Latam Insights Encore：Milai 的加密貨幣獨立呼籲揭示了採用困境

最近支持加密貨幣的總統唐納德·川普的當選以及美國史無前例地採用比特幣的預期引發了擔憂

Pro-crypto President Donald Trump was elected recently, and there’s been a lot of talk about the U.S. adopting bitcoin on an unprecedented scale. While these developments may validate the criticisms that traditional crypto advocates have been expressing for years, they could also usher in an era of greater control and oversight over bitcoin and cryptocurrency, given what’s at stake.

支持加密貨幣的總統川普最近當選，關於美國以前所未有的規模採用比特幣的討論很多。雖然這些發展可能證實了傳統加密貨幣倡導者多年來一直表達的批評，但考慮到其中的利害關係，它們也可能迎來一個對比特幣和加密貨幣進行更大控制和監督的時代。

Recently, Argentine President Javier Milei also made some interesting statements about the state’s move toward cryptocurrency, raising alarms about the possible effects it could have. At an event organized by Meta in Buenos Aires, Milei stated that cryptocurrencies were empowering technologies that allowed citizens to break the currency monopoly.

最近，阿根廷總統哈維爾·米雷（Javier Milei）也就該國向加密貨幣的發展發表了一些有趣的聲明，對它可能產生的影響發出了警報。在 Meta 在布宜諾斯艾利斯組織的活動上，Milei 表示，加密貨幣正在賦予技術力量，讓公民打破貨幣壟斷。

Warning about the effect of a possible takeover, he stressed:

他對可能的收購的影響發出警告，強調：

Don’t let the states take over and carry out cryptocurrencies. Do not allow the state to put its hand in there, because – from there – they will turn us into slaves.

不要讓各州接管並推行加密貨幣。不要讓國家插手在那裡，因為──從那裡──他們會把我們變成奴隸。

While most agree that Milei was referring to the central bank digital currency (CBDC) menace, there is another way to interpret this call, as a new wave of state crypto adoption is upon us. As large states begin to amass significant quantities of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, they will also need to strive for greater control over the operations and transactions they conduct, given the holdings they control.

雖然大多數人都同意 Milei 指的是央行數位貨幣（CBDC）的威脅，但還有另一種方式來解釋這項呼籲，因為新一波國家加密貨幣採用浪潮即將到來。隨著大國開始累積大量比特幣和其他加密貨幣，考慮到它們所控制的資產，它們還需要努力對它們進行的營運和交易進行更大的控制。

From this perspective, Bitcoin—a project born from the necessity of separating money from the state—could end up being controlled by states as they seek to assert their dominance in a hypothetical Cold War-style dispute over Bitcoin. While the Bitcoin network is distributed, a significant portion remains under the control of companies subject to regulations. Bitcoin developers, the human side of the cryptocurrency, are also vulnerable.

從這個角度來看，比特幣——一個出於將貨幣與國家分離的需要而誕生的項目——最終可能會受到國家的控制，因為它們試圖在假想的冷戰式比特幣爭端中維護自己的主導地位。雖然比特幣網路是分散式的，但很大一部分仍處於受監管公司的控制之下。比特幣開發商，也就是加密貨幣的人性化一面，也很脆弱。

A state takeover of Bitcoin, while potentially beneficial to stakeholders who consider it a store of value, would undermine its original purpose of providing financial freedom to those who value it as a medium of exchange.

國家接管比特幣，雖然對認為比特幣是價值儲存手段的利益相關者可能有利，但會破壞其為那些將比特幣視為交換媒介的人提供財務自由的初衷。
