Trump crypto token raises ethical concerns

川普加密代幣引發道德擔憂

According to The Washington Post, Trump’s new project is called a meme coin.

根據《華盛頓郵報》報道，川普的新項目被稱為迷因幣。

A meme coin is a highly volatile token tied to an online trend or personality that people can buy and sell.

迷因幣是一種高度不穩定的代幣，與人們可以買賣的線上趨勢或個性有關。

In Trump’s case, it is an image of him pumping his fist, inspired by the July 2024 assassination attempt on his life.

在川普的例子中，這是他揮舞拳頭的圖像，靈感來自 2024 年 7 月對他的暗殺企圖。

According to the official website, over 1 billion $Trump tokens are set to be released over the next three years. Currently, over 200 million $Trump tokens are available.

據官方網站稱，未來三年將發行超過 10 億美元川普代幣。目前，有超過 2 億個 $Trump 代幣可供使用。

“Join the Trump Community. This is History in the Making!” the official website said.

“加入川普社群。這是正在創造的歷史！官網表示。

According to The Straits Times, the launch was immediately condemned by ethics lawyers, with many calling it an explicit profiteering effort by an incoming president.

根據《海峽時報》報道，這次發布立即遭到道德律師的譴責，許多人稱這是即將上任的總統明目張膽的牟取暴利的行為。

On 19 Jan local time, Trump’s First Lady, Melania Trump, promoted a second similar crypto token called $Melania.
