巴拿馬市議會投票支持比特幣和加密貨幣

在周四的公告中，巴拿馬市議會正式揭幕已批准接受比特幣（BTC）和其他數字資產

The Panama City Council has approved the acceptance of Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital assets for municipal services including tax, fees and permits.

巴拿馬市議會已批准接受比特幣（BTC）和其他數字資產用於市政服務，包括稅收，費用和許可證。

Mayor Mayer Mizrachi announced the decision on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the council’s Bitcoin vote as pivotal.

市長梅耶·米茲拉奇（Mayer Mizrachi）在X（以前為Twitter）上宣布了這一決定，強調了理事會的比特幣投票為關鍵。

“Panama City council has just voted in favor of becoming the 1st public institution of government to accept payments in crypto. Citizens will now be able to pay taxes, fees, tickets, and permits entirely in crypto, starting with BTC, ETH, USDC, and USDT,” Mizrachi disclosed.

“巴拿馬市議會剛剛投票贊成成為第一個公共政府接受加密貨幣付款的政府機構。現在，公民將能夠完全在Crypto中支付稅款，費用，門票和許可，從BTC，ETH，USDC和USDT開始，” Mizrachi透露。 ”

This move marks a significant shift in how residents can engage with their local government, enabling seamless transactions using Bitcoin and digital currencies for everyday expenses like taxes, tickets, permits, and fees.

此舉標誌著居民如何與地方政府互動的方式發生了重大轉變，可以使用比特幣和數字貨幣進行無縫交易，以徵稅，票，許可證和費用等日常費用。

Announcing this development, the mayor also highlighted that this achievement was realized without the need for new Bitcoin and crypto legislation, a challenge that had previously hindered similar initiatives in the country.

市長宣布這一發展，還強調說，這項成就是實現的，而無需新的比特幣和加密立法，這一挑戰以前妨礙了該國類似的舉措。

“Prior administrations tried to push a bill in the senate to make this possible, but we found a simple way to do it without new legislation.”

“先前的政府試圖在參議院提出一項法案，以使這一行為成為可能，但我們找到了一種簡單的方法來無需新的立法。”

To realize this initiative, the city council will be partnering with a bank to process the transactions, receiving payments in cryptocurrencies and converting them to US dollars on the spot.

為了意識到這一倡議，市議會將與銀行合作處理交易，收取加密貨幣的付款並當場將其轉換為美元。

This partnership not only facilitates the acceptance of digital currencies but also ensures compliance with existing legal frameworks that mandate public institutions to receive funds in dollars. “This allows for the free flow of crypto in the entire economy and entire government,” Mizrachi stated.

這種合作夥伴關係不僅有助於接受數字貨幣的接受，還可以確保遵守現有的法律框架，該法律框架要求公共機構以美元收取資金。 “這允許在整個經濟和整個政府中自由流動加密。”

The Panama City Mayor’s Office also confirmed the news via its official social media channels, adding, “We will soon become the first public institution in the country to allow payment for municipal services in cryptocurrency, through an authorized bank that will be responsible for converting the proceeds into dollars for the Mayor’s Office.”

巴拿馬城市長辦公室還通過其官方社交媒體渠道證實了這一消息，並補充說：“我們將很快成為該國的第一個公共機構，允許通過一家授權的銀行將收益轉換為市長辦公室的收益。”

Looking ahead, Mayor Mizrachi revealed that the agreement with the banking partner is to be finalized next week. “The deal’s being signed next week at the Blockchain conference in Panama. Look out for the signing of the deal next week.”

展望未來，Mizrachi市長透露，與銀行合作夥伴的協議將在下週完成。 “這筆交易將於下週在巴拿馬舉行的區塊鏈會議上簽署。尋求下週交易的簽署。”

At the time of writing, BTC trades at $84,825, up nearly 5% in the weekly time frame after a sharp decline toward 75,700 last week. As of now, the market’s leading cryptocurrency is 22% below its all-time high reached back in January of this year.
