伊隆·馬斯克將領導新川普政府的「政府效率部」（DOGE）

唐納德·川普當選白宮第二個任期可能使比特幣在過去 24 小時內上漲了近 10%。

Donald Trump’s election to a second term in the White House may have had an unexpected impact on the cryptocurrency market.

唐納德·川普當選白宮第二個任期可能對加密貨幣市場產生了意想不到的影響。

While Bitcoin is up almost 10% in the last 24 hours, Dogecoin is also rallying. At one point in the last day, the meme token had gained as much as 16%, and it is now up 8%, according to CoinGecko.

雖然比特幣在過去 24 小時內上漲了近 10%，但狗狗幣也在上漲。根據 CoinGecko 的數據，在最後一天的某個時刻，meme 代幣漲幅高達 16%，目前已上漲 8%。

Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, has long touted Dogecoin as “the people’s crypto,” and now he is set to head the cheekily-named Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, in the new Trump administration.

世界首富伊隆馬斯克（Elon Musk）長期以來一直將狗狗幣吹捧為“人民的加密貨幣”，現在他將領導新川普政府中厚顏無恥地命名為“政府效率部”（DOGE）的部門。

A government commission announced by Trump a couple of months ago, DOGE will conduct a comprehensive financial and performance audit of the federal government, reminiscent of the Grace Commission initiated by President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.

川普幾個月前宣布成立政府委員會，DOGE 將對聯邦政府進行全面的財務和績效審計，讓人想起 20 世紀 80 年代羅納德·雷根總統發起的格雷斯委員會。

However, it’s worth noting that Trump has never referred to it as DOGE. The moniker is Musk’s playful twist.

不過，值得注意的是，川普從未稱之為DOGE。這個綽號是馬斯克的俏皮轉折。

Launched in 2013 as a lighthearted jest on cryptocurrency mania, Dogecoin has evolved into a major cryptocurrency. Its association with Musk became pronounced in 2021, and since then, he has often been seen as a driving force behind its popularity.

狗狗幣於 2013 年作為對加密貨幣狂熱的輕鬆玩笑而推出，現已發展成為主要的加密貨幣。它與馬斯克的聯繫在 2021 年變得明顯，從那時起，他經常被視為其受歡迎程度的推動力。

“My Dogecoin went up when you tweeted. You’re amazing, how do you do it? The power — the power of Elon Musk!,” exclaimed one Dogecoin investor as Musk was surrounded by reporters and enthusiastic fans in February 2021, during the early days of the last crypto bull market.

「當你發推文時，我的狗狗幣就上漲了。你真了不起，你是怎麼做到的？力量—伊隆馬斯克的力量！

In May 2021, Musk even named one of his SpaceX rockets “DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon,” a mission funded entirely by Dogecoin. The rocket was initially scheduled to launch in 2022, then in 2024, but was again delayed due to technical troubles.

2021 年 5 月，馬斯克甚至將他的 SpaceX 火箭之一命名為“DOGE-1 登月任務”，該任務完全由狗狗幣資助。該火箭最初計劃於 2022 年發射，隨後於 2024 年發射，但由於技術問題再次推遲。

Over time, Musk's influence on the Dogecoin price has waned. As the value of Dogecoin plummeted from its all-time high of $0.73 to under $0.20, so did the patience of retail investors. In 2022, a group of Dogecoin investors filed a lawsuit seeking $258 billion in damages from Musk, alleging he engaged in a pump-and-dump scheme.

隨著時間的推移，馬斯克對狗狗幣價格的影響力已經減弱。隨著狗狗幣的價值從 0.73 美元的歷史高點暴跌至 0.20 美元以下，散戶的耐心也隨之消失。 2022 年，一群狗狗幣投資者提起訴訟，要求馬斯克賠償 2,580 億美元的損失，指控他參與了拉高拋售計畫。

But in August, US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in Manhattan dismissed the case, asserting that Musk’s statements were merely “aspirational and puffery.”

