RFK Jr. Blames Big Banks For Turning Congressmembers Against Bitcoin: 'We Need To Make Sure That People ... Have Transactional Freedom'
A presidential candidate on Friday weighed on the debate about Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), as the cryptocurrency space gets its mojo back.
周五，一位总统候选人对有关比特币（加密货币：BTC）的辩论进行了权衡，因为加密货币领域恢复了魔力。
What Happened: Robert Kennedy Jr, who is contending in the 2024 general election as an independent candidate, said in an CNBC interview that he continues to hold Bitcoin. He also delved into why some Congressmembers across party lines are calling for a ban on the apex crypto.
发生了什么：作为独立候选人参加2024年大选的小罗伯特·肯尼迪在接受CNBC采访时表示，他继续持有比特币。他还深入探讨了为什么一些跨党派的国会议员呼吁禁止顶级加密货币。
Kennedy claimed that these members are being paid by BlackRock, JP Morgan and "all the big globalist banking monopolies that are making money on inflation and making money by the Fed printing money."
肯尼迪声称，这些成员的薪水来自贝莱德、摩根大通和 “所有靠通货膨胀赚钱、通过美联储印钞赚钱的全球主义银行业垄断企业”。
"But American people, the American middle class is getting rolled ... and we need to make [Bitcoin] transactionally available to the middle class," Kennedy said.
肯尼迪说：“但是美国人民，美国的中产阶级正在崛起... 我们需要通过交易方式向中产阶级提供 [比特币]。”
"We need to make sure that people who want to protect themselves against inflation, can have this, but also that they have transactional freedom and the government is not, you know, able now to digitalize our currencies," he added, referring to the truckers strike in Canada, when the government clamped down on workers by shutting their bank accounts.
他在谈到加拿大卡车司机罢工时补充说：“我们需要确保想要保护自己免受通货膨胀影响的人能够拥有这个，但也要确保他们有交易自由，而且你知道，政府现在无法将我们的货币数字化，” 他指的是加拿大的卡车司机罢工，当时政府通过关闭他们的银行账户来限制工人。
"The government could control their speech by controlling their transactional freedom. And you know, transactional freedom is as important as freedom of speech. And you only get that from Bitcoin," Kennedy said.
“政府可以通过控制他们的交易自由来控制他们的言论。而且你知道，交易自由与言论自由一样重要。而且你只能从比特币中获得，” 肯尼迪说。
"We're not going to get that, you know, as long as the government controls our, our digitalized currency."
“你知道，只要政府控制我们的数字化货币，我们就不会明白。”
Why It's Important: Donald Trump, who is the frontrunner in the Republican primary race, held a negative view of Bitcoin not long ago. Since then, he may have had a slight change of heart. When asked about the apex crypto ahead of the South Carolina primary elections, he said, "I can live with it."
为什么重要：共和党初选的领跑者唐纳德·特朗普不久前对比特币持负面看法。从那以后，他可能略有改变主意。当被问及南卡罗来纳州初选前的顶级加密货币时，他说：“我可以忍受。”
Trump, however, has come out against central bank digital currency. "As your president, I will never allow the creation of a central bank digital currency," he said during one of his campaign speeches.
但是，特朗普反对中央银行的数字货币。他在一次竞选演讲中说：“作为你们的总统，我永远不会允许创建中央银行的数字货币。”
"Such a currency would give a federal government, our federal government, the absolute control over your money." Trump said. "They could take your money. You wouldn't even know it was gone. This would be a dangerous threat to freedom."
“这种货币将赋予联邦政府，即我们的联邦政府，对你的资金的绝对控制权。”特朗普说。“他们可能会拿走你的钱。你甚至不会知道它已经消失了。这将是对自由的危险威胁。”
Bitcoin is often considered an inflation hedge, given its fixed supply. New coins cannot enter circulation, thereby keeping inflationary pressure at bay,
鉴于其固定供应，比特币通常被视为通胀对冲工具。新硬币无法进入流通，从而抑制通货膨胀压力，
At last check, Bitcoin edged down 0.39% at $61,940.43, according to Benzinga Pro data.
根据Benzinga Pro的数据，在最后一次检查中，比特币小幅下跌0.39％，至61,940.43美元。
