德国重新燃起对比特币的兴趣，克里斯蒂安·林德纳 (Christian Lindner) 建议下一步行动

德国政策制定者正在加大力度将区块链和比特币整合到其金融体系中。在最近的区块链圆桌会议上

German policymakers are ramping up their efforts to integrate blockchain and Bitcoin into the country's financial system. At a recent Blockchain Roundtable hosted by Fraktion der Freien Demokraten and Frank Schäffler, parliament members and resource persons discussed several key proposals to help the government achieve its goal.

德国政策制定者正在加大力度将区块链和比特币整合到该国的金融体系中。在最近由 Fraktion der Freien Demokraten 和 Frank Schäffler 主办的区块链圆桌会议上，议会成员和专家讨论了帮助政府实现目标的几项关键提案。

The roundtable, held in the German Parliament, was attended by several key policymakers, including former Finance Minister Christian Lindner and Circle executive Patrick Hansen.

这次圆桌会议在德国议会举行，几位主要政策制定者出席了会议，其中包括前财政部长克里斯蒂安·林德纳 (Christian Lindner) 和 Circle 高管帕特里克·汉森 (Patrick Hansen)。

Germany's Bitcoin Initiative: Lindner Outlines Next Steps

德国的比特币计划：林德纳概述了后续步骤

Former Finance Minister Christian Lindner was among the guests at the Blockchain Roundtable, discussing at length what the German government could do to accelerate its entry into blockchain and Bitcoin.

前财政部长 Christian Lindner 是区块链圆桌会议的嘉宾之一，详细讨论了德国政府可以采取哪些措施来加速进入区块链和比特币。

According to Lindner, there are three ways for the government to compete in this industry. First, the German government could issue bonds on the blockchain. Second, it could encourage discussions and debates on creating a German Bitcoin reserve. If this happens, Germany can follow the lead of other countries actively pursuing Bitcoin as a reserve.

林德纳认为，政府可以通过三种方式参与该行业的竞争。首先，德国政府可以在区块链上发行债券。其次，它可以鼓励关于创建德国比特币储备的讨论和辩论。如果发生这种情况，德国可以效仿其他国家积极寻求比特币作为储备。

Third, it can allow Bitcoin ETFs to enter the European Union, which is currently limited to ETCs/ETNs. Approving the trading of spot Bitcoin ETFs will give retail investors a convenient way to invest in institutional-grade and highly regulated investment options, boosting blockchain adoption in the region.

第三，它可以允许比特币ETF进入欧盟，目前仅限于ETC/ETN。批准现货比特币 ETF 交易将为散户投资者提供一种便捷的方式来投资机构级和高度监管的投资选择，从而促进区块链在该地区的采用。

Germany Reeling From Its Bitcoin Loss In 2024?

德国将在 2024 年遭受比特币损失？

Interestingly, the German government controlled 50,000 Bitcoins last year. In January 2024, the Bitcoins were seized from the website Movie.2k.com, which operates pirated movies. Around 50,000 Bitcoins were seized as part of the operations, and these were put on sale between June 19th and July 12th last year at the price of $53,000 per Bitcoin. These transactions generated over $2.8 billion for the German government.

有趣的是，德国政府去年控制了 5 万枚比特币。 2024 年 1 月，从经营盗版电影的 Movie.2k.com 网站上查获了比特币。行动中查获了约 50,000 个比特币，这些比特币于去年 6 月 19 日至 7 月 12 日期间以每比特币 53,000 美元的价格出售。这些交易为德国政府创造了超过 28 亿美元的收入。

However, not everyone was happy with the result after witnessing Bitcoin’s price surge that started weeks after the completed transactions. Weeks after the transaction, Bitcoin surged to $88,000, and by the time the United States elected Donald Trump for his second administration, Bitcoin had already crossed the $100k mark.

然而，在目睹交易完成几周后比特币价格开始飙升后，并不是所有人都对结果感到满意。交易几周后，比特币飙升至 88,000 美元，当美国选举唐纳德·特朗普担任第二届政府时，比特币已经突破 10 万美元大关。

According to market observers, Bitcoin's impressive price run to over $100k in just a few months highlighted the impact of Germany's early sales and underscored the importance of having a Bitcoin policy.

据市场观察人士称，比特币价格在短短几个月内飙升至 10 万美元以上，凸显了德国早期销售的影响，并强调了制定比特币政策的重要性。

Germany's Renewed Interest On Bitcoin

德国对比特币重新产生兴趣

With Bitcoin trading above $90k and a pro-Bitcoin Trump taking office in the US, many commentators and analysts expect better days for blockchain and digital assets. And German policymakers are making up for lost ground by revisiting the discussions to pursue a Bitcoin program. For example, Lindner spoke at the Bundestag last December, reflecting on the government’s “missed opportunity” in Bitcoin. He also shared that the US is ready to implement its Bitcoin policies under Donald Trump.

随着比特币交易价格超过 9 万美元，以及支持比特币的特朗普在美国上任，许多评论员和分析师预计区块链和数字资产的日子会更好。德国政策制定者正在通过重新讨论推行比特币计划来弥补失地。例如，林德纳去年 12 月在联邦议院发表讲话，反思了政府在比特币方面“错失的机会”。他还表示，美国已准备好在唐纳德·特朗普的领导下实施其比特币政策。
