El Salvador刪除了比特幣的法定招標身份，這是對Bukele加密省的野心的打擊

比特幣從未被大多數薩爾瓦多人使用，它的現代城市從未建造過，現在它將不再在薩爾瓦多（El Salvador）進行法定招標

El Salvador’s Congress approved a confusing reform to the Bitcoin Law on Wednesday, at the request of the Bukele government, which had no other option to receive the $1.4 billion credit agreed in December with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

埃爾薩爾瓦多國會在周三應布克勒政府的要求批准了對比特幣法的混亂改革，該法律沒有其他選擇可以在12月與國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）達成協議的14億美元信貸。

The reform eliminates the word “currency” when referring to bitcoin, but says it is “legal tender.” Despite the lack of clarity, it lifts, as required by the IMF, the obligation to accept it in transactions or debt payments, a key condition for it to be “legal tender,” according to economic analysts.

該改革在指比特幣時消除了“貨幣”一詞，但說這是“法定貨幣”。經濟分析師表示，儘管缺乏清晰度，但它仍按照國際貨幣基金組織的要求提高了接受交易或債務付款的義務，這是它是“法定貨幣”的關鍵條件。

With the change, “if someone owes you money and wants to pay you in bitcoin, you can refuse to be paid in bitcoin, but you cannot refuse if it’s legal tender,” economist Carlos Acevedo explained.

隨著變化，“如果有人欠您的錢，想用比特幣付款，您可以拒絕用比特幣付款，但是如果法定招標是法定招標，您將無法拒絕。”

The use of bitcoin in El Salvador’s dollarized economy, according to the new rule, will be optional and will be at the discretion of the private sector to accept cryptocurrency payments for goods and services.

根據新規則，在薩爾瓦多的美元經濟中使用比特幣將是可選的，並將由私營部門酌情接受以接受商品和服務的加密貨幣支付。

Businesses are no longer required to convert dollar prices into this cryptocurrency.

不再需要企業將美元價格轉換為這種加密貨幣。

“Bitcoin no longer has that force of legal tender. That’s how it should have always remained, but the government wanted to force it and it didn’t work,” economist Rafael Lemus said.

“比特幣不再具有法定招標的力量。經濟學家拉斐爾·萊姆斯（Rafael Lemus）說：“這就是應該一直保持的方式，但政府想強迫它。”經濟學家Rafael Lemus說。

The Bitcoin Law reform will take effect 90 days after it’s published in the Official Gazette, which could happen in the coming days.

比特幣法律改革將在官方憲報上發表後90天生效，這可能會在未來幾天發生。

For Acevedo, former president of the former Central Bank, “it makes no sense” to have left in the reformed law that it is “legal tender.”

對於前中央銀行前總統阿塞維多（Acevedo）來說，在改革法律中留下“法定招標”的“毫無意義”。

“It’s a monstrosity that’s not understood and that should be corrected and made clear that bitcoin is no longer legal tender,” the economist argues.

這位經濟學家認為：“這是一種怪獸，不理解，應該糾正並明確表明比特幣不再是合法招標。”

But even being so, Salvadorans, with the exception of a few, never embraced Bukele’s initiative, who enjoys enormous popularity for his war against gangs, which dropped homicides to historic lows in El Salvador.

但是，即使如此，薩爾瓦多人，除了少數人外，從未接受過伯克利的倡議，他們因對陣幫派的戰爭而受到巨大歡迎，後者將兇殺案丟給了薩爾瓦多的歷史性低點。

A recent survey by the Central American University (UCA) revealed that 92% of Salvadorans did not use bitcoin in their transactions in 2024.

中美洲大學（UCA）最近進行的一項調查顯示，2024年，有92％的薩爾瓦多人在交易中沒有使用比特幣。

“I used it and didn’t like it… Very complicated and risky. This is not for an employee who barely gets by on their salary,” Juana Henríquez, a 55-year-old nurse, said, saying she had tried to make some profit and instead lost money.

“我使用了它，不喜歡它……非常複雜和風險。這不適合幾乎沒有薪水的僱員。

Bukele also failed to achieve his project, which he announced with fireworks, to create Bitcoin City, a high-tech city that would be the capital of bitcoiners in the country and would take energy for mining from a volcano in Conchagua, about 200 km from Salvador.

布克勒還未能實現自己的項目，他在煙火中宣布了該項目，以創建比特幣城市，這是一個高科技城市，將成為該國的比特幣的首都，並將從Conchagua的一座火山挖礦，距離約200公里薩爾瓦多。

Berlin, a city 110 km east of San Salvador, and El Zonte beach (southwest) are two areas that concentrate bitcoiners, but many are foreign residents or tourists.

柏林是聖薩爾瓦多以東110公里的城市，西南地區的埃爾·佐特海灘（El Zonte Beach）是兩個集中比特幣的地區，但許多地區是外國居民或遊客。

Bitcoin’s biggest promoter in the country, Bukele, has not yet referred to the legal reform.

比特幣在該國最大的發起人布克利尚未提及法律改革。

But officials ensure that the government will continue betting on this cryptocurrency, whose price currently exceeds $100,000.

但是官員們確保政府將繼續押注這種加密貨幣，該加密貨幣目前超過100,000美元。

El Salvador’s ambassador to the United States, Milena Mayorga, told journalists Thursday, during a bitcoin event in San Salvador, that the law reforms should be seen as an adaptation “to the circumstances.”

薩爾瓦多駐美國大使米爾娜·梅奧爾加（Milena Mayorga）週四在聖薩爾瓦多的一場比特幣活動中對記者說，法律改革應被視為“對情況”的適應。

The government, she assured, will continue buying bitcoin and having reserves in this cryptocurrency.

她保證，政府將繼續購買比特幣並在這種加密貨幣中儲備。

According to the National Bitcoin Office, El Salvador has 6,050 bitcoins worth $634.8 million.

根據國家比特幣辦公室的數據，埃爾·薩爾瓦多擁有6,050個比特幣，價值6.348億美元。

“President Bukele continues buying bitcoin, we have a Bitcoin Office, we have the Bitcoin Law, bitcoin can be used in El Salvador. It hasn’t been an easy road,” Mayorga summarized.

“布克利總統繼續購買比特幣，我們有一個比特幣辦公室，我們有比特幣法，可以在薩爾瓦多使用比特幣。這並不是一條容易的道路。” Mayorga總結道。

For Lemus, because “the government has its bitcoin reserve and will buy more” it is necessary “to have transparency, for citizens to know how public funds are being invested.”

對於Lemus來說，因為“政府擁有其比特幣儲備並將購買更多”，因此必須“具有透明度，讓公民知道如何投資公共資金”。

Bukele recently said he is convinced that with Donald Trump – whom he supports – in the White House there will be “an exponential revaluation” of the cryptocurrency. He frequently posts price increases on his social networks. For now, he remains silent.

布克勒最近表示，他堅信，與他支持的唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在白宮，將對加密貨幣進行“指數重估”。他經常在社交網絡上發布價格上漲。就目前而言，他保持沉默。
