比特币人类采用贸易保护主义政策，令人惊讶的早期采用者

比特币资深人士埃里克·沃希斯（Erik Voorhees）正在嘲笑他没有看到的趋势。在X周日早些时候的帖子中

Bitcoin veteran Erik Voorhees is scratching his head over a trend he didn’t see coming. In a post on X early Sunday, he said, “I would not have predicted a bunch of Bitcoiners becoming protectionists because a politician told them it would help the economy.”

Voorhees’ comment was sparked by a growing number of Bitcoin supporters seemingly embracing tariffs and protectionist policies—something that clashes with the libertarian roots of Bitcoin. As several commenters pointed out, this shift seems to be linked to an interest in a specific politician's plans.

Voorhees的评论是由越来越多的比特币支持者似乎包含关税和贸易保护主义政策引发的，这与比特币的自由主义者根源发生了冲突。正如一些评论者指出的那样，这种转变似乎与对特定政治家计划的兴趣有关。

Ari Paul, founder of BlockTower Capital, chimed in to say it fits a broader pattern and that it’s "like watching half the libertarian party outright embrace fascism in a span of a few days." He says that a "large percentage of libertarians" is onverging on a "novel legal argument they'd never heard before, en masse, in a span of one week, to promote an infinitely powerful chief executive."

Blocktower Capital的创始人阿里·保罗（Ari Paul）说，它适合一种更广泛的模式，并且“就像在几天之内观看一半的自由党在一半的自由主义党中彻底拥抱法西斯主义。”他说，“很大一部分的自由主义者”正在对“他们以前从未听说过的新颖法律论据，在一周的时间内，以促进无限强大的首席执行官。”

Others were more blunt. "Bitcoiners 10 years ago: Destroy the state. Bitcoiners today: Trump said something, I j*zzed my pants."

其他人更直率。 “比特币十年前：摧毁国家。今天的比特币人：特朗普说了些什么，我j*z z z裤子。”

Some argued these people aren't really Bitcoiners at all: "The libertarian dream died for us in 2017. It's mostly just bubble chasing hypebeasts left trying to make a quick buck."

一些人认为这些人并不是真正的比特币机：“自由主义者的梦想在2017年为我们丧生。这主要只是在追逐炒作的泡沫试图快速赚钱。”

One commenter added, "It was obvious when their main goal politically was to get the government to buy more bitcoin instead of protecting developers from being jailed or self custody."

一位评论者补充说：“很明显，他们的主要目标是让政府购买更多比特币，而不是保护开发商免于被判入狱或自我监护。”

The broader takeaway from the thread is that Bitcoin's ideological base might be cracking under the weight of political influence and market speculation. One user sarcastically noted how "don't trust, verify" has turned into "trust the tariff guy, he's got a plan."

该线程的更广泛的收获是，比特币的意识形态基础可能在政治影响力和市场投机的重量下破裂。一位用户讽刺地指出，“不信任，验证”如何变成“信任关税家伙，他有一个计划”。

Even some long-time observers expressed shock. "Did not have bitcoiners cheering for tariffs to make the Fed print money on my bingo card."

即使是一些长期观察者也表示震惊。 “没有比特币的比特币要为您的宾果卡上的征收关税加油。”

Still, a few voices tried to rationalize the shift. One argument went, "Better to use tariffs than raise income taxes. At least that way foreigners will end up subsidizing part of the pain."

尽管如此，一些声音还是试图合理化这一转变。一个论点说：“使用关税比提高所得税更好。至少这样，外国人最终会补贴部分痛苦。”

But that didn't sit well with many in the crypto space, who feel the community is losing sight of what it originally stood for. As one commenter put it, "The whole point was always about borderless, free market exchange."

但这与加密货币空间中的许多人相处并不理想，他们觉得社区正在忽视其最初的代表。正如一位评论者所说，“重点总是关于无边界的自由市场交流。”

Later in the thread, Voorhees added that perhaps the shift in thinking is due to people being "sued by the government for using Bitcoin" or having their "bank accounts closed because they prefer BTC to fiat." He speculates that this might lead to a shift in political priorities, ultimately resulting in the government buying Bitcoin to save the union.

Voorhees在稍后的话题中补充说，思维的转变可能是由于人们“被政府起诉使用比特币”或使他们的“银行帐户都关闭，因为他们更喜欢BTC而不是FIAT”。他推测，这可能导致政治优先事项的转变，最终导致政府购买比特币以拯救联盟。

However, others suggested this shift isn't about policy at all, but about blind loyalty to political figures. "Cults of personality are often underestimated by the people who are outside of those targeted."

但是，其他人认为这种转变根本不是关于政策的，而是关于对政治人物的盲目忠诚。 “人格崇拜常常被目标人群以外的人低估。”

In the end, Voorhees' surprise seems to reflect a broader disillusionment among early adopters. Bitcoin was born out of a desire for decentralization and freedom from government interference. Now, even some of its loudest supporters are calling for state action, as long as it benefits them.

最后，Voorhees的惊喜似乎反映了早期采用者的更广泛的幻灭。比特币是出于对权力下放和免于政府干预的自由的渴望而诞生的。现在，即使是最大的支持者也呼吁国家行动，只要它使他们受益。
