共和黨參議員辛西婭·盧米斯表示，將黃金儲備轉換為比特幣可以增強美國政府的財政狀況

盧米斯以看漲加密貨幣而聞名，她認為建立比特幣戰略儲備可以加強美元作為世界儲備貨幣的地位，並減輕該國的債務負擔。

Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed converting a portion of the U.S. gold reserves into Bitcoin to strengthen the country's financial stability and reduce its debt burden.

共和黨參議員辛西婭·魯米斯 (Cynthia Lummis) 提議將部分美國黃金儲備轉換為比特幣，以加強該國的金融穩定並減輕債務負擔。

In an interview with CNBC, Lummis suggested that the Federal Reserve could sell some of its gold holdings, which are currently valued at 1970s prices, and use the proceeds to purchase Bitcoin (BTC). This move would help create a "strategic Bitcoin reserve," which Lummis believes could enhance the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency.

Lummis 在接受 CNBC 採訪時表示，聯準會可以出售其持有的部分黃金（目前這些黃金的估值為 1970 年代的價格），並用所得收益購買比特幣 (BTC)。此舉將有助於創建“比特幣戰略儲備”，魯米斯認為這可以增強美元作為世界儲備貨幣的地位。

Highlighting Bitcoin's potential for high returns, especially as it approaches $100,000, the senator likened it to a "gold standard digital asset." She also emphasized the importance of creating a strategic reserve in implementing Bitcoin as a monetary standard.

這位參議員強調了比特幣的高回報潛力，尤其是當它接近 10 萬美元時，他將其比作「黃金標準數位資產」。她還強調了建立戰略儲備以實施比特幣作為貨幣標準的重要性。

“We have reserves at our 12 Federal Reserve banks, including gold certificates that could be converted to current fair market value. They’re held at their 1970s value on the books. And then sell them into bitcoin, that way we wouldn’t have to use any new dollars in order to establish this reserve.”

「我們在 12 家聯邦儲備銀行擁有儲備，包括可以轉換為當前公平市場價值的金券。它們的帳面價值為 1970 年代的價格。然後將它們賣成比特幣，這樣我們就不必使用任何新的美元來建立這個儲備。

Lummis further noted the Trump administration's interest in cryptocurrencies, which she believes could lead to the development of digital asset legislation in the coming years.

Lummis 進一步指出了川普政府對加密貨幣的興趣，她認為這可能會導致未來幾年數位資產立法的發展。

The Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund is a comprehensive initiative aimed at strengthening financial stability and protecting the nation's assets. It involves the creation of a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, which will serve as a secure financial mechanism for the government and other agencies to use Bitcoin as a long-term asset.

比特幣戰略儲備基金是一項旨在加強金融穩定和保護國家資產的綜合措施。它涉及創建比特幣戰略儲備，該儲備將作為政府和其他機構使用比特幣作為長期資產的安全金融機制。

The reserve will feature a decentralized storage network, where the U.S. will create a distributed network of secure Bitcoin storage facilities to protect assets from centralized risks and vulnerabilities. These storage facilities will be located in different regions, reducing dependence on a single point of failure.

該儲備將採用去中心化儲存網絡，美國將在其中創建安全比特幣儲存設施的分散式網絡，以保護資產免受集中風險和漏洞的影響。這些儲存設施將位於不同區域，減少對單點故障的依賴。

The government will also implement a Bitcoin purchase program, aiming to purchase 200,000 BTC per year for five years to increase the strategic reserve to 1 million BTC. These purchases will be made regularly to avoid sharp price fluctuations and ensure consistency.

政府也將實施比特幣購買計劃，目標是五年內每年購買20萬個比特幣，將戰略儲備增加到100萬個比特幣。這些採購將定期進行，以避免價格大幅波動並確保一致性。

All purchased Bitcoin will be held in the reserve for at least 20 years. Additionally, all Bitcoins currently stored in other government agencies will be transferred to the strategic reserve, allowing for centralization and efficient asset management.

所有購買的比特幣將作為儲備持有至少 20 年。此外，目前儲存在其他政府機構的所有比特幣都將轉移到戰略儲備中，從而實現集中化和高效的資產管理。

States can voluntarily participate in this reserve by opening segregated accounts to deposit or withdraw their Bitcoin assets as needed. This initiative will be supported because government agencies cannot confiscate or seize the rights to legally owned Bitcoin assets. This will provide confidence and incentives for Americans to store their Bitcoins independently.

