行业观察人士称，特朗普让美国成为“比特币超级大国”的承诺不太可能实现

当故事发展时，《独立报》就向大型科技公司提供了气候变化的主动权。无论是调查埃隆·马斯克支持特朗普的政治行动委员会的财务状况，还是制作我们最新的纪录片《The A Word》（该纪录片揭示了美国妇女争取生育权的斗争），我们都知道从事实中剖析出事实是多么重要。消息传递。

Former President Donald Trump's campaign promise to ensure that all remaining Bitcoin is mined in the U.S. is likely to remain unfulfilled, industry observers have told Bloomberg News.

行业观察人士告诉彭博新闻社，前总统唐纳德·特朗普的竞选承诺，即确保所有剩余的比特币都在美国开采，很可能仍未兑现。

“It is a Trump-like comment but it is definitely not in reality,” Ethan Vera, chief operating officer at Seattle-based Luxor Technology, which provides software and service to cryptocurrency miners, told the outlet.

“这是特朗普式的评论，但绝对不是现实，”总部位于西雅图的 Luxor Technology 首席运营官伊森·维拉 (Ethan Vera) 告诉媒体，该公司为加密货币矿工提供软件和服务。

Bitcoin is created through a process known as mining, in which operations use high-powered, fuel hungry computers to solve complicated math problems used to validate transactions in the network and post them to a public ledger, known as the blockchain.

比特币是通过称为挖矿的过程创建的，在该过程中，操作使用高性能、耗油量大的计算机来解决复杂的数学问题，用于验证网络中的交易并将其发布到称为区块链的公共分类账中。

Crypto mining companies who solve these problems first are rewarded with payment, including in Bitcoin itself, a currency whose overall supply is currently capped at 21 million coins, not all of which have been issued.

首先解决这些问题的加密货币挖矿公司将获得报酬，其中包括比特币本身，这种货币的总供应量目前上限为 2100 万枚，但尚未全部发行。

But several obstacles stand in the way of Mr Trump's goal to ensure that all remaining Bitcoin is mined in the U.S.

但特朗普确保所有剩余比特币均在美国开采的目标面临着一些障碍

Bitcoin mining is distributed across the world, especially in regions with access to cheap and abundant energy to power the data centers used to mine crypto.

比特币挖矿分布在世界各地，特别是在能够获得廉价且丰富的能源来为用于挖掘加密货币的数据中心供电的地区。

According to the U.S. government's Energy Information Administration, less than half of all crypto mining currently takes place in the U.S.

根据美国政府能源信息管理局的数据，目前不到一半的加密货币挖矿活动发生在美国

Aside from offering favorable regulation and energy prices to entice operators in the decentralized currency to relocate to the U.S., there is little Mr Trump can do to alter this distribution.

除了提供有利的监管和能源价格来吸引去中心化货币运营商迁往美国之外，特朗普几乎无法改变这种分布。

However, it is unclear how successful this approach would be or how long it would take.

然而，目前尚不清楚这种方法有多成功或需要多长时间。

Furthermore, a trade war with China, as Mr Trump has proposed, would drive up costs in the U.S., as most miners use Chinese-made computers.

此外，正如特朗普所提议的那样，与中国的贸易战将推高美国的成本，因为大多数矿商使用中国制造的计算机。

Despite this, the Trump campaign actively courted the crypto industry throughout his 2024 campaign, promising to make the U.S. a “Bitcoin superpower,” with the government even buying a strategic reserve of cryptocurrency, despite Mr Trump once dismissing crypto as “based on thin air.”

尽管如此，特朗普竞选团队在 2024 年竞选期间积极讨好加密货币行业，承诺让美国成为“比特币超级大国”，政府甚至购买加密货币战略储备，尽管特朗普曾将加密货币视为“凭空而来”。 ”。

Mr Trump also pledged to fire Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, who is seen as an adversary by the industry.

特朗普还承诺解雇被业界视为对手的美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler)。

In September, Mr Trump even launched his own crypto venture.

九月份，特朗普甚至推出了自己的加密货币企业。

The industry, in turn, has lavished support on the Trump campaign.

反过来，该行业也为特朗普竞选活动提供了大量支持。

It donated over $200m to Mr Trump and his allies, with contributions coming from firms involved in crypto, such as Ripple, Coinbase, and venture capital powerhouse Andreessen Horowitz.

它向特朗普及其盟友捐赠了超过 2 亿美元，捐款来自 Ripple、Coinbase 和风险投资巨头 Andreessen Horowitz 等加密货币公司。

Bitcoin reached a record high price in December, owing in part to optimism over the incoming administration.

比特币在 12 月创下历史新高，部分原因是对即将上任的政府的乐观情绪。

Crypto exchanges Coinbase and Kraken have each donated $1m to the Trump inaugural committee.

加密货币交易所 Coinbase 和 Kraken 已分别向特朗普就职委员会捐赠 100 万美元。

They join inauguration donors including Amazon and Meta, as the tech industry seeks to build close ties with the new White House.

随着科技行业寻求与新白宫建立密切联系，他们加入了包括亚马逊和 Meta 在内的就职捐赠者行列。

As The Independent has reported, the 2024 marked a sea change in tech politics, with many top figures in the industry, including Elon Musk, breaking from their traditional Democratic allies and throwing their support behind Republicans.

正如《独立报》报道的那样，2024 年标志着科技政治发生了翻天覆地的变化，包括埃隆·马斯克在内的许多业内顶尖人物都脱离了传统的民主党盟友，转而支持共和党。
