众议员罗卡纳（Ro Khanna）说，民主党应该拥抱比特币

2025年3月11日，众议员Ro Khanna在比特币政策研究所为美国峰会的比特币政策研究所举行了简短但有影响力的演讲。

On March 11, 2025, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) gave a short but impactful talk at the Bitcoin Policy Institute’s Bitcoin for America summit.

2025年3月11日，众议员Ro Khanna（D-CA）在比特币政策研究所的美国比特币峰会上进行了简短但有影响力的演讲。

“The Democratic Party can be the party of financial empowerment, and that’s why I think it’s important for them to embrace Bitcoin,” Rep. Khanna stated at the summit.

众议员Khanna在峰会上说：“民主党可以成为赋予财务权力的政党，这就是为什么我认为对他们拥抱比特币很重要。”

This is the type of message he’s been spreading for years now, and he’s urged his fellow Democrats to follow his lead. He’s implored them to not be scared of Bitcoin but to view it just as they view other major technological advancements of our time, including the internet itself.

这是他多年来一直在传播的那种信息，他敦促他的民主党人跟随他的领导。他恳求他们不要害怕比特币，而是要查看它，就像他们查看了我们那个时代（包括互联网本身）的其他主要技术进步一样。

“My goal is to make Bitcoin bipartisan,” Rep. Khanna told Bitcoin Magazine. “I want to convince Democrats that bitcoin is a next-generation store of value that millions of people around the world use and that America showing leadership on it allows us to connect with these people, often some of the most disenfranchised.”

众议员Khanna告诉Bitcoin Magazine：“我的目标是制作比特币两党。” “我想说服民主党人，比特币是世界各地数百万人使用的价值的下一代商店，美国表现出领导才能使我们能够与这些人建立联系，通常是一些最被剥夺的人。”

For a party that often adovcates for financial inclusion, it seems almost ironic that so many Democrats have looked past Bitcoin, an open-source technology that anyone can use with nothing more than an internet connection (and, in some cases, even without one).

对于一个经常与金融包容联系的政党来说，如此讽刺的是，如此众多的民主党人已经看过比特币，这是一种开源技术，任何人都可以与互联网连接无非是使用（在某些情况下，即使没有一个人）。

With that said, Rep. Khanna made the point that, while he remains one of the few more vocal Democrats when it comes to being pro-Bitcoin, the number of Democratic politicians who have stated that they’re in favor of the technology has increased substantially over the past few years.

话虽如此，众议员卡纳（Khanna）指出，尽管他仍然是少数声音民主党人之一，但在成为竞争者方面，民主党政客的数量在过去几年中，他们赞成这项技术的人数有了大幅度的增长。

“We went from just 10 of us or so supporting Bitcoin and crypto to almost 70 or 80,” said Rep. Khanna. “It’s happening slowly.”

众议员Khanna说：“我们从只有10个左右的支持比特币和加密货币到近70或80岁。” “它正在缓慢地发生。”

And while some have attributed to malice most Democrats’ historical stance on Bitcoin, Rep. Khanna claims the issue is more a lack of understanding of the technology’s purpose and use cases.

尽管有些人将大多数民主党人对比特币的历史立场归因于恶意，但众议员khanna声称这个问题更多地缺乏对技术目的和用例的了解。

“Some Democratic politicians are not aware of how helpful Bitcoin can be with remittances or how it can be used by those who don’t have access to U.S. dollars,” said the congressman. “Many people around the world use it for both reasons,” he added, alluding to the idea that many, including some Democrats, might not be aware of this fact.

国会议员说：“一些民主党政客不知道比特币对汇款有多么有益的帮助，或者那些无法获得美元的人如何使用它。”他补充说：“世界各地的许多人都使用它。”他暗示了包括一些民主党在内的许多人可能不知道这一事实。

According to research from Coinbase, in each of the swing states in the most recent U.S. presidential election, there were about 10 times the number of crypto holders compared to the vote differential between Biden and Trump in 2020.

