唐納德·特朗普向加密行業示好，承諾讓美國成為“比特幣超級大國”

據了解該行業的觀察人士稱，唐納德·川普不太可能實現他的競選承諾，即所有剩餘的比特幣都將在美國製造。

Former President Donald Trump's campaign pledge to have all remaining Bitcoin made in the U.S. is unlikely to come to fruition, according to industry observers.

產業觀察家表示，前總統川普在競選時承諾所有剩餘的比特幣都在美國生產，這項承諾不太可能實現。

“It is a Trump-like comment but it is definitely not in reality,” Ethan Vera, chief operating officer at Seattle-based Luxor Technology, which provides software and service to cryptocurrency miners, told Bloomberg News.

「這是川普式的評論，但絕對不是現實，」總部位於西雅圖的Luxor Technology 首席營運官伊森·維拉(Ethan Vera) 告訴彭博新聞社，該公司為加密貨幣礦工提供軟體和服務。

Vera added that while Trump may be able to influence some aspects of crypto mining in the U.S., such as favorable regulation and energy prices, it would be difficult for him to change the overall distribution of mining operations, which are spread across the world.

維拉補充說，雖然川普可能能夠影響美國加密貨幣挖礦的某些方面，例如有利的監管和能源價格，但他很難改變遍布全球的挖礦業務的整體分佈。

“The U.S. has less than half of all crypto mining,” the Energy Information Administration told the outlet.

「美國的加密貨幣開採量還不到一半，」能源資訊署告訴媒體。

Vera also noted that a trade war with China, like the one Trump is proposing, would further increase costs in the U.S., as most miners use Chinese-made computers.

維拉也指出，與中國的貿易戰，就像川普提議的那樣，將進一步增加美國的成本，因為大多數礦商使用中國製造的電腦。

Despite the challenges, the Trump campaign courted the crypto industry throughout his 2024 campaign, promising to make the U.S. a “Bitcoin superpower,” with the government buying a strategic reserve of cryptocurrency.

儘管面臨挑戰，川普競選團隊在 2024 年競選期間仍向加密行業示好，承諾讓美國成為“比特幣超級大國”，政府購買加密貨幣戰略儲備。

Trump also promised to remove Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, who is viewed as an opponent within the industry, and even unveiled a crypto venture of his own in September.

川普也承諾罷免被視為業內反對者的美國證券交易委員會主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler)，甚至在 9 月推出了自己的加密貨幣企業。

The industry, in turn, has handsomely rewarded the Trump campaign.

反過來，該行業也為川普競選活動提供了豐厚的回報。

It contributed over $200 million to Trump and his allies, with donations from firms involved in crypto including Ripple, Coinbase, and venture capital powerhouse Andreessen Horowiz.

它向川普及其盟友捐贈了超過 2 億美元，其中包括 Ripple、Coinbase 和創投巨頭 Andreessen Horowiz 等加密貨幣公司的捐款。

In December, Bitcoin hit a record high price, in part because of optimism over the incoming administration.

去年 12 月，比特幣價格創下歷史新高，部分原因是對即將上任的政府樂觀。

Crypto exchanges Coinbase and Kraken have also donated $1 million to the Trump inaugural committee.

加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 和 Kraken 也向川普就職委員會捐贈了 100 萬美元。

They join inauguration donors, including Amazon and Meta, as the tech industry seeks to build close relationships with the new White House.

隨著科技業尋求與新白宮建立密切關係，他們加入了包括亞馬遜和 Meta 在內的就職捐贈者行列。

As The Independent has reported, the 2024 campaign marked a sea change in tech politics, in which many top figures in the industry, including Elon Musk, left behind their traditional Democratic allies and supported Republicans.

正如《獨立報》報道的那樣，2024 年的競選標誌著科技政治的巨大變化，包括伊隆馬斯克在內的許多行業頂級人物都拋棄了傳統的民主黨盟友，轉而支持共和黨。
