報告：監管機構和中央銀行已將比特幣歸類為商品而不是證券:金色財經報道，加密貨幣服務提供商 Matrixport 在周四的一份報告中表示，比特幣 (BTC) 受益于金融體系的不穩定、通貨膨脹下降使美聯儲變得不那么強硬，以及監管過剩打擊了穩定幣。隨著這三種趨勢的持續存在，比特幣價格可能會保持高位并繼續上漲，投資者現在已經覺醒，美聯儲的利率政策嚴重損害了一些投資組合，并威脅到經濟的金融穩定。

報告補充說，雖然似乎有一條明確的監管路徑，但有一種具體的理解是，有些比特幣可以逃避監管。監管機構和中央銀行已將比特幣歸類為商品，而不是證券。[2023/3/17 13:10:46]

共識實驗室聯創Kevin：比特幣重新調整了金融分配系統:金色財經報道，在由比特大陸聯合金色財經舉辦的《比特幣誕生14周年》主題活動上，共識實驗室聯合創始人Kevin Ren表示，比特幣重新調整了金融分配系統，它用一個開源的協議，創造了一個透明的金融規則。比特幣通過挖礦獎勵的方式維護了系統的運行，凡是參與到比特幣生態中的人，都可以監督和修復這個系統。

其實我們現在看到的比特幣代碼是不斷迭代后的代碼，比特幣也在不斷的優化中。閃電網絡提高了比特幣的可擴展性，閃電網絡公開的流動性已經接近5000枚了，而且基于閃電網絡的各種協議以及AMM解決方案等項目都已經開始跑起來了。所以，比特幣在保持價值儲存的這個初衷下，在應用性方向也在探索，不過應用性不應該作為判斷比特幣是否是好的標準。[2023/1/3 22:23:28]

加拿大公民從銀行提取資金換取比特幣免受政府凍結賬戶影響:2月21日消息，加拿大公民已經開始從銀行賬戶中提取所有資金，旨在加拿大人正在保護自己的金融主權。當政府表示可在不需要法院命令的情況下凍結銀行賬戶時，這似乎是一種自然的反應。根據網友社交在社交媒體的發言，許多加拿大人正在用法幣換取比特幣，他們認為這可以保護他們免受政府凍結其賬戶的影響。此前報道，加拿大目前正在經歷由強制性 COVID-19 疫苗計劃引起的一系列抗議活動，公民也在提出社會和經濟要求。抗議活動的高潮出現在幾天前。特魯多和其他官員宣布，他們可能會凍結阻撓街頭人士的銀行賬戶。（Beincrypto）[2022/2/21 10:05:16]

新澤西州男子承認運營未經許可的比特幣交易所:金色財經報道，新澤西州男子William Green已在聯邦法院承認其未經適當許可而經營已倒閉的加密貨幣交易所“Destination Bitcoin”。William Green告訴聯邦法官，他在2017年8月至2019年2月之間非法將客戶的現金轉換為加密貨幣。本周一，他對經營無牌匯款業務表示認罪，可能面臨長達五年的監禁和25萬美元的罰款。[2021/4/6 19:48:20]

動態 | 隨著雷亞爾大跌10%，巴西比特幣交易量大增:據trustnodes報道，巴西交易所Negocie Coins過去24小時的BTC / BRL交易量接近15億美元，其中比特幣的溢價約為150美元。自2月份以來， 巴西雷亞爾兌美元的匯率已經下跌超過10％。通貨膨脹率接近5％，利率為6.5％。因此，巴西人看起來正在轉向比特幣。此外，人們對比特幣的情緒發生了變化，有些人認為比特幣價值可能會上升。對于富有的巴西人來說，買入加密貨幣而不是美元是有道理的。因此，文章認為，該交易所的交易量可能不會太假，因為巴西的比特幣采用率有所上升確實是有原因的。[2019/5/5]
