Michael Saylor 比特幣託管言論引發社群爭議

MicroStrategy 執行長 Michael Saylor 在最近接受記者 Madison Reidy 採訪時，其有關託管和監管的言論在比特幣社群中引發了重大爭議。

Michael Saylor, the CEO of MicroStrategy, sparked heated debate within the Bitcoin community after making bold statements about custody and regulation in a recent interview with journalist Madison Reidy.

MicroStrategy 執行長 Michael Saylor 在最近接受記者 Madison Reidy 採訪時就託管和監管發表了大膽言論，引發了比特幣社群的激烈爭論。

Amidst growing apprehension over large institutions and third-party custodians holding substantial amounts of BTC, Saylor surprisingly argued against self-custody and dismissed fears of heightened seizure or confiscation.

在人們對持有大量比特幣的大型機構和第三方託管人日感到擔憂的情況下，塞勒出乎意料地反對自我託管，並消除了對扣押或沒收加劇的擔憂。

According to Saylor, BTC is safer when held by regulated public entities like BlackRock, Fidelity, and JPMorgan Chase, rather than by unregulated private holders. He stated, “I think it’s the opposite. I think that when Bitcoin is held by a bunch of crypto anarchists who aren’t regulated entities, who don’t acknowledge government or don’t acknowledge taxes or don’t acknowledge reporting requirements, that increases the risk of seizure.”

Saylor 表示，由貝萊德、富達和摩根大通等受監管的公共實體持有比特幣比不受監管的私人持有者持有更安全。他說：「我認為事實恰恰相反。我認為，當比特幣由一群不受監管的實體、不承認政府、不承認稅收或不承認報告要求的加密無政府主義者持有時，就會增加被扣押的風險。

Highlighting the importance of self-custody for BTC's value proposition, several members of the crypto community expressed strong disagreement with Saylor's remarks.

加密社群的幾位成員強調了自我託管對於 BTC 價值主張的重要性，對 Saylor 的言論表示強烈反對。

Even Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin joined the fray, describing Saylor’s statement as “batshit insane,” reflecting the widespread disapproval from prominent figures in the crypto space.

就連以太坊聯合創始人 Vitalik Buterin 也加入了這場爭論，他將 Saylor 的聲明描述為“胡言亂語”，反映出加密貨幣領域知名人士的普遍反對。

Faced with mounting criticism, Saylor appears to have shifted his position. Via X, he clarified his stance, emphasizing support for self-custody for those able and willing, the right to self-custody for all, and freedom to choose the form of custody and custodian for individuals and institutions globally.

面對越來越多的批評，塞勒似乎改變了立場。他透過X澄清了自己的立場，強調支持有能力和願意的人的自我保管，所有人的自我保管權，以及全球個人和機構選擇保管形式和保管人的自由。

“I support self-custody for those willing & able, the right to self-custody for all, and freedom to choose the form of custody & custodian for individuals & institutions globally. #Bitcoin benefits from all forms of investment by all types of entities, and should welcome everyone.”

「我支持那些願意和有能力的人進行自我託管，所有人都有自我託管的權利，以及全球個人和機構自由選擇託管形式和託管人的權利。 # 比特幣受益於各類實體的各種形式的投資，應該歡迎所有人。

Gabor Gurbacs, founder of PointsVille and a strategist at Tether, commented that Saylor’s adjusted stance “shouldn’t be a controversial position” and considered it “just common sense.” However, not all were fully satisfied.

PointsVille 創辦人、Tether 策略師 Gabor Gurbacs 評論稱，Saylor 調整後的立場“不應該成為一個有爭議的立場”，並認為這“只是常識”。然而，並非所有人都完全滿意。

Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser highlighted the high risks involved in having others custody one’s Bitcoin and noted that self-custody and the separation of state and money are key characteristics that define it.

比特幣倡導者 Max Keizer 強調了讓他人保管自己的比特幣所涉及的高風險，並指出自我保管以及國家與貨幣的分離是定義比特幣的關鍵特徵。

“To be clear, El Salvador is opening up Bitcoin banks attached with caveats clearly stating that self-custody—and the separation of state & money—are key characteristics that define Bitcoin. Bitcoin is transforming money & the concept of the nation state too..”

「需要明確的是，薩爾瓦多正在開放比特幣銀行，並附帶警告，明確指出自我託管以及國家與貨幣的分離是定義比特幣的關鍵特徵。比特幣正在改變貨幣和民族國家的概念…”

While advocating for self-custody, industry analyst James Van Straten acknowledged that institutional involvement and ease of access, such as through ETFs, are important for BTC adoption. He also speculated that MicroStrategy might be positioning itself as a BTC bank.

在提倡自我託管的同時，產業分析師 James Van Straten 承認，機構參與和易於獲取（例如透過 ETF）對於 BTC 的採用非常重要。他還推測 MicroStrategy 可能會將自己定位為 BTC 銀行。

“Saylor is playing a completely different game than the average pleb. Depending on the next US administration, he has to position himself carefully. I would argue it’s even more stupid to position himself as a crypto-anarchist. If he deems yield is necessary, then it is. Got the first four years right.”

「塞勒正在玩與一般民眾完全不同的遊戲。他必須謹慎地定位自己，這取決於下一屆美國政府。我認為將自己定位為加密無政府主義者會更加愚蠢。如果他認為屈服是必要的，那麼它就是必要的。前四年是正確的。
