狗狗幣基金會：完整指南

許多現代加密貨幣都有自己的支持基金會，但狗狗幣基金會因其獨特的歷史、獨特的貢獻以及其社區內一度分裂的性質而特別引人注目。

The Dogecoin Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to facilitating Dogecoin’s technical growth and promoting its value to the outside world. 

狗狗幣基金會是一個非營利組織，致力於促進狗狗幣的技術發展並向外界宣傳其價值。

To be more specific, the three primary aims of the foundation are:

更具體地說，該基金會的三個主要目標是：

So while they can be hands-on in creating new projects for the network, the foundation also works off-chain with charities and events, for example. Needless to say, they have a lot on their plate, but without the foundation, the Dogecoin network would have become a wild wasteland.

因此，雖然他們可以親自為網路創建新項目，但基金會也與慈善機構和活動等進行鏈下合作。不用說，他們有很多工作要做，但如果沒有基礎，狗狗幣網路就會變成一片荒原。

When Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer introduced Dogecoin on December 6, 2013, the foundation formed the month after. But why did it arrive early in the token’s life cycle?

當 Billy Markus 和 Jackson Palmer 於 2013 年 12 月 6 日推出狗狗幣時，基金會於隔月成立。但為什麼它會出現在代幣生命週期的早期呢？

As mentioned previously, Dogecoin wasn’t designed to be taken seriously. Therefore, when it received more than 1 million visitors and rose nearly 300% in value for the first 30 days, problems were inevitable since it wasn’t built to manage and protect this many users at once.  

如前所述，狗狗幣的設計初衷並不是為了被認真對待。因此，當它的訪問量超過 100 萬，並且前 30 天的價值增長了近 300% 時，問題就不可避免了，因為它並不是為了同時管理和保護這麼多用戶而設計的。

This became clear in late December when Dogecoin experienced its first major crash after China stopped investing in the Bitcoin (BTC) economy. Dogecoin would be hacked three days later, costing users millions of tokens. 

12 月底，當中國停止投資比特幣 (BTC) 經濟後，狗狗幣經歷了第一次重大崩盤，這一點變得很明顯。三天后，狗狗幣遭到駭客攻擊，導致用戶損失數百萬美元。

The hack inspired a ragtag community group called “SaveDogemas” to appear and donate tokens to those who lost them. However, after its unexpected rise to relevancy, it became clear that a bigger and more authoritative organization would be needed to keep the network safe going forward. 

這次駭客攻擊激發了一個名為「SaveDogemas」的烏合之眾社群團體的出現，並向失去代幣的人捐贈代幣。然而，在其相關性出乎意料地上升之後，很明顯需要一個更大、更權威的組織來確保網路的安全發展。

There’s no denying that the Dogecoin Foundation has achieved some incredible feats in its time, but it took a while before its community members fully embraced it. 

不可否認，狗狗幣基金會在其時代取得了一些令人難以置信的成就，但社區成員花了一段時間才完全接受它。

The Dogecoin Foundation was established in January 2014. It is composed of developers and community members. 

狗狗幣基金會成立於2014年1月，由開發者和社群成員組成。

Though the foundation aimed to incentivize Dogecoin’s growth and acceptance, it initially focused on charity work to help garner the token a positive reception.

儘管該基金會的目的是激勵狗狗幣的成長和接受度，但它最初專注於慈善工作，以幫助該代幣獲得積極的接受度。

In the same month, the foundation managed to fund two successful projects. The first, Doge4Water, saw the community raise $30,000 worth of Dogecoin at the time to build a well in the Tana River Basin in Kenya in partnership with Charity Water.

同月，基金會成功資助了兩個成功的計畫。第一個項目是 Doge4Water，社區當時籌集了價值 3 萬美元的狗狗幣，與 Charity Water 合作在肯亞塔納河流域建造了一口井。

The second was a fundraiser for the Olympic Jamaican Bobsled team, which had qualified for the Sochi Winter Olympics but couldn’t travel due to limited funds. The Dogecoin Foundation collected more than $25,000, which allowed the bobsledders to live out their dream. 

第二個是為牙買加雪橇隊舉辦的籌款活動，該隊已獲得索契冬奧資格，但由於資金有限而無法參賽。狗狗幣基金會籌集了超過 25,000 美元，幫助雪橇運動員實現了他們的夢想。

After the foundation’s early charity efforts, Dogecoin became seen as a ‘generous’ or ‘charitable token.’ 

