馬薩諸塞州參議員的虛假加密貨幣政策被揭穿

4 月21 日，一封看似真實的信件，據稱是參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫(Elizabeth Warren) 寫給拜登總統的，呼籲對持有超過50 萬美元的加密貨幣徵收1% 的財富稅，這在社交媒體上引發了憤怒。然而，由於參議員姓名的拼寫錯誤以及與其官方網站的差異，這封信的真實性很快就受到質疑。儘管有證據，一些加密貨幣用戶仍然持懷疑態度，強調了沃倫參議員先前的反加密立場和擬議的立法，例如《數位資產反洗錢法案》。

Massachusetts Senator's Anti-Crypto Policy Proposal Debunked as Fake

馬薩諸塞州參議員的反加密政策提案被揭穿是假的

A recently circulated letter purporting to be from Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren to President Joe Biden, proposing a 1% wealth tax on crypto holdings exceeding $500,000, has been revealed to be a fabrication. Despite the evident inconsistencies with Warren's known positions and the lack of official verification, the fake letter garnered widespread attention and caused a commotion within the cryptocurrency community.

最近流傳的一封自稱是馬薩諸塞州參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫(Elizabeth Warren) 寫給總統喬·拜登(JoeBiden) 的信，提議對持有超過50 萬美元的加密貨幣徵收1% 的財富稅，但已被證明是捏造的。儘管這封假信與華倫已知的立場明顯不一致，且缺乏官方證實，但還是引起了廣泛關注，並在加密貨幣社群內引起了騷動。

Upon closer examination, the purported letter displayed glaring errors, including misspelling Senator Warren's first name as "Elizabeth" instead of the correct "Elizabeth." The letter also lacked the official letterhead typically used by U.S. Senators in communication with the President. Additionally, no such letter appeared on Senator Warren's official website, further casting doubt on its authenticity.

經過仔細檢查，這封所謂的信顯示出明顯的錯誤，包括將參議員沃倫的名字拼寫為“伊麗莎白”，而不是正確的“伊麗莎白”。這封信還沒有美國參議員與總統溝通時通常使用的官方信箋。此外，沃倫參議員的官方網站上並沒有出現這封信，這進一步讓人懷疑其真實性。

Despite the obvious discrepancies, some members of the cryptocurrency community initially expressed apprehension about the letter's validity. However, a spokesperson for Senator Warren's office has since confirmed that the letter is indeed fake and not representative of the Senator's views on cryptocurrency regulation.

儘管存在明顯的差異，加密貨幣社區的一些成員最初對這封信的有效性表示擔憂。然而，華倫參議員辦公室發言人隨後證實，這封信確實是假的，並不代表參議員對加密貨幣監管的看法。

Senator Warren has been a vocal critic of cryptocurrencies, frequently raising concerns about their potential role in illicit activities, such as money laundering and terrorism financing. She has proposed legislation aimed at addressing these concerns, including the Digital Asset Anti-Money Laundering Act, which has faced criticism for its potential to stifle innovation and hinder legitimate crypto transactions.

華倫參議員一直直言不諱地批評加密貨幣，經常對加密貨幣在洗錢和恐怖主義融資等非法活動中的潛在作用表示擔憂。她提出了旨在解決這些問題的立法，包括《數位資產反洗錢法案》，該法案因其可能扼殺創新和阻礙合法加密交易而受到批評。

In contrast to Senator Warren's skepticism, Republican candidate for Massachusetts Senate, John Deaton, has positioned himself as a strong advocate for the cryptocurrency industry. As a crypto lawyer, Deaton has represented some of the biggest players in the crypto space, including Coinbase in its civil lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

與沃倫參議員的懷疑相反，馬薩諸塞州參議院共和黨候選人約翰·迪頓將自己定位為加密貨幣行業的堅定擁護者。身為加密貨幣律師，迪頓曾代表加密貨幣領域的一些最大參與者，包括 Coinbase 針對美國證券交易委員會的民事訴訟。

Deaton's support for cryptocurrencies and his opposition to heavy-handed regulation have resonated with a significant portion of the crypto community. In the first quarter of 2024, Deaton's campaign raised approximately $1.36 million, including a substantial $1 million from his own funds, compared to Warren's $1.09 million.

迪頓對加密貨幣的支持以及對嚴厲監管的反對引起了加密社區很大一部分人的共鳴。 2024 年第一季度，迪頓的競選活動籌集了約 136 萬美元，其中 100 萬美元來自他自己的資金，而沃倫則籌集了 109 萬美元。

The fake anti-crypto letter incident highlights the importance of critical thinking and fact-checking in the digital age. While social media can be a valuable tool for disseminating information, it is equally essential to be vigilant about the accuracy and legitimacy of the content shared. The cryptocurrency community, in particular, has fallen prey to misinformation in the past, leading to unnecessary fear and uncertainty.

假反加密信事件凸顯了數位時代批判性思考和事實查核的重要性。雖然社群媒體可以成為傳播訊息的寶貴工具，但對分享內容的準確性和合法性保持警惕也同樣重要。尤其是加密貨幣社區，過去一直受到錯誤訊息的影響，導致不必要的恐懼和不確定性。

The spread of false information can undermine trust in both the crypto industry and the political process. It is incumbent upon all stakeholders, including policymakers, industry leaders, and the public alike, to work together to combat the dissemination of fabricated or misleading content. By promoting transparency and accountability, we can ensure that informed decision-making and constructive dialogue prevail over misinformation and deception.

虛假訊息的傳播可能會破壞對加密產業和政治進程的信任。所有利害關係人，包括政策制定者、產業領導者和公眾等，都有責任共同努力，打擊捏造或誤導性內容的傳播。透過提高透明度和問責制，我們可以確保知情決策和建設性對話戰勝錯誤訊息和欺騙。
