阿根廷總統哈維爾·米利（Javier Milei）面臨腐敗調查，以推廣他的模因硬幣

阿根廷的萌芽醜聞被當地被稱為“隱秘”，並與各種各樣的角色有聯繫。

Argentine President Javier Milei is facing a corruption probe into his promotion of a meme coin, a highly speculative form of cryptocurrency that’s surged in popularity after President Donald Trump and his wife launched tokens of their own.

阿根廷總統哈維爾·麥利（Javier Milei）正面臨腐敗的調查，以促進他對模因硬幣的促進，這是一種高度投機的加密貨幣形式，在唐納德·特朗普總統和他的妻子發起了自己的代幣之後，這一形式受到了普及。

The budding scandal in Argentina has been dubbed locally as “cryptogate” and has links to a diverse cast of characters, including a high-profile U.S. influencer, a crypto developer who uses the pseudonym “Meow,” and a 28-year-old American entrepreneur who said he helped launch first lady Melania Trump’s meme coin last month.

阿根廷的萌芽醜聞在當地被稱為“隱秘材料”，並與各種各樣的角色鏈接，包括一位備受矚目的美國影響者，一個使用化名“ Meow”的加密開發人員和28歲的美國人企業家說，他在上個月幫助推出了第一夫人梅拉尼亞·特朗普的模因硬幣。

Here’s an explainer on what happened and where things stand:

這是關於發生的事情和一切所在的解釋者：

First off, what exactly is a meme coin?

首先，模因硬幣到底是什麼？

Meme coins are a type of cryptocurrency that are generally just goofs on internet memes, viral moments or celebrities that aren’t trying to make use of a new technology or solve any new problems. They often have silly names, like Dogecoin, or Fartcoin.

模因硬幣是一種加密貨幣，通常只是在互聯網模因，病毒時刻或名人中不嘗試使用新技術或解決任何新問題。他們經常有愚蠢的名字，例如Dogecoin或Fartcoin。

Critics – including many cryptocurrency enthusiasts — say they are nothing more than digital Ponzi schemes that exist to enrich insiders at the expense of retail investors. Those more supportive say meme coins shouldn’t be so easily dismissed and could be early indicators of ways in which the internet could revolutionize financial and other transactions.

批評家（包括許多加密貨幣愛好者）說，它們不過是數字龐氏騙局，這些計劃以犧牲零售投資者為代價來豐富內部人士。那些更支持性的說明模因硬幣不應那麼容易被解僱，並且可能是互聯網可以徹底改變財務和其他交易的方式的早期指標。

“New technologies often look like a toy but evolve into something much more powerful over time,” Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said in a recent social media post.

Coinbase首席執行官Brian Armstrong在最近的社交媒體帖子中說：“新技術通常看起來像一個玩具，但演變成更強大的東西。”

So, what happened with the meme coin associated with Milei?

那麼，與Milei相關的模因硬幣發生了什麼？

In short, a disaster.

簡而言之，一場災難。

Milei, the tech-loving, chainsaw-wielding, libertarian president of Argentina, posted on X about the meme coin $LIBRA on Friday, just after it had launched, stating he was “encouraging economic growth by funding small businesses and startups.”

愛國者的自由主義者主席麥利（Milei）是愛好者，揮舞科技的揮舞，揮舞著電鋸，在X上發布了X上關於Meme Coin $ libra的發布，恰恰是在它推出之後，他說他“通過資助小型企業和初創公司來鼓勵經濟增長”。

The coin’s price soared almost immediately, pushing the market value for the project beyond $4 billion.

硬幣的價格幾乎立即飆升，將項目的市場價值推向了40億美元。

A few hours after launch, early holders of the coin started cashing out of the project and its price collapsed.

發射幾個小時後，硬幣的早期持有人開始兌現該項目，其價格崩潰了。

The trajectory of $LIBRA’s price had the hallmarks of a “rug pull,” a not uncommon phenomenon with meme coins. Rug pulls occur when insiders dump their holdings in newly launched meme coins that are soaring in value, which tanks the price and causes losses to newer investors.

$ libra的價格的軌跡具有“地毯拉力”的標誌，這是一種與模因硬幣的現象。當內部人員將其持股量倒在新發射的模因硬幣中時，就會發生地毯拉力，這些硬幣的價值飆升，坦克價格並損失了新的投資者。

Milei deleted his initial post after the price collapsed and distanced himself from the project. By Monday, dozens of criminal complaints had been filed, a judge in Argentina had been selected to investigate allegations of fraud and Argentina’s main opposition party called for his impeachment.

麥莉（Milei）的價格崩潰並與該項目保持距離之後，麥莉（Milei）刪除了他的最初帖子。到週一，已經提出了數十起刑事訴訟，阿根廷的一名法官被選為調查有關欺詐的指控，阿根廷的主要反對黨呼籲彈each。
