Mayor Sim Proposes Making Vancouver a ‘Bitcoin-Friendly City’

辛市长提议将温哥华打造成“比特币友好城市”

Mayor Ken Sim intends to make Vancouver a “Bitcoin-friendly city” in a motion set to be introduced in early December.

市长 Ken Sim 计划在 12 月初提出一项动议，将温哥华打造成“比特币友好城市”。

In a recent city council meeting, Sim revealed that on December 11, he would introduce a new motion titled “Preserving of the city’s purchasing power through diversification of financial resources: Becoming a Bitcoin-friendly city.”

在最近的一次市议会会议上，Sim 透露，他将在 12 月 11 日提出一项题为“通过金融资源多元化保护城市购买力：成为比特币友好城市”的新动议。

He didn’t reveal any details about what the motion proposes and has not responded to any media questions. However, local experts believe the mayor wants to channel some of the state’s funds into purchasing BTC as a reserve asset.

他没有透露有关动议提议的任何细节，也没有回应任何媒体提问。然而，当地专家认为，市长希望引导部分国家资金购买比特币作为储备资产。

This would align with similar proposals made by United States President Donald Trump on the campaign trail to invest billions in BTC as a national reserve asset. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has confirmed that she intends to introduce the BITCOIN Act as soon as Trump assumes office, which would allow the U.S. government to hold BTC.

这与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在竞选过程中提出的类似提议相一致，即投资数十亿美元作为国家储备资产。怀俄明州共和党参议员辛西娅·鲁米斯 (Cynthia Lummis) 证实，她打算在特朗普上任后立即推出比特币法案，允许美国政府持有比特币。

In Pennsylvania, a state representative recently introduced a similar bill that allows the state to hold BTC as a strategic reserve asset.

在宾夕法尼亚州，州代表最近提出了一项类似的法案，允许该州持有比特币作为战略储备资产。

In South America, a Brazilian legislator recently introduced a new legislation that seeks to allocate 5% of the country’s international reserves to digital assets, taking a cue from the United States.

在南美洲，巴西立法者最近提出了一项新立法，寻求将该国国际储备的 5% 分配给数字资产，效仿美国。

Beyond reserve asset status, some say Mayor Sim could allow some city hall payments to be made in BTC. Vancouver wouldn’t be the first city in Canada to accept BTC payments. However, all the other local governments only accept BTC on paper; essentially, the payment processor converts the BTC immediately to Canadian dollars, and the city never touches it.

除了储备资产地位之外，有人表示 Sim 市长可能会允许用 BTC 支付市政厅的部分款项。温哥华并不是加拿大第一个接受比特币支付的城市。然而，所有其他地方政府只接受纸质的 BTC；本质上，支付处理商会立即将比特币兑换成加元，而市政府从不碰它。

As a digital currency, BTC is fundamentally flawed. Its costs have remained prohibitive, and its settlement time is slow, making it impractical for day-to-day payments.

作为一种数字货币，BTC 存在根本性缺陷。其成本仍然令人望而却步，而且结算时间很慢，这使得它对于日常支付来说不切实际。

Only a blockchain that scales unboundedly like BSV can deliver Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision of Bitcoin, which was for a “purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash.” Bitcoin is already the fastest blockchain globally, and with the upcoming Teranode upgrade, it will process over a million transactions per second (TPS), making it the only enterprise-ready network in the world.

只有像 BSV 这样无限扩展的区块链才能实现中本聪的比特币愿景，即“纯粹的点对点版本的电子现金”。比特币已经是全球最快的区块链，随着即将到来的 Teranode 升级，它将每秒处理超过一百万笔交易 (TPS)，使其成为世界上唯一的企业级网络。
