特朗普品牌的模因硬幣淹沒了市場

最近幾週，創作者向錢包派出了700多個新的模因硬幣，許多人以特朗普或他的家人的名字命名，但他們都沒有任何正式聯繫。

Creators have sent more than 700 new meme coins to Donald Trump's crypto wallet in recent weeks – many named after him or his family members – despite none of them having any formal connection.

最近幾週，創作者已向唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的加密錢包（Donald Trump）的加密錢包（Donald Trump）派出了700多枚新的模因硬幣，儘管他們都沒有正式聯繫，但許多人以他或他的家人的名字命名。

Experts say speculators could be easily duped by the names, which make it seem like the fake coins are allied to the real $Trump cryptocurrency – which itself has seen a precipitous collapse in value – and risk the digital equivalent of being taken to the cleaners.

專家說，投機者很容易被名字欺騙，這使得偽造的硬幣與真正的$ trump加密貨幣結合在一起，這本身已經看到了巨大的價值崩潰 - 並冒著將數字等同的數字化的風險。

Eswar Prasad, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and an economics professor at Cornell University, told the Financial Times that by launching his own coin, Trump had “opened the floodgates to deception … and at a minimum to rampant speculation”.

布魯金斯學會的高級研究員，康奈爾大學的經濟學教授埃斯瓦爾·普拉薩德（Eswar Prasad）告訴《金融時報》，特朗普通過發起自己的硬幣，“為欺騙打開了閘門… …至少要越來越多地猜測”。

Ordinary investors buying fake or copycat coins, he said, “just exposes them to enormous risk”.

他說，普通的投資者購買了偽造或模仿硬幣，“只是將它們暴露給巨大的風險”。

More than 200 of the fake coins have had Trump family names, including Official Trump and Official Melania.

200多個假硬幣中有200多枚特朗普的姓氏，包括官方特朗普和官方梅拉尼亞。

The first lady launched her own official meme coin, $Melania, within days of her husband, which analysts say immediately halved the value of $Trump and sparked a slide that has continued since.

第一夫人在丈夫的幾天之內發起了自己的官方模因硬幣$ Melania，分析師說，立即將$ trump的價值減半，並引發了此後持續的幻燈片。

The names of four of Trump’s five children are also popular among the copycats, with his youngest son, Barron, accounting for 30, his daughter Ivanka next with 26, and older sons Don and Eric Jr with 14 between them.

特朗普的五個孩子中有四個孩子的名字在模仿者中也很受歡迎，他的小兒子巴倫（Barron）佔30歲，他的女兒伊万卡（Ivanka）接下來是26歲，大兒子唐（Don）和埃里克（Eric Jr）與他們之間的14歲。

Other new cryptocurrency found in the Trump wallet includes names like “Elon” and “Musk”, referring to the world’s richest man and presidential acolyte currently taking a wrecking ball to US federal institutions as a designated “special government employee”.

特朗普錢包中發現的其他新加密貨幣包括“埃隆”和“馬斯克”等名稱，指的是世界上最富有的人和總統侍從目前將破壞的球送給美國聯邦機構，稱為“特殊政府僱員”。

Six of the fake coins used the same name and symbol as Trump’s official currency, while others were more obvious scams, including Official Hitler and Poo Coin.

六個假硬幣中的六個使用了與特朗普的官方貨幣相同的名稱和符號，而其他人則更明顯，包括官方的希特勒和便便硬幣。

So keen were the scammers to get in on the act, the FT said, that fakes began appearing almost immediately after the real thing.

英國銀行說，騙子的騙子是如此，騙子說，假貨幾乎在真實事物之後就開始出現。

The first copycat coin was “minted” within 29 minutes of the announcement of the official Trump coin on his Truth Social platform on 18 January, while a speculator ahead of the game deposited the first Melania coin into the Trump digital wallet more than a day before the authentic version was launched.

1月18日，在他的真相社交平台上宣布官方特朗普硬幣後的29分鐘內，第一個模仿硬幣被“鑄造”，而比賽前的一名投機者將第一枚梅拉尼亞硬幣放入了特朗普數字錢包中。啟動了真實的版本。

Trump’s dalliance with the crypto market has drawn strong criticism from ethics watchdogs, economists and some industry insiders.

特朗普對加密貨幣市場的負擔引起了道德監管機構，經濟學家和一些行業內部人士的強烈批評。

Prasad told the Guardian last month: “The Trump meme coin represents the intersection of Trump’s grifting tendencies and his administration’s embrace of cryptocurrencies, along with his dismissive attitude toward government regulation.”

普拉薩德（Prasad）上個月對《衛報》（Guardian）說：“特朗普模因硬幣代表了特朗普的敏感趨勢和政府對加密貨幣的擁抱的交匯，以及他對政府監管的不屑一顧的態度。”
