斐濟央行警告不要使用加密貨幣，總理的立場澆熄了人們的希望

隨著加密貨幣投資的投機和倡議不斷增加，斐濟儲備銀行（RBF）對使用加密貨幣進行支付或投資發出了嚴厲警告。 RBF 的建議扭轉了先前因總理支持比特幣立場而引發的預期，強調斐濟國民使用國內資金在海外投資比特幣可能面臨刑事起訴。該警告源於對未經許可的實體在該國推廣加密貨幣投資計劃的擔憂。

Reserve Bank of Fiji Issues Strong Caution Against Cryptocurrency Use

斐濟儲備銀行對加密貨幣的使用發出強烈警告

The Reserve Bank of Fiji (RBF) has issued a stern warning to the public, urging citizens to refrain from engaging in cryptocurrency transactions for payment or investment purposes. This advisory stands in stark contrast to earlier expectations fueled by Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka's presumed pro-Bitcoin stance.

斐濟儲備銀行（RBF）向公眾發出嚴厲警告，敦促公民不要從事用於支付或投資目的的加密貨幣交易。這項建議與先前總理西蒂維尼·拉布卡（Sitiveni Rabuka）支持比特幣的立場所引發的預期形成了鮮明對比。

In an official statement, the RBF explicitly cautioned Fijian nationals against investing in Bitcoin overseas using funds held within the country, citing potential criminal prosecution. The warning stems from concerns regarding the proliferation of cryptocurrency investment schemes being aggressively promoted in Fiji, particularly through social media platforms.

在官方聲明中，RBF 明確警告斐濟國民不要使用境內持有的資金在海外投資比特幣，理由是可能會受到刑事起訴。該警告源於對斐濟積極推廣的加密貨幣投資計畫激增的擔憂，特別是透過社群媒體平台。

"The Governor of the RBF, Mr. Ariff Ali, acknowledges the existence of individuals or entities actively promoting cryptocurrency investment schemes in Fiji," the statement reads. "These schemes are being disseminated through various platforms, including social media."

聲明中寫道：“斐濟央行行長阿里夫·阿里先生承認斐濟存在積極推動加密貨幣投資計劃的個人或實體。” “這些計劃正在通過包括社交媒體在內的各種平台傳播。”

The RBF emphasized that no entity or individual in Fiji holds a license to facilitate Bitcoin investments or trade in virtual assets.

RBF 強調，斐濟沒有任何實體或個人持有促進比特幣投資或虛擬資產交易的許可證。

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka's December 2022 electoral victory initially fostered hopes for the adoption of Bitcoin in the nation. These expectations were largely based on comments made by Tongan nobleman and member of parliament Mata'i'ulua 'i Fonuamotu, Lord Fusitu'a, who publicly declared Rabuka's affinity for Bitcoin in a post-election social media statement.

總理西蒂維尼·拉布卡 (Sitiveni Rabuka) 2022 年 12 月的選舉勝利最初點燃了該國採用比特幣的希望。這些期望主要基於湯加貴族、議會成員 Fusitu'a 勳爵 Mata'i'ulua 'i Fonuamotu 的評論，他在選舉後的社交媒體聲明中公開宣稱 Rabuka 對比特幣的喜愛。

Lord Fusitu'a's assertion that Rabuka had sought his guidance on implementing Bitcoin as legal tender in Fiji, similar to Tonga's adoption, generated excitement among cryptocurrency enthusiasts. However, Rabuka himself had made no public statements regarding Bitcoin prior to the RBF's advisory.

富西圖阿勳爵聲稱拉布卡曾就斐濟將比特幣作為法定貨幣尋求他的指導（與湯加的採用類似）引起了加密貨幣愛好者的興奮。然而，在 RBF 提出建議之前，拉布卡本人並未就比特幣發表過公開聲明。

The RBF's recent stance aligns with the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) cautious approach towards cryptocurrencies. In February, the IMF released a report analyzing the use of digital currencies in Pacific Island nations, concluding that cryptocurrencies "are poor substitutes for means of payment and carry additional macroeconomic risks."

RBF 最近的立場與國際貨幣基金組織 (IMF) 對加密貨幣的謹慎態度一致。今年二月，國際貨幣基金組織發布了一份報告，分析了太平洋島國數位貨幣的使用情況，得出的結論是，加密貨幣「是支付手段的不良替代品，並且會帶來額外的宏觀經濟風險」。

The RBF's advisory serves as a stark reminder of the potential risks associated with cryptocurrency investments. The bank urges citizens to exercise caution and avoid engaging in activities involving cryptocurrencies due to their unregulated and volatile nature.

RBF 的建議嚴厲提醒人們注意與加密貨幣投資相關的潛在風險。由於加密貨幣不受監管且不穩定，該銀行敦促公民謹慎行事，避免參與涉及加密貨幣的活動。

This advisory reinforces the importance of relying on established financial institutions and regulated investment mechanisms to safeguard financial well-being. The RBF's proactive stance underscores the need for comprehensive regulation and oversight of cryptocurrency markets to protect consumers from potential financial harm.

該建議強調了依靠成熟的金融機構和受監管的投資機制來維護金融福祉的重要性。 RBF 的積極立場強調了對加密貨幣市場進行全面監管和監督的必要性，以保護消費者免受潛在的財務損害。
