國會議員Sam Liccardo提出了Meme Act阻止特朗普

當特朗普總統發起自己的模因硬幣時，它為加密貨幣空間帶來了新的界限。近一半的投資者是加密貨幣空間的完整新手

Silicon Valley Congressman Sam Liccardo has proposed the Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement (MEME) Act to stop TRUMP, an exploitative meme coin launched by former President Donald Trump. The bill, which has practically no chance of passing, might be an important milestone.

矽谷國會議員薩姆·列卡多（Sam Liccardo）提出了《現代梅爾和瀆職執法法》（MEME），以阻止特朗普，這是前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）發起的剝削性模因硬幣。該法案實際上沒有機會，可能是一個重要的里程碑。

Although the crypto industry is theoretically enjoying real political power, there are some cracks in the Republican coalition. If these cracks widen, a vital legislation like this could have a chance at success.

儘管從理論上講，加密工業享有真正的政治權力，但共和黨聯盟有些裂縫。如果這些破解擴大了，那麼這樣的重要立法可能會有機會取得成功。

Can the MEME Act Stop TRUMP?When President Trump launched his own meme coin, it crossed worrying new boundaries for the crypto space. Nearly half of its investors were complete novices to the crypto space, and scammers exploited the hype to steal $857 million in the first few days.

《模因法》能阻止特朗普嗎？當特朗普總統發起自己的模因硬幣時，它為加密貨幣空間帶來了新的界限。其幾乎一半的投資者是加密貨幣領域的完整新手，騙子在頭幾天宣傳了炒作，竊取了8.57億美元。

Now, freshman Congressman Sam Liccardo is trying to stop the trend by sponsoring his first piece of legislation:

現在，新生國會議員薩姆·列卡多（Sam Liccardo）試圖通過贊助他的第一條立法來阻止這種趨勢：

“That wasn’t my plan when I ran for office, I can assure you. [Trump’s] behavior is so self-evidently unethical that it raises the question why isn’t there a clear enough prohibition [on political meme coins]. You need to have some enforcement mechanism and a private right of action helps to keep everybody honest,” Liccardo claimed in an interview.

“那不是我競選公職的計劃，我可以向您保證。 [特朗普]的行為是如此自覺不道德，以至於它提出了一個問題，為什麼在政治模因硬幣上沒有足夠明確的禁令。您需要擁有一些執法機制和私人的行動權，有助於使所有人保持誠實。”

Liccardo is the Representative for Silicon Valley, the US’ biggest tech hub, and he’s been in office since January. So far, it is unclear how many of the Valley’s tech firms support his first big Congressional effort.

Liccardo是美國最大的技術樞紐矽谷的代表，自1月以來就一直在任職。到目前為止，目前尚不清楚有多少山谷的科技公司支持他的第一個大國會努力。

Today, he proposed the Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement (MEME) Act, which targets TRUMP and other political meme coins.

如今，他提出了針對特朗普和其他政治模因硬幣的現代艾爾將和瀆職執法（MEME）法案。

This act would block the President, members of Congress, other senior officials, and their family members from launching or endorsing any tokens under threat of civil and criminal penalties. It would also impose similar restrictions on commodities and securities.

該法案將阻止總統，國會議員，其他高級官員及其家人在民事和刑事處罰的威脅下啟動或認可任何令牌。這也將對商品和證券施加類似的限制。

If approved, the MEME Act would also demand that Trump disgorge all profits from his token launch.

如果獲得批准，《模因法》還將要求特朗普將所有利潤從代幣發行中撤出。

The rise of TRUMP and other political meme coins is causing prominent figures like Vitalik Buterin to worry about the industry’s direction. Blatant scams are impacting crypto’s credibility, and multiple foreign governments have launched or considered launching their own meme coins and rug pulls.

特朗普和其他政治模因硬幣的興起正在導致諸如Vitalik Buterin之類的傑出人物擔心該行業的方向。公然的騙局影響了加密貨幣的信譽，多個外國政府已經啟動或考慮推出自己的模因硬幣和地毯。

Several crypto community members believe these tokens are a stupendous mechanism for enabling political corruption.

幾位加密社區成員認為，這些令牌是實現政治腐敗的巨大機制。

Liccardo was very open about his intent to use this bill as an act of protest. He got 12 other Democrats to co-sponsor the bill, but it doesn’t have bipartisan support.

利卡多（Liccardo）非常開放，他打算將該法案作為抗議行為。他得到了其他12名民主黨人共同贊助該法案，但沒有兩黨的支持。

The Republican Party has shown clear signs that it’s very pro-crypto as advertised, but it’s important not to overstate the fact. Yet, even the GOP’s crypto skeptics would have no reason to oppose their President publicly.

共和黨已經表現出明確的跡象，表明這是非常親密的，但重要的是不要誇大事實。但是，即使是共和黨的加密懷疑論者，也沒有理由公開反對其總統。

In short, the MEME Act may not end up doing anything to stop TRUMP or the political meme coin craze. Still, Liccardo’s effort may be an important building block. It may help build future legislation or gauge the feasibility of GOP crypto skepticism.

簡而言之，《模因法》可能最終不會採取任何行動來阻止特朗普或政治模因硬幣熱潮。儘管如此，Liccardo的努力可能是重要的基礎。它可能有助於製定未來的立法或衡量共和黨加密懷疑論的可行性。

Ostensibly, the industry has more political power than ever, but this power hasn’t faced a real test.

表面上，該行業比以往任何時候都具有更多的政治權力，但是這種權力並沒有面臨真正的考驗。
