So, hey, my regulars will know that in addition to copy editing here at the Roswell Daily Record, I’ve also done quite a bit of work for some notable names in the bitcoin industry. The one I am most proud of — and I mean "tip-top of my resume proud" — was paid copy editing work for the influential lobbying group Bitcoin Policy Institute’s 44-page "Why The U.S. Should Reject Central Bank Digital Currencies," written by Natalie Smolenski with Dan Held, published in 2022 and circulated to the banking industry and U.S. legislators nationwide.

因此，嘿，我的常客还会知道，除了在Roswell Daily Record上复制编辑外，我还为比特币行业的一些名字做了很多工作。我最引以为傲的是，我的意思是“我的简历的尖端”是为有影响力的游说小组比特币政策研究所的44页的付费编辑编辑作品，“为什么美国应该拒绝中央银行数字货币，由纳塔利·斯莫伦斯基（Natalie Smolenski）与丹·史密斯基（Natalie Smolenski）撰写，丹·史密斯基（Natalie Smolenski）与丹·霍德（Dan Held）一起于2022年出版，并于2022年出版，并于2022年出版给银行业行业和美国立法者。

Their arguments prevailed. In a January 2024 campaign speech in New Hampshire, Markets Insider (MI) reported that now President Donald Trump said, "Tonight, I’m also making another promise to protect Americans from government tyranny. As your president, I will never allow the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency. Such a currency would give our federal government absolute control over your money. …"

他们的论点占了上风。在2024年1月在新罕布什尔州举行的竞选演讲中，市场内部人士（MI）报道说，现在唐纳德·特朗普总统说：“今晚，我也做出另一个诺言，以保护美国人免受政府暴政的侵害。作为您的总统，我将永远不允许建立中央银行的数字货币。这样的货币会给我们的联邦政府政府对您的金钱提供绝对的控制权。

In January 2025, Trump doubled down on this promise. MI reported Trump was joining "... other leading Republicans in coming out against a CBDC. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis … was the first major candidate to speak out in opposition. Vivek Ramaswamy, a Bitcoin advocate, has said ‘hell no’ to one. Tom Emmer, the House Whip, introduced a bill in Congress to ban a U.S. CBDC. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas did something similar in the upper chamber. North Carolina's House of Representatives passed a bill to outlaw a so-called ‘digital dollar’ there."

2025年1月，特朗普凭借这一诺言加倍。 MI报道说，特朗普正在加入“……其他领先的共和党人反对CBDC。佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯（Ron DeSantis）……是第一个在反对派中大声疾呼的主要候选人。比特币倡导者维维克·拉马斯瓦米（Vivek Ramaswamy）对一个人说地狱，对一个人说地狱。众议院通过了一项法案，以禁止那里所谓的“数字美元”。”

Sometimes, like now as I write this actually, I still tear up knowing that my work might have played some tiny part in all of the above being realized — in making bitcoin the law of the land. Bitcoiners, in our delusions of grandeur, know well that we are the only line of defense remaining against the New World Order, the Federal Reserve, the International Monetary Fund and the central banks’ unelected “officials” maintaining control of the world’s monetary supply. And with unbegrudging duty, we routinely sacrifice our time and some, our fortunes, to see that such a future is averted and that bitcoin wins in the end.

有时，就像现在我写这篇文章一样，我仍然撕毁我的工作可能在上述所有方面都发挥了一定的作用 - 在使比特币成为土地法律时。比特币在我们宏伟的妄想中，非常清楚，我们是剩下的唯一反对新世界秩序，美联储，国际货币基金组织和中央银行未当选的“官员”的国防线，可维持对世界货币供应的控制。而且，由于责任不大，我们通常会牺牲自己的时间，而我们的命运是避免这种未来的，而比特币最终赢得了胜利。

Breaking ranks and campaigning even at Libertarian events, Trump’s “conversion” to bitcoin was also covered here in November, a column that also opined (quoting myself), "Conversely though, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA), along with Biden-appointed Gary Gensler (D), chairperson of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, have served as the de facto face of the Democratic Party, enforcing unwritten and unclear stances on the bitcoin industry (and all cryptocurrencies that followed). Favoring not merely ‘reasonable’ regulations, which the industry has been pleading for anyway, Dems have enacted several practical chokeholds on the industry’s ability to grow in the United States, raising possible challenges to the U.S. Constitution in some cases … forcing other tech companies to move their jobs and their profits offshore. Being succinct, these so-called ‘representatives’ represent mainly the corporate interests of the legacy banking industry, which helps fund their campaigns, and is losing fees and customers to the superior technology of bitcoin, which does not require any rent-seeking third-party company to operate, to send cross-border to one’s family or to hold permanently."

即使是在自由主义者的事件中，特朗普对比特币的“转换”也在11月份进行了介绍，该专栏也被认为（引用自己）。民主党在比特币行业上执行不明的立场（以及随后的所有加密货币），不仅是“合理”的法规，无论如何，该行业一直在为这些行业提高了一些在美国的挑战，因此，该行业在某些情况下促进了一些挑战，而这些行业在某些情况下都可以促进这些行业的努力……所谓的“代表”主要代表传统银行业的公司利益，该行业有助于资助他们的竞选活动，并将费用和客户损失给比特币的卓越技术，而比特币的卓越技术不需要任何寻求租金的第三方公司才能运营，将跨境派往一个人的家庭或永久地寄宿。”

While not my topics today, two things: First, CBDCs have already effectively been renamed as commercial bank dollar-pegged "stablecoins" now — so called because their values don't fluctuate like bitcoin but hold their $1 value. Bank of America "coin," JP Morgan "coin," Amazon "coin," etc., are all on the very near horizon. The potential danger(s) in this? In 2022, PayPal faced backlash over a proposed new clause leaked before publication that would have fined users $2,500 for spreading “misinformation.” The policy was later withdrawn, but that’s just an example.

虽然今天不是我的话题，但第一件事是：首先，CBDC现在已经有效地更名为商业银行的“稳定股票” - 之所以如此，是因为它们的价值不会像比特币那样波动，而是持有1美元的价值。美国银行“硬币”，JP Morgan“ Coin，“ Amazon“ Coin”等，都在地平线上。这潜在的危险吗？在2022年，贝宝（Paypal）在出版之前泄漏的拟议的新条款面临强烈反对，该条款将对用户罚款2500美元，以传播“错误信息”。该政策后来撤回，但这只是一个例子。

Second, it’s a shame that bitcoin at least seems a partisan issue in the U.S. It is not, but those who protect the banks over the people have made it so. Bitcoin itself is the most apolitical, amoral financial instrument ever created. As renowned educator Andreas Antonopoulos stated in a social post years ago, "Bitcoin does not care — nor does it even know — who you are, what you are using it for, where you are using it, or why you are using it."

其次，可惜的是，比特币至少在美国似乎是一个党派问题，但那些保护银行对人民的人已经做到了。比特币本身是有史以来最不政治的，不政治的金融工具。正如著名的教育家安德烈亚斯·安东尼波洛斯（Andreas Antonopoulos）在几年前在社交帖子中所说的那样：“比特币不在乎 - 甚至不知道 - 您是谁，您在使用它，在哪里使用它或使用它。”

俗话说，一个没有出生证明的9岁女孩在非洲没有出生证明的情况下可以使用，只有简单的SMS就可以使用“ 20美元的诺基亚手机”
