与IMF达成协议后

圣萨尔瓦多和总统纳伊布·布克勒（Nayib Bukele）希望以14亿美元的价格向国际货币基金组织贷款

El Salvador has scaled back its pro-Bitcoin laws following pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

在国际货币基金组织（IMF）的压力下，埃尔·萨尔瓦多（El Salvador）缩减了其亲币法律。

The country's congress passed legislation on a vote of 55-2 that modifies six articles of the Bitcoin law and repeals three others.

该国国会以55-2的投票通过了立法，修改了比特币法的六章，并废除了另外三项。

Bitcoin will remain legal tender in El Salvador, but it is no longer considered "currency," and its adoption is now optional.

比特币将在萨尔瓦多保持法定货币，但不再被认为是“货币”，现在的采用是可选的。

Businesses can choose whether or not to accept Bitcoin, and the state will no longer accept it as a form of payment for taxes and debts.

企业可以选择是否接受比特币，国家将不再接受它作为税收和债务的一种付款方式。

The government is also scaling back its investment in the Chivo Wallet, the state-backed crypto-wallet.

政府还将扩大其对国家支持的加密货币钱包的投资。

El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, with President Nayib Bukele pushing through the legislation as part of a broader plan to overhaul the country's economy.

埃尔·萨尔瓦多（El Salvador）于2021年通过比特币作为法定货币，而纳伊布·布克尔（Nayib Bukele）总统推进了该立法，这是一项更广泛的计划的一部分，以改善该国的经济。

Bukele has hyped up several grand projects, including a Bitcoin city to be built around a volcano and a plan to use geothermal energy from the volcano to mine cryptocurrency.

布克尔炒作了几个宏伟的项目，其中包括围绕火山建造的比特币城市，以及一个利用火山的地热能来开采加密货币的计划。

The plan was to build the city in the shape of a physical Bitcoin, complete with laser-eyes and a light show.

计划是按照物理比特币的形状建造城市，并配有激光眼和灯光秀。

The project, however, never materialized, and El Salvador's economy has struggled in recent years.

但是，该项目从未实现，埃尔·萨尔瓦多（El Salvador）的经济近年来一直在挣扎。

The country has now turned to the IMF for a $1.4 billion loan to help stabilize itself.

该国现在已将14亿美元的贷款转向国际货币基金组织，以帮助稳定自身。

The IMF has long been critical of El Salvador's Bitcoin law.

长期以来，国际货币基金组织一直批评萨尔瓦多的比特币法。

"There are large risks associated with using Bitcoin as legal tender, especially given the high volatility of its price. We don't recommend it. In the short-term, the costs and risks largely outweigh the benefits," the IMF said in a 2022 statement on El Salvador's economy.

国际货币基金组织在一家中说：“使用比特币作为法定货币，尤其是考虑到其价格的高波动性。我们不建议这样做。在短期内，成本和风险在很大程度上超过了收益。” 2022年关于萨尔瓦多经济的声明。

Bukele's allies in congress, however, insist that El Salvador is still a Bitcoin-friendly country.

但是，布克利在国会中的盟友坚持认为，萨尔瓦多仍然是一个对比特币友好的国家。

"This is not a setback for Bitcoin. El Salvador is still the freest country in Latin America when it comes to Bitcoin," said Christian Guevara, a Bukele ally and lawmaker.

Bukele Ally及其议员克里斯蒂安·古瓦拉（Christian Guevara）表示：“这不是比特币的挫折。萨尔瓦多（El Salvador）仍然是拉丁美洲最自由的国家。

Despite the government's efforts, however, the push to adopt cryptocurrency has been a flop among normal people.

然而，尽管政府的努力，采用加密货币的努力一直是普通人中的失败。

Less than 12% of the country has used Bitcoin, and Bukele himself admitted that it "has not had the widespread adoption we hoped" in an interview with TIME.

该国不到12％的人使用了比特币，而伯克利本人则承认，在随着时间的推移采访中，它“没有我们希望的广泛收养”。

Bukele told the magazine that the Bitcoin push built the country's brand and made people think of things other than violence and prison when they thought of El Salvador.

布克勒告诉杂志，比特币推动了该国的品牌，并在想到埃尔·萨尔瓦多（El Salvador）时想到了暴力和监狱以外的事物。

But violence and prison are back in the news following Bukele's meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

但是，在布克利与美国国务卿马可·卢比奥（Marco Rubio）会面后，暴力和监狱又回到了新闻中。

El Salvador is famous for its massive supermax prisons, which house tens of thousands of prisoners in horrifying conditions.

埃尔·萨尔瓦多（El Salvador）以其巨大的超级玛克斯监狱而闻名，该监狱在恐怖的条件下容纳成千上万的囚犯。

Bukele and Rubio met over the weekend, and the El Salvadorian president offered up prison space to America.

布克利和卢比奥在周末见面，萨尔瓦多总统向美国提供了监狱空间。

The U.S. could, he said, put anyone they want inside his concrete nightmares, including American citizens.

他说，美国可以将想要的任何人放在包括美国公民在内的具体噩梦中。

Ruibo and the Trump administration are shopping around for places to house people the country is deporting as part of its immigration crackdown.

鲁波（Ruibo）和特朗普政府（Trump Administration）正在四处寻找容纳该国的人的地方，作为其移民镇压的一部分。

Rubio and the White House have said there are no plans to deport and house American citizens in foreign prisons.

卢比奥和白宫表示，没有计划将美国公民驱逐出国监狱。

But the offer is on the table. In El Salvador, Bitcoin is out of fashion and prisons are very much in.

但是报价在桌上。在萨尔瓦多（El Salvador），比特币过时，监狱非常重要。
