Christian Lindner 呼吁紧急进行比特币政策改革，以使德国在全球加密货币格局中保持竞争力

12月16日，德国前财政部长克里斯蒂安·林德纳（自由民主党——FDP）在联邦议院发表讲话，提出严厉批评

Former German Finance Minister Christian Lindner (Free Democratic Party – FDP) has called for urgent crypto regulation reforms in an address to the Bundestag on December 16.

德国前财政部长 Christian Lindner（自由民主党 - FDP）在 12 月 16 日向联邦议院发表讲话时呼吁紧急进行加密货币监管改革。

Lindner, who served in the outgoing administration under Chancellor Olaf Scholz, highlighted the government's inaction in capitalizing on BTC's potential during his speech.

林德纳曾在即将卸任的总理奥拉夫·肖尔茨 (Olaf Scholz) 领导下的政府任职，他在演讲中强调了政府在利用 BTC 潜力方面的不作为。

“I have not heard from the Federal Chancellor, the Minister of Economics or the leader of the opposition that a new crypto-friendly policy is now being implemented in the United States,” Lindner stated.

林德纳表示：“我没有从联邦总理、经济部长或反对党领袖那里听说美国正在实施新的加密货币友好政策。”

He further elaborated on the competitive disadvantage Germany faces, adding, “The US will use the advantages that we could also have with Bitcoin. I hear nothing about this in a central debate in the German Bundestag. What an omission, what opportunities are being lost to us.”

他进一步阐述了德国面临的竞争劣势，并补充道：“美国将利用我们在比特币方面也可以拥有的优势。我在德国联邦议院的一场核心辩论中没有听到任何有关此事的消息。这是多么大的疏忽，我们失去了多么好的机会。”

The remarks come as Chancellor Scholz faced a vote of confidence following Lindner's refusal to endorse the outgoing government's policies.

此番言论发表之际，林德纳拒绝支持即将卸任政府的政策，导致德国财政大臣肖尔茨面临信任投票。

During the proceedings, speeches by Scholz, Minister of Economics Robert Habeck and opposition leader Friedrich Merz notably omitted any reference to Bitcoin or the crypto sector.

在会议过程中，肖尔茨、经济部长罗伯特·哈贝克和反对派领袖弗里德里希·梅尔茨的讲话明显省略了对比特币或加密货币行业的任何提及。

Meanwhile, the crypto industry is hoping for potential regulatory advancements in the United States with the election of Donald Trump.

与此同时，加密货币行业希望随着唐纳德·特朗普的当选，美国的监管可能取得进展。

During his campaign, Trump proposed the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve and positioning the US as the “crypto capital of the planet.”

特朗普在竞选期间提议建立比特币战略储备，并将美国定位为“地球的加密货币之都”。

In contrast, German authorities executed an emergency sale of 50,000 BTC through the public prosecutor's office in Saxony during the summer.

相比之下，德国当局在夏季通过萨克森州检察官办公室紧急出售了 50,000 BTC。

The proceeds could have been approximately €2.3 billion higher.

收益可能会增加约 23 亿欧元。

Within the FDP, Lindner's stance has garnered support from colleagues such as Frank Schäffler, who lauded Lindner's advocacy on X, stating, “Christian Lindner speaks out in favor of Bitcoin in the Bundestag. Germany must recognize the opportunities and not leave it to the USA alone. Finally!”

在自民党内部，林德纳的立场得到了弗兰克·舍夫勒 (Frank Schäffler) 等同事的支持，他称赞林德纳对 X 的主张，并表示：“克里斯蒂安·林德纳 (Christian Lindner) 在联邦议院公开支持比特币。德国必须认识到机遇，而不是把它留给美国。最后！”

Already on December 13, Schäffler wrote via X: “Bundesbank and ECB should include Bitcoin in their currency reserves.”

早在 12 月 13 日，舍夫勒就通过 X 写道：“德国央行和欧洲央行应该将比特币纳入其货币储备中。”

The German crypto community has been actively discussing the implications of Lindner's statements, particularly in the context of the impending federal elections.

德国加密货币社区一直在积极讨论 Lindner 声明的影响，特别是在即将举行的联邦选举的背景下。

With the FDP experiencing significant declines in the polls, some speculate that Lindner may be strategically using BTC as a focal point to regain political traction, drawing parallels to President-elect Trump's successful pro-Bitcoin rhetoric.

随着自由民主党在民意调查中的支持率大幅下降，一些人猜测林德纳可能会战略性地利用比特币作为焦点来重新获得政治吸引力，这与当选总统特朗普成功的支持比特币的言论相似。

However, not all reactions have been favorable. Noted German crypto expert Furkan Yildirim expressed skepticism on X, writing, “The man had almost 4 years as finance minister to have the necessary debates, and now that there’s a fire, he notices? Bitcoin doesn't need politicians. Politicians need Bitcoin.”

然而，并非所有反应都是有利的。著名的德国加密货币专家 Furkan Yildirim 对 X 表示怀疑，他写道：“这个人担任财政部长近 4 年，有必要进行必要的辩论，现在发生了火灾，他注意到了吗？比特币不需要政客。政客需要比特币。”
