與IMF達成協議後

聖薩爾瓦多和總統納伊布·布克勒（Nayib Bukele）希望以14億美元的價格向國際貨幣基金組織貸款

El Salvador has scaled back its pro-Bitcoin laws following pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

在國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）的壓力下，埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）縮減了其親幣法律。

The country's congress passed legislation on a vote of 55-2 that modifies six articles of the Bitcoin law and repeals three others.

該國國會以55-2的投票通過了立法，修改了比特幣法的六章，並廢除了另外三項。

Bitcoin will remain legal tender in El Salvador, but it is no longer considered "currency," and its adoption is now optional.

比特幣將在薩爾瓦多保持法定貨幣，但不再被認為是“貨幣”，現在的採用是可選的。

Businesses can choose whether or not to accept Bitcoin, and the state will no longer accept it as a form of payment for taxes and debts.

企業可以選擇是否接受比特幣，國家將不再接受它作為稅收和債務的一種付款方式。

The government is also scaling back its investment in the Chivo Wallet, the state-backed crypto-wallet.

政府還將擴大其對國家支持的加密貨幣錢包的投資。

El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, with President Nayib Bukele pushing through the legislation as part of a broader plan to overhaul the country's economy.

埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）於2021年通過比特幣作為法定貨幣，而納伊布·布克爾（Nayib Bukele）總統推進了該立法，這是一項更廣泛的計劃的一部分，以改善該國的經濟。

Bukele has hyped up several grand projects, including a Bitcoin city to be built around a volcano and a plan to use geothermal energy from the volcano to mine cryptocurrency.

布克爾炒作了幾個宏偉的項目，其中包括圍繞火山建造的比特幣城市，以及一個利用火山的地熱能來開採加密貨幣的計劃。

The plan was to build the city in the shape of a physical Bitcoin, complete with laser-eyes and a light show.

計劃是按照物理比特幣的形狀建造城市，並配有激光眼和燈光秀。

The project, however, never materialized, and El Salvador's economy has struggled in recent years.

但是，該項目從未實現，埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）的經濟近年來一直在掙扎。

The country has now turned to the IMF for a $1.4 billion loan to help stabilize itself.

該國現在已將14億美元的貸款轉向國際貨幣基金組織，以幫助穩定自身。

The IMF has long been critical of El Salvador's Bitcoin law.

長期以來，國際貨幣基金組織一直批評薩爾瓦多的比特幣法。

"There are large risks associated with using Bitcoin as legal tender, especially given the high volatility of its price. We don't recommend it. In the short-term, the costs and risks largely outweigh the benefits," the IMF said in a 2022 statement on El Salvador's economy.

國際貨幣基金組織在一家中說：“使用比特幣作為法定貨幣，尤其是考慮到其價格的高波動性。我們不建議這樣做。在短期內，成本和風險在很大程度上超過了收益。 ” 2022年關於薩爾瓦多經濟的聲明。

Bukele's allies in congress, however, insist that El Salvador is still a Bitcoin-friendly country.

但是，布克利在國會中的盟友堅持認為，薩爾瓦多仍然是一個對比特幣友好的國家。

"This is not a setback for Bitcoin. El Salvador is still the freest country in Latin America when it comes to Bitcoin," said Christian Guevara, a Bukele ally and lawmaker.

Bukele Ally及其議員克里斯蒂安·古瓦拉（Christian Guevara）表示：“這不是比特幣的挫折。薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）仍然是拉丁美洲最自由的國家。

Despite the government's efforts, however, the push to adopt cryptocurrency has been a flop among normal people.

然而，儘管政府的努力，採用加密貨幣的努力一直是普通人中的失敗。

Less than 12% of the country has used Bitcoin, and Bukele himself admitted that it "has not had the widespread adoption we hoped" in an interview with TIME.

該國不到12％的人使用了比特幣，而伯克利本人則承認，在隨著時間的推移採訪中，它“沒有我們希望的廣泛收養”。

Bukele told the magazine that the Bitcoin push built the country's brand and made people think of things other than violence and prison when they thought of El Salvador.

布克勒告訴雜誌，比特幣推動了該國的品牌，並在想到埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）時想到了暴力和監獄以外的事物。

But violence and prison are back in the news following Bukele's meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

但是，在布克利與美國國務卿馬可·盧比奧（Marco Rubio）會面後，暴力和監獄又回到了新聞中。

El Salvador is famous for its massive supermax prisons, which house tens of thousands of prisoners in horrifying conditions.

埃爾·薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）以其巨大的超級瑪克斯監獄而聞名，該監獄在恐怖的條件下容納成千上萬的囚犯。

Bukele and Rubio met over the weekend, and the El Salvadorian president offered up prison space to America.

布克利和盧比奧在周末見面，薩爾瓦多總統向美國提供了監獄空間。

The U.S. could, he said, put anyone they want inside his concrete nightmares, including American citizens.

他說，美國可以將想要的任何人放在包括美國公民在內的具體噩夢中。

Ruibo and the Trump administration are shopping around for places to house people the country is deporting as part of its immigration crackdown.

魯波（Ruibo）和特朗普政府（Trump Administration）正在四處尋找容納該國的人的地方，作為其移民鎮壓的一部分。

Rubio and the White House have said there are no plans to deport and house American citizens in foreign prisons.

盧比奧和白宮表示，沒有計劃將美國公民驅逐出國監獄。

But the offer is on the table. In El Salvador, Bitcoin is out of fashion and prisons are very much in.

但是報價在桌上。在薩爾瓦多（El Salvador），比特幣過時，監獄非常重要。
