眾議員羅卡納（Ro Khanna）說，民主黨應該擁抱比特幣

2025年3月11日，眾議員Ro Khanna在比特幣政策研究所為美國峰會的比特幣政策研究所舉行了簡短但有影響力的演講。

On March 11, 2025, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) gave a short but impactful talk at the Bitcoin Policy Institute’s Bitcoin for America summit.

2025年3月11日，眾議員Ro Khanna（D-CA）在比特幣政策研究所的美國比特幣峰會上進行了簡短但有影響力的演講。

“The Democratic Party can be the party of financial empowerment, and that’s why I think it’s important for them to embrace Bitcoin,” Rep. Khanna stated at the summit.

眾議員Khanna在峰會上說：“民主黨可以成為賦予財務權力的政黨，這就是為什麼我認為對他們擁抱比特幣很重要。”

This is the type of message he’s been spreading for years now, and he’s urged his fellow Democrats to follow his lead. He’s implored them to not be scared of Bitcoin but to view it just as they view other major technological advancements of our time, including the internet itself.

這是他多年來一直在傳播的那種信息，他敦促他的民主黨人跟隨他的領導。他懇求他們不要害怕比特幣，而是要查看它，就像他們查看了我們那個時代（包括互聯網本身）的其他主要技術進步一樣。

“My goal is to make Bitcoin bipartisan,” Rep. Khanna told Bitcoin Magazine. “I want to convince Democrats that bitcoin is a next-generation store of value that millions of people around the world use and that America showing leadership on it allows us to connect with these people, often some of the most disenfranchised.”

眾議員Khanna告訴Bitcoin Magazine：“我的目標是製作比特幣兩黨。” “我想說服民主黨人，比特幣是世界各地數百萬人使用的價值的下一代商店，美國表現出領導才能使我們能夠與這些人建立聯繫，通常是一些最被剝奪的人。”

For a party that often adovcates for financial inclusion, it seems almost ironic that so many Democrats have looked past Bitcoin, an open-source technology that anyone can use with nothing more than an internet connection (and, in some cases, even without one).

對於一個經常與金融包容聯繫的政黨來說，如此諷刺的是，如此眾多的民主黨人已經看過比特幣，這是一種開源技術，任何人都可以與互聯網連接無非是使用（在某些情況下，即使沒有一個人）。

With that said, Rep. Khanna made the point that, while he remains one of the few more vocal Democrats when it comes to being pro-Bitcoin, the number of Democratic politicians who have stated that they’re in favor of the technology has increased substantially over the past few years.

話雖如此，眾議員卡納（Khanna）指出，儘管他仍然是少數聲音民主黨人之一，但在成為競爭者方面，民主黨政客的數量在過去幾年中，他們贊成這項技術的人數有了大幅度的增長。

“We went from just 10 of us or so supporting Bitcoin and crypto to almost 70 or 80,” said Rep. Khanna. “It’s happening slowly.”

眾議員Khanna說：“我們從只有10個左右的支持比特幣和加密貨幣到近70或80歲。” “它正在緩慢地發生。”

And while some have attributed to malice most Democrats’ historical stance on Bitcoin, Rep. Khanna claims the issue is more a lack of understanding of the technology’s purpose and use cases.

儘管有些人將大多數民主黨人對比特幣的歷史立場歸因於惡意，但眾議員khanna聲稱這個問題更多地缺乏對技術目的和用例的了解。

“Some Democratic politicians are not aware of how helpful Bitcoin can be with remittances or how it can be used by those who don’t have access to U.S. dollars,” said the congressman. “Many people around the world use it for both reasons,” he added, alluding to the idea that many, including some Democrats, might not be aware of this fact.

國會議員說：“一些民主黨政客不知道比特幣對匯款有多麼有益的幫助，或者那些無法獲得美元的人如何使用它。”他補充說：“世界各地的許多人都使用它。”他暗示了包括一些民主黨在內的許多人可能不知道這一事實。

According to research from Coinbase, in each of the swing states in the most recent U.S. presidential election, there were about 10 times the number of crypto holders compared to the vote differential between Biden and Trump in 2020.

