比特幣在美國經濟中的作用正在成為特朗普政府中的熱門話題

Key members of the Trump administration are discussing the role of Bitcoin in the U.S. economy, specifically its impact on the dollar and its use as a national reserve asset, according to a report by Fortune.

根據《財富》的一份報告，特朗普政府的主要成員正在討論比特幣在美國經濟中的作用，特別是其對美元的影響及其用作國家儲備資產的影響。

As reported by the publication, the topic came up in conversations with administration officials, who prefer not to be named, during a recent gathering at the Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C.

正如該出版物報導的那樣，該主題是在與政府官員的對話中，他們不願透露姓名，在最近在華盛頓特朗普國際酒店舉行的一次聚會上

The officials were reportedly weighing the pros and cons of Bitcoin, with one advisor recounting a meeting with the former president where it arose.

據報導，官員們正在權衡比特幣的利弊，一位顧問講述了與前總統的會議。

After Trump asked if the cryptocurrency could hurt the dollar, the advisor responded in the affirmative, but pointed out that it would be better for the U.S. to hold more of the asset than China.

在特朗普問加密貨幣是否會損害美元之後，顧問在肯定的情況下做出了回應，但指出，美國持有比中國更多的資產會更好。

"Trump’s first question was, ‘Will Bitcoin hurt the dollar?’ He loves the dollar—it’s America. But when the advisor responded, ‘Maybe, and if it does, would you rather China hold more of it or us?’ Trump immediately got it. He said, ‘We want the Fort Knox of Bitcoin, not them,‘" Herbert said.

“特朗普的第一個問題是，'比特幣會傷害美元嗎？'他喜歡美元 - 這是美國。特朗普立即明白了。

One of Trump's administration officials reportedly sees Bitcoin as a viable asset for sovereign wealth funds, solidifying itself as a store of value. However, he highlighted the need for changes in tax policy for Bitcoin to function effectively as a currency.

據報導，特朗普政府官員之一將比特幣視為主權財富基金的可行資產，鞏固了自己的價值存儲。但是，他強調了對比特幣有效發揮稅款作用的稅收政策的需求。

"I think there’s going to be a nation-state competition to accumulate Bitcoin. It’s a perfect asset to put into any kind of stockpile or treasury," Herbert said.

赫伯特說：“我認為將要積累比特幣的民族國家競爭。這是投入任何類型的庫存或財政部的完美資產。”

"The problem is, how do you make it useful as currency? For that, you’d have to change the tax code. I don’t think we should have capital gains tax on Bitcoin. It makes it almost impossible to use as a currency. Even if the technology is there with things like Lightning, you’re not going to use it if every transaction needs to be reported to the IRS."

“問題是，您如何使其作為貨幣有用？為此，您必須更改稅法。我認為我們不應該對比特幣徵收資本利得稅。它幾乎不可能用作貨幣。即使諸如Lightning之類的技術在那裡，您也不會使用它，如果每個交易都需要向IRS報告給IRS。”

With several figures in Trump’s administration showing interest in cryptocurrency, perhaps we’ll see more action, not just in stockpiling Bitcoin, but in making it easier to buy and sell without worrying about taxes.

特朗普政府中的幾個數字顯示出對加密貨幣的興趣，也許我們會看到更多的行動，而不僅僅是庫存比特幣，而且還可以使買賣更容易買賣而不必擔心稅收。
