瑪克辛·沃特斯批評川普進入加密貨幣市場，稱川普代幣是“最糟糕的加密貨幣”

加州眾議員瑪克辛沃特斯 (Maxine Waters) 批評了唐納德川普總統最近進入加密貨幣市場，特別是川普官方代幣 (TRUMP) 的推出。

Top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee Maxine Waters has slammed President Donald Trump's recent foray into the cryptocurrency market with the launch of the Official Trump (TRUMP) token.

眾議院金融服務委員會民主黨領袖瑪克辛·沃特斯 (Maxine Waters) 猛烈抨擊了唐納德·特朗普總統最近推出官方特朗普 (TRUMP) 代幣，進軍加密貨幣市場。

The congresswoman warned that the move could trigger increased regulatory scrutiny of the crypto industry and place investors at risk of losing their funds.

這位女議員警告說，此舉可能會引發對加密貨幣行業的更嚴格的監管審查，並使投資者面臨失去資金的風險。

In a statement on Friday, Waters said she was against the Trump token, describing it as “the worst of crypto.”

沃特斯在周五的聲明中表示，她反對川普代幣，並將其描述為「最糟糕的加密貨幣」。

“I am against the Trump coin. It is the worst of crypto. It might also lead to more attention from regulators on the crypto industry,” her statement read.

“我反對川普幣。這是最糟糕的加密貨幣。這也可能引起監管機構對加密行業的更多關注。

She expressed concern over the potential for manipulation in the coin's sales, given the involvement of Trump's associates in the project.

鑑於川普的同事參與了該項目，她對代幣銷售可能被操縱的可能性表示擔憂。

“This coin is being pushed by Trump's associates and it could be used to manipulate investors. Also, because it is a memecoin, it is not covered by any securities laws,” Waters stated.

「這種代幣是由川普的同夥推動的，它可以用來操縱投資者。此外，由於它是一種模因幣，因此不受任何證券法的管轄。

The congresswoman also raised concerns about the anonymous nature of the token buyers, which could allow them to use the coin to evade national security and anti-corruption laws.

這位女議員也對代幣買家的匿名性質表示擔憂，這可能使他們能夠使用代幣來逃避國家安全和反腐敗法。

“There is also a troubling lack of transparency around the buyers of this coin. Anyone globally, even individuals who have been sanctioned by the U.S. or banned from our capital markets, can now trade and profit off of $TRUMP through various unregulated platforms,” her statement noted.

「這種代幣的買家也缺乏透明度，令人不安。全球任何人，甚至是受到美國制裁或被禁止進入我們資本市場的個人，現在都可以透過各種不受監管的平台進行 $TRUMP 交易並從中獲利，」她的聲明指出。

She further highlighted the lack of protection for investors in the coin's user agreement, which reportedly includes a clause barring customers who are defrauded from filing class-action suits.

她進一步強調了該代幣的用戶協議缺乏對投資者的保護，據報道其中包括一項條款，禁止受騙的客戶提起集體訴訟。

“The user agreement also includes a provision that seems to be designed to prevent investors who are defrauded by this coin from filing class-action lawsuits to recoup their losses,” Waters stated.

沃特斯表示：“用戶協議還包括一項條款，似乎旨在防止被該代幣欺騙的投資者提起集體訴訟以挽回損失。”

The congresswoman also highlighted the possibility of Trump's insiders dumping their assets, which could leave investors with nothing in a rug pull scenario.

這位女議員也強調了川普內部人士拋售資產的可能性，這可能會讓投資者陷入困境。

“Finally, investors should be aware that Trump and his close associates could dump their holdings of this coin at any time, leaving investors with nothing in a rug pull,” she said.

「最後，投資者應該意識到，川普和他的親密夥伴可能隨時拋售他們持有的這種代幣，讓投資者一無所有，」她說。

Trump's memecoin raises questions on crypto legitimacy

川普的迷因幣引發了對加密貨幣合法性的質疑

The launch of the TRUMP token has not remained unnoticed in the crypto space. While some have backed the coin as a fun concept, others, including Waters, have pointed out the potential to damage the industry's reputation.

