埃德蒙.莫伊,美国铸币局的第38届董事,不怕向世界展示了他是加密货币的粉丝。莫伊在他的推特上发文,对CNBC.com一篇文章作出回应,关于瑞士信贷的刑事定罪,瑞士信贷是世界上最大的银行之一。
莫伊的推特写道:
“26亿美元”的罚金不算多“ :瑞士信贷的CEO 。现在是时候银行面对竞争了。现在是加密货币的时代了。 “
今年1月,莫伊告诉媒体,他认为中国限制第三方金融机构为比特币交易所提供业务,证明了加密货币的竞争力。 3月下旬,莫伊对国税局阐明对比特币规定有争议的地方 – 这将迫使纳税人认为比特币是财产,密切跟踪每笔盈亏的交易。
“国税局作出这一裁决,因为它有权力这样做。但规则不是法律,因此可以在必要情况下,只要不违反法律,是可以变动的。更广泛的接受比特币,尽管速度太快会导致碰撞,但是这样,可能会迫使美国国税局重新考虑它的规定“。
评论:美国是法制国家,所以立法才显得如此重要,但不合理的法律也会改变,毕竟,最终还是多数人的利益决定法律。
Former Director of U.S. Mint Edmund Moy: “It’s Time Banks Got Competition. Time for Cryptocurrencies”
Edmund C. Moy, the 38th Director of the United States Mint, isn’t afraid to show the world he’s a fan of cryptocurrencies. Moy took to his Twitter account to respond to a posted article on CNBC.com with regard to the criminal conviction of Credit Suisse, one of the largest banks in the world.
Moy’s tweet read:
“$2.6B fine ‘won’t do much damage’: Credit Suisse CEO. It’s time banks got competition. Time for cryptocurrencies.”
In a day and age where banks can seemingly get away with anything (and if they don’t it’s a minor slap on the wrist), Moy realizes that cryptocurrencies remove the need for banks. In fact, holders of cryptocurrencies aretheir own banks.
It’s one of the selling points of digital currencies the likes of bitcoins, and it’s refreshing to see a former government official recognize it as more than a means to purchase drugs, finance terrorism, or use to donate to a political campaign.
Moy isn’t a stranger to voicing his opinions on this topic.
Back in January, Moy told a news publication that he thought the China clamp-down on third-party financial firms working with bitcoin exchanges validated cryptocurrencies.
In Late March, Moy addressed the Internal Revenue Service’s controversial view on bitcoin – which forces taxpayers to recognize bitcoin as property and keep close track of gains/losses on each transaction.
“The IRS made this ruling because it has the legal authority to do so. But rules are not laws and therefore can be changed as circumstances dictate and as long as they do not contradict the law. Wider acceptance of bitcoin, in spite of this speed bump, is one such circumstance that may force the IRS to reconsider its guidance,” he wrote.
