比特币的中国问题：政府希望它消失，但企业家不会让它消亡

中国政府在过去十年中建立了严厉的监管体系，以根除比特币交易和挖矿，并将数字货币视为对国家金融稳定的威胁。

A young Chinese entrepreneur offered to sell shares in a company that would produce hardware with chips dedicated to mining bitcoin and pay out dividends based on its earnings in August 2012, according to a post on the online forum BitcoinTalk.

根据 BitcoinTalk 在线论坛上的一篇帖子，一位年轻的中国企业家提出出售一家公司的股票，该公司将生产带有专用于比特币挖矿的芯片的硬件，并根据其收益在 2012 年 8 月支付股息。

Jiang Xinyu, also known as Friedcat on the forum, was one of the first people in the world to promote such an idea through his company ASICMiner, which used the acronym for application-specific integrated circuits. Accusations of fraud arose later when people claimed not to have received their payments or equipment, and the company went bankrupt.

江新宇，在论坛上也被称为“Friedcat”，是世界上最早通过他的公司 ASICMiner 推广这一想法的人之一，该公司使用专用集成电路的缩写。后来，当人们声称没有收到付款或设备时，欺诈指控就出现了，公司破产了。

The concept, however, persisted, and China's bitcoin mining industry flourished as a byproduct of the nation's status as the "world's factory." This was when the idea of bitcoin began to gain traction in China, as the nation became the top producer not only of mining equipment but also of bitcoin itself thanks to its affordable electricity.

然而，这个概念仍然存在，中国的比特币采矿业作为国家“世界工厂”地位的副产品而蓬勃发展。就在那时，比特币的想法开始在中国受到关注，由于其负担得起的电力，中国不仅成为了采矿设备的最大生产国，而且还成为了比特币本身的最大生产国。

“The idea of decentralised money never really got a lot of traction in China,” said Leonhard Weese, who founded the Bitcoin Association of Hong Kong and now serves as technical content lead of Lightning Labs in Vancouver. “But the idea of decentralised crowdfunding and start-ups was very attractive in China. I think people in China were just much more interested in gambling on future start-ups than speculating on what the money of the future looks like.”

香港比特币协会创始人、现任温哥华闪电实验室技术内容负责人的 Leonhard Weese 表示：“去中心化货币的想法在中国从未真正受到重视。” “但去中心化众筹和初创企业的想法在中国非常有吸引力。我认为中国人对赌博未来的初创企业更感兴趣，而不是猜测未来的钱是什么样子。”

The Chinese government has established a stringent regulatory framework over the past ten years to eliminate bitcoin trading and mining in the nation, viewing the digital currency as a danger to its financial system. Trump, on the other hand, campaigned on a crypto-friendly platform, drawing both the broader crypto sector and bitcoin true believers who view the digital asset as the future of money. Among other things, Trump promised on the campaign trail to establish a "strategic bitcoin reserve."

中国政府在过去十年中建立了严格的监管框架，以消除国内的比特币交易和挖矿，并将数字货币视为对其金融体系的威胁。另一方面，特朗普在一个对加密货币友好的平台上进行竞选，吸引了更广泛的加密货币行业和比特币真正的信徒，他们将数字资产视为货币的未来。除此之外，特朗普在竞选过程中承诺建立“战略比特币储备”。