在基金會早期的慈善努力之後，狗狗幣被視為一種「慷慨」或「慈善代幣」。

Many community members expressed concern over this on blogs and social media sites. In one particularly popular Reddit post from the time, users complained that their token was being given away too liberally: “Please stop saying we are a tipping currency and just for fun. We are serious too”. 

許多社群成員在部落格和社群媒體網站上表達了對此的擔憂。在當時 Reddit 上一篇特別受歡迎的貼文中，用戶抱怨他們的代幣被過於慷慨地贈送：「請停止說我們是一種小費貨幣，只是為了好玩。我們也是認真的」。

Most people targeted Eric Nakagawa, an outspoken foundation member who many claimed to be treating the token like too much of a charity and not a legitimate cryptocurrency.

大多數人都把目標瞄準了直言不諱的基金會成員埃里克·中川(Eric Nakakawa)，許多人聲稱他將代幣視為慈善機構，而不是合法的加密貨幣。

At the same time, thousands of Dogecoin holders had lost tokens to a scam led by Alex Green.’ Though Green had proposed that he was a well-intentioned trader who wanted to make buying and selling DOGE easier, he secretly did this to earn trust and gain donations before running off with the profits. 

與此同時，數千名狗狗幣持有者在亞歷克斯·格林領導的騙局中損失了代幣。儘管格林聲稱自己是一個善意的交易者，想讓買賣DOGE變得更容易，但他暗中這樣做是為了贏得信任並獲得捐贈，然後帶著利潤跑路。

As one developer explained, “Because the Dogecoin community was based wholly on generosity, we were like sheep to a slaughter.”

正如一位開發人員所解釋的那樣，“因為狗狗幣社區完全建立在慷慨的基礎上，所以我們就像待宰的羊。”

Clearly, the foundation had placed too much emphasis on charity, which led to some major players leaving the company by the end of 2014. 

顯然，該基金會過於重視慈善事業，導致一些主要參與者在2014年底離開了公司。

Ben Doernberg, who had attempted to stop the Alex Green debacle, and the aforementioned Eric Nakagawa were the biggest names to depart.

曾經試圖阻止亞歷克斯·格林慘敗的本·多恩伯格和前面提到的埃里克·中川是離開的大牌人物。

At the same time, Dogecoin was facing technical issues. The limit on the number of circulating Dogecoins was becoming an issue considering how popular the network had become, and this meant fewer miners were joining the blockchain, which made it less secure. 

同時，狗狗幣也面臨技術問題。考慮到該網路的流行程度，流通狗狗幣數量的限制正在成為一個問題，這意味著加入區塊鏈的礦工越來越少，從而降低了安全性。

All this resulted in onlookers and publications criticizing Dogecoin’s future, citing its sudden price drops and expressing that the foundation’s troubles were taking an “Immense toll” on the token itself. 

所有這一切導致圍觀者和出版物批評狗狗幣的未來，理由是其價格突然下跌，並表示基金會的麻煩正在對代幣本身造成「巨大損失」。

The Dogecoin Foundation would remain completely silent for seven years, with many presuming they had disbanded. 

狗狗幣基金會在長達七年的時間裡保持完全沉默，許多人認為他們已經解散了。

Despite this, Dogecoin still saw significant growth throughout this period, especially in surprising 2018, when it finally reached mainstream interest and briefly surpassed the $2 million market cap. 

儘管如此，狗狗幣在此期間仍然出現了顯著增長，尤其是在令人驚訝的 2018 年，它最終引起了主流的關注，並短暫超過了 200 萬美元的市值。

Just before the “Crypto Winter” crash at the tail end of the year, Dogecoin would see a value rise of 103% in April, compared to 40% for Bitcoin. 

就在年底「加密貨幣冬天」崩盤之前，狗狗幣 4 月的價值將上漲 103%，而比特幣則上漲 40%。

Dogecoin was riding high on the immense publicity it was receiving, but it would manage to keep up the momentum the following year thanks to favorable comments made by Elon Musk and a little help from Reddit’s WallStreetBots. 

狗狗幣因其受到的巨大宣傳而蒸蒸日上，但由於埃隆馬斯克的好評以及 Reddit 的 WallStreetBots 的一點幫助，它在第二年成功保持了這一勢頭。

Dogecoin survived despite the foundation’s absence, arguably doing

儘管基金會缺席，狗狗幣仍然倖存下來，可以說是在做
