參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫對美國加密貨幣挖礦業務構成的國家安全風險發出警報

堅定的批評家參議員伊麗莎白沃倫（D-MA）從不錯過批評區塊鏈技術和加密貨幣漏洞的機會，對美國加密貨幣挖礦業務構成的國家安全風險發出警報

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has raised concerns about the national security risks posed by crypto-mining operations in the U.S., during a hearing of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.

麻薩諸塞州民主黨參議員伊麗莎白沃倫 (Elizabeth Warren) 在參議院銀行、住房和城市事務委員會的聽證會上對美國加密貨幣挖礦業務構成的國家安全風險表示擔憂。

According to Warren, “foreign adversaries” could exploit these mining outfits to spy on U.S military activities. In doing so, they would present a significant threat to national security.

沃倫表示，「外國對手」可能會利用這些採礦設備來監視美國的軍事活動。這樣做將對國家安全構成重大威脅。

“Increasingly, foreign companies are building crypto-mining facilities on U.S. soil. These mines are actually warehouses stuffed with computers that process crypto transactions and produce new crypto tokens,” she stated.

「越來越多的外國公司在美國境內建設加密貨幣挖礦設施。這些礦場實際上是裝滿電腦的倉庫，可以處理加密交易並生產新的加密代幣，」她說。

She added, “They're loud, they're hot, and they suck up a ton of electricity, which can crash the power grid. And that's why many countries have banned crypto-mining, leading more foreign companies to set up shop here in the United States.”

她補充說：「它們聲音很大，很熱，而且會吸收大量電力，這可能會導致電網崩潰。這就是為什麼許多國家禁止加密貨幣挖礦，導致更多外國公司在美國設立分支機構。

This isn't the first time Warren has targeted the crypto industry. On May 29, in a joint letter with Senator William Cassidy, she highlighted updates from drug enforcement agencies concerning the role of cryptocurrency in the illicit fentanyl market.

這並不是沃倫第一次瞄準加密產業。 5 月 29 日，她在與參議員威廉·卡西迪的聯名信中強調了緝毒機構關於加密貨幣在非法芬太尼市場中的作用的最新情況。

Her latest statement underscores her ongoing efforts to link cryptocurrencies to criminal activities and reinforces her position on the need for stringent regulations.

她的最新聲明強調了她將加密貨幣與犯罪活動聯繫起來的持續努力，並強化了她關於需要嚴格監管的立場。

In fact, during the hearing, Warren also referenced a March 2024 report by Inca Digital. She said, “One-third of crypto mining facilities in the U.S. are owned by citizens of the People's Republic of China, including people with direct ties to the Chinese government.”

事實上，在聽證會上，沃倫也引用了 Inca Digital 2024 年 3 月的報告。她說：“美國三分之一的加密貨幣挖礦設施由中華人民共和國公民擁有，其中包括與中國政府有直接關係的人。”

For their part, the crypto community isn't lying down without a fight against Warren. Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, known as the Winklevoss twins, made a significant political move by donating $500,000 in Bitcoin [BTC] each to John Deaton's campaign.

就加密貨幣社區而言，他們不會不與沃倫進行鬥爭而袖手旁觀。 Gemini 創辦人卡梅倫·文克萊沃斯(Cameron Winklevoss) 和泰勒·文克萊沃斯(Tyler Winklevoss)（被稱為文克萊沃斯雙胞胎）做出了一項重大政治舉動，他們向約翰·迪頓(John Deaton) 的競選活動每人捐贈了50 萬美元的比特幣[BTC]。

This contribution, amounting to 16 BTC or $1 million, is intended to help Deaton challenge U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren.

這筆捐款總計 16 個比特幣或 100 萬美元，旨在幫助迪頓挑戰美國參議員伊麗莎白沃倫 (Elizabeth Warren)。
