Christian Lindner 呼籲緊急進行比特幣政策改革，以使德國在全球加密貨幣格局中保持競爭地位

12月16日，德國前財政部長克里斯蒂安·林德納（自由民主黨－FDP）在聯邦議院發表講話，提出嚴厲批評

Former German Finance Minister Christian Lindner (Free Democratic Party – FDP) has called for urgent crypto regulation reforms in an address to the Bundestag on December 16.

德國前財政部長 Christian Lindner（自由民主黨 - FDP）在 12 月 16 日向聯邦議院發表講話時呼籲緊急進行加密貨幣監管改革。

Lindner, who served in the outgoing administration under Chancellor Olaf Scholz, highlighted the government's inaction in capitalizing on BTC's potential during his speech.

林德納曾在即將卸任的總理奧拉夫·肖爾茨 (Olaf Scholz) 領導下的政府任職，他在演講中強調了政府在利用 BTC 潛力方面的不作為。

“I have not heard from the Federal Chancellor, the Minister of Economics or the leader of the opposition that a new crypto-friendly policy is now being implemented in the United States,” Lindner stated.

林德納表示：“我沒有從聯邦總理、經濟部長或反對黨領袖那裡聽說美國正在實施新的加密貨幣友好政策。”

He further elaborated on the competitive disadvantage Germany faces, adding, “The US will use the advantages that we could also have with Bitcoin. I hear nothing about this in a central debate in the German Bundestag. What an omission, what opportunities are being lost to us.”

他進一步闡述了德國面臨的競爭劣勢，並補充說：「美國將利用我們在比特幣方面也可以擁有的優勢。我在德國聯邦議院的一場核心辯論中沒有聽到任何有關此事的消息。這是多麼大的疏忽，我們失去了多麼好的機會。

The remarks come as Chancellor Scholz faced a vote of confidence following Lindner's refusal to endorse the outgoing government's policies.

此番言論發表之際，林德納拒絕支持即將卸任政府的政策，導致德國財政大臣肖爾茨面臨信任投票。

During the proceedings, speeches by Scholz, Minister of Economics Robert Habeck and opposition leader Friedrich Merz notably omitted any reference to Bitcoin or the crypto sector.

在會議過程中，肖爾茨、經濟部長羅伯特·哈貝克和反對派領袖弗里德里希·梅爾茨的演講明顯省略了對比特幣或加密貨幣行業的任何提及。

Meanwhile, the crypto industry is hoping for potential regulatory advancements in the United States with the election of Donald Trump.

同時，加密貨幣產業希望隨著唐納德·川普的當選，美國的監管可能會取得進展。

During his campaign, Trump proposed the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve and positioning the US as the “crypto capital of the planet.”

川普在競選期間提議建立比特幣戰略儲備，並將美國定位為「地球的加密貨幣之都」。

In contrast, German authorities executed an emergency sale of 50,000 BTC through the public prosecutor's office in Saxony during the summer.

相比之下，德國當局在夏季透過薩克森州檢察官辦公室緊急出售了 50,000 BTC。

The proceeds could have been approximately €2.3 billion higher.

收益可能會增加約 23 億歐元。

Within the FDP, Lindner's stance has garnered support from colleagues such as Frank Schäffler, who lauded Lindner's advocacy on X, stating, “Christian Lindner speaks out in favor of Bitcoin in the Bundestag. Germany must recognize the opportunities and not leave it to the USA alone. Finally!”

在自民黨內部，林德納的立場得到了 Frank Schäffler 等同事的支持，他讚揚了林德納對 X 的倡導，並表示：「克里斯蒂安·林德納在聯邦議院公開支持比特幣。德國必須認識到機遇，而不是把它留給美國。最後！

Already on December 13, Schäffler wrote via X: “Bundesbank and ECB should include Bitcoin in their currency reserves.”

早在 12 月 13 日，舍夫勒就透過 X 寫道：“德國央行和歐洲央行應該將比特幣納入其貨幣儲備中。”

The German crypto community has been actively discussing the implications of Lindner's statements, particularly in the context of the impending federal elections.

德國加密貨幣社群一直在積極討論 Lindner 聲明的影響，特別是在即將舉行的聯邦選舉的背景下。

With the FDP experiencing significant declines in the polls, some speculate that Lindner may be strategically using BTC as a focal point to regain political traction, drawing parallels to President-elect Trump's successful pro-Bitcoin rhetoric.

隨著自由民主黨在民調中的支持率大幅下降，一些人猜測林德納可能會策略性地利用比特幣作為焦點來重新獲得政治吸引力，這與當選總統川普成功的支持比特幣的言論相似。

However, not all reactions have been favorable. Noted German crypto expert Furkan Yildirim expressed skepticism on X, writing, “The man had almost 4 years as finance minister to have the necessary debates, and now that there’s a fire, he notices? Bitcoin doesn't need politicians. Politicians need Bitcoin.”

然而，並非所有反應都是有利的。著名的德國加密貨幣專家 Furkan Yildirim 對 X 表示懷疑，他寫道：「這個人擔任財政部長近 4 年，有必要進行必要的辯論，現在發生了火災，他注意到了嗎？比特幣不需要政客。政客需要比特幣。
