比特幣人類採用貿易保護主義政策，令人驚訝的早期採用者

比特幣資深人士埃里克·沃希斯（Erik Voorhees）正在嘲笑他沒有看到的趨勢。在X週日早些時候的帖子中

Bitcoin veteran Erik Voorhees is scratching his head over a trend he didn’t see coming. In a post on X early Sunday, he said, “I would not have predicted a bunch of Bitcoiners becoming protectionists because a politician told them it would help the economy.”

Voorhees’ comment was sparked by a growing number of Bitcoin supporters seemingly embracing tariffs and protectionist policies—something that clashes with the libertarian roots of Bitcoin. As several commenters pointed out, this shift seems to be linked to an interest in a specific politician's plans.

Voorhees的評論是由越來越多的比特幣支持者似乎包含關稅和貿易保護主義政策引發的，這與比特幣的自由主義者根源發生了衝突。正如一些評論者指出的那樣，這種轉變似乎與對特定政治家計劃的興趣有關。

Ari Paul, founder of BlockTower Capital, chimed in to say it fits a broader pattern and that it’s "like watching half the libertarian party outright embrace fascism in a span of a few days." He says that a "large percentage of libertarians" is onverging on a "novel legal argument they'd never heard before, en masse, in a span of one week, to promote an infinitely powerful chief executive."

Blocktower Capital的創始人阿里·保羅（Ari Paul）說，它適合一種更廣泛的模式，並且“就像在幾天之內觀看一半的自由黨在一半的自由主義黨中徹底擁抱法西斯主義。”他說，“很大一部分的自由主義者”正在對“他們以前從未聽說過的新穎法律論據，在一周的時間內，以促進無限強大的首席執行官。”

Others were more blunt. "Bitcoiners 10 years ago: Destroy the state. Bitcoiners today: Trump said something, I j*zzed my pants."

其他人更直率。 “比特幣十年前：摧毀國家。今天的比特幣人：特朗普說了些什麼，我j*z z z褲子。”

Some argued these people aren't really Bitcoiners at all: "The libertarian dream died for us in 2017. It's mostly just bubble chasing hypebeasts left trying to make a quick buck."

一些人認為這些人並不是真正的比特幣機：“自由主義者的夢想在2017年為我們喪生。這主要只是在追逐炒作的泡沫試圖快速賺錢。”

One commenter added, "It was obvious when their main goal politically was to get the government to buy more bitcoin instead of protecting developers from being jailed or self custody."

一位評論者補充說：“很明顯，他們的主要目標是讓政府購買更多比特幣，而不是保護開發商免於被判入獄或自我監護。”

The broader takeaway from the thread is that Bitcoin's ideological base might be cracking under the weight of political influence and market speculation. One user sarcastically noted how "don't trust, verify" has turned into "trust the tariff guy, he's got a plan."

該線程的更廣泛的收穫是，比特幣的意識形態基礎可能在政治影響力和市場投機的重量下破裂。一位用戶諷刺地指出，“不信任，驗證”如何變成“信任關稅傢伙，他有一個計劃”。

Even some long-time observers expressed shock. "Did not have bitcoiners cheering for tariffs to make the Fed print money on my bingo card."

即使是一些長期觀察者也表示震驚。 “沒有比特幣的比特幣要為您的賓果卡上的徵收關稅加油。”

Still, a few voices tried to rationalize the shift. One argument went, "Better to use tariffs than raise income taxes. At least that way foreigners will end up subsidizing part of the pain."

儘管如此，一些聲音還是試圖合理化這一轉變。一個論點說：“使用關稅比提高所得稅更好。至少這樣，外國人最終會補貼部分痛苦。”

But that didn't sit well with many in the crypto space, who feel the community is losing sight of what it originally stood for. As one commenter put it, "The whole point was always about borderless, free market exchange."

但這與加密貨幣空間中的許多人相處並不理想，他們覺得社區正在忽視其最初的代表。正如一位評論者所說，“重點總是關於無邊界的自由市場交流。”

Later in the thread, Voorhees added that perhaps the shift in thinking is due to people being "sued by the government for using Bitcoin" or having their "bank accounts closed because they prefer BTC to fiat." He speculates that this might lead to a shift in political priorities, ultimately resulting in the government buying Bitcoin to save the union.

Voorhees在稍後的話題中補充說，思維的轉變可能是由於人們“被政府起訴使用比特幣”或使他們的“銀行帳戶都關閉，因為他們更喜歡BTC而不是FIAT”。他推測，這可能導致政治優先事項的轉變，最終導致政府購買比特幣以拯救聯盟。

However, others suggested this shift isn't about policy at all, but about blind loyalty to political figures. "Cults of personality are often underestimated by the people who are outside of those targeted."

但是，其他人認為這種轉變根本不是關於政策的，而是關於對政治人物的盲目忠誠。 “人格崇拜常常被目標人群以外的人低估。”

In the end, Voorhees' surprise seems to reflect a broader disillusionment among early adopters. Bitcoin was born out of a desire for decentralization and freedom from government interference. Now, even some of its loudest supporters are calling for state action, as long as it benefits them.

最後，Voorhees的驚喜似乎反映了早期採用者的更廣泛的幻滅。比特幣是出於對權力下放和免於政府乾預的自由的渴望而誕生的。現在，即使是最大的支持者也呼籲國家行動，只要它使他們受益。
