你希望美国最杰出的亿万银行家族企业家说的最后一件事是什么?会包含任何形式的比特币吗?
许多人认为数字货币将是一个银行家的噩梦,但马修泰勒梅隆Ⅱ-目前是纽约共和党的财政委员会主席,似乎对比特币十分着迷。
在接受福布斯采访时,这位成功人士认为数字货币可以在某些方面成为民主的未来。
“我觉得人们厌倦了银行家,”他在共进午餐时告诉福布斯记者。“我们需要生活在一个更加透明和自由的民主中。美国越变得神秘,就越变得危险。”
透明和自由的民主的关键,他说,牵涉到比特币 -它在过去十八个月价格疯狂增长。
“银行要急得挠头了。”他补充道。
不难理解为什么梅隆如此迷恋比特币。事实上,他说他已投资2百万美元在一个孵化器,用于比特币相关公司的启动和发展。这个孵化器称为coinapex。
“马修是那样男人,很聪明地吸引优秀的人才来帮助他了解比特币”J.托德莫利,梅隆的朋友和Guggenheim Partners的创始人。“我知道他一直在学习比特币,和业内资深人士交谈。”
这当然是一个有趣的故事,一个越来越普遍的故事,银行业开始认识到数字货币的前景。
此外,这个领域的创业公司也不乏有趣的发展,为有钱的投资者提供很有吸引力的机会。
你很可能会在未来几个月听到很多这种乐观的故事。

What’s the last thing you expect an entrepreneur from one of the most prominent multi billion-dollar banking families in the United States to say? Would it include bitcoin in any form?
Many would suggest the digital currency would be a banker’s worst nightmare, but Matthew Taylor Mellon II — presently the Chairman of the New York Republican Party’s Finance Committee — seems to be quite the fan.
In an interview with Forbes, the highly-successful business man suggested digital currency could be the future of democracy in some respects.
“I feel like citizens are fed up with banksters,” he told the Forbes reporter over lunch. “We need to live in a more transparent, free democracy. The more secretive America becomes, the more dangerous it is.”
The key to this transparent and free democracy, he says, involves bitcoin — which has grown significantly over the past eighteen months.
“The banks are going to be scratching their heads,” he added.
It’s not difficult to see why Mellon is so infatuated with bitcoin. In fact, he’s said to have invested $2 million in an incubator that allows bitcoin-related companies to start up and flourish. That incubator is called CoinApex.
“Matthew is the kind of guy who’s very smart about attracting very talented people to help him figure it out,” said J. Todd Morley, a friend of Mellon’s and founder of Guggenheim Partners. “I know he’s been studying Bitcoin and talking to senior people in the industry.”
It’s certainly an interesting story, and one that is becoming increasingly common as those in the banking industry recognize the promise of this digital currency.
Moreover, there’s no shortage of interesting developments that are taking place with regard to start-ups in the space, which acts as an attractive opportunity for the wealthy investor.
You may very well hear a lot more of this type of optimism in the coming months.
