社區，導致川普採取支持加密貨幣的態度並介入其中。

The number of U.S. crypto holders is on the rise, with Triple A research indicating that there were approximately 53 million cryptocurrency holders in the United States as of 2022.

美國加密貨幣持有者數量正在增加，Triple A 研究表明，截至 2022 年，美國約有 5,300 萬加密貨幣持有者。

This serves as the primary reason crypto has become a focal point of the upcoming elections.

這是加密貨幣成為即將到來的選舉焦點的主要原因。

In a bid to further appeal to the crypto community, Trump stated at the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, D.C., that he would commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road, a darknet marketplace.

為了進一步吸引加密貨幣社區，川普在華盛頓特區舉行的自由黨全國代表大會上表示，他將為暗網市場絲綢之路創始人羅斯·烏布利希特(Ross Ulbricht)減刑。

"If you vote for me, on Day 1, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht to a sentence of time served. He's already served 11 years; we're gonna get him home.”

「如果你投票給我，在第一天，我將把 Ross Ulbricht 的刑期減刑為服刑。他已經服刑 11 年了；我們會把他送回家。”

To bolster his crypto-friendly approach, Trump announced that his campaign will accept crypto donations.

為了支持他對加密貨幣友好的態度，川普宣布他的競選活動將接受加密貨幣捐贈。

The Wall Street Journal reports that Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, co-founders of Gemini, donated $1.6M worth of Bitcoin, while the co-founder of the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange donated $845k worth of Ethereum.

根據《華爾街日報》報道，Gemini 聯合創始人 Cameron 和 Tyler Winklevoss 捐贈了價值 160 萬美元的比特幣，而 Kraken 加密貨幣交易所的聯合創始人則捐贈了價值 845,000 美元的以太坊。

It appears that key figures from the crypto industry are extending their support for Trump, but will he deliver? Not everyone is convinced. Crypto voters could lose all leverage.

加密貨幣行業的關鍵人物似乎正在擴大對川普的支持，但他會兌現承諾嗎？並非所有人都相信。加密貨幣選民可能會失去所有影響力。

According to BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, Trump views crypto as a political tool, and once the elections are over, the crypto community could lose its leverage.

BitMEX 聯合創始人 Arthur Hayes 表示，川普將加密貨幣視為一種政治工具，一旦選舉結束，加密貨幣社群可能會失去影響力。

Instead, Hayes suggests applying pressure on the current U.S. administration to pass legislation before the elections. He believes this can be achieved if the crypto community unites and votes as a single bloc.

相反，海耶斯建議向現任美國政府施加壓力，要求在選舉前通過立法。他相信，如果加密社區團結起來並作為一個整體進行投票，這一目標就可以實現。

According to PolitiFact, out of the total campaign promises made by Trump, 55 were broken, 23 were compromised on, and only 24 promises were kept.

據PolitiFact稱，在川普做出的全部競選承諾中，有55項被違背，23項被妥協，只有24項被兌現。

However, Trump appears to have conducted extensive research on cryptocurrencies. He will likely put his best foot forward at the Bitcoin conference, which may ultimately influence the volatility of the crypto markets (should he fail to meet expectations).

然而，川普似乎對加密貨幣進行了廣泛的研究。他可能會在比特幣會議上展現自己最好的一面，這最終可能會影響加密貨幣市場的波動（如果他未能達到預期）。

Although Harris will be skipping the conference, Mark Cuban suggests her approach to crypto will differ from Biden's. In an interview with Politico, Cuban had this to say:

儘管哈里斯將缺席會議，但馬克·庫班表示她對加密貨幣的態度將與拜登不同。庫班在接受 Politico 採訪時說：

“The feedback I’m getting, though not confirmed by the V.P., is that she will be far more open to business, A.I., crypto and government as a service. Changing the policies changes the message and lets everyone know she is in charge and open, literally, for business.”

「我得到的回饋雖然沒有得到副總裁的證實，但她將對商業、人工智慧、加密貨幣和政府即服務更加開放。改變政策就改變了信息，讓每個人都知道她是負責人，並且對商業開放。

Furthermore, reports suggest that Harris' team has approached key figures in the crypto industry to shape her policy.

此外，有報導稱哈里斯的團隊已經接觸了加密貨幣行業的關鍵人物來製定她的政策。

Harris has about four weeks to unveil her agenda at the Democratic National Convention. Despite Harris' absence from the Bitcoin conference, we can anticipate significant volatility in the markets, including the U.S., as crypto takes center stage in the Presidential race.

哈里斯有大約四個星期的時間在民主黨全國代表大會上公佈她的議程。儘管哈里斯缺席了比特幣會議，但我們可以預見，隨著加密貨幣在總統競選中佔據中心舞台，包括美國在內的市場將大幅波動。
