在病毒式「Chill Guy」迷因的創造者菲利普班克斯 (Phillip Banks) 宣布計劃對未經授權的用戶發出合法下架通知後，加密貨幣市場陷入混亂。

The creator of the viral “Chill Guy” meme is threatening to take legal action against anyone who uses his copyrighted character for unauthorized for-profit ventures.

病毒式傳播的「Chill Guy」迷因的創造者威脅要對任何使用其受版權保護的角色進行未經授權的營利活動的人採取法律行動。

Chill Guy Creator’s Legal Threats Impact Viral TikTok Meme Coin

Chill Guy 創作者的法律威脅影響了病毒式的 TikTok Meme 幣

In a post on X (Twitter), Banks announced his plans to take legal action for any unauthorized use of his artwork for monetary gain.

在 X（Twitter）上的一篇貼文中，班克斯宣布計劃對任何未經授權使用其藝術作品獲取金錢利益的行為採取法律行動。

“Just putting it out there, chill guy has been copyrighted. Like, legally. I will be issuing takedowns on for-profit-related things over the next few days. Not like brand accounts using him as a trend, that is kind of something I do not really care about (I just ask for credit. or Xboxes.). Mainly unauthorized merchandise and shitcoins,” Banks stated.

「只是把它放在那裡，冷靜的傢伙已經受版權保護了。就像，合法地。我將在接下來的幾天內對與營利相關的事情進行刪除。不像品牌帳戶將他作為一種趨勢，這是我並不真正關心的事情（我只是要求信用。或 Xbox。）。主要是未經授權的商品和垃圾幣，」班克斯說。

The Chill Guy meme went viral on TikTok, where its relatable depiction of a laid-back character resonated with millions. The parody meme coin quickly became a hot topic on Crypto Twitter and TikTok, with influencers, presidents, sports brands like UFC, LA Clippers, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and everyday users using it on social media. The coin’s rapid growth is attributed to the increasing influence of platforms like TikTok in shaping crypto trends.

Chill Guy 表情包在 TikTok 上瘋傳，它對悠閒角色的相關描述引起了數百萬人的共鳴。這款模仿迷因幣很快就成為 Crypto Twitter 和 TikTok 上的熱門話題，影響者、總統、UFC、洛杉磯快艇隊、巴黎聖日耳曼 (PSG) 等體育品牌以及日常用戶在社交媒體上使用它。該代幣的快速成長歸因於 TikTok 等平台在塑造加密貨幣趨勢方面的影響力不斷增強。

At its peak, the Solana-based coin had over 100,000 holders, making it one of the fastest-growing meme coins in terms of user adoption. However, as is typical of meme coins, the hype was short-lived. Banks’ legal threats and the inherent volatility of the meme coin market caused a nearly 67% drop in market cap, which stood at around $187 million after reaching a peak of $579 million on Wednesday.

在鼎盛時期，這款基於 Solana 的代幣擁有超過 100,000 名持有者，使其成為用戶採用率增長最快的模因代幣之一。然而，正如模因幣的典型特徵一樣，這種炒作是短暫的。銀行的法律威脅和 meme 幣市場固有的波動性導致市值下跌近 67%，在周三達到 5.79 億美元的峰值後，市值降至 1.87 億美元左右。

Banks’ announcement highlights the growing tension within the meme coin sector. While memes like Chill Guy can generate viral trends and massive economic activity, their creators often find themselves on the sidelines with little to no financial benefit from the frenzy.

銀行的聲明凸顯了迷因幣產業內日益緊張的局勢。雖然像「Chill Guy」這樣的迷因可以產生病毒式流行趨勢和大規模的經濟活動，但它們的創造者經常發現自己處於觀望狀態，幾乎沒有從這種狂熱中獲得任何經濟利益。

In his post, Banks clarified that his legal actions would not target non-commercial uses of Chill Guy. For example, he showed leniency towards brands using the meme, such as when the gaming brand Halo used the artwork in a tweet.

班克斯在帖子中澄清，他的法律行動不會針對 Chill Guy 的非商業用途。例如，他對使用迷因的品牌表現出寬容，例如遊戲品牌 Halo 在推文中使用了該藝術作品。

“When Master Chief trades you his plasma pistol for your rocket launcher but you’re just a chill marine,” Halo wrote.

「當士官長用他的等離子手槍換你的火箭發射器時，你只是一個冷酷的海軍陸戰隊員，」光環寫道。

Banks responded humorously by asking Halo for an Xbox in return. He said, “Hello, Halo. Since you used my art, can I have an Xbox? Thanks.”

班克斯幽默地回應，向 Halo 索取一台 Xbox 作為回報。他說：「你好，哈洛。既然你用了我的作品，我可以擁有一台 Xbox 嗎？謝謝。

Crypto Community’s Reaction to Banks’ Demands

加密社區對銀行要求的反應

Banks’ legal stance was met with amusement and guidance from the crypto community. Well-known figures on Crypto Twitter advised him to monetize the situation rather than pursuing litigation.

銀行的法律立場遭到了加密社群的嘲笑和指導。 Crypto Twitter 上的知名人士建議他利用這種情況貨幣化，而不是提起訴訟。

“Brother, just ask for a 2% token supply as is tradition and be happy,” user Thelema quipped.

用戶 Thelema 打趣道：“兄弟，按照傳統要求 2% 的代幣供應量就開心了。”

Meanwhile, some crypto executives, like Solana Legend, the co-founder and managing partner at Frictionless Capital and MonkeDAO, highlighted the cultural significance of the Chill Guy meme. The prominent figure in the Solana ecosystem noted that the platform offers a unique way for people to discover crypto through relatable memes.

同時，一些加密貨幣高管，例如 Frictionless Capital 和 MonkeDAO 的聯合創始人兼執行合夥人 Solana Legend，強調了 Chill Guy 模因的文化意義。 Solana 生態系統的知名人士指出，該平台為人們提供了一種透過相關迷因發現加密貨幣的獨特方式。

“Chill guy is becoming the Bored Ape Yacht Club / OpenSea moment for normies to be onboarded onto crypto. 5 minutes on TikTok and you can see people discovering memes,” the analyst wrote.

「冷靜的傢伙正在成為普通人加入加密貨幣的無聊猿遊艇俱樂部/OpenSea 時刻。在 TikTok 上花 5 分鐘，你就可以看到人們發現迷因，」這位分析師寫道。

The viral success of CHILLGUY showcases TikTok’s increasing role in driving crypto adoption among non-crypto natives (normies). However, this latest episode also demonstrates the volatility of meme coins, where hype often trumps fundamentals. Early investors in CHILLGUY rode a wave of speculation, driven largely by TikTok, only to see their gains evaporate as the momentum shifted.

CHILLGUY 的病毒式成功展示了 TikTok 在推動非加密貨幣原住民（規範者）採用加密貨幣方面發揮的日益重要的作用。然而，最新一集也展示了迷因幣的波動性，炒作往往勝過基本面。 CHILLGUY 的早期投資者在 TikTok 的推動下掀起了一波投機浪潮，但隨著勢頭的轉變，他們的收益卻蒸發了。

While Banks’ legal threats have stalled the meme coin’s momentum, they also highlight the challenges of monetizing intellectual property in the digital age. His attempt to protect his creation may set a precedent for other meme creators who are navigating the commercialization of their work.

雖然班克斯的法律威脅阻礙了迷因幣的發展勢頭，但它們也凸顯了數位時代知識產權貨幣化的挑戰。他保護自己創作的嘗試可能會為其他正在將其作品商業化的迷因創作者樹立先例。
