一名幸運的加密貨幣交易者將 Iggy Azalea 的 MOTHER Meme 硬幣從 3000 美元變成了 900 萬美元

這位不修邊幅的饒舌歌手的代幣引發了財富和對名人加密貨幣的憤怒。

Rapper Iggy Azalea's MOTHER token hit another all-time high on Thursday, extending the gains for Solana's latest hot meme coin and inviting criticism of the highly risky, sometimes infamous subsector of celebrity cryptocurrencies.

饒舌歌手 Iggy Azalea 的 MOTHER 代幣週四再創新高，擴大了 Solana 最新熱門 meme 代幣的漲幅，並招致了對高風險、有時臭名昭著的名人加密貨幣子行業的批評。

Just over a week after launch, the MOTHER token has reached a market cap of $200 million, minting millionaires among some iron-handed gamblers who saw 90% price gains in the last 24 hours alone. Azalea has transformed her powerful X (formerly Twitter) account into a platform for promoting the token to her 8 million followers.

推出僅一周多後，MOTHER 代幣的市值就達到了 2 億美元，在一些鐵腕賭徒中創造了百萬富翁，他們僅在過去 24 小時內就看到了 90% 的價格上漲。 Azalea 已將她強大的 X（以前的 Twitter）帳戶轉變為一個向她的 800 萬粉絲推廣代幣的平台。

Those eye-watering totals vaulted MOTHER into the upper echelons of Solana's fast-growing meme coin sector. These days anyone can, in minutes, create a token lampooning anything. Here, the someone is Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, and the something is, well, a photo of her backside.

這些令人瞠目結舌的總數使 MOTHER 躋身 Solana 快速成長的迷因幣產業的上層。如今，任何人都可以在幾分鐘內創造一個諷刺任何事物的象徵。在這裡，這個人是澳洲說唱歌手 Iggy Azalea，而那個東西是她的背面照片。

MOTHER is the second-largest asset by market capitalization to emerge from meme coin factory Pump.Fun, the outpost partially responsible for flooding Solana with half a million new tokens in May alone, per The Block. Gamblers who bought MOTHER on Pump.Fun and held are sitting on a massive windfall. The top wallet had around $3,200 of the token on May 28; on Thursday morning its position was worth nearly $9 million.

根據 The Block 報道，按市值計算，MOTHER 是 Meme 代幣工廠 Pump.Fun 中出現的第二大資產，該前哨基地僅在 5 月份就向 Solana 注入了 50 萬枚新代幣。在 Pump.Fun 上買入並持有 MOTHER 的賭徒將獲得巨額意外之財。 5 月 28 日，頂級錢包擁有約 3,200 美元的代幣；週四上午，其頭寸價值近 900 萬美元。

Like many meme coins, MOTHER claims no value proposition whatsoever. Holders don't get payouts from album sales, as some royalty-infused NFTs do. They also lack the voting rights that some fan tokens issued by football teams carry. MOTHER's value is purely a function of demand for a coin that some speculators are betting might climb higher still.

與許多模因幣一樣，MOTHER 沒有任何價值主張。持有者不會像一些注入版稅的 NFT 那樣從專輯銷售中獲得報酬。他們也缺乏足球隊發行的一些球迷代幣所擁有的投票權。 MOTHER 的價值純粹是對代幣需求的函數，一些投機者押注這種代幣可能會繼續攀升。

All that froth has renewed scrutiny of so-called celebrity tokens.

所有這些泡沫都重新引發了對所謂名人代幣的審查。

On Wednesday, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin blasted celebrity tokens that tout "financialization as a means to an end" and lack some greater purpose. Hours later, Azalea subtweeted him with a photoshopped image depicting herself breastfeeding an infant Buterin. "He was just hangry," she wrote, using slang for hunger-induced crankiness.

週三，以太坊創始人維塔利克·布特林(Vitalik Buterin)猛烈抨擊了名人代幣，這些代幣宣揚“金融化是達到目的的手段”，但缺乏更大的目的。幾個小時後，阿塞莉亞在他的推特上轉發了一張經過處理的照片，照片中她正在給嬰兒布特林餵奶。 「他只是餓了，」她寫道，用俚語來形容飢餓引起的暴躁。

That cheeky aside brought more criticism from crypto's philosophical corner. Hayden Adams, creator of the decentralized trading protocol Uniswap who pioneered the token-swapping tech behind on-chain trading of meme coins and basically everything else, chastised Azalea for lampooning "the best builder in the entire space" while failing to harness her crypto foray for some higher purpose.

