印第安纳州房屋法案将允许公共雇员投资于比特币ETFS

将比特币和您的退休基金结合起来，很快就会成为印第安纳州公共雇员的现实。

A bill making its way through the Indiana House would allow public employees' retirement funds to be invested in certain Bitcoin exchange traded funds.

一项通过印第安纳州房屋的法案将允许公共雇员的退休资金投资于某些比特币交易所交易的资金。

The bill, authored by State Rep. Jack Teshka, (R) St. Joseph County, combines two ideas.

该法案由州众议员杰克·特什卡（Jack Teshka）（R）圣约瑟夫县（R）撰写，结合了两个想法。

The first focuses on blockchain technology to potentially make the state government more efficient and secure for Hoosiers.

第一个重点是区块链技术，以使州政府对Hoosiers的效率更有效和安全。

The second would allow state employees' retirement funds to be invested in Bitcoin ETFs.

第二个将允许州雇员的退休资金投资于比特币ETF。

“It shields a little bit of the risk, but there's also maybe a good option for pensioners who want to be a little aggressive. And so, the bill does not mandate that Impervas invest in these things, but it allows them to and so, I envisioned it as an option for some folks who might want to have that as a part of their portfolio,” said Teshka.

“它掩盖了一些风险，但是对于那些想要积极进取的养老金领取者来说，也许还有一个不错的选择。因此，该法案并不要求Impervas对这些事情进行投资，但它允许它们，因此，我设想为某些可能希望将其作为其投资组合的一部分的人们作为一种选择。” Teshka说。

Teshka says Bitcoin, like any other asset, has inherent risk and could be seen as potentially unstable.

Teshka说，像其他资产一样，比特币具有固有的风险，可以看作是不稳定的。

But he added that it gives pensioners options if they want to be more aggressive in their investments.

但是他补充说，如果他们想在投资方面更具侵略性，这为养老金领取者提供了选择。

“It's become a much more popular thing to do, and a lot of folks see it as a hedge against inflation, right? It's a decentralized asset that's not tied to a lot of the traditional factors that put inflationary pressures on on our traditional sources of investments and so, you know, it could be attractive to some folks and so, again, it's really just putting it out there as an option,” said Teshka.

“这成为一件更受欢迎的事情，许多人都将其视为反对通货膨胀的树篱，对吗？这是一个分散的资产，与许多传统因素无关，这些因素给我们的传统投资来源带来了通货膨胀压力，因此，您知道，它可能对某些人有吸引力，因此，它确实只是将其放在那里作为选择，” Teshka说。

WSBT 22 also spoke with Rudi Bachmann, a professor of economics at the University of Notre Dame.

WSBT 22还与巴黎圣母院经济学教授Rudi Bachmann进行了交谈。

Bachmann said Bitcoin serves no actual purpose compared to stocks where you can expect dividend payments.

巴赫曼说，与您可以期待股息支付的股票相比，比特币没有实际目的。

“It has no intrinsic value, if anything its societal value is negative because it's used for all kinds of illicit activities. And so, I don't think that the government in any shape or form should subsidize, allow, you know, funds that that are supposed to serve the greater good, namely retirement funds, be invested in Bitcoin,” said Bachmann.

“它没有内在价值，如果有任何社会价值为负面，因为它用于各种非法活动。因此，我认为以任何形式或形式的政府都不应补贴，允许，您知道应该为更大的利益（即退休资金）投资比特币的资金，”巴赫曼说。

Teshka said the bill is an eye into the future as Bitcoin only continues to grow in popularity.

Teshka表示，该法案是对未来的关注，因为比特币仅在受欢迎程度上不断增长。

Currently the bill has been passed by a house committee and will now go to the full house.

目前，该法案已由众议院委员会通过，现在将前往全部。
