美国中央情报机构（CIA）越来越多地将比特币（BTC）作为其运营中的工具

The US Central Intelligence Agency is increasingly incorporating Bitcoin (BTC) as a tool in its operations, and working with the cryptocurrency is a matter of national security, the agency’s deputy director, Michael Ellis, has said.

该机构副主任迈克尔·埃利斯（Michael Ellis）表示，美国中央情报机构越来越多地将比特币（BTC）纳入其运营中，与加密货币合作是国家安全问题。

In an appearance on Anthony Pompliano’s podcast, which was published on Monday, Ellis told the market analyst and investor that the intelligence agency is working with law enforcement to track BTC, and it is a point of data collection in counter-intelligence operations.

在周一出版的Anthony Pompliano播客上露面时，埃利斯告诉市场分析师和投资者，情报机构正在与执法部门合作跟踪BTC，这是反智能运营中数据收集的点。

"It's another area of competition where we need to ensure the United States is well-positioned against China and other adversaries," Ellis added.

埃利斯补充说：“这是另一个竞争领域，我们需要确保美国对中国和其他对手有充分的位置。”

Although Ellis's comments point to Bitcoin maturing as an asset, they also reflect the increased involvement of governments and institutions in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. This increased involvement runs contrary to the libertarian and cypherpunk ethos originally inherent in crypto.

尽管埃利斯（Ellis）的评论表明比特币成熟为资产，但它们也反映了政府和机构参与比特币和加密货币的参与。这种增加的参与与最初在加密货币固有的自由主义者和Cypherpunk精神背道而驰。

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, to mixed reactions from the Bitcoin community.

本周早些时候，唐纳德·特朗普总统签署了一项行政命令，建立了比特币社区的反应，建立了比特币战略储备。

Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey welcomed the move, while Venice AI founder and BTC advocate Erik Vorhees expressed concern over the government owning any Bitcoin.

比特币杂志首席执行官戴维·贝利（David Bailey）欢迎此举，而威尼斯AI创始人和BTC倡导者埃里克·沃希斯（Erik Vorhees）对政府拥有任何比特币表示关注。

"If the U.S. government is to adopt any crypto reserve, it should be Bitcoin-only," Vorhees added.

Vorhees补充说：“如果美国政府要采用任何加密储备，那应该是仅比特币的。”

Concerns that cryptocurrencies have lost their cypherpunk roots predate the current market cycle and any strategic reserve legislation or comprehensive regulatory frameworks for digital assets.

担心加密货币已经失去了Cypherpunk根源早于当前市场周期以及任何战略储备立法或数字资产的全面监管框架。

Back in March 2020, Therese Chambers, the former director of retail and regulatory investigations at the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), said that cryptocurrencies had become increasingly financialized and institutionalized.

早在2020年3月，英国金融行为管理局（FCA）的零售和监管调查局长特雷斯·钱伯斯（Therese Chambers）表示，加密货币已变得越来越多地财务化和制度化。

This development, Chambers added, had led to digital assets behaving far more like traditional financial instruments than the privacy-preserving tools they were initially billed as.

钱伯斯补充说，这一发展使数字资产的行为更像是传统的金融工具，而不是最初被计费的隐私工具。
