1322年眾議院法案前進到整宮進行辯論。 R-South Bend的眾議員Jake Teshka撰寫了該法案，該法案將允許公共僱員和教師退休資金投資於某些比特幣交易所交易的資金。

Indiana lawmakers are considering a bill that would permit state funds to be invested in Bitcoin.

印第安納州立法者正在考慮一項法案，該法案將允許國家資金投資於比特幣。

House Bill 1322 has advanced to the full House for further discussion.

1322年眾議院法案已晉升為全屋進行進一步討論。

The bill, authored by Rep. Jake Teshka, R-South Bend, would allow public employee and teacher retirement funds to be invested in specific Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.

該法案由R-South Bend的眾議員Jake Teshka撰寫，將允許公共僱員和教師退休資金投資於特定的比特幣交易所資金。

"We're essentially asking people to come and tell us how blockchain technology can benefit state government and its processes," Teshka said. "There is no mandate in here for any agency to participate at this time."

Teshka說：“我們本質上要求人們來告訴我們區塊鏈技術如何使州政府及其程序受益。” “這裡沒有任何機構目前參加的任務。”

The bill also calls for a study on how blockchain technology could improve state operations. Supporters say it could reduce costs, enhance security and create efficiencies. Lawmakers backing the bill argued that Bitcoin offers long-term potential despite market fluctuations.

該法案還呼籲研究區塊鏈技術如何改善國家運營。支持者說，這可以降低成本，提高安全性並創造效率。支持該法案的議員認為，儘管市場波動，比特幣具有長期潛力。

Opponents have raised concerns about financial risks, saying Bitcoin is too unpredictable.

反對者提出了對財務風險的擔憂，稱比特幣太不可預測了。

Teshka noted that Bitcoin has outperformed traditional assets over time. He acknowledged its volatility but maintained that it is a strong investment option.

Teshka指出，隨著時間的推移，比特幣表現優於傳統資產。他承認它的波動性，但堅持認為這是一種強大的投資選擇。

Rep. Chris Campbell, D-Lafayette, said she sees it as a major risk for retirees. She questioned how lawmakers could ensure it was a safe investment for state funds.

D-Lafayette的眾議員Chris Campbell說，她認為這是退休人員的主要風險。她質疑立法者如何確保這是國家資金的安全投資。

"When I asked about cryptocurrency investments online, it seemed like they were really discouraged," Campbell said. "Crypto is volatile and carries substantial risk. There's a lot of scamming associated with it."

坎貝爾說：“當我在網上詢問加密貨幣投資時，似乎真的不鼓勵。” “加密是揮發性的，有很大的風險。與之相關的騙子。”

Teshka said the state would carefully study the risks before making any decisions. He called Bitcoin the future of finance but stressed that Indiana would proceed cautiously. The bill now awaits debate in the House.

特什卡說，國家將在做出任何決定之前仔細研究風險。他稱比特幣是財務的未來，但強調印第安納州會謹慎進行。該法案現在正在等待房屋中的辯論。
