中央情报局的眼睛比特币是付款和情报的战略工具

中央情报局副主任迈克尔·杰伊利斯（Michael Jayellis）确认，该机构将比特币和其他加密货币视为投机资产，而且是运营工具。

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is closely monitoring Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies as strategic tools for facilitating payments and gathering intelligence, especially in tracking the activity of terrorist groups, drug cartels, and hostile regimes, according to remarks by CIA Deputy Director Michael Jayellis.

根据CIA副总监Michael Jayellis的讲话，中央情报机构（CIA）正在密切监视比特币（BTC）和其他加密货币作为促进付款和收集情报的战略工具，尤其是在跟踪恐怖组织，毒品卡特尔和敌对政权的活动时，尤其是在跟踪恐怖组织的活动时。

In an interview with investor Anthony Pompliano, Jayellis discussed how the agency views digital assets not just as speculative investments but also operational tools in its broader operations.

在接受投资者Anthony Pompliano的采访中，Jayellis讨论了该机构如何将数字资产视为投机性投资，而且在其更广泛的运营中运营工具。

Contrary to popular opinion, Jayellis emphasized that BTC is not anonymous, but pseudonymous—making it possible to follow the trail and identify the users, especially when there is an initial point of contact.

与大众意见相反，Jayellis强调BTC不是匿名的，而是假名 - 可以沿着步道识别用户，尤其是在有初始联系点时。

“We can follow that chain and tie it back to the bad actors that we’re tracking,” Jayellis said.

杰伊利斯说：“我们可以遵循该链条，并将其与我们追踪的坏演员联系起来。”

He added that the CIA is working closely with relevant authorities to monitor any crypto-related activity by terrorist groups, drug cartels, or hostile foreign regimes.

他补充说，中央情报局正在与相关当局紧密合作，以监视恐怖组织，毒品卡特尔或敌对的外国政权的任何与加密相关的活动。

Strategic Competition and Intelligence Tools

Positioning Bitcoin within a broader landscape of technological competition, especially with adversaries like China, Jayellis stated that the CIA is working to ensure the U.S. remains a global leader in the crypto sphere and uses blockchain intelligence tools to both monitor adversaries and gather critical data.

在更广泛的技术竞争环境中，尤其是在像中国这样的对手中，将比特币定位在更广泛的景观中，杰伊利斯表示，中央情报局正在努力确保美国仍然是加密货币领域的全球领导者，并使用区块链情报工具来监视对手并收集关键数据。

“We’re trying to make sure that the U.S. remains competitive in that technological landscape and that we’re able to use that technology to collect intelligence on foreign powers and to disrupt their activity,” he said.

他说：“我们正在努力确保美国在该技术领域保持竞争力，并且我们能够利用该技术来收集外国大国的情报并破坏其活动。”

Jayellis highlighted that cryptocurrency presents a two-fold benefit: it can be leveraged for intelligence gathering and used to disrupt illicit financial networks.

杰伊利斯（Jayellis）强调，加密货币为情报收集提供了两个方面的好处：它可以利用它来破坏非法财务网络。

“Bitcoin is here to stay,” he remarked, noting the growing institutional adoption, which he said is a positive trend that began with the Trump administration.

他说：“比特币将留在这里。

Cryptocurrency and National Security Priorities

Jayellis also linked the CIA’s focus on crypto to a broader national agenda: the dismantling of international cartels. He said the agency was fully aligned with President Trump’s directive to eliminate cartel threats and that crypto intelligence would play a role in achieving that goal.

Jayellis还将中央情报局对加密货币的关注与更广泛的国家议程联系起来：拆除国际卡特尔。他说，该机构完全与特朗普总统取消卡特尔威胁的指示完全保持一致，而加密情报将在实现这一目标中发挥作用。

Describing cartel activity as a global threat in the same vein as terrorism, Jayellis called for a unified government effort to close any gaps between intelligence and law enforcement.

杰伊利斯（Jayellis）将卡特尔活动描述为与恐怖主义相同的全球威胁，呼吁政府努力弥合情报与执法部门之间的任何差距。

He concluded by summarizing the CIA’s approach: “We’re going to use digital assets, we’re going to use blockchain surveillance to try and help disrupt those cartels and return the illicit proceeds.”

他总结了中央情报局的方法来总结：“我们将使用数字资产，我们将使用区块链监视来尝试破坏这些卡特尔并返回非法收益。”
