"Cryptocurrencies help rich, professional investors and criminals become richer. Anyone who does not fall into one of these two categories can easily lose their money gambling on crypto.

“加密貨幣可以幫助富人，專業投資者和罪犯變得更富有。任何不屬於這兩個類別之一的人都可以輕易地在加密貨幣上賭博。

A good case study is the $Trump cryptocurrency coin. According to the New York Times, the Trump family and its business partners have made about $100 million (and counting) in fees from the meme crypto coin. One wealthy investor, who bought about $1 million less than two minutes after it was released, made $109 million after selling the coins within two days. This investor may have had insider information about when the $Trump coin was being released. Many other savvy investors, who knew when to dump the coins, were also able to make millions. On the other hand, over 800,000 other investors collectively lost over $2 billion chasing this latest crypto get-rich-quick scheme.

一個很好的案例研究是$ trump加密貨幣硬幣。據《紐約時報》報導，特朗普家族及其商業夥伴從Meme Crypto Coin收取了約1億美元的費用（併計算）。一位富有的投資者在釋放後不到兩分鐘就購買了約100萬美元，在兩天內出售硬幣後賺了1.09億美元。該投資者可能有有關$特朗普硬幣何時發布的內部信息。許多其他精明的投資者，他們知道什麼時候傾倒硬幣，也能夠賺取數百萬美元。另一方面，超過800,000名其他投資者損失了超過20億美元，追逐了這一最新的加密貨幣富裕計劃。

The story was mostly the same for the $Melania (Trump) meme crypto coin. At the time of this writing, the $Trump coin was down 82 percent from its peak. The $Melania coin was down 94 percent. The way to make the most money on the $Melania coin was to purchase it immediately as it was released and then sell it a day later. Apparently, even some wealthy professional investors weren’t fast enough in purchasing and dumping the coin. One investor lost $14 million betting on $Melania, and another lost about $4 million.

對於$ Melania（Trump）Meme Crypto硬幣來說，這個故事大多是相同的。在撰寫本文時，特朗普硬幣的峰值下降了82％。 $ Melania硬幣下跌了94％。賺錢在$ Melania硬幣上賺錢的方法是立即在發佈時立即購買，然後一天后出售它。顯然，即使是一些富有的專業投資者，在購買和傾倒硬幣方面也不夠快。一位投資者損失了1400萬美元的賭注，另一個投資者損失了約400萬美元。

Buying a cryptocurrency and then dumping it a day later, of course, is not investing — it’s gambling — and the winners get to take the losers’ money. But it is not a fair game. Wealthy investors who can hype cryptocurrencies and who can spend the resources needed to know the right time to dump them, can make a big profit off less savvy investors. The crypto game is tilted toward funneling money up toward the richer players.

當然，購買加密貨幣，然後在一天后傾倒它，這不是在投資 - 這是在賭博 - 獲獎者可以拿走失敗者的錢。但這不是一個公平的遊戲。富有的投資者可以炒作加密貨幣，可以花費所需的資源來了解合適的時間來拋棄它們，可以從少量精明的投資者那裡獲得巨大的利潤。加密遊戲傾向於向富人玩家籌集資金。

Criminals ❤️ Crypto

罪犯❤️加密貨幣

The Federal Trade Commission reports that cryptocurrency fraud is now one of the leading types of financial crimes. Criminal activity associated with cryptocurrencies is growing rapidly. Chainalysis, a blockchain analytics firm, tallies the value of a wide range of criminal activity involving cryptocurrencies. They include ransomware extortion where payment is required in crypto, people trading illegal drugs and other illegal goods for crypto, the theft of crypto, crypto scams, and other crimes. Chainalysis estimates that in 2020 criminals received $11 billion in cryptocurrencies from illegal activities. Their estimate for 2024 is $51 billion. So far, 2025 looks like it could exceed 2024. In February, $1.5 billion worth in cryptocurrencies was stolen from the Bybit cryptocurrency exchange. This is the largest theft of cryptocurrency on record.

聯邦貿易委員會報告說，加密貨幣欺詐現在是金融犯罪的主要類型之一。與加密貨幣相關的犯罪活動正在迅速增長。區塊鏈分析公司Chainalysis，為涉及加密貨幣的廣泛犯罪活動的價值估計。其中包括勒索軟件勒索，在加密貨幣中需要付款，人們交易非法毒品和其他非法商品以供加密貨幣，加密貨幣，加密騙局和其他犯罪。鏈分析估計，2020年罪犯在非法活動中獲得了110億美元的加密貨幣。他們對2024年的估計是510億美元。到目前為止，2025年看起來可能超過2024年。2月，從Bybit Cryptocurrency Exchange偷走了15億美元的加密貨幣。這是有記錄以來最大的加密貨幣盜竊案。

Chainalysis also notes that the types of criminals using crypto and the types of criminal activity they are engaged in continues to expand. In addition to ransomware and stealing individuals’ crypto, Chainalysis reports that “[a]n array of illicit actors, including transnational organized crime groups, are increasingly leveraging cryptocurrency for traditional crime types, such as drug trafficking, gambling, intellectual property theft, money laundering, human and wildlife trafficking, and violent crime.” It is also more common to find hate groups, including white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups, using cryptocurrencies to fund their activities.

鏈分析還指出，使用加密貨幣的犯罪分子類型及其從事的犯罪活動類型繼續擴大。除了勒索軟件和竊取個人的加密貨幣外，Chainalysis報導說：“包括跨國有組織犯罪團體在內的非法行為者，越來越多地利用了傳統犯罪類型的加密貨幣，例如毒品販運，賭博，賭博，知識產權盜竊，洗錢，人力和人類和野生動物和野生犯罪。”尋找仇恨群體，包括白人至上主義者和新納粹組織，使用加密貨幣為其活動提供資金，這也更為普遍。

Although cryptocurrencies have a growing presence in the financial exploitation and victimization of the public, the Trump administration is weakening consumer protections. Elon Musk has gravely weakened the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which used to process thousands of cryptocurrency complaints a year. Musk is also weakening the Federal Trade Commission which also responds to crypto complaints.

儘管加密貨幣在公眾的財務剝削和受害方面的存在越來越大，但特朗普政府正在削弱消費者的保護。埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）嚴重削弱了消費者金融保護局，該局每年經常處理數千起加密貨幣投訴。馬斯克還削弱了聯邦貿易委員會，這也對加密貨幣投訴做出了回應。

There are clear conflicts of interest between the Trump administration and the regulation of the crypto industry. Elon Musk was one of the wealthy investors who hyped the DOGE cryptocurrency inflating its value. Musk has owned DOGE and other cryptocurrencies. His Department of Government Efficiency also known as DOGE is clearly a nod to this crypto.

特朗普政府與加密工業的監管之間存在明顯的利益衝突。埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）是富有的投資者之一，他炒作了馬密貨幣膨脹其價值。馬斯克擁有道路和其他加密貨幣。他的政府效率部也稱為Doge，顯然是對這個加密貨幣的致敬。

Donald Trump received tens of millions of dollars for his 2024 presidential campaign from the crypto industry, and he and his family profits financially from the industry. Given these facts, it is perhaps not surprising that the Trump administration would not only restrict the policing of the crypto industry, but enact policies like creating a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” that would bolster the industry and his and his family’s profits."

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）因加密貨幣行業的2024年總統大選而獲得了數千萬美元，他和他的家人從該行業的經濟利潤中獲利。鑑於這些事實，特朗普政府不僅會限制加密貨幣行業的警務，而且制定政策，例如創建“戰略性比特幣儲備”會增強該行業以及他和他的家人的利潤，也許並不奇怪。
