埃里克·川普要去月球

這位前總統的第二個兒子將自己重新塑造為加密貨幣兄弟，上週在一條推文中調侃說，他和哥哥小唐(Don Jr.)在區塊鏈上發布了“一項重大聲明” 。

Eric Trump has joined the crypto craze, teasing a "big announcement" with his brother, Don Jr., and revealing his newfound love for the digital currency world.

埃里克·川普 (Eric Trump) 加入了加密貨幣熱潮，與他的兄弟小唐 (Don Jr.) 戲弄了一項“重大聲明”，並透露了他對數位貨幣世界的新熱愛。

The second son of the former president shared the news on Twitter last week, writing, "Don and I have a big announcement coming down the blockchain. I have truly fallen in love with Crypto / DeFi."

這位前總統的二兒子上週在 Twitter 上分享了這一消息，並寫道：“Don 和我在區塊鏈上宣布了一項重大消息。我真的愛上了加密貨幣 / DeFi。”

He tagged his father, Don Jr., and the Trump Organization in the post, adding, "We're about to shake up the crypto world with something HUGE."

他在帖子中標記了他的父親小唐和特朗普集團，並補充道，“我們即將用一些巨大的東西來撼動加密貨幣世界。”

Don Jr. replied the next day, "Stay tuned crypto fans. Something big is coming down the blockchain."

第二天，小唐回復道：“請繼續關注加密貨幣粉絲。區塊鏈上即將有大事發生。”

While the兄弟have yet to reveal their highly anticipated project, Eric spoke to the New York Post on Wednesday to continue building excitement for the announcement.

雖然兄弟倆尚未透露他們備受期待的項目，但艾瑞克週三接受《紐約郵報》採訪，繼續為這項宣布營造興奮之情。

"It's digital real estate," Eric told the Post. "It's equitable. It's collateral anyone can get access to and do so instantly. I don't know if people realize what a shake-up that is for the world of banking and finance. I hope we can help change that."

「這是數位房地產，」艾瑞克告訴《華盛頓郵報》。 「這是公平的。它是任何人都可以立即獲得併使用的抵押品。我不知道人們是否意識到這對銀行和金融界來說是一個多麼大的變革。我希望我們能夠幫助改變這一點。

After highlighting the golden rule of trusting anyone who promises you instant access to wealth, Eric shifted gears and railed against the "financial discrimination" his family has faced, a curious way of avoiding the subject of the Trumps' various monetary woes.

在強調了信任任何承諾讓你立即獲得財富的人的黃金法則後，埃里克改變了態度，譴責他的家人所面臨的“財務歧視”，這是一種奇怪的方式來迴避特朗普家族的各種財務困境。

He concluded on a lighter note, expressing his desire to help build "a world where we don't have to play by the big bank's playbook."

他以輕鬆的語氣結束了演講，表達了他希望幫助建立「一個我們不必遵循大銀行劇本的世界」的願望。

Given that cryptocurrency and its cornerstone, Bitcoin, have enjoyed general mainstream awareness since at least 2017, it seems strange that Eric, 40, would choose now to start shilling for the coin.

鑑於加密貨幣及其基石比特幣至少自 2017 年以來就已獲得普遍主流認知，40 歲的艾瑞克現在選擇開始購買比特幣似乎很奇怪。

But in a strange coincidence of timing that likely has no greater significance, Eric's original tweet dropped the same day that the Donald J. Trump meme token saw its liquidity pulled, an exit scam known in the crypto world as a "rug pull."

但在一個奇怪的時間巧合中，埃里克的原始推文在唐納德·J·特朗普模因代幣的流動性被拉動的同一天被刪除，這種退出騙局在加密世界中被稱為「地毯拉動」。

This tactic sees a coin's creators hype it up, then abruptly vanish with investor funds, rendering it worthless.

這種策略是，代幣的創造者對其進行炒作，然後突然隨著投資者的資金消失，使其變得一文不值。

Because of the way the blockchain functions, it's impossible to know for sure who created the DJT coin earlier this year. Credit has been claimed by Martin ‘Pharma Bro’ Shkreli, who said in June that he had worked with Donald Trump’s 18-year-old son, Barron, to create the token.