這種厚顏無恥的一面招致了更多來自加密貨幣哲學角落的批評。海登·亞當斯(Hayden Adams) 是去中心化交易協議Uniswap 的創建者，他開創了meme 幣和其他所有東西的鏈上交易背後的代幣交換技術，他批評Azalea 諷刺“整個領域最好的建設者”，卻未能利用她的加密貨幣進軍為了一些更高的目的。

What began as a million-dollar joke has since spiraled into a debate about the point of crypto itself.

這個原本只是一個價值百萬美元的笑話，後來演變成一場關於加密貨幣本身意義的爭論。

Early on Thursday, market-making kingpin Wintermute's Evgeny Gaevoy belittled Adams' and Buterin's efforts to "solve capitalism." "Idk guys I’m with Iggy on this one🙃," he posted on X.

週四早些時候，做市商 Wintermute 的 Evgeny Gaevoy 貶低了 Adams 和 Buterin 為「解決資本主義」所做的努力。 「我不知道，夥計們，我和 Iggy 一起參與這個🙃，」他在 X 上發文。

Still, MOTHER has a long way to go before graduating into the meme coin big leagues. Blockgraze, a pseudonymous crypto trader who turned $1,500 into millions of dollars by betting early on Dogwifhat (WIF), said celebrity coins such as MOTHER face more "failure vectors" than regular joke tokens.

儘管如此，MOTHER 在進入模因幣大聯盟之前還有很長的路要走。 Blockgraze 是一位匿名加密貨幣交易員，他透過早期押注Dogwifhat (WIF) 將1,500 美元變成了數百萬美元，他表示，像MOTHER 這樣的名人代幣比普通的笑話代幣面臨更多的「失敗向量」。

"In addition to all the ways a regular meme coin can fail you have all the added mistakes and risks from tying yourself to her personally. She can get bored, tweet the wrong thing, face personal legal action/whatever else," Blockgraze said.

「除了普通迷因硬幣可能失敗的所有方式之外，你還會因將自己與她個人聯繫在一起而面臨所有額外的錯誤和風險。她可能會感到無聊，在推特上發布錯誤的內容，面臨個人法律訴訟/其他任何事情，」Blockgraze 說。

Azalea's ascension as chief bull poster is helping prop up MOTHER's price in ways few other celebrity tokens have been able to attain. Her X posts circulate raunchy memes every hour dunking on the haters and fueling more attention – and hype – for MOTHER. She's also changed her profile photo to a Mad Lads NFT, the most valuable collectible on Solana.

Azalea 晉升為首席牛市海報正在以其他名人代幣無法達到的方式幫助支撐 MOTHER 的價格。她的 X 貼文每小時都會傳播一些不雅的表情包，向那些仇恨者灌籃，並為 MOTHER 引發更多關注和炒作。她還將個人資料照片改為 Mad Lads NFT，這是 Solana 上最有價值的收藏品。

"The Iggy coin itself is only really interesting because she seems to be trying to stick with it and so far the price reflects people appreciating that," Blockgraze said.

「Iggy 幣本身非常有趣，因為她似乎試圖堅持使用它，到目前為止，價格反映了人們對此的讚賞，」Blockgraze 說。

Celebrities have a mostly infamous history with promoting cryptos. There's Larry David's flashy FTX super bowl ad, which spawned lawsuits from customers of the failed, fraudulent exchange. Ex-boxer Floyd Mayweather landed himself in hot water twice over scammy promotions. And Kim Kardashian faced SEC penalties for boosting a token.

名人在推廣加密貨幣方面有著一段臭名昭著的歷史。拉里·大衛 (Larry David) 華麗的 FTX 超級碗廣告引發了失敗的欺詐性交易所客戶的訴訟。前拳擊手弗洛伊德梅威瑟因促銷詐騙而兩次陷入困境。金卡戴珊 (Kim Kardashian) 因提升代幣而面臨美​​國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 的處罰。

MOTHER differs from those in many respects, not least its closeness to the source. While it's unclear if Azalea herself created the token on Pump.Fun, it's technically plausible that she did. Regardless, she's been promoting the asset since its earliest moments.

MOTHER 在許多方面與那些不同，尤其是它與源頭的接近。雖然尚不清楚 Azalea 本人是否在 Pump.Fun 上創建了該代幣，但從技術上來說，她確實是這樣做的。不管怎樣，她從一開始就一直在宣傳這項資產。

The token's so-called "dev wallet" (Pump.Fun labels token creator wallets as "devs" despite needing no technical skill to make a token) held nearly $5 million of MOTHER Thursday.

該代幣所謂的“開發者錢包”（Pump.Fun 將代幣創建者錢包標記為“開發者”，儘管無需技術技能即可製作代幣）週四持有近 500 萬美元的 MOTHER。

Azalea wasn't immediately available for an interview Thursday. In a post on X in late May she outlined some of her reasoning:

阿塞莉亞週四未能立即接受採訪。在五月下旬的 X 帖子中，她概述了她的一些推理：
