当唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）周二从国会大厦山（Capitol Hill）讲话时，他将获得第一个机会出售美国人和国会的新提议，即美国需要建立战略性的加密货币储备。

President Donald Trump will get his first chance on Tuesday to sell Americans and Congress on his new proposal that the US needs to create a strategic reserve of cryptocurrency.

唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统将在周二获得第一次机会出售美国人和国会，他的新提议，即美国需要建立战略性的加密货币储备。

The president unveiled the plan in two social media posts on Sunday, more than an hour apart, and it’s likely to raise questions of conflict of interest, considering Trump’s family involvement in the industry and the timing of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s move to drop a civil fraud case against a Chinese businessman who pumped $75 million into a crypto token that could benefit Trump’s family in the future.

总统在周日的两个社交媒体帖子中在两个以上的社交媒体帖子中公布了该计划，考虑到特朗普的家庭参与该行业以及证券和交易委员会的时机，这可能会引发利益冲突问题，而证券和交流委员会的时机则将民事欺诈案拒绝对中国商人进行民事欺诈案，该案件将7500万美元送入一个可能使特朗普的家人受益于特朗普的家人。

The first post mentioned three smaller and lesser-known cryptocurrencies – XRP, solana and cardano, temporarily spiking their prices.

第一篇文章提到了三个较小且鲜为人知的加密货币 - XRP，Solana和Cardano，暂时高涨。

More than an hour later, he added that the largest and best-known cryptocurrencies, bitcoin and ether, would also be involved.

一个多小时后，他补充说，也将涉及最大，最著名的加密货币，比特币和乙醚。

Crypto president

加密总裁

Trump has been talking for a while about creating such a reserve, part of his pledge to make the US the “Crypto Capital of the World.”

特朗普已经谈论了创建这样的储备，这是他承诺使美国成为“世界的加密之都”的一部分。

Beyond the policy aspect of crypto, Trump also has a personal interest.

除了加密的政策方面，特朗普还具有个人利益。

The company that owns Trump’s social media network, and where Trump is the largest shareholder, recently made clear its plans to invest $250 billion in the cryptocurrency industry.

拥有特朗普的社交媒体网络，特朗普是最大股东的公司，最近明确了其在加密货币行业投资2500亿美元的计划。

Separately, the SEC last week dropped a civil fraud case against Justin Sun, a Chinese businessman who pumped $75 million into a crypto token that could benefit Trump’s family down the road. As CNN’s Allison Morrow noted at the time, it’s a 180 for the agency since the Biden administration, which was working to regulate cryptocurrency.

另外，SEC上周对中国商人贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun）撤销了民事欺诈案，他将7500万美元抽入了一个加密代币，这可能使特朗普的家人受益。正如CNN的艾莉森·莫罗（Allison Morrow）当时所指出的那样，自拜登政府以来，该机构一直在努力规范加密货币。

The value of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin surged after Trump’s election, but have stalled in recent weeks. Yet Trump’s move away from regulation is exactly what libertarian-minded tech billionaires who backed his campaign want.

特朗普当选后，像比特币这样的加密货币的价值激增，但最近几周停滞了。然而，特朗普摆脱了监管，正是自由主义者有意识的科技亿万富翁，他们支持他的竞选想要的。

Trump appointed one of them, David Sacks, to be a crypto and AI czar in his administration. While Sacks has not yet released a financial disclosure and the terms of his employment are not clear, after Trump’s posts about a strategic reserve spiked the value of cryptocurrencies, Sacks said on X that he had sold all of his cryptocurrency before joining the administration. His firm Craft Ventures, however, is invested in Bitwise, an asset manager that offers crypto index funds.

特朗普任命其中一个，大卫·萨克斯（David Sacks），成为他的政府中的加密货币和AI沙皇。萨克斯在X上说，萨克斯尚未发布财务披露，但在特朗普关于战略储备金的帖子飙升了加密货币的价值之后，他的就业条款尚不清楚，但他在X上说，他在加入政府之前就出售了所有的加密货币。但是，他的公司Craft Ventures投资于Bitwise，这是一家提供加密指数基金的资产经理。

The argument for a strategic reserve

战略储备的论点

Those who support a cryptocurrency reserve say that the US taking a bold position in bitcoin could pay down the national debt at some point in the future.

