在川普家族推出一系列模因幣後，彼得·希夫稱比特幣為“模因幣”

在川普家族推出一系列表情包硬幣後，著名經濟學家和比特幣 (BTC) 懷疑論者彼得希夫 (Peter Schiff) 很快就在社群媒體上發表了言論。

Economist Peter Schiff has claimed that Bitcoin is no better than meme coins after the Trump family launched their own crypto tokens.

在川普家族推出自己的加密代幣後，經濟學家彼得希夫聲稱比特幣並不比迷因幣好。

The inciting incident was an appearance by Anthony Pompliano on CNBC, in which the finance manager was asked by the host to explain what a meme coin is “for someone who's five.”

煽動事件是安東尼·龐普里亞諾 (Anthony Pompliano) 在 CNBC 節目中露面，主持人要求財務經理解釋“對於五歲的人來說”模因幣是什麼。

The host then suggested that the tokens launched by the Trump family could be explained in a similar way. However, Pompliano pushed back on this suggestion, arguing that the host was trying to get him to say that Bitcoin is a meme coin.

主持人隨後提出，川普家族推出的代幣也可以用類似的方式來解釋。然而，Pompliano 反駁了這個建議，認為主持人試圖讓他說比特幣是一種迷因幣。

“It's funny watching @APompliano on CNBC trying to explain what a meme coin is,” Schiff wrote in an X post. “The reason it's hard for him to do that is there's no real difference between $TRUMP and #Bitcoin. So it's a fine line to walk when explaining a meme coin without exposing the same fraud about Bitcoin.”

「在 CNBC 上觀看 @APompliano 試圖解釋模因幣是什麼，這很有趣，」希夫在 X 帖子中寫道。 「他之所以很難做到這一點，是因為 $TRUMP 和#Bitcoin 之間沒有真正的區別。因此，在解釋模因幣時，如果不揭露比特幣的同樣欺詐行為，那就是一條很好的路線。

Schiff's comments appear to be based on the fact that Bitcoin has also been trading on sentiment to a large extent, with the world’s premier cryptocurrency rising or falling sharply depending on whether the internet is feeling fearful, optimistic, or hyped up by the latest “bullish” meme.

希夫的評論似乎是基於這樣一個事實，即比特幣在很大程度上也是根據情緒進行交易的，世界上主要的加密貨幣的大幅上漲或下跌取決於互聯網是否感到恐懼、樂觀或被最新的“看漲”炒作。 ”模因。

Part of the reason for this is that the entire industry has devolved into another meme frequently seen on social media: calling the market a “casino.” However to be fair, this moniker has been used for the stock market and other financial markets long before cryptocurrencies came along.

造成這種情況的部分原因是整個行業已經演變為社交媒體上常見的另一個迷因：將市場稱為「賭場」。然而，公平地說，這個綽號早在加密貨幣出現之前就已經用於股票市場和其他金融市場。

At the same time, the fact that a concept or a technology is abused doesn't mean it's without a foundation, and perhaps the bigger issue with cryptocurrencies is that they have become definitively risky assets without doing much to address the “currency” part of their name.

同時，一個概念或一項技術被濫用的事實並不意味著它沒有基礎，也許加密貨幣的更大問題是它們已經成為絕對的風險資產，而沒有採取太多措施來解決其中的「貨幣」部分。他們的名字。

Indeed, using them as payment vehicles remains, nearly two decades later, complicated due to various factors, such as a lack of accessibility or unreasonably high transaction costs.

事實上，近二十年後，由於各種因素（例如缺乏可訪問性或交易成本過高），使用它們作為支付工具仍然很複雜。
