貝德明斯特的總統競選活動

According to a report published today by the Washington Post, the seeds of a new friendship were first planted over dinner at Trump’s private golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, last summer. This was the first time Marc Andreessen—famed creator of the modern web browser and co-founder of the powerhouse venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz—had met Trump.

根據《華盛頓郵報》今天發表的一篇報道稱，去年夏天，新友誼的種子是在川普位於新澤西州貝德明斯特的私人高爾夫俱樂部的晚餐時播下的。這是馬克·安德森（Marc Andreessen）第一次見到川普，他是現代網路瀏覽器的著名發明者，也是實力雄厚的創投公司安德森·霍洛維茲（Andreessen Horowitz）的共同創辦人。

Trump’s message? He wants to see American tech outcompete China, break down regulatory barriers, and supercharge high-growth sectors, including cryptocurrency. With Biden’s administration having “cracked down” on crypto and other emerging tech, Andreessen saw an opportunity for a major pivot toward fostering innovation.

川普的訊息？他希望看到美國科技公司在競爭中超越中國，打破監管壁壘，並推動包括加密貨幣在內的高成長產業。隨著拜登政府「打擊」加密貨幣和其他新興技術，安德森看到了一個大力推動創新的機會。

Silicon Valley’s Renewed Courtship of Washington

矽谷重新向華盛頓示好

During Biden’s term, many in the venture capital community felt they’d been shut out of D.C. policy discussions. But now, Andreessen and other top-tier investors sense an open lane to advance a new “Little Tech” agenda, especially on crypto.

在拜登任期內，創投界的許多人認為他們被排除在華盛頓政策討論之外。但現在，安德森和其他頂級投資者感覺到了推進新「小科技」議程的開放通道，特別是在加密貨幣領域。

A “Boot Off the Throat”

“開掉喉嚨”

In his December 2024 appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience (#2234), Andreessen said that Trump’s election felt like a freeing moment for the startup world, promising a friendlier environment for AI, crypto, and other emerging tech. This especially matters for early-stage companies that lack resources to navigate convoluted regulations. 

安德森在2024 年12 月出現在Joe Rogan Experience (#2234) 節目中時表示，川普的當選感覺就像是初創企業世界的自由時刻，他承諾為人工智慧、加密貨幣和其他新興技術提供一個更友善的環境。這對於缺乏資源來應對複雜法規的早期公司尤其重要。

Andreessen and Rogan also discussed several pressing topics that highlight Andreessen’s tech-friendly agenda and the current societal shift to the right.

安德森和羅根也討論了幾個緊迫的話題，突出了安德森的技術友好議程和當前社會右傾的趨勢。

Debanking and Financial Exclusion

去銀行化和金融排斥

Andreessen highlighted concerns about “debanking,” where individuals and businesses, particularly those with right-leaning views or affiliations with industries like cryptocurrency, are denied banking services. He suggested that this practice, potentially influenced by government policies, undermines financial inclusion and freedom.

安德森強調了對「去銀行化」的擔憂，即個人和企業，特別是那些具有右傾觀點或與加密貨幣等行業有聯繫的個人和企業，被拒絕提供銀行服務。他認為，這種做法可能受到政府政策的影響，破壞了金融包容性和自由。

Critique of ‘The Deal’ and Philanthropy

對「交易」和慈善事業的批評

He discussed the erosion of what he termed “The Deal,” a traditional understanding where tech entrepreneurs could innovate, profit, and later contribute philanthropically without facing societal backlash. Andreessen noted a cultural shift, particularly on the left, where philanthropy is now viewed skeptically, with critics arguing that wealth redistribution should be state-controlled rather than individually directed.

