A Minnesota state senator has proposed a Bitcoin (BTC) Act, aiming to integrate the cryptocurrency into the state's financial system.

明尼苏达州参议员提出了一项比特币（BTC）法案，旨在将加密货币整合到该州的金融体系中。

What Happened: Senator Jeremy Miller, initially sceptical of cryptocurrency, has become a strong supporter of Bitcoin after engaging with financial experts and blockchain innovators.

发生了什么：参议员杰里米·米勒（Jeremy Miller）最初对加密货币持怀疑态度，在与财务专家和区块链创新者互动后，已成为比特币的坚定支持者。

"I've gone from being highly doubtful to doing more research and learning more about it, to believing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies," Senator Miller said.

参议员米勒说：“我已经从高度怀疑到做更多的研究和了解更多的研究，成为相信比特币和其他加密货币。”

After engaging with industry leaders and attending blockchain conferences, Senator Miller shifted his stance from viewing Bitcoin as a speculative asset with no intrinsic value to recognising its potential in economic innovation.

在与行业领导人互动并参加区块链会议之后，参议员米勒将立场从将比特币视为投机资产，没有内在价值，而不是认识到其在经济创新中的潜力。

He previously dismissed Bitcoin, saying that it had "no use case" and compared it to "collectible coins." However, Senator Miller's stance changed after witnessing Bitcoin's resilience in global markets.

他以前驳回了比特币，称其“没有用例”，并将其与“收藏硬币”进行了比较。但是，参议员米勒在目睹了比特币在全球市场上的韧性后的立场发生了变化。

The senator, a Republican, also noted that the cryptocurrency is being increasingly adopted as an alternative financial system, especially in emerging markets with limited traditional banking infrastructure.

参议员是共和党人，还指出，加密货币越来越被用作替代金融体系，尤其是在传统银行基础设施有限的新兴市场中。

Senator Miller proposed the Minnesota BTC Act, aiming to create a regulatory framework that supports Bitcoin adoption while ensuring consumer protection.

The bill proposes several key measures:

该法案提出了几项关键措施：

* It encourages state agencies and departments to accept Bitcoin payments, offering an alternative to fiat currency for government transactions.

*它鼓励国家机构和部门接受比特币支付，为政府交易提供菲亚特货币的替代方案。

* The Act proposes providing tax benefits for businesses and individuals who use, invest in, or accept Bitcoin, aiming to incentivise its adoption in the private sector.

The proposed BTC Act has generated discussion among policymakers, financial institutions, and the crypto community.

While supporters view Minnesota as having the potential to become a hub for Bitcoin innovation, attracting investment and fostering economic growth, critics remain cautious.

尽管支持者认为明尼苏达州有可能成为比特币创新的枢纽，吸引投资并促进经济增长，但批评家仍然谨慎。

Some financial experts warn that encouraging state-level adoption of Bitcoin could expose public funds to significant risk, especially in a market known for price fluctuations. Others believe that regulatory clarity is needed before implementing policies to encourage Bitcoin use.

一些金融专家警告说，鼓励国家一级采用比特币可能会使公共资金面临重大风险，尤其是在以价格波动而闻名的市场中。其他人则认为，在实施政策以鼓励比特币使用之前，需要进行监管清晰度。

"I think there are a lot of questions about the wisdom of putting taxpayer dollars into an asset class that is known for its high volatility," said one financial expert.

一位财务专家说：“我认为，将纳税人美元投入以其高波动率而闻名的资产类别的智慧有很多疑问。”

However, Senator Miller remains adamant in his belief that Bitcoin represents the future of finance and that the bill is designed not to replace traditional financial systems but to provide an alternative for those seeking decentralised financial solutions.

但是，参议员米勒仍然坚信比特币代表财务的未来，该法案的目的不是替代传统的金融系统，而是为寻求分散金融解决方案的人提供替代方案。

"We can't ignore the potential of this technology to transform our economy and offer new opportunities to Minnesotans," Senator Miller concluded.

参议员米勒总结说：“我们不能忽略这项技术改变我们的经济的潜力，并向明尼苏达州提供新的机会。”

As the bill progresses through legislative discussions, the crypto industry is closely watching how Minnesota's approach might shape broader regulatory trends in the U.S.

随着法案通过立法讨论的进行，加密货币行业正在密切关注明尼苏达州的方法如何影响美国的更广泛的监管趋势

If passed, the Minnesota Bitcoin Act would position the state as a pioneer in progressive Bitcoin legislation, potentially influencing other states to consider similar measures to integrate the cryptocurrency into their financial systems.

如果通过了，《明尼苏达州比特币法》将把国家定位为渐进比特币立法的先驱，可能会影响其他州考虑采取类似措施，将加密货币整合到其金融系统中。
