比特幣儲備法案在蒙大拿州被擊敗

蒙大拿州的立法機關駁回了眾議院第429號法案，試圖授權國家對比特幣，穩定金屬和貴金屬的投資。

Montana lawmakers have rejected a bill that would have authorized the state to invest in Bitcoin, stablecoins, and precious metals.

蒙大拿州議員拒絕了一項法案，該法案將授權該州投資比特幣，穩定金屬和貴金屬。

The bill, House Bill 429, was voted down 41-59 on Monday.

該法案，眾議院第429號法案，週一以41-59投票。

Lawmakers who opposed the bill said they were concerned about the potential risks of using taxpayers’ funds to make investments in risky assets.

反對該法案的立法者說，他們擔心使用納稅人資金對風險資產進行投資的潛在風險。

"We have a responsibility to make sure that we get the maximum return on the taxpayers’ dollar, rather than letting it sit," Demming said. "This bill would allow us to do just that."

德明說：“我們有責任確保我們獲得納稅人的美元的最大回報，而不是讓它坐下。” “該法案將使我們能夠做到這一點。”

Fitzpatrick also supported the bill, saying the state had excess funds that could be put to better use.

菲茨帕特里克（Fitzpatrick）還支持該法案，稱該州的資金超額資金可以更好地利用。

"We have a surplus of funds that we can utilize to better serve the people of Montana," Fitzpatrick said.

菲茨帕特里克說：“我們有一大批資金可以用來更好地為蒙大拿州人民服務。”

But other lawmakers, like Representative Steven Kelly, argued that protecting public funds from excessive risk was the priority.

但是，像代表史蒂文·凱利（Steven Kelly）這樣的其他立法者認為，保護公共資金免受過度風險是優先事項。

"We have to protect the taxpayers’ dollars from any undue risk," Kelly said.

凱利說：“我們必須保護納稅人的美元免受任何不當風險。”

Critics of the bill also said that Bitcoin and other virtual currencies were too risky for state reserves.

該法案的批評者還說，比特幣和其他虛擬貨幣對於國家儲備而言太冒險了。

"I think it's a foolhardy way to think about taxpayer dollars," said Representative Jessica Karjala.

代表傑西卡·卡哈拉（Jessica Karjala）說：“我認為這是考慮納稅人美元的一種愚蠢方式。”

Lawmakers also proposed an alternative amendment to the bill that would have authorized the state to use interest from the American Rescue Plan Act to finance the bill.

議員們還提出了對該法案的替代修正案，該修正案將授權該州利用《美國救援計劃法》中的利息為該法案提供資金。

But the amendment also failed to secure enough votes.

但是該修正案也未能獲得足夠的選票。

The bill was largely divided on party lines, with the majority of Republicans voting in favor of it and all Democrats voting against it.

該法案在很大程度上在黨派分歧，大多數共和黨人投票支持該法案，所有民主黨人都投票反對。

Montana is now part of a growing number of states that have rejected identical cryptocurrency reserve bills, including Wyoming, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania.

蒙大拿州現在是越來越多的州的一部分，這些州拒絕了相同的加密貨幣預備賬單，包括懷俄明州，北達科他州和賓夕法尼亞州。

However, 19 other U.S. states are still waiting to review the crypto-related laws, with Arizona and Utah ahead of the curve as their respective bills move through Senate debates.

但是，其他19個州仍在等待審查與加密相關的法律，隨著他們各自的法案在參議院的辯論中進行，亞利桑那州和猶他州領先於曲線。

Montana's failed bill serves as a testament to the current debate across the nation on whether government investment plans ought to include space for digital assets.

蒙大拿州的失敗法案證明了全國當前關於政府投資計劃是否應該包括數字資產空間的辯論。

While Montana's ruling effectively puts HB 429 on the back burner, the issue of Bitcoin reserves is far from going away. Legislators who favor digital currency investments will likely introduce similar legislation during subsequent sessions. For the present, Montana's dismissal indicates that volatility and regulatory concerns still have positives in the views of many state leaders.

儘管蒙大拿州的裁決有效地將HB 429放在了後燃燒器上，但比特幣儲備的問題遠未消失。支持數字貨幣投資的立法者可能會在隨後的會議期間引入類似的立法。目前，蒙大拿州的解僱表明，波動和監管問題仍然對許多州領導人的看法仍然有利。
