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.
週五，一位總統候選人對有關比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）的辯論進行了權衡，因爲加密貨幣領域恢復了魔力。
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.
發生了什麼：作爲獨立候選人蔘加2024年大選的小羅伯特·肯尼迪在接受CNBC採訪時表示，他繼續持有比特幣。他還深入探討了爲什麼一些跨黨派的國會議員呼籲禁止頂級加密貨幣。
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."
肯尼迪聲稱，這些成員的薪水來自貝萊德、摩根大通和 “所有靠通貨膨脹賺錢、通過聯儲局印鈔賺錢的全球主義銀行業壟斷企業”。
"But American people, the American middle class is getting rolled ... and we need to make [Bitcoin] transactionally available to the middle class," Kennedy said.
肯尼迪說：“但是美國人民，美國的中產階級正在崛起... 我們需要通過交易方式向中產階級提供 [比特幣]。”
"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.
他在談到加拿大卡車司機罷工時補充說：“我們需要確保想要保護自己免受通貨膨脹影響的人能夠擁有這個，但也要確保他們有交易自由，而且你知道，政府現在無法將我們的貨幣數字化，” 他指的是加拿大的卡車司機罷工，當時政府通過關閉他們的銀行賬戶來限制工人。
"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.
“政府可以通過控制他們的交易自由來控制他們的言論。而且你知道，交易自由與言論自由一樣重要。而且你只能從比特幣中獲得，” 肯尼迪說。
"We're not going to get that, you know, as long as the government controls our, our digitalized currency."
“你知道，只要政府控制我們的數字化貨幣，我們就不會明白。”
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."
爲什麼重要：共和黨初選的領跑者唐納德·特朗普不久前對比特幣持負面看法。從那以後，他可能略有改變主意。當被問及南卡羅來納州初選前的頂級加密貨幣時，他說：“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，特朗普反對中央銀行的數字貨幣。他在一次競選演講中說：“作爲你們的總統，我永遠不會允許創建中央銀行的數字貨幣。”
"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."
“這種貨幣將賦予聯邦政府，即我們的聯邦政府，對你的資金的絕對控制權。”特朗普說。“他們可能會拿走你的錢。你甚至不會知道它已經消失了。這將是對自由的危險威脅。”
Bitcoin is often considered an inflation hedge, given its fixed supply. New coins cannot enter circulation, thereby keeping inflationary pressure at bay,
鑑於其固定供應，比特幣通常被視爲通脹對沖工具。新硬幣無法進入流通，從而抑制通貨膨脹壓力，
At last check, Bitcoin edged down 0.39% at $61,940.43, according to Benzinga Pro data.
根據Benzinga Pro的數據，在最後一次檢查中，比特幣小幅下跌0.39％，至61,940.43美元。
