Defeating the Regulators with Freddie New

与 Freddie New 一起击败监管机构

Introduction

介绍

The regulatory landscape for Bitcoin is constantly evolving, with governments around the world grappling with how to approach this transformative technology. In the United Kingdom, Bitcoin has faced a barrage of proposed legislation that has often backfired, galvanizing support for the digital currency.

比特币的监管环境在不断发展，世界各国政府都在努力解决如何采用这一变革性技术。在英国，比特币面临着一系列拟议的立法，这些立法往往适得其反，激发了人们对数字货币的支持。

To delve into this complex and rapidly changing regulatory environment, The What Bitcoin Did Podcast recently sat down with Freddie New, Head of Policy at Bitcoin Policy UK. Freddie's deep knowledge of the UK regulatory landscape and his unwavering advocacy for Bitcoin provide invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the industry.

为了深入探讨这个复杂且快速变化的监管环境，《比特币做了什么》播客最近采访了英国比特币政策政策主管 Freddie New。弗雷迪对英国监管环境的深入了解以及他对比特币坚定不移的倡导为该行业面临的挑战和机遇提供了宝贵的见解。

The Futility of Friction

摩擦是徒劳的

One of the key criticisms Freddie levels against current regulatory proposals is their focus on creating friction in the Bitcoin market. These measures, such as know-your-customer (KYC) requirements, transaction limits, and bans on certain services, are designed to deter or even prohibit Bitcoin adoption. However, as Freddie points out, these frictions are ultimately futile.

弗雷迪对当前监管提案的主要批评之一是它们专注于在比特币市场上制造摩擦。这些措施，例如了解你的客户（KYC）要求、交易限制和某些服务的禁令，旨在阻止甚至禁止比特币的采用。然而，正如弗雷迪指出的那样，这些摩擦最终是徒劳的。

"If you care about customer harm, you wouldn't put these frictions in place because I can go and buy Bitcoin right now from whoever the hell I want using a VPN, and you can't stop me," Freddie argues. "These frictions only make it more inconvenient for legitimate businesses and consumers to transact, while doing nothing to prevent illicit activity."

“如果你关心客户受到伤害，你就不会造成这些摩擦，因为我现在可以使用 VPN 从任何我想要的人那里购买比特币，而你无法阻止我，”Freddie 辩称。 “这些摩擦只会让合法企业和消费者的交易变得更加不方便，同时却没有采取任何措施来阻止非法活动。”

Changing Minds on Bitcoin

改变对比特币的看法

The challenge of changing negative perceptions of Bitcoin among policymakers and the general public is a formidable one. To address this challenge, Bitcoin advocates need to engage with these stakeholders, educate them on the benefits of Bitcoin, and dispel common misconceptions.

改变政策制定者和公众对比特币的负面看法是一项艰巨的挑战。为了应对这一挑战，比特币倡导者需要与这些利益相关者接触，教育他们了解比特币的好处，并消除常见的误解。

Freddie emphasizes the importance of focusing on the positive aspects of Bitcoin, such as its potential to promote financial inclusion, foster innovation, and provide an alternative to inflationary fiat currencies. "We need to show people that Bitcoin is not just some speculative asset but a tool that can improve their lives," Freddie says.

弗雷迪强调关注比特币积极方面的重要性，例如其促进金融包容性、促进创新以及提供通胀法定货币替代品的潜力。弗雷迪说：“我们需要向人们表明，比特币不仅仅是一种投机资产，而且是一种可以改善他们生活的工具。”

UK Bitcoin Allies

英国比特币盟友

Freddie acknowledges that the UK regulatory landscape is not without its challenges, but he points to several allies within the government who are supportive of Bitcoin. Conservative MP Steve Baker, for example, has been a vocal advocate for the digital currency, recognizing its potential to promote economic growth and freedom.

弗雷迪承认，英国的监管环境并非没有挑战，但他指出了政府内部支持比特币的几个盟友。例如，保守党议员史蒂夫·贝克（Steve Baker）一直是数字货币的直言不讳的倡导者，认识到其促进经济增长和自由的潜力。

In addition to political allies, Bitcoin also has a growing number of supporters within the UK financial industry. The City of London Corporation, which oversees the financial district, has expressed support for Bitcoin and has called on the government to adopt a more positive regulatory approach.

除了政治盟友之外，比特币在英国金融行业内也拥有越来越多的支持者。负责监管金融区的伦敦金融城公司已表达了对比特币的支持，并呼吁政府采取更积极的监管方式。

How We Win

To defeat the regulators and secure a bright future for Bitcoin in the UK, Freddie believes that the industry needs to unite and focus on three key strategies:

The regulatory battle for Bitcoin is far from over, but Freddie is optimistic about the future. He believes that the growing adoption of Bitcoin and the increasing awareness of its benefits will ultimately force regulators to change their approach.

比特币的监管之争还远未结束，但弗雷迪对未来持乐观态度。他认为，比特币的日益普及以及对其好处的日益认识将最终迫使监管机构改变其做法。

"We are on the right side of history," Freddie says. "Bitcoin is a force for good, and it is unstoppable. We need to continue to fight for Bitcoin, and we will win."

“我们站在历史正确的一边，”弗雷迪说。 “比特币是一股正义的力量，它是不可阻挡的。我们需要继续为比特币而战，我们一定会赢。”