根據Coinbase的研究，在最近的美國總統大選中，在每個搖擺國家中，與2020年拜登和特朗普之間的投票差異相比，加密貨幣持有人的數量大約是加密貨幣持有人的10倍。

For example, in Pennsylvania, there were 800,0000 crypto holders compared to a vote differential of 80,000. In Michigan, there were 500,000 crypto holders compared to a vote differential of 50,000. And in Wisconsin, there were 400,000 crypto holders compared to a vote differential of 40,000.

例如，在賓夕法尼亞州，與80,000的投票差異相比，有8000000個加密貨幣持有人。在密歇根州，有500,000個加密持有人，而50,000票的投票差異。在威斯康星州，有40萬個加密持有人，而投票差額為40,000。

Harris lost to Trump in each of these swing states, leaving some to speculate that the turnout of the Bitcoin and crypto voting bloc may have been one of the primary forces that swayed the election in Trump’s favor.

哈里斯（Harris）在每個揮桿國家中都輸給了特朗普，但一些人推測比特幣和加密貨幣投票集團的投票可能是對特朗普有利的選舉的主要力量之一。

While Rep. Khanna doesn’t know to what extent this voting bloc impacted the election results, he agreed that it was likely one of many major factors that affected the outcome of the election.

儘管眾議員Khanna不知道該投票集團在多大程度上影響了選舉結果，但他同意，這可能是影響選舉結果的許多主要因素之一。

“I think it made a difference,” said the congressman. “In such a close election, everything matters, and the fact that there were some Democrats who offended Bitcoin and crypto voters was not helpful.”

國會議員說：“我認為這有所作為。” “在如此親密的選舉中，一切都很重要，有些民主黨人冒犯了比特幣和加密選民沒有幫助。”

And Rep. Khanna is not alone in acknowledging this.

眾議員Khanna並不孤單地承認這一點。

In December 2024, at the New York Times DealBook Summit, Van Jones — political analyst, media persona, and prominent voice within the Democratic party — stated that it was to the Democratic party’s detriment that it shut out pro-Bitcoin and pro-crypto voters.

2024年12月，在紐約時報交易書峰會上，範·瓊斯（Van Jones） - 政治分析師，媒體角色和民主黨內部的著名聲音 - 指出，民主黨對民主黨的損害卻將其拒之門外，這是因為它拒絕了親甲幣和親克賴特託的選民。

Rep. Khanna sang Jones’ praises and said that we should be hearing more voices like Jones’ within the Democratic party speaking up in favor of Bitcoin in the near future.

眾議員卡納（Khanna）唱著讚美，並說我們應該在不久的將來聽到更多的聲音，例如民主黨內部的瓊斯（Jones'民主黨內部的聲音，贊成比特幣。

“I have a lot of respect for Van Jones,” said Rep. Khanna.

“我非常尊重範·瓊斯，”眾議員卡納說。

“He spent some time in the Bay Area, so he gets technology. The party will be moving in a direction that’s going to embrace Bitcoin and other technologies,” he added.

他補充說：“他在灣區度過了一段時間，因此他獲得了技術。該黨將朝著採用比特幣和其他技術的方向前進。”

It only seems logical that the Democratic party would reverse its stance on Bitcoin if it’s looking to pick up seats on the House and Senate come the 2026 midterm elections. But it simultaneously seems difficult to imagine more Democrats coming out in support of Bitcoin given the highly partisan political climate in the U.S. coupled with the fact that President Trump is an ardent Bitcoin supporter.

如果民主黨希望在眾議院佔據席位，而參議院參加2026年的中期選舉似乎是合乎邏輯的。但是，鑑於美國高度高度的黨派政治氣候以及特朗普總統是一個熱心的比特幣支持者，同時似乎很難想像更多的民主黨人支持比特幣。

At the Bitcoin for America summit, Rep. Khanna argued that Democrats shouldn’t be thinking along party lines when it comes to Bitcoin, but rather assessing the technology based solely on what it is.

在美國比特幣峰會上，眾議員卡納（Khanna）認為，民主黨人在比特幣方面不應該沿著政黨思路進行思考，而是僅根據其本質來評估技術。