但今年八月，美國曼哈頓地區法官阿爾文·海勒斯坦駁回了此案，稱馬斯克的言論只是「雄心勃勃且虛張聲勢」。

“It is not possible to understand the allegations that form the basis of Plaintiffs’ conclusion of market manipulation,” the judge noted.

「無法理解構成原告市場操縱結論基礎的指控，」法官指出。

Now, Musk's growing influence within the Trump administration may bring renewed optimism for Dogecoin investors and traders, especially as overall sentiment in the market begins to pick up.

現在，馬斯克在川普政府內日益增長的影響力可能會為狗狗幣投資者和交易員帶來新的樂觀情緒，尤其是在市場整體情緒開始回升的情況下。

Musk’s engagement with Dogecoin extends beyond public endorsements. He actively collaborated with its developers as early as 2019.

馬斯克對狗狗幣的參與超越了公眾認可的範疇。早在 2019 年，他就積極與其開發者合作。

That year, Dogecoin developer Ross Nicoll told Decrypt that Musk reached out to the developers, providing “lots of advice and input” on technical aspects and sharing his personal contacts with a team of four part-time Dogecoin developers.

那一年，狗狗幣開發者羅斯·尼科爾(Ross Nicoll) 告訴Decrypt，馬斯克向開發者伸出了援手，在技術方面提供了“大量建議和意見”，並與由四名兼職狗狗幣開發者組成的團隊分享了他的個人聯繫。

Musk made his collaboration with Doge public only in 2021 when he wrote on X that he was “[w]orking with Doge devs to improve system transaction efficiency.”

馬斯克直到 2021 年才公開與 Doge 的合作，當時他在 X 上寫道，他「正在與 Doge 開發人員合作，以提高系統交易效率」。

Musk also offered financial support to Dogecoin’s core team, but the developers declined his funding to maintain independence, according to Decrypt’s reporting at the time.

根據 Decrypt 當時的報​​導，馬斯克也向狗狗幣的核心團隊提供了財務支持，但開發商拒絕了他的資助以保持獨立性。

Dogecoin has attracted an unusual alliance of high-profile supporters. Billionaire Mark Cuban, a vocal Trump critic and one-time majority owner of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, began accepting Dogecoin as payment for tickets to games in March 2021. He described it as a “fun” and accessible entry point for new investors in crypto.

狗狗幣吸引了一個不尋常的高調支持者聯盟。億萬富翁馬克庫班(Mark Cuban) 是川普的直言不諱的批評者，也是達拉斯小牛隊籃球隊曾經的大股東，他於2021 年3 月開始接受狗狗幣作為比賽門票的支付方式。他將其描述為新投資者的一個「有趣」且易於使用的切入點。

Meanwhile, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin joined the Dogecoin Foundation’s advisory board in August 2021, alongside Musk, when the foundation reestablished itself after a six-year hiatus.

同時，以太坊聯合創始人維塔利克·布特林(Vitalik Buterin) 於2021 年8 月與馬斯克一起加入了狗狗幣基金會的顧問委員會，當時該基金會在中斷六年後重新成立。

Buterin had long proposed that Dogecoin shift toward a proof-of-stake model — similar to Ethereum’s significant upgrade away from energy-intensive mining called proof-of-work. His involvement was taken to mean that now the developers could explore that option.

Buterin 長期以來一直建議狗狗幣轉向權益證明模式——類似於以太坊從能源密集型挖礦（稱為工作量證明）的重大升級。他的參與被認為意味著現在開發商可以探索這個選擇。

But Dogecoin developer Michi Lumin clarified in December 2022 that there were no plans to implement a PoS transition. Lumin did not immediately respond to DL News’ request for comments.

但狗狗幣開發商 Michi Lumin 在 2022 年 12 月澄清，沒有計劃實施 PoS 過渡。 Lumin 沒有立即回應 DL News 的置評請求。