他討論了他所謂的「交易」的侵蝕，這是一種傳統理解，即科技企業家可以創新、盈利，然後在不面臨社會強烈反對的情況下為慈善事業做出貢獻。安德森指出了一種文化轉變，尤其是左翼文化的轉變，現在人們對慈善事業持懷疑態度，批評者認為財富的再分配應該由國家控制，而不是由個人指導。

Political Realignment and Support for Donald Trump

政治調整和對唐納德·特朗普的支持

Andreessen observed a significant political realignment, expressing optimism about America’s future. He noted that the recent election results have led to a sense of hopefulness among his peers, marking a departure from previous post-election sentiments. Andreessen’s support for Donald Trump, including substantial donations to pro-Trump super PACs, underscores his belief in the potential for positive change under the new administration.

安德森觀察到重大的政治調整，對美國的未來表示樂觀。他指出，最近的選舉結果給同僚帶來了希望，這與之前的選後情緒有所不同。安德森對唐納德·川普的支持，包括向支持川普的超級政治行動委員會提供大量捐款，突顯了他對新政府領導下積極變革潛力的信念。

Advancements in AI and Future Warfare

人工智慧和未來戰爭的進步

The conversation also touched on the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and their implications for future warfare. Andreessen emphasized that AI could revolutionize military strategy, with AI-controlled systems potentially outperforming human counterparts. He highlighted the need for ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks to govern AI development and deployment.

談話也談到了人工智慧（AI）的快速發展及其對未來戰爭的影響。安德森強調，人工智慧可以徹底改變軍事戰略，而人工智慧控制的系統有可能超越人類系統。他強調需要道德考慮和監管框架來管理人工智慧的開發和部署。

Cultural Shifts and Wokeism

文化變遷與喚醒主義

Andreessen critiqued the rise of “Wokeism,” noting its lack of concepts like redemption or forgiveness, which are present in traditional religions. He argued that this cultural shift has led to increased polarization and the suppression of new ideas, as Wokeism tends to be inherently totalitarian. Andreessen emphasized the importance of fostering an environment that tolerates new ideas to prevent societal stagnation and decline.

安德森批評了「覺醒主義」的興起，指出它缺乏傳統宗教中存在的救贖或寬恕等概念。他認為，這種文化轉變導致了兩極化的加劇和對新思想的壓制，因為覺醒主義本質上傾向於極權主義。安德森強調營造包容新想法的環境對於防止社會停滯和衰退的重要性。

Crypto Investors, Rejoice

加密貨幣投資者，歡欣鼓舞

Now, here’s the juicy part for all you crypto HODLers and investors. Andreessen Horowitz was among the earliest to back Coinbase and remains one of the most vocal supporters of crypto’s future. Under Biden, crypto faced tighter scrutiny:

現在，這是對所有加密貨幣持有者和投資者來說最有趣的部分。 Andreessen Horowitz 是最早支援 Coinbase 的公司之一，並且仍然是加密貨幣未來最直言不諱的支持者之一。在拜登的領導下，加密貨幣面臨更嚴格的審查：

“America First” on Crypto

加密貨幣上的“美國優先”

At a high-profile luncheon at Mar-a-Lago late last year, David Sacks laid out plans for major shake-ups in AI and crypto rules. If Trump follows through, we can expect a more business-friendly and innovation-focused approach.

去年年底，在海湖莊園舉行的一次備受矚目的午餐會上，大衛·薩克斯 (David Sacks) 制定了人工智慧和加密貨幣規則重大改革的計劃。如果川普付諸實施，我們可以期待採取更有利於商業和注重創新的做法。

A New “Crypto Ball”

新的“加密球”

Trump is already being dubbed “the first crypto president” by supporters who feel the tides are turning. Tech industry elites, including some venture capital superstars such as Peter Thiel, plan to host a “Crypto Ball” during inaugural festivities. This signals how much further the synergy between the new White House and crypto leaders might expand.

川普已經被認為潮流正在轉變的支持者稱為「第一位加密貨幣總統」。科技業精英，包括彼得泰爾等一些創投巨星，計劃在就職慶典期間舉辦「加密舞會」。這標誌著新任白宮和加密貨幣領導人之間的協同作用可能會進一步擴大。
