特朗普硬幣大多在價值上下降了

經過短暫的泡沫，作為投機者購買了這些泡沫之後，兩枚特朗普硬幣的價值都大致下降了。在線雜誌社區中

Both Trump coins have largely seen their value plummet after a brief spike as speculators raced to buy them. Within the online Maga community – which has a certain degree of overlap with crypto enthusiasts – some feel betrayed by the president’s embrace of what some conservatives view as little better than a penny-stock pump-and-dump scam.

在短暫的尖峰之後，兩種特朗普的硬幣都在很大程度上看到了它們的價值，因為投機者競爭購買它們。在在線雜誌社區（與加密愛好者都有一定程度的重疊）中，有些人對總統對某些保守派認為比一分錢的泵和降低騙局更好的擁抱感到背叛了。

Trump, who in 2021 said bitcoin “seems like a scam”, has since flipped on the issue. He was widely expected to be a “pro-crypto” president, with the crypto sector hoping he would be a broadminded sheriff who would grant their financial frontier new legitimacy; instead he embarrassed them by initiating a gold-rush on meme coins, considered the riskiest and least reputable form of mainstream cryptocurrency.

特朗普在2021年說，比特幣“似乎是個騙局”，此後就在這個問題上翻轉了。人們普遍認為他將成為“親克萊托普”總統，加密貨幣部門希望他將成為一個寬闊的警長，他將授予其財務前沿的新合法性。取而代之的是，他通過在模因硬幣上發起金色朗什式的方式使他們感到尷尬，這被認為是主流加密貨幣的最風險，最受信譽的形式。

Unlike traditional crypto-currencies that are “mined” and used in a blockchain, meme coins cannot be used as electronic currency and are generally regarded as having no enduring value. They are “minted” to exploit a viral moment.

與“開採”並在區塊鏈中使用的傳統加密貨幣不同，模因硬幣不能用作電子貨幣，通常被視為沒有持久價值。它們是“鑄造”來利用病毒式時刻的。

“Now, on the cusp of getting some liberalization of crypto regulations in this country, the main thing people are thinking about crypto is, ‘Oh, it’s just a casino for these meme coins,’” Nic Carter, a Trump supporter and cryptocurrency investor, told the New York Post. “It does the opposite of validating us, it makes it look completely unserious.”

“現在，關於在這個國家獲得加密法規的自由化的風口，人們在考慮加密貨幣的主要事情是，'哦，這只是這些模因硬幣的賭場'，”尼克·卡特（Nic Carter） ，告訴《紐約郵報》。 “它與驗證我們相反，使它看起來完全不明顯。”

Similarly, keyboard Maga warriors who hoped that Trump would stick up for the American little guy are bitterly disappointed that he endorsed a financial scheme that immediately took little guys for a ride.

同樣，鍵盤雜誌勇士隊希望特朗普會堅持美國的小傢伙，他對自己認可的金融計劃感到非常失望，這立即帶小傢伙乘車。

The new president claimed his coin would “celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING!”, but not everyone seems persuaded.

新總統聲稱他的硬幣將“慶祝我們代表的一切：獲勝！”，但並不是每個人都說服。

“I wish Trump was more tempered on this,” someone on a conservative Reddit forum despaired after Trump’s coin debuted. “He owns casinos and knows the addiction of gambling.” Another argued that meme coins prey “on the poor and most desperate”.

“我希望特朗普對此更加溫和，”保守派Reddit論壇上的某人在特朗普的硬幣首次亮相後感到絕望。 “他擁有賭場，知道賭博的成癮。”另一個人爭辯說，模因硬幣“是窮人，最絕望的”。

“Can anyone make a cogent argument in favor of this?” one poster asked. Few did. “This is bad, and looks bad,” one person said.

“誰能提出一個有力的論點來支持這一點？”一張海報問。很少有。一個人說：“這很糟糕，看起來很糟糕。”

Others called the Trump token “degrad[ing] to the office of the Presidency”, “a lame money grab”, “a bad idea with a million ways to go wrong and derail his second term”, “shady”, and “kinda gross”. Another added, “This crypto is the most blatant ponzi scheme in history and we are the marks.”

其他人則稱特朗普的代幣為“向總統辦公室”，“ la腳的錢”，“一個不錯的主意，有一百萬的方式犯錯並脫軌了他的第二任期”，“ Shady”和“ Kinda總的”。另一個補充說：“這種加密是歷史上最公然的龐氏騙局，我們是標記。”

One conservative wrote that their litmus test was “if Biden pulled this shit, how would I feel? … I can’t imagine any other president doing this”.

一位保守派寫道，他們的試金石測試是“如果拜登拉了這個狗屎，我會感覺如何？ …我無法想像其他總統這樣做”。

“The GOP has to find someone better for 2028,” someone said – a sentiment that was surprisingly common. “I want a real man like Vance to run this,” someone else said.

某人說：“共和黨必須在2028年找到更好的人。”這種情緒令人驚訝地普遍。 “我希望像萬斯這樣的真正的男人能夠經營這個，”其他人說。

After a meme coin named IVANKA launched last week, Ivanka Trump was forced to clarify that she had no relationship with the venture, and condemned it as “being promoted without my consent or approval”. She said the coin “risks deceiving consumers and defrauding them of their hard-earned money”, an argument that some crypto critics might say applies to all meme coins, including Trump and Melania’s official tokens.

在上周伊萬卡（Ivanka）發起的一個模因硬幣後，伊万卡·特朗普（Ivanka Trump）被迫澄清說她與該合資企業沒有關係，並譴責它“未經我的同意或認可，被晉升”。她說，硬幣“冒著欺騙消費者並欺騙他們來之不易的錢”的說法，這一論點是，一些加密批評家可能會說適用於所有模因硬幣，包括特朗普和梅拉尼亞的官方代幣。

The famously conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board, influential in conservative circles, ran an editorial criticizing Trump’s turn as a crypto impresario. The piece noted a litany of legal, ethical and political problems with meme coins, “vehicles for speculation” that could open Trump to civil and criminal liabilities or be used by foreign adversaries to curry influence. “No careful President would get anywhere near this kind of political risk, and we can’t recall any President who has.”

著名的保守的華爾街日報編輯委員會在保守派界的影響力，進行了社論，批評特朗普的轉變為加密貨幣。這篇文章指出，模因硬幣的一系列法律，道德和政治問題，“猜測的車輛”，可以向民事和刑事責任打開特朗普，或者外國對手用來咖哩影響。 “沒有謹慎的總統會接近這種政治風險，我們不能回想起任何總統。”

The Trump token’s website contains a disclaimer noting that the tokens are “not intended to be, or to be the subject of, an investment opportunity, investment contract, or security of any type”, though that language probably does not bear much relation with how the average investor views a meme coin.

特朗普代幣的網站包含一個免責聲明，指出令牌“不打算或任何類型的投資機會，投資合同或安全性的主題”，儘管該語言可能與如何與普通投資者認為是模因硬幣。

Undeterred, Trump’s wider business empire is stepping further into this space. On Tuesday, the Trump Media and Technology Group, which operates Trump’s social media platform Truth Social, announced the launch of a financial technology brand called “Truth.Fi”, through which the company plans to invest up to $250m in crypto-currencies and “crypto securities”, and other investment accounts

特朗普的更廣泛的商業帝國並沒有避免，正進一步進入這個領域。週二，經營特朗普的社交媒體平台真相社交的特朗普媒體和技術集團宣布推出了一個名為“ Truth.fi”的金融技術品牌，該公司計劃通過該品牌投資於加密貨幣2.5億美元“加密證券”和其他投資帳戶
