弗拉基米尔·普京终于在莫斯科经济论坛上说出了“比特币”这个词

用白色石头标记的一天。

Russian President Vladimir Putin has finally uttered the word “Bitcoin” at the Moscow Economic Forum. A day to be marked with a white stone.

俄罗斯总统普京终于在莫斯科经济论坛上说出了“比特币”这个词。用白色石头标记的一天。

Russia Calling

俄罗斯的召唤

Vladimir Putin reacted to Donald Trump’s threats against countries that intend to get rid of the dollar. The next president of the United States tweeted at the end of last week:

弗拉基米尔·普京对唐纳德·特朗普对打算摆脱美元的国家的威胁做出了反应。美国下一任总统上周末发推文：

“The idea that BRICS countries can distance themselves from the dollar while we sit idly by is over. We demand these countries commit to not creating a new currency or supporting another currency to replace the dollar, otherwise they will be subjected to a 100% tariff.”

“金砖国家可以与美元保持距离而我们袖手旁观的想法已经结束。我们要求这些国家承诺不创造新货币或支持另一种货币取代美元，否则将被征收100%的关税。”

The Russian president reminded that “things have changed significantly economically over the past four years, both in the United States and around the world.”

俄罗斯总统提醒说，“过去四年来，美国和世界各地的经济状况都发生了重大变化。”

“His successors have done a lot to undermine the foundations of the dollar as the world reserve currency,” he remarked, adding that America uses the greenback “as a weapon to harm other countries.”

他表示：“他的继任者做了很多事情来破坏美元作为世界储备货币的基础。”他补充说，美国利用美元“作为伤害其他国家的武器”。

“The U.S. share in the global economy is declining, and it is natural that the influence of the dollar is also reducing,” he slipped.

“美国在全球经济中的份额正在下降，美元的影响力自然也在下降，”他滑稽地说。

This distrust is not surprising considering that the United States and Europe have frozen the equivalent of 300 billion euros belonging to Russia. Russian banks have also been disconnected from the SWIFT network and from Visa and Mastercard networks.

考虑到美国和欧洲已经冻结了相当于俄罗斯 3000 亿欧元的资金，这种不信任并不奇怪。俄罗斯银行也已与 SWIFT 网络以及 Visa 和 Mastercard 网络断开连接。

The West is using its control over the international monetary system to try to undermine the Russian economy, where inflation remains very painful (9%).

西方正在利用其对国际货币体系的控制力试图破坏俄罗斯经济，该国的通货膨胀仍然非常痛苦（9%）。

Thus, it was only a matter of time before Moscow endorsed Bitcoin, which Vladimir Putin has just done.

因此，莫斯科认可比特币只是时间问题，弗拉基米尔·普京刚刚也这么做了。

Bitcoin? Yes.

比特币？是的。

Despite the hostility of the Russian central bank, the Bitcoin industry has grown significantly in Russia. Runets, CEO of BitRiver (the largest Russian miner), estimates that Russia’s computing power will surpass that of the United States in the coming years.

尽管受到俄罗斯央行的敌意，比特币行业在俄罗斯仍取得了显着增长。 BitRiver（俄罗斯最大矿商）首席执行官鲁内茨估计，未来几年俄罗斯的计算能力将超过美国。

Russia already controls 17% of the computing power (“hashrate”) and the industry’s growth there is even stronger than in the United States. BitRiver has hired nearly 200 people in the last eleven months.

俄罗斯已经控制了 17% 的计算能力（“算力”），而且该行业的增长甚至比美国还要强劲。 BitRiver 在过去 11 个月里雇佣了近 200 名员工。

Russian miners will now be able to double their ambitions now that Vladimir Putin has declared that no one can stop Bitcoin:

既然弗拉基米尔·普京（Vladimir Putin）宣布没有人可以阻止比特币，俄罗斯矿工现在将能够加倍他们的野心：

“Who can ban Bitcoin? No one. […] It’s a new technology. No matter what happens to the dollar, these tools will grow, whether we want them to or not, because everyone wants to cut costs and gain reliability.”

“谁可以禁止比特币？没有人。 […]这是一项新技术。无论美元发生什么变化，无论我们是否愿意，这些工具都会增长，因为每个人都希望削减成本并获得可靠性。”

It is likely that Russia was waiting for the United States to embrace Bitcoin first. It was necessary not to scare the beast…

俄罗斯很可能正在等待美国首先接受比特币。有必要不要吓到野兽……

All eyes are now on his friend Xi Jinping. Lifting the anathema in China will certainly be the catalyst that propels Bitcoin to $200,000.

现在所有的目光都集中在他的朋友习近平身上。解除对中国的诅咒肯定会成为推动比特币升至 20 万美元的催化剂。

This outcome was inevitable. Bitcoin is poised to become the international reserve currency of the next millennium. Its stateless, uncensorable, and absolutely finite monetary mass makes it a potential reserve currency.

这个结果是不可避免的。比特币有望成为下一个千年的国际储备货币。其无国籍、不可审查和绝对有限的货币量使其成为潜在的储备货币。

Bitcoin can ease geopolitical tensions by offering the world a way to trade on equal terms. And if the United States needs to buy it before anyone else to calm the situation, so be it.

比特币可以通过为世界提供平等贸易的方式来缓解地缘政治紧张局势。如果美国需要先于其他国家购买它来平息局势，那就这样吧。
