民主黨議員敦促美國財政部製止唐納德·特朗普總統制定政府控制的比特幣儲備金的計劃

一名民主黨議員敦促美國財政部製止唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統制定政府控制的比特幣保護區的計劃。

A Democrat lawmaker is urging the U.S. Treasury to halt President Donald Trump’s initiative to establish a government-controlled Bitcoin reserve.

一名民主黨議員敦促美國財政部停止唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統的倡議，以建立政府控制的比特幣儲備。

In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on March 13, Representative Gerald E. Connolly from Michigan expressed his vehement opposition to the plan, which he believes will benefit Trump and his supporters more than the American people.

在3月13日給財政部長斯科特·貝斯特（Scott Bessent）的信中，來自密歇根州的代表杰拉爾德·康諾利（Gerald E.

“I urge you to reconsider this ill-advised venture and instead focus the Treasury’s resources on matters of pressing national interest,” Connolly concluded his letter.

“我敦促您重新考慮這項不明智的冒險，而將財政部的資源集中在迫使國家利益的問題上，” Connolly總結說。

The lawmaker expressed a lack of understanding for the "advantage to the country" of creating a "cryptocurrency reserve," asserting that it could instead be "a financial windfall for President Trump and his donors."

這位議員表示缺乏對創建“加密貨幣儲備”的“對國家的優勢”的了解，他斷言這可能是“對於特朗普總統及其捐助者的金融意外之財”。

He further criticized the administration’s cryptocurrency selections as being influenced by social media trends rather than sound economic strategy.

他進一步批評政府的加密貨幣選擇受社交媒體趨勢的影響，而不是合理的經濟戰略。

"This administration's handling of cryptocurrency is a prime example of an unsound fiscal policy that will ultimately leave the American people worse off," Connolly wrote. "Indeed, the Federal Reserve reportedly dismissed the idea of a Bitcoin reserve as 'the dumbest idea ever.'"

康諾利寫道：“本屆政府對加密貨幣的處理是一項不合時宜的財政政策的一個典型例子，最終將使美國人民變得更糟。” “確實，據報導，美聯儲將比特幣儲備的想法視為'有史以來最愚蠢的想法。'”

Connolly highlighted the absence of any urgent need for the U.S. to hold a cryptocurrency reserve. He warned that using taxpayer money to invest in a highly volatile market carries significant risks.

Connolly強調了美國沒有任何迫切需要持有加密貨幣儲備。他警告說，使用納稅人資金投資於高度波動的市場會帶來很大的風險。

According to Connolly, the reserve would act as a financial safety net for Bitcoin investors in the event of a market crash, a role that he believes the Treasury should not be assuming.

根據康諾利（Connolly）的說法，在市場崩潰的情況下，該儲備金將充當比特幣投資者的財務安全網，他認為這一職務不應承擔。

However, the White House has defended the plan. Officials stated that the Digital Asset Stockpile would only include cryptocurrencies seized from criminal activities.

但是，白宮為該計劃辯護。官員們說，數字資產存儲只包括從犯罪活動中扣押的加密貨幣。

Moreover, the Bitcoin Reserve would acquire BTC using budget-neutral strategies, meaning it would not require taxpayer funding.

此外，比特幣儲備將使用預算中性策略獲得BTC，這意味著它不需要納稅人的資金。

Connolly also accused Trump of failing to consult Congress before moving forward with the plan. He raised concerns about a conflict of interest, pointing out that Trump's company, World Liberty Financial, is involved in cryptocurrency.

康諾利還指責特朗普在進行計劃之前未能諮詢國會。他提出了對利益衝突的擔憂，指出特朗普的公司世界自由金融涉及加密貨幣。

The lawmaker went on to criticize Trump's personal cryptocurrency token, the TRUMP memecoin, which he described as a "money grab." According to Connolly, Trump and his associates have earned over $100 million in trading fees from the token.

這位議員繼續批評特朗普的個人加密貨幣代幣，特朗普成員，他將其描述為“搶錢”。據康諾利（Connolly）稱，特朗普和他的同事從代幣中獲得了超過1億美元的交易費用。

"This would make it Trump's most lucrative get-rich scheme yet—at the expense of the American people and the stability of the financial system," Connolly stated.

康諾利說：“這將使這是特朗普最有利可圖的富裕計劃，這是在美國人民和金融體系的穩定上。”

Other Democrats, such as Representative Maxine Waters, have also expressed criticism of the token. Back in February, Waters called it an example of the "worst of crypto."

其他民主黨人，例如代表麥克辛·沃特斯（Maxine Waters），也表達了對代幣的批評。早在二月份，沃特斯稱其為“加密最糟糕”的一個例子。

Connolly has asked the Treasury to release documents related to the creation of the Bitcoin reserve. He also wants details about any companies the Treasury has financial interests in within the crypto industry.

康諾利（Connolly）要求財政部發布與比特幣儲備的創建有關的文件。他還希望有關財政部在加密行業內擁有財務利益的任何公司的詳細信息。

Additionally, Connolly inquired whether officials, including Elon Musk, have disclosed any financial ties to cryptocurrency investments.

此外，康諾利（Connolly）詢問了包括埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）在內的官員是否已經透露了與加密貨幣投資的任何財務聯繫。
