被忽视的大新闻，赵长鹏与美国达成认罪协议，面临巨额罚款和牢狱之灾

感觉现在币圈的热度已经过去了。虽然现在比特币的价格有不小的回升，已经到了三万多美元了，但关注的热度远远不及AI的发展，就连币圈内的大新闻似乎都翻不起什么舆论浪花了，是不是呢？

比如最近就有一个天大的新闻，就是币圈第一大交易所与美国的执法机构，币圈的第一大交易所——币安，他的老板赵长鹏和美国的执法机构达成了认罪协议，要支付高达四十五亿美元的罚款来换取美国的重轻发落。这一幕几乎和我看过的那本法国阿尔斯通高管写的《美国陷阱》的书是一模一样的情节。而赵长鹏受到了指控的罪名，也是违反了美国的法律与受制裁的国家——主要是伊朗进行交易，这也是典型的美国利用它的国内法律进行长臂管辖的卑劣手段。

所以说美国现在标榜自由民主，可是实际上做的呢？以产业链安全为由，威胁企业搬出中国，以制裁恐怖主义国家为由，禁止企业个人与这些名单上的国家进行自由贸易，在抬高关税、实施贸易保护主义。这种种行为都证明它不是一个想象人们想象中的自由的国家。

而据说币安在交缴纳了这笔巨额罚款之后，加上赵长鹏没有经过司法程序，而与美国的执法机构达成认罪协议，可以从轻发落，也要做近十个月的牢，作为华人世界华人首富——赵长鹏的资产可能要高于马云吧？这个我不太清楚——居然要受如此奇耻大辱，真是不知道该说什么好。

但是我看到一些网络上的币圈自媒体现，在币圈关注人真的很少，也在谈论这件事情，有的竟然认为这是一件利好比特币的新闻，其逻辑真的是让人匪夷所思。他们说这个认罪协议实际上是让币安被置于了美国的司法监管之下，相当于币安合规了，币安上的比特币的交易受到美国政府的承认，将会有大批的合法资金涌入这个市场，抬高比特币的价格。

我只能说这个想法实在是太一厢情愿了。如果他们去看看《美国陷阱》这本书就会知道，这起处罚完全是美国的执法机构在滥用自己的权力，扩张自己的权力，给自己争取利益而已。与监管比特币让加密货币交易合法化，没有一分钱的关系。

而且这些up主根本就没有理解比特币的本质。比特币要成为一种广为接币的货币，需要的是人们从观念上认识，知道它可以成为一种货币，而且是一种个性非常优良的货币，而且它是点对点的，不需要任何的权威个人或者权威组织机构来为他背书。所以比特币需要美国执法当局来承认它合法化完全是多此一举，这些up主也没有真正领会什么是去中心化的本质。

其实说的更偏激一点。比特币它是一场革命，它要革的就是寄生在美元霸权身上的美国这些政府机构的命，希望他们来给比特币作嫁衣、抬轿子，就和与虎谋皮没有什么区别，比特币的价格上升，只会是因为人们越来越多的人接受和认可，而不会是因为某个世界强权的政府批准它合法化。因为对一个世界强权来说，这样做就等于挖掉了自己钱权力来源的根基，是不用指望的。中国政府已经采取了多次行动，将将比特币的公开交易在中国清零。而作为世界头号强权的美国政府也不必指望它会对比特币有多么友好。从某种意义上来说，因为美国现在是头号强权，比特币对它的威胁比中国要大得多。

It feels like the heat is over now. Although the price of bitcoin has rebounded a lot now, it has reached more than $30,000, but the heat of attention is far less than the development of AI, and even the big news in the currency circle seems to be unable to turn over what public opinion waves, isn't it?

For example, there is a big news recently, that is, the largest exchange in the currency circle and the United States law enforcement agencies, the largest exchange in the currency circle - Binance, his boss Zhao Changpeng and the United States law enforcement agencies reached a plea agreement, to pay up to 4.5 billion dollars in fines in exchange for the United States. This scene is almost identical to the plot of the book "The American Trap" written by a French Alstom executive that I read. Zhao Changpeng was also charged with violating U.S. law by conducting transactions with sanctioned countries, primarily Iran, in a typical example of the underhanded use of U.S. domestic law.

So the United States now claims to be liberal and democratic, but what does it actually do? Under the pretext of industrial chain security, they threaten companies to move out of China, and under the pretext of sanctions against terrorist countries, they prohibit enterprises and individuals from conducting free trade with these listed countries, raising tariffs and implementing trade protectionism. These kinds of actions prove that it is not a country that imagines the freedom that people think it is.

And Binance is said to have paid a huge fine in Zhejiang, plus Zhao Changpeng did not go through judicial procedures, and reached a plea agreement with law enforcement agencies in the United States, can be leniency, but also to do nearly ten months in prison, as the richest Chinese in the world - Zhao Changpeng's assets may be higher than Ma Yun? I don't know about that -- I don't know what to say about being so humiliated.

However, I have seen some coins on the network from the media, in the coin circle is really very few people, but also talking about this matter, some actually think that this is a good news for Bitcoin, its logic is really incredible. They said that the plea agreement is actually to allow Binance to be placed under the judicial supervision of the United States, equivalent to Binance compliance, Bitcoin transactions on Binance are recognized by the United States government, there will be a large number of legal funds into the market, driving up the price of bitcoin.

I can only say that this idea is very wishful thinking. If they read the book "American Trap", they will know that this punishment is entirely the abuse of their power by the law enforcement agencies of the United States, expanding their power, and seeking their own interests. Has nothing to do with regulating bitcoin and legitimizing cryptocurrency trading.

And these up owners simply do not understand the nature of Bitcoin. To become a widely accepted currency, Bitcoin needs people to know from the concept that it can become a currency, and it is a very good personality currency, and it is peer-to-peer, and does not need any authoritative individuals or authoritative organizations to endorse him. So Bitcoin needs the US law enforcement authorities to admit that its legalization is completely unnecessary, and these up owners do not really understand the nature of decentralization.

Actually, it's a little more extreme. Bitcoin it is a revolution, it is the life of the United States government agencies parasitic on the hegemony of the dollar, hoping that they will give Bitcoin as a wedding dress, carry the litter, and there is no difference with the tiger's skin, the price of bitcoin will rise, only because more and more people accept and recognize, not because the government of a world power approves its legalization. This is because for a world power to do so is tantamount to digging away the foundation of its own source of money and power, which is not to be expected. The Chinese government has made several moves to eliminate public trading of bitcoin in China. And the government of the United States, the world's leading power, should not expect it to be very friendly to Bitcoin. In a sense, because the United States is now the number one power, Bitcoin is a much bigger threat to it than China.
