Coinbase 首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong) 加入批评美国政府出售比特币持股的行列

Coinbase COIN 首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗 (Brian Armstrong) 周二强烈反对美国政府出售其持有的比特币 (BTC/USD)，加入了政府大量购买加密货币引发的批评行列。

Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong voiced strong opposition on Tuesday to the U.S. government selling its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) holdings.

Coinbase（纳斯达克股票代码：COIN）首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗（Brian Armstrong）周二强烈反对美国政府出售其持有的比特币（CRYPTO：BTC）。

Armstrong joined a chorus of critics slamming government movements of large quantities of the cryptocurrency.

阿姆斯特朗加入了批评者的行列，猛烈抨击政府大量使用加密货币的行为。

The debate intensified after 19,800 Bitcoin, valued at $1.9 billion, was transferred to a Coinbase Prime deposit address on Dec. 2.

12 月 2 日，价值 19 亿美元的 19,800 比特币被转移到 Coinbase Prime 存款地址后，争论变得更加激烈。

"This is a huge strategic mistake. There is no price where it makes sense for the U.S. to sell any Bitcoin it has under its control," tweeted Jason Lowery, a U.S. Space Force major and author of Softwar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin.

美国太空部队少校、《软件战争：关于力量投射的新颖理论》一书的作者杰森·洛厄里（Jason Lowery）在推特上写道：“这是一个巨大的战略错误。美国出售其控制下的任何比特币都没有任何合理的价格。”以及比特币的国家战略意义。

Armstrong echoed Lowery’s sentiment, stating, "Agreed – the U.S. government should never sell Bitcoin IMO."

阿姆斯特朗回应了洛厄里的观点，表示：“同意——在我看来，美国政府永远不应该出售比特币。”

Lowery argued that the government lacks understanding of Bitcoin’s strategic value, likening the potential sale to shortsighted policies of the past.

洛厄里认为，政府缺乏对比特币战略价值的了解，将潜在的出售比作过去短视的政策。

He warned that the U.S. may later attempt to reclaim Bitcoin sold off due to ignorance of its importance.

他警告说，美国稍后可能会试图收回因忽视比特币重要性而被抛售的比特币。

Referencing Executive Order 6102, a 1933 directive that forbade hoarding gold, Lowery suggested future policies might aim to reacquire Bitcoin in a similar fashion.

Lowery 参考 1933 年禁止囤积黄金的第 6102 号行政命令，建议未来的政策可能旨在以类似的方式重新获得比特币。

Criticism of the government’s actions extended beyond Armstrong and Lowery. Crypto educator Toby Cunningham labeled the potential sale as “dumb,” asserting that the supply would be instantly absorbed by the market.

对政府行动的批评不仅限于阿姆斯特朗和洛厄里。加密货币教育家托比·坎宁安 (Toby Cunningham) 将潜在的出售称为“愚蠢的”，并声称供应将立即被市场吸收。

Meanwhile, Tether (CRYPTO: USDT) strategy adviser Gabor Gurbacs speculated the transfers could be routine custody updates rather than sales, noting, "There is also a lot we don't know. It's not guaranteed they will sell. I haven't seen any official auction information yet."

与此同时，Tether (CRYPTO: USDT) 策略顾问 Gabor Gurbacs 推测，这些转移可能是例行的托管更新，而不是销售，并指出，“还有很多我们不知道的事情。不能保证他们会出售。我还没有看到尚未有任何官方拍卖信息。”

While the government has moved 25,999 Bitcoin worth approximately $2.49 billion to Coinbase this year, analytics platforms suggest not all these transfers are intended for sale.

虽然政府今年已将价值约 24.9 亿美元的 25,999 比特币转移到 Coinbase，但分析平台表明并非所有这些转移都打算出售。

Spot On Chain indicated some movements could involve consolidating wallets or upgrading security for older addresses.

Spot On Chain 表示，一些行动可能涉及整合钱包或升级旧地址的安全性。

CryptoQuant’s head of research, Julio Moreno, noted it was "highly likely" only 10,000 Bitcoin were sold in the latest transactions, with the remaining 9,800 BTC transferred to a newly created wallet.

CryptoQuant 的研究主管 Julio Moreno 指出，在最近的交易中“极有可能”只售出了 10,000 个比特币，其余 9,800 个比特币转移到了一个新创建的钱包中。

Currently, the U.S. government holds approximately 183,850 BTC valued at $17.7 billion across various addresses.

目前，美国政府在各个地址持有约 183,850 个 BTC，价值 177 亿美元。

“The U.S. should recognize the significance of this technology before making irreversible mistakes,” Armstrong said.

阿姆斯特朗表示：“美国应该在犯下不可逆转的错误之前认识到这项技术的重要性。”
