Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong: 'The US Government Should Never Sell Bitcoin'
Armstrong echoed Lowery's sentiment, stating, "Agreed – the U.S. government should never sell Bitcoin IMO."Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong on Tuesday voiced strong opposition to the U.S. government selling its Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) holdings, joining a chorus of criticism sparked by government movements of large quantities of the cryptocurrency.
Coinbase（納斯達克：COIN）首席執行官布萊恩·阿姆斯特朗（Brian Armstrong）週二強烈反對美國政府出售其比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）持有量，加入了一系列因政府大量轉移加密貨幣而引發的批評聲音。
The debate intensified after 19,800 bitcoin, valued at $1.9 billion, was transferred to a Coinbase Prime deposit address on Dec. 2.
在12月2日，價值19億美元的19,800比特幣轉移到了Coinbase Prime的存款地址，這場辯論愈演愈烈。
"This is a huge strategic mistake. There is no price where it makes sense for the U.S. to sell any Bitcoin it has under its control," tweeted Jason Lowery, a U.S. Space Force major and author of Softwar: A Novel Theory on Power Projection and the National Strategic Significance of Bitcoin.
"這是一個巨大的策略錯誤。美國政府以其控制下的比特幣在任何價格下都不應該出售，"美國空軍的傑森·洛厄裏（Jason Lowery）在推特上發表評論，他是《軟戰：關於權力投射和比特幣國家戰略意義的一個新理論》的作者。
Armstrong echoed Lowery's sentiment, stating, "Agreed – the U.S. government should never sell Bitcoin IMO."
阿姆斯特朗回應了洛厄裏的觀點，表示，「同意-美國政府不應該出售比特幣，我個人認爲是錯誤的。」

Strategic Concerns Over Bitcoin Sales
比特幣銷售引發的戰略性關注
Lowery argued that the government lacks understanding of Bitcoin's strategic value, likening the potential sale to shortsighted policies of the past.
洛厄裏認爲政府不理解比特幣的戰略價值，將潛在的銷售類比於過去的短視政策。
He warned that the U.S. may later attempt to reclaim bitcoin sold off due to ignorance of its importance.
他警告說，由於對其重要性的無知，美國可能會在之後試圖重新奪回已經拋售的比特幣。
Referencing Executive Order 6102, a 1933 directive that forbade hoarding gold, Lowery suggested future policies might aim to reacquire Bitcoin in a similar fashion.
參考1933年的行政令6102號，該指令禁止囤積黃金，洛厄裏（Lowery）建議未來的政策可能會以類似方式重新獲取比特幣。
Criticism of the government's actions extended beyond Armstrong and Lowery.
對政府行動的批評不僅限於阿姆斯特朗（Armstrong）和洛厄裏（Lowery）。
Crypto educator Toby Cunningham labeled the potential sale as "dumb," asserting that the supply would be instantly absorbed by the market.
加密教育者託比·坎寧安（Toby Cunningham）將潛在的銷售標記爲"愚蠢"，聲稱市場將立即吸收供應。
Meanwhile, Tether (CRYPTO: USDT) strategy adviser Gabor Gurbacs speculated the transfers could be routine custody updates rather than sales, noting, "There is also a lot we don't know. It's not guaranteed they will sell. I haven't seen any official auction information yet."
與此同時， 泰達幣（加密：USDT）策略顧問加波爾·古爾巴克斯（Gabor Gurbacs）推測這些轉移可能是常規的託管更新，而不是銷售，指出"我們也有很多不了解的地方。並不確保他們會出售。我還沒有看到任何官方的拍賣信息。"
Mixed Signals and Market Implications
混雜的信號和市場影響
While the government has moved 25,999 bitcoin worth approximately $2.49 billion to Coinbase this year, analytics platforms suggest not all these transfers are intended for sale.
儘管政府今年將價值約24.9億美元的25999比特幣轉移到Coinbase，但分析平台表明，並非所有這些轉移都是爲了出售。
Spot On Chain indicated some movements could involve consolidating wallets or upgrading security for older addresses.
Spot On Chain表示，一些交易可能涉及整合錢包或升級更老的地址的安全性。
CryptoQuant's head of research, Julio Moreno, noted it was "highly likely" only 10,000 bitcoin were sold in the latest transactions, with the remaining 9,800 BTC transferred to a newly created wallet.
加密量化研究負責人胡里奧·莫雷諾（Julio Moreno）指出，在最近的交易中，只有10000比特幣被出售，剩下的9800 BTC轉移到一個新創建的錢包。
Currently, the U.S. government holds approximately 183,850 BTC valued at $17.7 billion across various addresses.
目前，美國政府在各個地址持有約183,850個比特幣，價值177億美元。
"The U.S. should recognize the significance of this technology before making irreversible mistakes," Armstrong said.
「在犯下不可逆轉的錯誤之前，美國應該認識到這項技術的重要性，」阿姆斯特朗說。
