马克·安德森在乔·罗根播客上揭露拜登政府的“私有化制裁制度”

马克·安德森最近因在乔·罗根播客上揭露拜登政府所谓的“私有化制裁制度”而成为头条新闻。

Marc Andreessen recently joined the Joe Rogan podcast to discuss a concerning topic: the Biden administration’s alleged “privatized sanctions regime.” According to Andreessen, a number of politically exposed persons (PEPs) in the tech and crypto industries have been systematically debanked in what appears to be a modern-day resurrection of Operation Chokepoint, a controversial Obama-era program. Originally aimed at restricting financial access to industries deemed undesirable, this new iteration allegedly targets individuals and organizations whose politics conflict with prevailing government preferences.

马克·安德森 (Marc Andreessen) 最近加入了乔·罗根 (Joe Rogan) 播客，讨论了一个令人担忧的话题：拜登政府所谓的“私有化制裁制度”。安德森表示，科技和加密行业的一些政治公众人物（PEP）已被系统性地剥夺银行账户，这似乎是奥巴马时代一项有争议的计划“窒息点行动”的现代复活。最初的目的是限制对被认为不受欢迎的行业的金融准入，据称这一新举措针对的是政治与现行政府偏好相冲突的个人和组织。

This claim shows the troubling nexus between financial gatekeepers and government power—a longtime theory touted by Crypto Bros worldwide, now brought into the mainstream discussion. And I’m glad to see it, as someone who has been calling out the risks of such censorship from “Big Tech, Big Banks, and Big Gov” and being roundly dismissed as a spooky conspiracy theorist.

这一说法显示了金融看门人与政府权力之间令人不安的关系——这是全世界加密兄弟长期吹捧的理论，现在已进入主流讨论。我很高兴看到这一点，因为有人一直在呼吁“大科技、大银行和大政府”的这种审查制度的风险，并被彻底斥为一个幽灵般的阴谋论者。

By leveraging private banking institutions to carry out political censorship, governments circumvent due process and accountability, leaving the targeted individuals without recourse. As Andreessen aptly described, this is censorship by proxy, a chilling precedent in a democracy.

通过利用私人银行机构进行政治审查，政府规避了正当程序和问责制，使目标个人无法追索。正如安德森恰当地描述的那样，这是代理审查，是民主制度中令人毛骨悚然的先例。

A necessary stand—but an unfortunate irony

一个必要的立场——但却是一个不幸的讽刺

Andreessen deserves credit for calling out these abuses, but his advocacy comes with a bitter irony. As the driving force behind a16z Capital and its parent, Andreessen Horowitz, two of the most influential venture capital firms in Silicon Valley, Andreessen has heavily shaped the landscape of cryptocurrency and fintech investment for over a decade. This is on top of him generally being a Democratic Party supporter and donor for many years despite things like the original Operation Chokepoint occurring under the Obama administration.

安德森因揭露这些滥用行为而值得赞扬，但他的倡导却带有讽刺意味。作为硅谷最具影响力的两家风险投资公司 a16z Capital 及其母公司 Andreessen Horowitz 背后的推动力量，安德森十多年来一直在很大程度上塑造了加密货币和金融科技投资的格局。除此之外，他多年来一直是民主党的支持者和捐助者，尽管奥巴马政府时期发生了最初的“阻塞点行动”等事件。

Unfortunately, the portfolio of his firm also reveals the same imprudence and hypocrisy with a track record of prioritizing hype-driven projects over technologies that could have fortified financial sovereignty and reduced the friction of global commerce.

不幸的是，他的公司的投资组合也暴露出同样的轻率和虚伪，其记录是优先考虑炒作驱动的项目，而不是可以加强金融主权和减少全球商业摩擦的技术。

Instead of focusing on tools that could replace the need for centralized financial systems, a16z has funneled billions into ventures that have merely reinforced the existing banking paradigm. Projects like Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN), OpenSea, and Solana have done little to challenge the centralized structures they claim to disrupt. Coinbase, for instance, operates more like a traditional bank, complete with stringent KYC (Know Your Customer) processes and compliance with government demands, than the decentralized vision Bitcoin was built to achieve.

a16z 没有专注于可以取代中心化金融系统需求的工具，而是将数十亿美元投入到仅仅强化现有银行范式的企业中。 Coinbase（纳斯达克股票代码：COIN）、OpenSea 和 Solana 等项目几乎没有采取任何行动来挑战他们声称要破坏的中心化结构。例如，Coinbase 的运营更像是一家传统银行，拥有严格的 KYC（了解你的客户）流程并遵守政府要求，而不是比特币旨在实现的去中心化愿景。

The a16z portfolio: Opportunity squandered

a16z 产品组合：机会被浪费

In fact, a quick glance at a16z’s largest investments tells a tale of missed potential:

事实上，快速浏览一下 a16z 最大的投资就可以看出一个错失潜力的故事：

These ventures have generated substantial profits for a16z and its partners, but they have done little to advance the original ethos of Bitcoin: creating a censorship-resistant, borderless, and inclusive financial system.

