Latam Insights Encore：Milai 的加密货币独立呼吁揭示了采用困境

最近支持加密货币的总统唐纳德·特朗普的当选以及美国史无前例地采用比特币的预期引发了担忧

Pro-crypto President Donald Trump was elected recently, and there’s been a lot of talk about the U.S. adopting bitcoin on an unprecedented scale. While these developments may validate the criticisms that traditional crypto advocates have been expressing for years, they could also usher in an era of greater control and oversight over bitcoin and cryptocurrency, given what’s at stake.

支持加密货币的总统唐纳德·特朗普最近当选，关于美国以前所未有的规模采用比特币的讨论很多。虽然这些发展可能证实了传统加密货币倡导者多年来一直表达的批评，但考虑到其中的利害关系，它们也可能迎来一个对比特币和加密货币进行更大控制和监督的时代。

Recently, Argentine President Javier Milei also made some interesting statements about the state’s move toward cryptocurrency, raising alarms about the possible effects it could have. At an event organized by Meta in Buenos Aires, Milei stated that cryptocurrencies were empowering technologies that allowed citizens to break the currency monopoly.

最近，阿根廷总统哈维尔·米雷（Javier Milei）也就该国向加密货币的发展发表了一些有趣的声明，对它可能产生的影响发出了警报。在 Meta 在布宜诺斯艾利斯组织的一次活动上，Milei 表示，加密货币正在赋予技术力量，让公民打破货币垄断。

Warning about the effect of a possible takeover, he stressed:

他对可能的收购的影响发出警告，强调：

Don’t let the states take over and carry out cryptocurrencies. Do not allow the state to put its hand in there, because – from there – they will turn us into slaves.

不要让各州接管并推行加密货币。不要让国家插手在那里，因为——从那里——他们会把我们变成奴隶。

While most agree that Milei was referring to the central bank digital currency (CBDC) menace, there is another way to interpret this call, as a new wave of state crypto adoption is upon us. As large states begin to amass significant quantities of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, they will also need to strive for greater control over the operations and transactions they conduct, given the holdings they control.

虽然大多数人都同意 Milei 指的是央行数字货币（CBDC）的威胁，但还有另一种方式来解释这一呼吁，因为新一波国家加密货币采用浪潮即将到来。随着大国开始积累大量比特币和其他加密货币，考虑到它们所控制的资产，它们还需要努力对它们进行的运营和交易进行更大的控制。

From this perspective, Bitcoin—a project born from the necessity of separating money from the state—could end up being controlled by states as they seek to assert their dominance in a hypothetical Cold War-style dispute over Bitcoin. While the Bitcoin network is distributed, a significant portion remains under the control of companies subject to regulations. Bitcoin developers, the human side of the cryptocurrency, are also vulnerable.

从这个角度来看，比特币——一个出于将货币与国家分离的需要而诞生的项目——最终可能会受到国家的控制，因为它们试图在假想的冷战式比特币争端中维护自己的主导地位。虽然比特币网络是分布式的，但很大一部分仍处于受监管公司的控制之下。比特币开发商，即加密货币的人性化一面，也很脆弱。

A state takeover of Bitcoin, while potentially beneficial to stakeholders who consider it a store of value, would undermine its original purpose of providing financial freedom to those who value it as a medium of exchange.

国家接管比特币，虽然对认为比特币是价值储存手段的利益相关者可能有利，但会破坏其为那些将比特币视为交换媒介的人提供财务自由的初衷。