那些支持加密货币储备的人说，美国在比特币中大胆地职位的美国可以在将来的某个时候偿还国家债务。

The investor Michael Saylor, who said his company MicroStrategy has more than $50 billion worth of bitcoin, said on CNBC Monday that if the US buys 10 to 20 percent of the world’s bitcoin network for a long time – decades or more – it would eventually be worth many trillions of dollars.

投资者迈克尔·塞勒（Michael Saylor）表示，他的公司MicroStrategy拥有价值超过500亿美元的比特币，他在CNBC周一表示，如果美国在长时间或更长时间以来就购买了全球10％至20％的比特币网络，最终将是价值数万亿美元的价值。

“What’s compelling about it is if the United States takes a position in the emerging crypto economy – if it buys up 10, 20% of the bitcoin network, we’re going to pay off the national debt, so why wouldn’t that be in the interest of the United States?”

“如果美国在新兴的加密经济中处于立场，那么这是什么引人注目的 - 如果它购买了10％的比特币网络的20％，我们将偿还国债，那么为什么这不符合美国的利益？”

But for every bitcoin evangelist, there is an academic or banker from across the political spectrum who will point out that cryptocurrency investments might just as easily go up in smoke, which would be an unfortunate thing to happen to taxpayer dollars.

但是，对于每个比特币传教士来说，整个政治领域都有一个学术或银行家，他们将指出，加密货币投资可能同样容易烟雾，这对纳税人的美元来说是不幸的事情。

Trump has argued the US can simply take the more than 200,000 bitcoin it currently has seized through criminal and civil actions and start building from there.

特朗普辩称，美国可以简单地采取目前已通过刑事和民事诉讼抓住的超过200,000个比特币，并从那里开始建设。

Where to find the money to buy bitcoin

在哪里可以找到买比特币的钱

There are other proposals, like the one from Sen. Cynthia Lummis, a Wyoming Republican, to reallocate money from the Federal Reserve to buy up bitcoin or to leverage the US government’s gold reserves to raise funds for the bitcoin reserve.

还有其他提案，例如怀俄明州共和党参议员辛西娅·卢米斯（Cynthia Lummis）从美联储重新分配资金来购买比特币或利用美国政府的黄金储备为比特币储备筹集资金的提案。

Both Trump and Musk have talked recently about planning a trip to Fort Knox to make sure the gold is still there, feeding a conspiracy theory. During Trump’s first administration, CNN used a public records request to obtain photos of then-Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell posing with gold bricks in the vault. McConnell even wrote his name on the wall.

特朗普和马斯克最近都谈到了计划前往诺克斯堡的旅行，以确保黄金仍然存在，以喂养阴谋论。在特朗普的第一个政府期间，美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）使用公共记录请求获取当时的财务部秘书史蒂文·姆努钦（Steven Mnuchin）和前参议院多数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔（Mitch McConnell）在保险库中与金砖相提并论的照片。麦康奈尔甚至在墙上写下了他的名字。

It’s not clear there will be an appetite in Congress for tinkering with the gold reserve or otherwise spending taxpayer money to buy up bitcoin, but there will be an opportunity for insiders to talk about it when Trump and Sacks host a Crypto Summit on Friday at the White House for “prominent founders, CEOS, and investors from the crypto industry.”

目前尚不清楚国会会有一个食欲来修补黄金储备或其他花钱购买比特币，但是​​当特朗普和萨克斯周五在白宫举行加密货币峰会时，内部人士将有机会谈论它，以供“著名的创始人，CEOS，CEOS，CEOS，CEOS，CEOS，CEOS，以及来自Crypto Industry的投资者”。

Sen. Patty Murray, a Washington Democrat, complained on X that Trump should not be looking to invest Americans’ money in bitcoin

华盛顿民主党参议员帕蒂·默里（Patty Murray）对X抱怨说，特朗普不应该希望将美国人的钱投资于比特币
