美國總統唐納德·特朗普批評推出模因幣，同時表示他對這種加密貨幣“了解不多”

在周一就職之前，名為川普的數位貨幣出現在他的社交媒體帳戶上，並迅速成為最有價值的加密貨幣之一。

US President Donald Trump has launched his own meme-coin, despite claiming he "doesn't know much" about the cryptocurrency.

美國總統川普推出了自己的迷因幣，儘管他聲稱自己對這種加密貨幣「了解不多」。

The digital coin, called TRUMP, appeared on his social media accounts ahead of his inauguration on Monday and quickly became one of the most valuable crypto coins.

這種名為「川普」的數位貨幣在周一就職前出現在他的社交媒體帳戶上，並迅速成為最有價值的加密貨幣之一。

The value of a single coin shot up to $75 within a day, but has since fallen to $39.

單枚硬幣的價值一天之內飆升至 75 美元，但此後已跌至 39 美元。

The launch of the meme-coin - a cryptocurrency with no utility other than for fun or speculation - has been widely criticized by industry insiders.

迷因幣——一種除了娛樂或投機之外沒有任何用處的加密貨幣——的推出受到了業內人士的廣泛批評。

"Trump's comments about not knowing much about the coin back up my opinion that he is making a mockery of the industry. It's a stunt," says Danny Scott, CEO of CoinCorner.

CoinCorner 執行長 Danny Scott 表示：“川普關於對加密貨幣不太了解的言論支持了我的觀點，即他是在嘲笑這個行業。這是一個噱頭。”

The latest dip in value came after Trump told reporters: "I don't know much about it other than I launched it, other than it was very successful."

最近一次價值下跌是在川普對記者表示：“除了我推出它之外，我對它知之甚少，除了它非常成功。”

When he was told his coin raised several billion dollars for him, he played it down, saying "several billion - that's peanuts for these guys," pointing to the tech billionaires who were assembled for a press conference about AI.

當他被告知他的硬幣為他籌集了數十億美元時，他淡化了說法，說“幾十億——這對這些人來說簡直就是小菜一碟”，他指的是聚集在一起參加有關人工智慧的新聞發布會的科技億萬富翁。

Meme-coins are often used by speculators to make money or by fans to show support for a celebrity or a moment in internet culture.

迷因幣經常被投機者用來賺錢，或是被粉絲用來表達對名人或網路文化時刻的支持。

It's not the first time Trump has sold crypto products. He made millions by launching a series of NFTs of himself in various superhero poses in 2022.

這並不是川普第一次出售加密產品。 2022 年，他推出了一系列自己擺出各種超級英雄姿勢的 NFT，賺了數百萬美元。

Some industry analysts say the president having his own meme coin is a sign that others should follow.

一些產業分析師表示，總統擁有自己的迷因幣是其他人應該效仿的跡象。

"TRUMP token just signaled to every company, municipality, university & individual brand that crypto can now be used as a capital formation and customer bootstrapping mechanism," Jeff Dorman from investing firm Arca posted online.

投資公司Arca 的 Jeff Dorman 在網路上發文表示：「川普代幣向每家公司、市政府、大學和個人品牌發出訊號，加密貨幣現在可以用作資本形成和客戶引導機制。

However, the overall sentiment seems to be negative towards the president's meme coin.

然而，整體情緒似乎對總統的迷因幣持負面態度。

Many in the crypto world are waiting for Trump to back up campaign promises to help boost the industry in the US. People like Danny Scott hope to see focused plans, particularly around Bitcoin, from the administration.

加密貨幣世界的許多人都在等待川普支持競選承諾，以幫助推動美國該行業的發展。像丹尼·斯科特這樣的人希望看到政府制定有針對性的計劃，特別是圍繞比特幣的計劃。

Last year, Trump promised Bitcoin fans he would make the US the "crypto capital of the planet." A few days into his term, the president has not issued executive orders involving cryptocurrency, nor has he mentioned it in his speeches.

去年，川普向比特幣粉絲承諾，他將使美國成為「地球的加密貨幣之都」。就任幾天后，總統尚未發布涉及加密貨幣的行政命令，也沒有在演講中提及。

TRUMP coin is now the 25th most valuable crypto coin with a value of around $8 billion, according to the website CoinMarketCap.

根據 CoinMarketCap 網站的數據，川普幣現在是第 25 個最有價值的加密貨幣，價值約 80 億美元。

Trump and the team behind it own 80% of the coins, so in theory, they would make billions of dollars if they sold their shares and the price remained the same.

川普及其背後的團隊擁有80%的代幣，因此理論上，如果他們出售股份並且價格保持不變，他們將賺數十億美元。

This set-up has been described by crypto researchers at K33 as outdated for similar tokens.

K33 的加密貨幣研究人員將這種設定描述為對於類似代幣來說已經過時了。

"There's no sugar-coating this - these tokenomics are horrendous for a meme-coin," said David Zimmerman, a K33 analyst.

K33 分析師 David Zimmerman 表示：“這沒有任何糖衣——這些代幣經濟學對於模因幣來說是可怕的。”

However, K33 analysts acknowledge that the remaining 80% of coins can't be dumped on the open market, so investors are partially shielded from price shocks.

然而，K33 分析師承認，剩餘 80% 的代幣無法在公開市場上傾銷，因此投資者可以部分免受價格衝擊的影響。
