唐納德·川普推出川普模因幣，面臨批評者的強烈反對

在正式成為美國第47 任總統的前一天，唐納德·川普(Donald Trump) 在加密貨幣領域掀起了波瀾——不是因為他即將於1 月20 日就職，而是因為推出了一種有爭議的、以他自己名字命名的迷因幣。

A day before officially becoming the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump made waves in the cryptocurrency landscape not for his upcoming inauguration on January 20, but for launching a controversial meme coin named after himself.

在正式成為美國第47 任總統的前一天，唐納德·川普在加密貨幣領域掀起波瀾，不是因為他即將於1 月20 日就職，而是因為推出了一款以他自己命名的有爭議的模因幣。

Launched on January 17, the crypto token dubbed as the TRUMP meme coin has sparked a considerable amount of discussion and is currently facing a backlash for what critics said was a questionable venture for the incoming President.

這種被稱為「川普迷因幣」的加密代幣於1 月17 日推出，引發了相當多的討論，目前正面臨批評者的強烈反對，因為批評者認為這對即將上任的總統來說是一個值得懷疑的冒險。

Critics Slam TRUMP Meme Coin Launch

批評者猛烈抨擊川普 Meme 硬幣的推出

While everyone is anticipating Trump’s incoming takeover of the White House, the US President-elect surprised the cryptocurrency community by launching his own meme coin on the Solana blockchain. This move has now sparked a firestorm of criticism which questioned if it is ethical for an American president to launch his meme coin.

雖然每個人都在期待川普即將入主白宮，但這位美國當選總統在 Solana 區塊鏈上推出了自己的迷因幣，令加密貨幣界感到驚訝。此舉現已引發了猛烈的批評，人們質疑美國總統推出他的迷因幣是否道德。

Popular YouTuber Stephen Findeisen, also known as Coffeezilla, believes that the launching, which is only days before Trump’s inauguration is off-timing, considering Trump will be appointing the new Chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

受歡迎的 Y​​ouTuber Stephen Findeisen（又名 Coffeezilla）認為，考慮到川普將任命美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 新任主席，在川普就職典禮前幾天推出這項產品並不合時宜。

“Dropping TRUMP memecoin 2 days before becoming president is nasty work. New SEC/DOJ guarantees no prosecution,” Findeisen said in his Tweet post.

「在成為總統前 2 天放棄川普 memecoin 是一項令人討厭的工作。新的 SEC/DOJ 保證不會起訴，」芬德森在推文中表示。

Other critics questioned Trump’s new venture which in their opinion somewhat blurred the boundaries of government and business.

其他批評者質疑川普的新舉措，他們認為這在某種程度上模糊了政府和企業的界線。

Even Trump’s former aide, Anthony Scaramucci slammed the new meme coin describing it as a form of “corruption”, arguing that the Trump token could adversely affect the broader digital asset market.

就連川普的前助手安東尼·斯卡拉穆奇也猛烈抨擊了新的模因幣，將其描述為一種“腐敗”，認為川普代幣可能會對更廣泛的數位資產市場產生不利影響。

The Trump meme coin stuff is bad for the industry. Don’t delude yourself. It’s Idi Amin level corruption.

川普模因硬幣的東西對該行業不利。不要欺騙自己。這是伊迪·阿明級別的腐敗。

Profiteering Move?

暴利之舉？

Campaign Legal Center executive director Adav Noti accused Trump of using the presidency for his personal gain, saying the TRUMP meme coin could be considered a profiteering effort.

競選法律中心執行董事阿達夫諾蒂指責川普利用總統職位謀取個人利益，稱川普表情包硬幣可能被視為牟取暴利。

According to reports, about 80% of the tokens will be distributed to individuals within the circle of the incoming president.

據報道，大約80%的代幣將分發給即將上任的總統圈內的個人。

“It is literally cashing in on the presidency — creating a financial instrument so people can transfer money to the president’s family in connection with his office. It is beyond unprecedented,” Noti told the New York Times.

「這實際上是在利用總統職位來賺錢——創建一種金融工具，這樣人們就可以將資金轉移到與總統辦公室有關的總統家人。這是史無前例的，」諾蒂告訴《紐約時報》。

The new meme coin also does not sit well with some personalities in the cryptocurrency industry seeing it as a dirty tactic.

新的迷因硬幣也與加密貨幣行業的一些人士格格不入，他們認為這是一種骯髒的策略。

“Trump owning 80 percent and timing launch hours before inauguration is predatory and many will likely get hurt by it,” former Coinbase executive Nick Tomaino said in a post.

Coinbase 前高層尼克·托馬諾(Nick Tomaino) 在一篇貼文中表示：「川普擁有80% 的股份，並將發佈時間安排在就職典禮之前，這是一種掠奪性行為，許多人可能會因此受到傷害。

Analysts said that the new Trump-based token needed only 15 minutes to reach a market capitalization of $400 million, saying the meme coin also pushed Solana’s native token SOL to an all-time high of $267.

分析師表示，基於川普的新代幣只需要 15 分鐘即可達到 4 億美元的市值，並稱該 meme 代幣還將 Solana 的原生代幣 SOL 推至 267 美元的歷史新高。

Ok yeah the new Trump memecoin website is deployed almost identically to his previous NFT website.

是的，新的川普 memecoin 網站的部署幾乎與他之前的 NFT 網站相同。

Same cloudflare setup, same deployment with Heroku, same SSL certificate issuer.

相同的 cloudflare 設定、與 Heroku 相同的部署、相同的 SSL 憑證頒發者。

Despite the backlash, data also showed that the new meme coin recorded over 12,000% adoption since it was launched.

儘管遭到強烈反對，數據也顯示，新的 Meme 硬幣自推出以來採用率超過 12,000%。

Market observers said that the coin’s value almost hit $35 before settling at about $29, adding that several crypto traders recorded gains with one investor reportedly making $50,000 to $1.1 million within a few hours.

市場觀察家表示，該代幣的價格在穩定在29 美元左右之前幾乎觸及35 美元，並補充說，幾位加密貨幣交易員錄得收益，據報道，一名投資者在幾個小時內賺了5 萬美元至110 萬美元。

However, it is too early to tell what the future of the token will be considering only 20% of the 1 billion TRUMP coins are in circulation. The remaining 80% of the tokens will be released in the next three years.

然而，考慮到 10 億枚 TRUMP 幣中只有 20% 正在流通，現在判斷代幣的未來還為時過早。剩餘80%的代幣將在未來三年內釋放。
