“我不喜歡比特幣和其他加密貨幣，它們不是錢，其價值極不穩(wěn)定，而且憑空而來。不受監(jiān)管的加密資產(chǎn)可能會助長非法行為，包括毒品交易和其他非法活動?！?/p>

值得慶幸的是，自從唐納德·J·特朗普總統(tǒng)在 2019 年以毫不妥協(xié)的言辭譴責(zé)新興的加密行業(yè)以來，共和黨的官方立場發(fā)生了巨大變化。

本月初，共和黨全國委員會通過了一項雄心勃勃的平臺，以促進美國數(shù)字資產(chǎn)行業(yè)的創(chuàng)新并保護比特幣持有者的權(quán)利。

首先，官方平臺承諾共和黨將“捍衛(wèi)比特幣挖礦的權(quán)利”。這代表著對現(xiàn)任政府政策的迫切需要轉(zhuǎn)變。

今年 2 月，美國能源部能源信息署 (EIA) 向比特幣挖礦公司發(fā)出了一項“緊急”調(diào)查，要求提供高度敏感的信息，例如所用機器的規(guī)格、挖礦作業(yè)的具體位置以及與其商業(yè)能源合作伙伴有關(guān)的合同信息。EIA 不僅要求提供所有這些信息，還承諾公布其中最敏感的部分。

這一舉措是對比特幣礦工活動的前所未有的侵犯，也是對加密行業(yè)的大規(guī)模攻擊。它促使德克薩斯州區(qū)塊鏈委員會等組織發(fā)起法律訴訟，試圖保護加密行業(yè)的權(quán)利免受聯(lián)邦政府的侵犯。因此，共和黨人承諾“捍衛(wèi)比特幣開采權(quán)”，這非常受歡迎。

共和黨還做出了其他令人鼓舞的承諾。共和黨表示，他們將“確保每個美國人都有權(quán)保管自己的數(shù)字資產(chǎn)，并在不受政府監(jiān)視和控制的情況下進行交易。”

他們也強烈反對 CBDC 的想法。“共和黨將結(jié)束民主黨非法、非美國的加密貨幣打擊行動，并反對創(chuàng)建中央銀行數(shù)字貨幣，”該黨表示。

當(dāng)然，這一切對于數(shù)字資產(chǎn)行業(yè)的倡導(dǎo)者來說都是非常令人鼓舞的。但這仍然引出了一個問題。是什么促使特朗普總統(tǒng)改變主意并開始接受數(shù)字資產(chǎn)和去中心化金融的巨大潛力？這一支持?jǐn)?shù)字資產(chǎn)的議程是如何成為總統(tǒng)政治關(guān)注的焦點的？

If there is one man who has contributed more than anybody else to changing Republicans’ mind on crypto, it is Vivek Ramaswamy. The former Republican presidential candidate and entrepreneur is clearly having increasing amounts of influence on the GOP inner circle. At the Republican Convention this month, Donald Trump Jr joked that he would like Ramaswamy to be his running mate in 2036. Indeed, ever since his presidential bid last year, it is clear that he has been one of the leading voices at the upper echelons of the Republicans guiding the party in a more pro-crypto direction.

Ramaswamy made waves in GOP circles when, at the North American Blockchain Summit in Texas last year, he released a detailed and comprehensive plan for the US crypto space.

What did he pledge to do? Perhaps the most eye-catching measure was his promise to fire most of the employees at the bloated Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and order the rest to stop trying to bully the crypto industry. Importantly, Ramaswamy defines many cryptocurrencies like bitcoin as commodities that are therefore not under the jurisdiction of the SEC.

“I think it’s nothing short of embarrassing that Gary Gensler, the current leader of the SEC, in front of Congress could not even say whether Ethereum counted as a regulated security or not,” Ramaswamy said during one of the Republican debates last year. “This is just another example of the administrative state gone too far.”

Ramaswamy has been a vocal advocate for innovation in the crypto space and the use of decentralized digital currencies as a tool for financial freedom. He has argued that the right to code should be a right protected by the First Amendment, protecting developers from the overreaches of federal agencies.

He has also said that consumers should have a right to possess self-hosted digital wallets beyond the grasp of the government. This has now been explicitly adopted by the Republicans for their 2024 election campaign, showing the practical influence Ramaswamy is having on Republican policy.

It is not just Ramaswamy who has been positively influencing Republican policy. Back in May last year, Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, brought into force a law banning any potential CBDC being used in the state. The regulation “prohibits the use of a federally adopted CBDC by excluding it from the definition of money within Florida’s Uniform Commercial Code.”

Efforts like this have been essential in making the Republican leadership aware of the dangers associated with CBDCs and prompting them to pledge action.

But arguably the most important impactful of Ramaswamy’s crypto activism is to persuade the broader Republican Party that supporting crypto innovation is in line with their political philosophy and natural instincts.

他強烈主張，當(dāng)前聯(lián)邦政府對加密貨幣行業(yè)的攻擊是“我們國家衰落的體現(xiàn)”，因為它代表著對創(chuàng)新和創(chuàng)業(yè)精神的攻擊，而這兩者正是共和黨一直聲稱珍視的價值觀。

拉馬斯瓦米也同樣指出，比特幣挖礦是“美國創(chuàng)新的前沿”，與托馬斯·杰斐遜等美國英雄的傳統(tǒng)相同——拉馬斯瓦米認(rèn)為“杰斐遜本應(yīng)是一名比特幣礦工”。這種言論似乎成功地說服了特朗普總統(tǒng)和共和黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人，他們確實應(yīng)該成為支持比特幣的政黨。

共和黨內(nèi)另一位與維韋克在數(shù)字資產(chǎn)問題上持相同觀點的重要新人物是特朗普最近挑選的副總統(tǒng)候選人 JD Vance。Vance 參議員直言不諱地支持比特幣和數(shù)字資產(chǎn)，并擁有科技風(fēng)險投資背景。他很年輕，他明白爭取年輕人選票的重要性。

那么，特朗普總統(tǒng)“再任四年”對美國數(shù)字資產(chǎn)行業(yè)意味著什么？

讓我們以總統(tǒng)的另一句名言作為結(jié)束語——這句話表明，由于維韋克·拉馬斯瓦米、參議員萬斯和其他人的努力，共和黨對加密貨幣的立場在過去幾年中發(fā)生了多大的變化。

“我將結(jié)束喬·拜登對加密貨幣的戰(zhàn)爭。我們將確保加密貨幣的未來和比特幣的未來在美國創(chuàng)造?！?/p>