各國可以透過開設獨立帳戶來根據需要存入或提取其比特幣資產來自願參與該儲備。這項措施將得到支持，因為政府機構無法沒收或扣押合法擁有的比特幣資產的權利。這將為美國人獨立儲存比特幣提供信心和動力。

However, Avik Roy, president of the non-profit think tank Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity (FREOPP), expressed doubts that creating a strategic reserve in Bitcoin will help the U.S. overcome the debt crisis.

然而，非營利智庫平等機會研究基金會（FREOPP）主席阿維克·羅伊（Avik Roy）對建立比特幣戰略儲備能否幫助美國克服債務危機表示懷疑。

Speaking at the North American Blockchain Summit 2024 in Dallas, Avik Roy said that Lummis’s plan will not help cover the national debt, which has already grown to $35 trillion.

Avik Roy 在達拉斯舉行的 2024 年北美區塊鏈高峰會上發表演說時表示，Lummis 的計畫無助於償還已成長至 35 兆美元的國家債務。

“The Bitcoin reserve is good but does not solve the problem. You still have to actually do the budgetary reforms to get us out of this $2 trillion a year of federal deficits.”

「比特幣儲備很好，但並不能解決問題。你仍然需要實際進行預算改革，讓我們擺脫每年 2 兆美元的聯邦赤字。

According to Roy, even with a Bitcoin reserve, the U.S. would still have to implement budgetary reforms to get the country out of its $2 trillion federal deficit annually.

Roy 表示，即使擁有比特幣儲備，美國仍必須實施預算改革，以擺脫每年 2 兆美元的聯邦赤字。

The political scientist noted that the BTC reserve could ease tensions in the bond market by making it feel like the U.S. is not going broke. Roy is also concerned that the U.S. could abandon its BTC reserves in the future, similar to what happened with gold in the 1970s.

這位政治學家指出，比特幣儲備可以讓人們感覺到美國不會破產，進而緩和債券市場的緊張局勢。 Roy 也擔心美國未來可能會放棄其 BTC 儲備，類似於 20 世紀 70 年代黃金的情況。

Bitcoin as a reserve asset also presents several challenges, with the biggest being volatility. Bitcoin's price fluctuations make it a risky reserve asset compared to more stable options like gold.

比特幣作為儲備資產也面臨一些挑戰，其中最大的挑戰是波動性。與黃金等更穩定的選擇相比，比特幣的價格波動使其成為有風險的儲備資產。

After all, Bitcoin has experienced several notable crashes throughout its history.

畢竟，比特幣在其歷史上經歷了幾次明顯的崩潰。

Bitcoin is also typically associated with illicit activities and discreet purchases, which raises concerns about integrating it into national financial systems. Critics say it could also enable countries like Russia to bypass international sanctions, undermining global financial stability and creating geopolitical tensions.

比特幣通常也與非法活動和謹慎購買有關，這引發了人們對將其納入國家金融體系的擔憂。批評者表示，這也可能使俄羅斯等國家繞過國際制裁，破壞全球金融穩定並造成地緣政治緊張局勢。

Several cryptocurrency companies, including Ripple, Kraken, and Circle, are vying for a seat on President Donald Trump's promised crypto advisory board, according to Reuters. They aim to participate in his plans to overhaul U.S. cryptocurrency policy.

根據路透社報道，包括 Ripple、Kraken 和 Circle 在內的幾家加密貨幣公司正在爭奪唐納德·川普總統承諾的加密貨幣顧問委員會的席位。他們的目標是參與他改革美國加密貨幣政策的計劃。

During his campaign at a Bitcoin conference in Nashville in July, Trump promised to create a new council as part of a pro-crypto administration. Trump’s team is discussing how to organize and staff the council and which companies should be included.

7 月在納許維爾舉行的比特幣會議上競選期間，川普承諾將成立一個新的委員會，作為支持加密貨幣政府的一部分。川普的團隊正在討論如何組織該委員會並配備人員，以及哪些公司應該被納入其中。

Potential members include venture capital firm Paradigm and the crypto arm of venture giant Andreessen Horowitz, known as a16z.

潛在成員包括創投公司 Paradigm 和創投巨頭 Andreessen Horowitz 的加密部門（稱為 a16z）。

“It’s being fleshed out, but I anticipate the leading executives from America’s bitcoin and crypto firms to be represented.”

“它正在充實，但我預計來自美國比特幣和加密貨幣公司的領先高管將出席。”
