德國重新燃起對比特幣的興趣，克里斯蒂安·林德納 (Christian Lindner) 建議下一步行動

德國政策制定者正在加強將區塊鏈和比特幣整合到其金融體系中。在最近的區塊鏈圓桌會議上

German policymakers are ramping up their efforts to integrate blockchain and Bitcoin into the country's financial system. At a recent Blockchain Roundtable hosted by Fraktion der Freien Demokraten and Frank Schäffler, parliament members and resource persons discussed several key proposals to help the government achieve its goal.

德國政策制定者正在加強將區塊鏈和比特幣整合到該國的金融體系中。在最近由 Fraktion der Freien Demokraten 和 Frank Schäffler 主辦的區塊鏈圓桌會議上，議會成員和顧問討論了幫助政府實現目標的幾項關鍵提案。

The roundtable, held in the German Parliament, was attended by several key policymakers, including former Finance Minister Christian Lindner and Circle executive Patrick Hansen.

這次圓桌會議在德國議會舉行，幾位主要政策制定者出席了會議，包括前財政部長克里斯蒂安·林德納 (Christian Lindner) 和 Circle 高管帕特里克·漢森 (Patrick Hansen)。

Germany's Bitcoin Initiative: Lindner Outlines Next Steps

德國的比特幣計劃：林德納概述了後續步驟

Former Finance Minister Christian Lindner was among the guests at the Blockchain Roundtable, discussing at length what the German government could do to accelerate its entry into blockchain and Bitcoin.

前財政部長 Christian Lindner 是區塊鏈圓桌會議的嘉賓之一，詳細討論了德國政府可以採取哪些措施來加速進入區塊鏈和比特幣。

According to Lindner, there are three ways for the government to compete in this industry. First, the German government could issue bonds on the blockchain. Second, it could encourage discussions and debates on creating a German Bitcoin reserve. If this happens, Germany can follow the lead of other countries actively pursuing Bitcoin as a reserve.

林德納認為，政府可以透過三種方式參與該產業的競爭。首先，德國政府可以在區塊鏈上發行債券。其次，它可以鼓勵關於創建德國比特幣儲備的討論和辯論。如果發生這種情況，德國可以效法其他國家積極尋求比特幣作為儲備。

Third, it can allow Bitcoin ETFs to enter the European Union, which is currently limited to ETCs/ETNs. Approving the trading of spot Bitcoin ETFs will give retail investors a convenient way to invest in institutional-grade and highly regulated investment options, boosting blockchain adoption in the region.

第三，它可以允許比特幣ETF進入歐盟，目前僅限於ETC/ETN。批准現貨比特幣 ETF 交易將為散戶投資者提供一種便捷的方式來投資機構級和高度監管的投資選擇，從而促進區塊鏈在該地區的採用。

Germany Reeling From Its Bitcoin Loss In 2024?

德國將在 2024 年遭受比特幣損失？

Interestingly, the German government controlled 50,000 Bitcoins last year. In January 2024, the Bitcoins were seized from the website Movie.2k.com, which operates pirated movies. Around 50,000 Bitcoins were seized as part of the operations, and these were put on sale between June 19th and July 12th last year at the price of $53,000 per Bitcoin. These transactions generated over $2.8 billion for the German government.

有趣的是，德國政府去年控制了 5 萬枚比特幣。 2024 年 1 月，從經營盜版電影的 Movie.2k.com 網站上查獲了比特幣。行動中查獲了約 50,000 個比特幣，這些比特幣於去年 6 月 19 日至 7 月 12 日期間以每比特幣 53,000 美元的價格出售。這些交易為德國政府創造了超過 28 億美元的收入。

However, not everyone was happy with the result after witnessing Bitcoin’s price surge that started weeks after the completed transactions. Weeks after the transaction, Bitcoin surged to $88,000, and by the time the United States elected Donald Trump for his second administration, Bitcoin had already crossed the $100k mark.

然而，在目睹交易完成幾週後比特幣價格開始飆升後，並不是所有人都對結果感到滿意。交易幾週後，比特幣飆升至 88,000 美元，當美國選舉唐納德·川普擔任第二屆政府時，比特幣已經突破 10 萬美元大關。

According to market observers, Bitcoin's impressive price run to over $100k in just a few months highlighted the impact of Germany's early sales and underscored the importance of having a Bitcoin policy.

據市場觀察家稱，比特幣價格在短短幾個月內飆升至 10 萬美元以上，凸顯了德國早期銷售的影響，並強調了製定比特幣政策的重要性。

Germany's Renewed Interest On Bitcoin

德國對比特幣重新產生興趣

With Bitcoin trading above $90k and a pro-Bitcoin Trump taking office in the US, many commentators and analysts expect better days for blockchain and digital assets. And German policymakers are making up for lost ground by revisiting the discussions to pursue a Bitcoin program. For example, Lindner spoke at the Bundestag last December, reflecting on the government’s “missed opportunity” in Bitcoin. He also shared that the US is ready to implement its Bitcoin policies under Donald Trump.

隨著比特幣交易價格超過 9 萬美元，以及支持比特幣的川普在美國上任，許多評論員和分析師預計區塊鏈和數位資產的日子會更好。德國政策制定者正在透過重新討論推行比特幣計畫來彌補失地。例如，林德納去年 12 月在聯邦議院發表講話，反思了政府在比特幣方面「錯失的機會」。他還表示，美國已準備好在唐納德·川普的領導下實施其比特幣政策。
