川普的財政部長可能會支持比特幣

據報道，億萬富翁對沖基金經理人史考特·貝森特將自己定位為唐納德·川普政府財政部長的主要候選人。

Scott Bessent, a billionaire hedge fund manager, is reportedly positioning himself as the leading candidate for Treasury Secretary under a Donald Trump administration.

據報道，億萬富翁對沖基金經理人史考特·貝森特將自己定位為唐納德·川普政府財政部長的主要候選人。

The report, titled “Top Trump Fundraiser Lines Himself Up for Treasury Secretary,” indicates that Bessent has been actively canvassing candidates to serve as his deputies. As a key economic adviser to Trump, Bessent is widely regarded as a top contender for the Treasury position.

這份題為「川普頂級籌款人為財政部長做準備」的報告表明，貝森特一直在積極遊說擔任副手的候選人。作為川普的重要經濟顧問，貝森特被廣泛認為是財政部職位的頂級競爭者。

With a storied career as a hedge fund investor and former Yale University lecturer, he has cultivated a close relationship with the former president. Bessent is known for his support of laissez-faire economic policies reminiscent of the pre-Trump Republican Party. However, he has also praised Trump’s use of tariffs as a strategic negotiating tool, aligning with the president-elect’s economic philosophy that is skeptical of regulations and international trade.

作為對沖基金投資者和前耶魯大學講師，他有著傳奇的職業生涯，與前總統建立了密切的關係。貝森特以支持自由放任的經濟政策而聞名，這讓人想起川普之前的共和黨。不過，他也讚揚川普利用關稅作為策略談判工具，這符合當選總統對監管和國際貿易持懷疑態度的經濟理念。

Notably, Bessent has emerged as a strong advocate for Bitcoin and the broader crypto industry. In an interview from June, he expressed enthusiasm about the intersection of crypto and Republican values.

值得注意的是，Bessent 已成為比特幣和更廣泛的加密行業的堅定倡導者。在 6 月的一次採訪中，他表達了對加密貨幣和共和黨價值觀交集的熱情。

“I have been excited about the president’s embrace of crypto and I think it fits very well with the Republican Party, crypto is about freedom in the crypto economy is here to stay,” he said.

他說：“我對總統對加密貨幣的擁抱感到興奮，我認為這非常適合共和黨，加密貨幣意味著加密經濟中的自由將繼續存在。”

Bessent also commented on the Democratic Party’s stance toward cryptocurrency, suggesting they are distancing themselves due to the fallout from Sam Bankman-Fried‘s alleged misconduct and his family’s donations. Bessent criticized their willingness “to take on the whole industry because of the bad behavior of one actor.”

貝森特也評論了民主黨對加密貨幣的立場，暗示由於薩姆·班克曼-弗里德涉嫌不當行為及其家人捐款的影響，他們正在疏遠自己。貝森特批評他們「因為一個演員的不良行為而願意挑戰整個行業」。

Moreover, he made a clear statement pro-Bitcoin: “I think everything is on the table with Bitcoin.” Highlighting the potential of Bitcoin to engage a new generation of investors, Bessent stated: “One of the most exciting things about Bitcoin is that it brings in young people and those who have not participated in markets before. Cultivating a market culture in the US, where people believe in a system that works for them, is the centerpiece of capitalism.”

此外，他還明確表態支持比特幣：“我認為一切都可以與比特幣討論。”貝森特強調了比特幣吸引新一代投資者的潛力，他表示：「比特幣最令人興奮的事情之一是它吸引了年輕人和那些以前沒有參與過市場的人。在美國培育市場文化，讓人們相信適合他們的製度，是資本主義的核心。

The potential appointment of Bessent can be seen as pivotal for the possible establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve as proposed by Trump during the Bitcoin 2024 conference—a decision in which the Treasury Secretary would play a crucial role. As reported earlier today, Trump could initiate this move within his first 100 days in office to prevent other nations from gaining a competitive advantage according to BTC Inc. CEO David Bailey.

Bessent 的潛在任命可以被視為川普在比特幣 2024 會議期間提出的可能建立比特幣戰略儲備的關鍵，而財政部長將在這一決定中發揮關鍵作用。據 BTC Inc. 執行長 David Bailey 稱，正如今天早些時候報導的那樣，川普可能會在上任的頭 100 天內啟動這一舉措，以阻止其他國家獲得競爭優勢。

Renowned crypto analyst MacroScope (@MacroScope17) highlighted the massive significance of the latest developments via X: “In the months before the election, I said BTC wasn’t pricing in a Trump win. I think this continues to be largely true, especially regarding potential policy outcomes that would go beyond the strategic national reserve. Speculation is going around about this, and it will get louder. Asset managers—especially aggressive traders and hedge funds—should be laser-focused on watching how this develops. Career-making for those who get it right.”

著名加密貨幣分析師 MacroScope (@MacroScope17) 透過 X 強調了最新進展的巨大意義：「在大選前的幾個月，我說過 BTC 並沒有反映出川普的勝利。我認為這在很大程度上仍然是正確的，特別是對於超出國家戰略儲備範圍的潛在政策結果。關於此事的猜測正在流傳，而且會越來越大聲。資產管理者——尤其是激進的交易員和對沖基金——應該密切關注事態的發展。為那些做對的人創造職業生涯。
