Trump described Gaetz as a “tenacious and gifted attorney” who used his time in Congress to reform the justice system. Matt Gaetz has consistently called out the Biden administration for “weaponizing the justice system.”

特朗普形容盖茨是一位“顽强而有天赋的律师”，他利用在国会的时间来改革司法系统。马特·盖茨一直指责拜登政府“将司法系统武器化”。

Once confirmed by the Senate, Gaetz aims to rebuild the DOJ, restore its credibility, and ensure that it operates in a transparent manner.

一旦获得参议院确认，盖茨的目标是重建司法部，恢复其信誉，并确保其以透明的方式运作。

Gaetz is a vocal supporter of crypto and blockchain technology. In June, he proposed to allow US residents to pay their income tax with Bitcoin.

盖茨是加密货币和区块链技术的坚定支持者。 6月，他提议允许美国居民用比特币缴纳所得税。

The bill aims to amend the country’s Internal Revenue Code to allow the United States Treasury to accept BTC as a payment method. According to Gaetz, this move will foster innovation, promote efficiency, and offer options to Americans.

该法案旨在修改该国的《国内税收法》，以允许美国财政部接受比特币作为支付方式。盖茨表示，此举将促进创新、提高效率，并为美国人提供选择。

Under the Matt Gaetz bill, the Treasury secretary must recommend rules on processing BTC payments for specific types of taxes. The bill further states that BTC payments will be converted into USD immediately after receipt.

根据马特·盖茨法案，财政部长必须就处理特定类型税收的 BTC 支付提出规则。该法案进一步规定，比特币付款将在收到后立即转换为美元。

Gaetz's nomination is part of Trump's push to legitimize Bitcoin and crypto. During the campaign, Trump promised to support the crypto industry by ending President Joe Biden's aggressive policies against Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. In one of his speeches, Trump pledged to make the US the capital of Bitcoin mining.

盖茨的提名是特朗普推动比特币和加密货币合法化的一部分。在竞选期间，特朗普承诺通过结束乔·拜登总统针对比特币和加密货币的激进政策来支持加密行业。特朗普在一次演讲中承诺让美国成为比特币挖矿之都。

Aside from Gaetz, a few more pro-crypto officials are under consideration. For example, Howard Lutnick of Cantor Fitzgerald is groomed to become the Treasury secretary. Also, Trump has announced the appointment of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

除了盖茨之外，还有更多支持加密货币的官员正在考虑之中。例如，康托·菲茨杰拉德 (Cantor Fitzgerald) 的霍华德·卢特尼克 (Howard Lutnick) 即将成为财政部长。此外，特朗普还宣布任命埃隆·马斯克和维韦克·拉马斯瓦米担任政府效率部（DOGE）的负责人。
