Coinbase 執行長 Brian Armstrong 加入批評美國政府出售比特幣持股的行列

Coinbase COIN 執行長 Brian Armstrong 週二強烈反對美國政府出售其持有的比特幣 (BTC/USD)，加入了政府大量購買加密貨幣引發的批評行列。

Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong voiced strong opposition on Tuesday to the U.S. government selling its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) holdings.

Coinbase（納斯達克股票代碼：COIN）執行長布萊恩·阿姆斯壯（Brian Armstrong）週二強烈反對美國政府出售其持有的比特幣（CRYPTO：BTC）。

Armstrong joined a chorus of critics slamming government movements of large quantities of the cryptocurrency.

阿姆斯壯加入了批評者的行列，猛烈抨擊政府大量使用加密貨幣的行為。

The debate intensified after 19,800 Bitcoin, valued at $1.9 billion, was transferred to a Coinbase Prime deposit address on Dec. 2.

12 月 2 日，價值 19 億美元的 19,800 比特幣被轉移到 Coinbase Prime 存款地址後，爭論變得更加激烈。

"This is a huge strategic mistake. There is no price where it makes sense for the U.S. to sell any Bitcoin it has under its control," tweeted Jason Lowery, a U.S. Space Force major and author of Softwar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin.

美國太空部隊少校、《軟體戰爭：關於力量投射的新穎理論》一書的作者傑森·洛厄裡（Jason Lowery）在推特上寫道：「這是一個巨大的戰略錯誤。美國出售其控制下的任何比特幣都沒有任何合理的價格。

Armstrong echoed Lowery’s sentiment, stating, "Agreed – the U.S. government should never sell Bitcoin IMO."

阿姆斯壯回應了洛厄裡的觀點，表示：“同意——在我看來，美國政府永遠不應該出售比特幣。”

Lowery argued that the government lacks understanding of Bitcoin’s strategic value, likening the potential sale to shortsighted policies of the past.

洛厄裡認為，政府缺乏對比特幣戰略價值的了解，將潛在的出售比作過去短視的政策。

He warned that the U.S. may later attempt to reclaim Bitcoin sold off due to ignorance of its importance.

他警告說，美國稍後可能會試圖收回因忽視比特幣重要性而被拋售的比特幣。

Referencing Executive Order 6102, a 1933 directive that forbade hoarding gold, Lowery suggested future policies might aim to reacquire Bitcoin in a similar fashion.

Lowery 參考 1933 年禁止囤積黃金的第 6102 號行政命令，建議未來的政策可能旨在以類似的方式重新獲得比特幣。

Criticism of the government’s actions extended beyond Armstrong and Lowery. Crypto educator Toby Cunningham labeled the potential sale as “dumb,” asserting that the supply would be instantly absorbed by the market.

對政府行動的批評不僅限於阿姆斯壯和洛厄裡。加密貨幣教育家 Toby Cunningham 將潛在的出售稱為“愚蠢的”，並聲稱供應將立即被市場吸收。

Meanwhile, Tether (CRYPTO: USDT) strategy adviser Gabor Gurbacs speculated the transfers could be routine custody updates rather than sales, noting, "There is also a lot we don't know. It's not guaranteed they will sell. I haven't seen any official auction information yet."

同時，Tether (CRYPTO: USDT) 策略顧問Gabor Gurbacs 推測，這些轉移可能是例行的託管更新，而不是銷售，並指出，「還有很多我們不知道的事情。不能保證他們會出售。我還沒有看到尚未有任何官方拍賣信息。

While the government has moved 25,999 Bitcoin worth approximately $2.49 billion to Coinbase this year, analytics platforms suggest not all these transfers are intended for sale.

雖然政府今年已將價值約 24.9 億美元的 25,999 比特幣轉移到 Coinbase，但分析平台表明並非所有這些轉移都打算出售。

Spot On Chain indicated some movements could involve consolidating wallets or upgrading security for older addresses.

Spot On Chain 表示，一些行動可能涉及整合錢包或升級舊地址的安全性。

CryptoQuant’s head of research, Julio Moreno, noted it was "highly likely" only 10,000 Bitcoin were sold in the latest transactions, with the remaining 9,800 BTC transferred to a newly created wallet.

CryptoQuant 的研究主管 Julio Moreno 指出，在最近的交易中「極有可能」只售出了 10,000 比特幣，其餘 9,800 比特幣轉移到了新創建的錢包中。

Currently, the U.S. government holds approximately 183,850 BTC valued at $17.7 billion across various addresses.

目前，美國政府在各個地址持有約 183,850 個 BTC，價值 177 億美元。

“The U.S. should recognize the significance of this technology before making irreversible mistakes,” Armstrong said.

阿姆斯壯表示：“美國應該在犯下不可逆轉的錯誤之前認識到這項技術的重要性。”
