Under the proposal, Vancouver will transform into a “Bitcoin City” and authorize the city government to diversify its resources to include Bitcoin. If the council approves, residents of Canada's third-largest city can purchase Bitcoin.

根据该提案，温哥华将转型为“比特币城市”，并授权市政府将其资源多元化，将比特币纳入其中。如果理事会批准，加拿大第三大城市的居民就可以购买比特币。

However, it isn't clear in the proposal if Sim also authorizes setting up a Bitcoin strategic reserve, similar to the one being pushed by US senator, Cynthia Lummis.

然而，提案中并不清楚 Sim 是否还授权建立比特币战略储备，类似于美国参议员辛西娅·卢米斯 (Cynthia Lummis) 推动的储备。

Mayor Sim and his campaign for Bitcoin

西姆市长和他的比特币竞选活动

Sim is one of the country's most vocal supporters of Bitcoin. During the campaign, Sim's party announced it would accept cryptocurrency donations. He explained that their commitment to blockchain technology demonstrates their plan to accept crypto as donations and teased the electorate that he will push for crypto-related policies if he wins.

西姆是该国最坚定的比特币支持者之一。在竞选期间，西姆所在的政党宣布将接受加密货币捐款。他解释说，他们对区块链技术的承诺表明他们计划接受加密货币作为捐赠，并嘲笑选民，如果他获胜，他将推动加密货币相关政策。

Sim became Vancouver's mayor in October 2022. During his tenure as city mayor, he rarely gave speeches or talks on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Interestingly, a book titled "The Bitcoin Standard" by Saifedan Ammous was seen in the mayor's office during his interview with Global News on November 25th. Many observers pointed to this item in his office as evidence of the mayor's interest in crypto.

Sim于2022年10月成为温哥华市长。在担任市长期间，他很少就比特币和加密货币发表演讲或谈话。有趣的是，11 月 25 日接受环球新闻采访时，在市长办公室里看到了 Saifedan Ammous 写的一本名为《比特币标准》的书。许多观察家指出，他办公室里的这个物品证明了市长对加密货币的兴趣。

Push for BTC mainstream adoption intensifies

推动比特币主流采用的力度加大

Today, Bitcoin continues to surge in price thanks to a growing mainstream adoption. Sim's move to integrate Bitcoin into Vancouver's financial system is just one of the many proposals reported recently. According to Jeff Booth, a blockchain author, Mayor Sim's proposal aims to promote the adoption of Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

如今，由于越来越多的主流采用，比特币的价格继续飙升。 Sim 将比特币纳入温哥华金融体系的举措只是最近报道的众多提议之一。区块链作者 Jeff Booth 表示，Sim 市长的提议旨在促进采用比特币作为储备资产。

Aside from Vancouver, a few states and governments are working overtime to fast-track Bitcoin's mainstream adoption. For example, the state of Florida plans to tap a portion of its pension funds and use it to buy crypto. Pennsylvania is also planning to set up a Bitcoin reserve. Then, there's the city of Detroit, which teases a plan to accept Bitcoin as a payment option.

除了温哥华之外，一些州和政府正在加班加点地加快比特币的主流采用。例如，佛罗里达州计划动用部分养老基金来购买加密货币。宾夕法尼亚州还计划建立比特币储备。然后，底特律市计划接受比特币作为支付选项。
