Bitcoin is to its devotees what the wafer is to Catholics — an article of faith. It also goes with a collection box. It is a safe bet that Donald Trump’s recent conversion to bitcoin is motivated by the big donations that come with it. Which puts his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris in a bind. Harris would like to protect retail investors from an asset class that often resembles a Ponzi scheme. But America has an army of crypto investors — roughly 40mn — that in a tight election cannot be disrespected.
比特币对其信徒而言,犹如圣饼之于天主教徒——一种信仰象征。它也伴随着一个募捐箱。可以肯定的是,唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)最近转向比特币,是因为随之而来的巨额捐款。这让他的民主党对手卡玛拉•哈里斯(Kamala Harris)陷入了两难境地。哈里斯希望保护散户投资者免受常常类似庞氏骗局的资产类别的伤害。但在一场激烈的选举中,拥有大约4000万加密货币投资者的美国,这些投资者不容忽视。
