Bitcoin’s value is inching closer to its all-time high price of $108,786 on Monday as the US Congress is expected to debate a landmark cryptocurrency draft bill this week.

周一，比特币的价值越来越接近其历史上的高价108,786美元，因为预计美国国会将在本周辩论一项具有里程碑意义的加密货币草案。

It is however, already facing opposition from several Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, who raised concerns that the draft bill “does not include any provision to prevent Trump and the Trump family from raking in enormous amounts of money from their corrupt cryptocurrency schemes”.

然而，已经面对包括几位民主党人的反对派，包括参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren），他们担心法案草案“不包括防止特朗普和特朗普家族从其腐败的加密货币计划中赚取巨额资金的任何规定”。

Ms Warren’s Banking Committee staff also circulated another memo on Thursday, warning that “many of the new changes are fig leaves for significant flaws that jeopardise consumer protection and national security”.

沃伦（Warren）女士的银行委员会工作人员还在周四发行了另一份备忘录，警告说：“许多新的变化都是无花果叶子，因为它造成了危害消费者保护和国家安全的重大缺陷”。
