波紋遊說是否反對戰略性比特幣儲備？

在美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）簽署了一項行政命令（EO），於1月23日建立了一個以加密貨幣為中心的工作組，激烈的辯論在Twitter上爆發了

After US President Donald Trump signed an executive order (EO) establishing a crypto-focused working group on January 23, the heated debate flared up on X. The order aims to regulate digital assets and explore the creation of a so-called “digital asset strategic reserve.” Although the EO does not specifically identify Bitcoin, its language underscores a broader mandate to strengthen American leadership in digital financial technology—while explicitly banning the development or deployment of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

在美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）簽署了一項行政命令（EO），於1月23日建立一個以加密貨幣為中心的工作組，激烈的辯論在X上爆發了。該訂單旨在規範數字資產並探索所謂的“數字資產”的創建戰略儲備。”儘管EO並未明確識別比特幣，但其語言強調了加強美國在數字金融技術領域的領導力的更廣泛的任務，同時明確禁止了中央銀行數字貨幣（CBDCS）的開發或部署。

Is Ripple Lobbying Against A Bitcoin Reserve? Shortly before the executive order was signed, Pierre Rochard, Vice President of Research at Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT) and a prominent early adopter, posted a statement via X on January 23, calling out Ripple/XRP as “the biggest obstacle” for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR).

Ripple遊說對比特幣儲備嗎？在簽署行政命令的前不久，Riot Platforms（NASDAQ：RIOT）研究副總裁Pierre Rochard和一位著名的早期採用者在1月23日通過X發表聲明，稱Ripple/XRP為“最大的障礙”。戰略比特幣儲備（SBR）。

He asserted: “The biggest obstacle for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is not the Fed, Treasury, banks, or Elizabeth Warren. It’s Ripple/XRP. They are aggressively lobbying against the SBR by throwing around $millions at politicians, desperately trying to derail it. They did the same to attack Bitcoin mining under the Biden administration. Obviously they want to protect their marketing narratives and push for CBDCs built on their platform.”

他斷言：“戰略比特幣儲備的最大障礙不是美聯儲，財政部，銀行或伊麗莎白·沃倫（Elizabeth Warren）。它是波紋/XRP。他們通過向政客們投擲了大約$數百萬美元的資金，拼命試圖脫軌，以積極地遊說SBR。他們做了同樣的事情來攻擊拜登政府下的比特幣開採。顯然，他們想保護自己的營銷敘事，並推動在平台上建立的CBDC。”

Rochard's accusations center on the claim that Ripple aims to undermine a BTC-only strategic reserve in favor of what he alleges is a broader “crypto reserve” that includes XRP and possibly other tokens. He also revived longstanding criticisms of the company's lobbying activities, alluding to the efforts of co-founder Chris Larsen, who has provided financial support to environmental campaigns criticizing BTC's proof-of-work mining.

羅查德（Rochard）的指控中心關於波紋的旨在破壞僅BTC的戰略儲備，以支持他所稱的是一個更廣泛的“加密儲備”，其中包括XRP和可能的其他令牌。他還恢復了對公司遊說活動的長期批評，暗示了聯合創始人克里斯·拉爾森（Chris Larsen）的努力。

Responding to Rochard's remarks, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, countered via X: “Unless you are choosing to ignore the core tenants of the POTUS campaign (which aggressively supports American companies and technologies), our efforts are actually INCREASING the likelihood of a crypto strategic reserve (which includes Bitcoin) happening.”

Rochard的講話回應Ripple的首席執行官Brad Garlinghouse通過X反駁：“除非您選擇忽略Potus活動的核心租戶（這積極支持美國公司和技術），我們的努力實際上正在增加加密貨幣的可能性戰略儲備（包括比特幣）發生。”

The exchange intensified when Rochard questioned Garlinghouse's personal investment in XRP, suggesting a potential conflict of interest in his advocacy efforts. “Brad, have you ever actually bought XRP? Or just sold? Yes/no, don’t need to know how much but curious since you’re asking the government to buy XRP.”

當羅查德（Rochard）質疑加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）對XRP的個人投資時，這種交流加劇了，這表明他的倡導努力可能存在利益衝突。 “布拉德，您實際上曾經購買過XRP嗎？還是剛賣了？是/否，因為您要政府購買XRP，所以不需要知道多少是好奇。”

While Garlinghouse went quiet on this, Rochard doubled down on his allegation that Ripple stands firmly against a BTC-focused reserve: “To all who were doubting that Ripple/XRP is lobbying against the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, here’s the proof. They want to sabotage the SBR with ‘crypto’ distractions. There’s an infinite number of altcoins that are ‘Made in the USA,’ anyone can do it, nothing strategic about it.”

當加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）對此保持沉默時，羅查德（Rochard）的指控是，他對以BTC的重點儲備堅定地表現出堅定的代表：“對於所有懷疑Ripple/XRP的人都在遊說戰略性比特幣保護區，這是證明。他們想用“加密”干擾破壞SBR。 “在美國製造”有無限數量的山寨幣，任何人都可以做到這一點，對此沒有任何戰略性。”

Rochard also shared a video clip in which Garlinghouse endorses a broad-based crypto reserve rather than a strictly BTC-only approach: “Right from the horse’s mouth: Ripple/XRP is opposed to a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, they want a ‘Diversified Crypto Reserve’ instead. This is what they're pushing behind closed doors in DC, and waving $millions at politicians to make it happen.”

羅沙德還分享了一個視頻剪輯，其中加林豪斯（Garlinghouse）認可基於廣泛的加密儲備，而不是嚴格的僅限BTC的方法：“從馬的嘴裡來看：Ripple/XRP與戰略性比特幣儲備相反，他們想要一個多樣化的加密儲備儲備' 反而。這就是他們在華盛頓特區閉門造車，向政客們揮舞著數百萬美元以實現這一目標。”

Further, Rochard supported his claims by referencing a CNBC article titled “Ripple’s Anti-Bitcoin Campaign To Promote CBDCs,” which details Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen's financial backing of Greenpeace USA's “Change the Code” campaign. This initiative, launched in March 2022 with a $5 million contribution from Larsen, aimed to modify BTC's proof-of-work protocol under the guise of reducing its environmental impact.

此外，羅查德（Rochard）通過引用了CNBC的一篇文章，標題為“ Ripple的反對幣促進CBDCS”，該文章詳細介紹了Ripple的聯合創始人Chris Larsen對GreenPeace USA的“更改代碼”運動詳細介紹。這項倡議於2022年3月發起，拉爾森（Larsen）的捐款為500萬美元，旨在以減少其環境影響的幌子修改BTC的工作證明協議。

Ryan Selkis, founder of the cryptocurrency research firm Messari, aligned with Rochard's perspective, stating that Ripple's lobbying efforts to include XRP in a crypto strategic reserve are misguided: “Brad's answer is illuminating. Ripple is likely lobbying to make XRP part of the ‘crypto strategic reserve’ when in reality only Bitcoin (as an energy-adjacent commodity) makes sense in any sort of reserve like this. I’ve warned the Trump admin about Ripple for months. Toxic.”

加密貨幣研究公司Messari的創始人Ryan Selkis與Rochard的觀點保持一致，並指出，Ripple的遊說努力使將XRP納入加密戰略儲備中的努力被誤導了：“ Brad的答案闡明了。 Ripple可能會遊說使XRP成為“加密戰略儲備”的一部分，而實際上只有比特幣（作為一種能源的商品）在任何形式的儲備中都是有意義的。我已經警告特朗普管理員幾個月來有關Ripple的信息。有毒的。”