根据Coinbase的研究，在最近的美国总统大选中，在每个摇摆国家中，与2020年拜登和特朗普之间的投票差异相比，加密货币持有人的数量大约是加密货币持有人的10倍。

For example, in Pennsylvania, there were 800,0000 crypto holders compared to a vote differential of 80,000. In Michigan, there were 500,000 crypto holders compared to a vote differential of 50,000. And in Wisconsin, there were 400,000 crypto holders compared to a vote differential of 40,000.

例如，在宾夕法尼亚州，与80,000的投票差异相比，有8000000个加密货币持有人。在密歇根州，有500,000个加密持有人，而50,000票的投票差异。在威斯康星州，有40万个加密持有人，而投票差额为40,000。

Harris lost to Trump in each of these swing states, leaving some to speculate that the turnout of the Bitcoin and crypto voting bloc may have been one of the primary forces that swayed the election in Trump’s favor.

哈里斯（Harris）在每个挥杆国家中都输给了特朗普，但一些人推测比特币和加密货币投票集团的投票可能是对特朗普有利的选举的主要力量之一。

While Rep. Khanna doesn’t know to what extent this voting bloc impacted the election results, he agreed that it was likely one of many major factors that affected the outcome of the election.

尽管众议员Khanna不知道该投票集团在多大程度上影响了选举结果，但他同意，这可能是影响选举结果的许多主要因素之一。

“I think it made a difference,” said the congressman. “In such a close election, everything matters, and the fact that there were some Democrats who offended Bitcoin and crypto voters was not helpful.”

国会议员说：“我认为这有所作为。” “在如此亲密的选举中，一切都很重要，有些民主党人冒犯了比特币和加密选民没有帮助。”

And Rep. Khanna is not alone in acknowledging this.

众议员Khanna并不孤单地承认这一点。

In December 2024, at the New York Times DealBook Summit, Van Jones — political analyst, media persona, and prominent voice within the Democratic party — stated that it was to the Democratic party’s detriment that it shut out pro-Bitcoin and pro-crypto voters.

2024年12月，在纽约时报交易书峰会上，范·琼斯（Van Jones） - 政治分析师，媒体角色和民主党内部的著名声音 - 指出，民主党对民主党的损害却将其拒之门外，这是因为它拒绝了亲甲币和亲克赖特托的选民。

Rep. Khanna sang Jones’ praises and said that we should be hearing more voices like Jones’ within the Democratic party speaking up in favor of Bitcoin in the near future.

众议员卡纳（Khanna）唱着赞美，并说我们应该在不久的将来听到更多的声音，例如民主党内部的琼斯（Jones'民主党内部的声音，赞成比特币。

“I have a lot of respect for Van Jones,” said Rep. Khanna.

“我非常尊重范·琼斯，”众议员卡纳说。

“He spent some time in the Bay Area, so he gets technology. The party will be moving in a direction that’s going to embrace Bitcoin and other technologies,” he added.

他补充说：“他在湾区度过了一段时间，因此他获得了技术。该党将朝着采用比特币和其他技术的方向前进。”

It only seems logical that the Democratic party would reverse its stance on Bitcoin if it’s looking to pick up seats on the House and Senate come the 2026 midterm elections. But it simultaneously seems difficult to imagine more Democrats coming out in support of Bitcoin given the highly partisan political climate in the U.S. coupled with the fact that President Trump is an ardent Bitcoin supporter.

如果民主党希望在众议院占据席位，而参议院参加2026年的中期选举似乎是合乎逻辑的。但是，鉴于美国高度高度的党派政治气候以及特朗普总统是一个热心的比特币支持者，同时似乎很难想象更多的民主党人支持比特币。

At the Bitcoin for America summit, Rep. Khanna argued that Democrats shouldn’t be thinking along party lines when it comes to Bitcoin, but rather assessing the technology based solely on what it is.

在美国比特币峰会上，众议员卡纳（Khanna）认为，民主党人在比特币方面不应该沿着政党思路进行思考，而是仅根据其本质来评估技术。
