NYDIG分析師說

紐約數字投資集團（NYDIG）全球研究負責人格雷格·奇普拉羅（Greg Cipolaro）在3月21日的註釋中說，包括埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）在內的特朗普政府官員已經使用區塊鏈來追踪美國黃金和政府支出

An idea to tokenize or track U.S. gold reserves to make their movements transparent on a cryptocurrency blockchain won’t work in the same trustless way as Bitcoin does, but doing so could help the coin, a research analyst says.

一位研究分析師說，一個使我們的黃金儲備的想法使他們的動作在加密貨幣區塊鏈上透明的想法不會像比特幣一樣無信任的方式工作，但是這樣做可以幫助硬幣。

Global macroeconomic research head at New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG) Greg Cipolaro said in a March 21 note that Trump administration officials, and later Elon Musk, have floated using a blockchain to track U.S. gold and government spending — an idea supported by crypto executives.

紐約數字投資集團（NYDIG）的全球宏觀經濟研究負責人格雷格·奇普拉羅（Greg Cipolaro）在3月21日的一份說明中說，特朗普政府官員和後來的埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）使用區塊鏈浮動，以跟踪我們的黃金和政府支出 - 這是加密高管支持的想法。

“Here’s the thing about blockchains. They’re not very smart. They’re limited in the information they convey. For example, Bitcoin has no idea what the price of Bitcoin is or even the current time,” Cipolaro said.

Cipolaro說：“這是關於區塊鏈的事情。它們不是很聰明。它們在傳達的信息中有限。例如，比特幣不知道比特幣的價格是多少，甚至是當前的時間。”

He said the tokenization or tracking of gold reserves on a blockchain could help with audits and transparency but would still "rely on trust and coordination with central entities" compared to Bitcoin, which "was designed to explicitly remove centralized entities."

他說，與比特幣相比，與“旨在明確刪除集中式實體”相比，區塊鏈上的銀色儲備的令牌化或跟踪可能有助於審計和透明度，但仍將“依靠與中央實體的信任和協調”。

Cipolaro added that tokenization and blockchain-tracking ideas aren’t competitive with the crypto market and might help to increase awareness of it, which "could ultimately benefit Bitcoin."

Cipolaro補充說，令牌化和區塊鏈跟踪的想法與加密貨幣市場沒有競爭力，可能有助於提高人們對它的認識，這“最終可能會使比特幣受益”。

It comes amid calls from some for an independent audit of the United States’ gold reserves.

有些人呼籲對美國黃金儲備進行獨立審核的呼籲。

Republican Senator Rand Paul last month seemingly called on Musk’s federal cost-cutting project to investigate the U.S. government’s gold stash at the Bullion Depository in Fort Knox, which the U.S. Mint says holds nearly half of the country’s gold.

共和黨參議員蘭德·保羅（Rand Paul）上個月似乎呼籲馬斯克（Musk）的聯邦削減成本項目調查美國政府在諾克斯堡（Fort Knox）的金條存放地點的黃金藏匿處，美國造幣廠稱，該項目持有該國近一半的黃金。

The Treasury audits and publishes reports on gold holdings at Fort Knox and other locations across the U.S. every month, but President Donald Trump and Musk have both chatted up decades-old conspiracy theories about the gold and questioned whether it’s still all there.

財政部審計並發布了每個月在諾克斯堡和美國其他地區黃金控股的報告，但唐納德·特朗普和馬斯克總統都聊了數十年的關於黃金的陰謀論，並質疑它是否仍然在那裡。

Is time to audit the Fed, close down the deep state and inspect the gold at Fort Knox.

是時候審核美聯儲，關閉深度狀態並在諾克斯堡檢查黃金。

They have both pushed for an independent audit of Fort Knox. The vaults were last opened in 2017 for Trump’s then-Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to view the gold and before that, in 1974 to a congressional delegation and a group of journalists.

他們倆都在推動對諾克斯堡的獨立審核。拱頂最後一次於2017年開放，當時特朗普當時的財政部長史蒂夫·姆努欽（Steve Mnuchin）觀看黃金，在此之前，在1974年，國會代表團和一群記者。

The Mint’s website says that no gold has went in or out of Fort Knox “for many years,” except for “very small quantities” used to test the gold’s purity during audits.

造幣廠的網站說，除了在審計期間測試黃金純度的“非常少量”以外，沒有黃金進出諾克斯堡。

Trump’s Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, said last month that Fort Knox is audited every year and “all the gold is present and accounted for.”

特朗普的財政部長斯科特·貝斯特（Scott Bessent）上個月表示，諾克斯堡每年都會受到審核，“所有的黃金都在場並考慮到。”