由於區塊鏈的運作方式，我們無法確定今年早些時候誰創造了 DJT 幣。 Martin「Pharma Bro」Shkreli 聲稱這是他的功勞，他在 6 月表示，他與唐納德·川普 (Donald Trump) 18 歲的兒子巴倫 (Barron) 合作創建了該代幣。

“I have over 1000 pieces of evidence I created it with Barron,” he told crypto sleuth ZachXBT.

「我有超過 1000 條證據是我和 Barron 一起創造的，」他告訴加密貨幣偵探 ZachXBT。

When the coin lost 95 percent of its market value on Tuesday, Shkreli pointed to Barron, tweeting in response to a user asking him to comment on its plunge to "ask barron, I don't have the keys or any tokens."

週二，當該代幣市值下跌95% 時，什克雷利指向巴倫，並在推特上回應一位用戶要求他對代幣暴跌發表評論的言論，「問巴倫，我沒有鑰匙或任何代幣。

Shkreli did not immediately return a request for comment on Wednesday night. Nor did the Trump campaign, which has never formally acknowledged the DJT token or Shkreli's claims about Barron's involvement.

週三晚上，施克萊利沒有立即回覆置評請求。川普競選團隊也沒有正式承認 DJT 代幣或 Shkreli 關於巴倫參與的說法。

Crypto's DJT is not to be confused with Nasdaq's DJT, the ticker under which shares of the Trump Media & Technology Group trade.

不要將 Crypto 的 DJT 與納斯達克的 DJT 混淆，納斯達克的 DJT 是川普媒體科技集團股票交易的股票代碼。

Trump Media has suffered more setbacks than steps forward since publicly debuting in March, with the Truth Social owner admitting at the end of last week that it made $836,900 in revenue last quarter, a 30 percent drop from the year prior. Its quarterly losses amounted to $16.4 million, it said.

自 3 月公開亮相以來，川普媒體遭遇的挫折多於前進的步伐，Truth Social 所有者上週末承認，上季度收入為 836,900 美元，比去年同期下降 30%。該公司表示，其季度虧損達 1,640 萬美元。

After that Friday announcement, the stock hit an even lower low on Monday, plunging just over 5 percent as Trump returned to X for the first time in more than a year in advance of a live streamed interview with owner Elon Musk on the platform that night. Shares cratered out at $24.60, their lowest in months.

週五宣布這一消息後，該股週一跌至更低的低點，暴跌略多於5%，原因是川普一年多來首次重返X，並在當晚在該平台上對老闆埃隆馬斯克進行直播採訪。股價暴跌至 24.60 美元，創數月來最低。

Trump, Former Crypto Skeptic, Is Going All Out to Win the Bitcoin Bro Vote

前加密貨幣懷疑論者川普正在全力以赴贏得比特幣兄弟選票

As for the stock and coin's namesake, there was a time when the former president turned up his nose at cryptocurrency, unloading on it as “a scam” and “a disaster waiting to happen” in interviews as recently as 2021.

至於股票和代幣的同名者，這位前總統曾一度對加密貨幣嗤之以鼻，在 2021 年的採訪中將其斥為「一場騙局」和「一場即將發生的災難」。

“I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air,” he tweeted in 2019. “Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity.”

他在2019 年發推文表示：「我不喜歡比特幣和其他加密貨幣，它們不是貨幣，其價值波動很大，而且是憑空而來。不受監管的加密資產可能會助長非法行為，包括毒品交易和其他非法行為。

Trump's observations remain correct; the asset class is fundamentally unregulated and untethered to trust in the government or a central bank, leaving investors vulnerable to risk, ruin, and con artists of all shapes and sizes.

川普的觀察仍然正確；該資產類別基本上不受監管，也不受政府或中央銀行的信任，使投資者容易受到風險、破產和各種形式和規模的騙子的影響。

Since President Joe Biden took office, the Securities and Exchange Commission has filed dozens of actions against crypto firms and personalities. Biden himself has advocated for “appropriate guardrails” to be installed around the medium to better protect consumers and investors.

自喬·拜登總統上任以來，美國證券交易委員會已針對加密貨幣公司和人士提起了數十起訴訟。拜登本人就主張在媒體周圍設置“適當的護欄”，以更好地保護消費者和投資者。