TRUMP 代幣的推出在加密貨幣領域並沒有被忽視。雖然有些人支持這種硬幣作為一個有趣的概念，但包括沃特斯在內的其他人則指出了可能損害該行業聲譽的可能性。

In her statement, Waters highlighted the crypto industry's efforts to gain recognition and be treated similarly to classical financial organizations. She suggested that Trump and his team's actions could complicate these processes and lead to more stringent measures and scrutiny from lawmakers.

沃特斯在聲明中強調了加密貨幣行業為獲得認可並獲得與傳統金融組織類似的待遇而做出的努力。她表示，川普及其團隊的行為可能會使這些過程變得複雜，並導致立法者採取更嚴格的措施和審查。

“The launch and sale of this coin is yet another reason why all Americans and policymakers should exercise extreme caution on crypto,” the congresswoman stated.

這位國會女議員表示：“這款硬幣的發行和銷售是所有美國人和政策制定者應對加密貨幣保持極度謹慎的另一個原因。”

The TRUMP token was launched on January 17, followed by the same day, the launch of another memecoin by Trump's wife, Melania Trump.

川普代幣於 1 月 17 日推出，同一天，川普的妻子梅拉尼婭·川普推出了另一種迷因幣。

Kiyosaki criticizes speculative trend

清崎批評投機趨勢

Author Robert Kiyosaki also criticized the TRUMP memecoin, stating that the current direction of the crypto industry towards meme coins is not beneficial for the development of crypto as the future of finance. Kiyosaki, who often supports such assets as gold, silver, and Bitcoin, noted that memecoins like TRUMP are a sign of a dangerous trend.

作者 Robert Kiyosaki 也批評了 TRUMP memecoin，指出當前加密產業向 meme 幣的發展方向不利於加密貨幣作為金融未來的發展。經常支持黃金、白銀和比特幣等資產的清崎指出，像川普這樣的迷因幣是危險趨勢的標誌。

“What do I think about TRUMP COIN? Not much. Unfortunately, the whole crypto world is becoming a ‘tranny’ transforming from the ‘future’ to a ‘farce,'” Kiyosaki tweeted on January 18.

“我對川普幣有何看法？不多。不幸的是，整個加密世界正在變成一場從‘未來’轉變為‘鬧劇’的‘變性人’，」Kiyosaki 於 1 月 18 日發推文。

“I hold my course buying real Gold, real silver, and real Bitcoin. As a personal rule I do not invest in any ETFs. I am old and old people get wiped out in speculative manias. Good Luck.”

「我堅持購買真正的黃金、真正的白銀和真正的比特幣。作為個人規則，我不投資任何 ETF。我老了，老人們在投機狂熱中被消滅了。祝你好運。

There has also been criticism of the distribution of the TRUMP token, with assertions that 80% of the tokens are located in Trump's wallet and no lock-up period has been set.

也有人對 TRUMP 代幣的分配提出批評，聲稱 80% 的代幣位於川普的錢包中，並且沒有設定鎖定期。

Balaji Srinivasan, the former CTO of Coinbase, called meme coins a “zero-sum lottery.” Kiyosaki's statement on Friday seems to align with this view.

Coinbase 前技術長 Balaji Srinivasan 將迷因幣稱為「零和彩票」。清崎週五的聲明似乎與這一觀點一致。

“Trump needs to fire his crypto advisors, from top to bottom, and replace them with people who know what they are doing,” said Gabor Gurbacs, founder of PointsVille.

PointsVille 創辦人 Gabor Gurbacs 表示：“川普需要從上到下解僱他的加密貨幣顧問，並用知道自己在做什麼的人來取代他們。”

“The meme coins are costing the US, the presidency, his family a lot of credibility, and the consequences of this haven't even started.”

“模因幣正在讓美國、總統和他的家人失去很多信譽，而其後果甚至還沒有開始。”