这些企业为 a16z 及其合作伙伴带来了可观的利润，但它们对推进比特币的原始精神：创建一个抗审查、无国界和包容性的金融体系几乎没有做任何事情。

What Bitcoin could have been—and still can be

比特币本来可以是什么，现在仍然可以是什么

Bitcoin, as originally envisioned in Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper, was meant to be a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, capable of solving the exact problems Andreessen now laments. Properly implemented, Bitcoin offers:

正如中本聪白皮书中最初设想的那样，比特币是一种点对点电子现金系统，能够解决安德森现在所感叹的问题。如果实施得当，比特币可以提供：

Instead of supporting the scalability and evolution of Bitcoin to realize these goals, the narrative of “digital gold” was prioritized, turning BTC into a speculative asset rather than a tool for economic transformation. This shift, fueled by Silicon Valley’s investment dollars, has stifled the adoption of Bitcoin as money and delayed its revolutionary potential by years.

优先考虑“数字黄金”的叙述，而不是支持比特币的可扩展性和进化来实现这些目标，将比特币变成一种投机资产，而不是经济转型的工具。在硅谷投资资金的推动下，这种转变抑制了比特币作为货币的采用，并使其革命潜力延迟了数年。

The real risk of censorship

审查制度的真正风险

The resurgence of Operation Chokepoint tactics underscores the urgency of returning to Bitcoin’s original mission while snuffing out the influence of the guys who are happy to be heroes on Sunday morning while being villains every Saturday night Without robust, censorship-resistant financial systems, we are left vulnerable to the whims of powerful entities—both government and corporate. Andreessen has highlighted a real and present danger, but his own role in advancing a centralized, hype-driven “crypto economy” cannot stand without scrutiny.

“阻塞点行动”策略的复苏凸显了回归比特币最初使命的紧迫性，同时消灭那些乐于在周日早上成为英雄而在每个周六晚上成为恶棍的人的影响如果没有强大的、抗审查的金融体系，我们就会被留下容易受到强大实体（政府和企业）的突发奇想的影响。安德森强调了一个真实而现实的危险，但他自己在推进中心化、炒作驱动的“加密经济”方面所扮演的角色不能未经审查。

Imagine what could have been if a fraction of a16z’s investment capital had gone toward scaling Bitcoin for global commerce. The tools to prevent financial censorship, ensure privacy, and streamline economic activity already exist. The blockchain wars have made this clear: blockchains like BSV, with unbounded scalability and cost-effective transaction capabilities, have the potential to achieve the kind of financial revolution that Andreessen himself advocates for—if only they received the support they deserve.

想象一下，如果 a16z 的一小部分投资资金用于扩大比特币的全球商业规模，会发生什么。防止金融审查、确保隐私和简化经济活动的工具已经存在。区块链战争已经清楚地表明了这一点：像 BSV 这样的区块链，具有无限的可扩展性和具有成本效益的交易能力，有潜力实现安德森本人所倡导的那种金融革命——只要它们得到应有的支持。

为什么不支持将 Teranode 与 Amazon Web Services (AWS) 集成所需的研发？

Why not participate in solving the token back-to-genesis problem?

Why not invest in deploying true Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) and LiteClient solutions for a scalable future?

为什么不投资部署真正的简化支付验证 (SPV) 和 LiteClient 解决方案以实现可扩展的未来？

Because he doesn’t actually care about the problem. He wants to talk about the problem to pad his reputation and get back into the conversation so he can get first dibs on the next round of juicy pitch decks during the incoming bull market.

因为他其实并不关心这个问题。他想通过谈论这个问题来提升自己的声誉，并重新回到对话中，这样他就可以在即将到来的牛市期间在下一轮精彩的融资中获得优先权。

In closing

结束时

Andreessen’s revelations about the Biden administration’s financial overreach are both alarming and important. But frankly, pointing at a problem is the easy part. He is also asking

安德森对拜登政府财务越权行为的揭露既令人震惊又重要。但坦率地说，指出问题是最容易的部分。他也在问
