特朗普推出了模因硬幣的目標瑪格·支持者

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的grift清單似乎是無窮無盡的，但是他在加密貨幣市場上的新股份可能會帶來他迄今為止最大的現金稅之一。

Convicted felon and former U.S. president Donald Trump has entered the cryptocurrency market with his own meme coin, $TRUMP. While this move is likely to bring him a massive cash haul, experts are concerned about his MAGA supporters losing money in the venture.

被定罪的重罪犯和美國前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）以自己的模因硬幣$ trump進入了加密貨幣市場。儘管這一舉動可能會給他帶來巨大的現金運輸，但專家們擔心他的瑪格（Maga）支持者在該冒險中損失了錢。

Trump's entry into the crypto market is not surprising, given his history of grifts and ventures designed to capitalize on his brand and notoriety. However, this latest move highlights the lack of regulation in the crypto space, which has allowed some high-profile figures to engage in "rug pulls" on their fans.

鑑於他旨在利用他的品牌和臭名昭著的雜物和冒險的歷史，特朗普進入加密貨幣市場並不奇怪。但是，這一最新舉措強調了加密貨幣領域缺乏法規，這使一些備受矚目的人物可以吸引粉絲的“地毯拉力”。

A "rug pull" occurs when creators of a digital coin, which has a limited supply, sell most or all of their personal stake after their fans substantially increase the value. This tanks the value of the coin and harms fans' investments.

當供應有限的數字硬幣的創建者出售大部分或全部個人利益之後，他們的粉絲大大提高了價值時，就會發生“地毯拉力”。這是硬幣的價值，並損害了球迷的投資。

One recent example is Haliey Welch, who rose to fame as the "Hawk Tuah" girl. After gaining overnight fame thanks to a bawdy viral video, Welch launched a podcast and later her own meme coin, $HAWK.

最近的一個例子是哈利·韋爾奇（Haliey Welch），他成為“霍克·圖阿（Hawk Tuah）”女孩的名聲。由於狂熱的病毒視頻，韋爾奇（Welch）發行了播客，後來又獲得了自己的模因硬幣$ hawk，因此獲得了一夜之間的名聲。

The value of Welch's coin soared after its December launch, but it plummeted a mere two hours later, leading Welch's fans to believe they were part of a "pump and dump" or "rug pull" scheme. Welch has since been embroiled in legal battles over the matter.

韋爾奇（Welch）的硬幣的價值在12月推出後飆升，但僅兩個小時後，它就會暴跌，導致韋爾奇（Welch）的粉絲們相信它們是“泵和垃圾場”或“地毯拉力”計劃的一部分。此後，韋爾奇一直因此事而捲入法律鬥爭。

Welch's team claims that what happened wasn't a "rug pull" and instead blames single parties for buying a majority of the coins and quickly selling them for a profit.

韋爾奇（Welch）的團隊聲稱，發生的事情不是“地毯拉動”，而是將單方歸咎於購買大部分硬幣並迅速出售它們以獲利。

However, the exploitation of buyers who are investing in crypto based on fandom alone is a major concern that ties back to Trump's meme coin ventures.

但是，僅基於狂熱的加密貨幣投資的買家的剝削是與特朗普的Meme Coin Ventures聯繫在一起的主要問題。

Crypto expert and fraud investigator Stephen Findeisen, known as Coffeezilla, expressed his disdain for Trump's latest marketing gimmick on X.

加密專家和欺詐調查員Stephen Findeisen（稱為Coffeaczilla）對特朗普在X上的最新營銷頭表示不屑。

Findeisen noted that "most" of the people destined to lose money on the $TRUMP coin will be his MAGA supporters, while 80% of the tokens will be vested to insiders during Trump's presidency.

Findeisen指出，“大多數”注定要損失$特朗普硬幣的人將是他的Maga支持者，而在特朗普擔任總統期間，80％的代幣將歸屬於內部人士。

"[This] should be a crime but crime is legal now [I guess?],” he wrote.

他寫道：“ [這]應該是犯罪，但現在犯罪是合法的[我想]。”

Jessica Tillipman, an anti-corruption and government ethics professor at George Washington University, told Daily Kos that this "black box" of potential profit Trump stands to gain from crypto sits atop a list of many other grifts in Trump's back pocket.

喬治·華盛頓大學的反腐敗和政府道德教授傑西卡·達里普曼（Jessica Tillipman）告訴《每日科斯》，特朗普將從加密貨幣中獲得的“黑匣子”在特朗普後面的許多其他grifts列表的上方。

And as Tillipman points out, there are no actual laws stopping a president from profiting off of the people he was elected to serve. Past presidents have acted in good faith without the pressure of legal ramifications—but Trump has never met a norm he wasn't happy to trample on.

正如Thilipman指出的那樣，沒有實際的法律阻止總統從他當選為服務的人民​​中獲利。過去的總統在沒有法律後果的壓力的情況下真誠地行事，但特朗普從未遇到過他不願踐踏的規範。

"We've always relied on this system of norms," she explained. "I think people were pretty surprised to see how few restrictions there were on what a president could do, because we hadn't seen this before."

她解釋說：“我們一直依靠這種規範系統。” “我認為人們很驚訝地看到對總統可以做什麼的限制很少，因為我們以前從未見過這一點。”

While restrictions are in place for presidential infractions such as outright bribery, crypto offers a gray area allowing foreign investors to potentially dump large funds into the coins as a workaround, Tillipman speculates.

雖然對諸如徹底賄賂的總統違法行為達成了限制，但加密貨幣提供了一個灰色區域，使外國投資者有可能以解決方法將大量資金轉移到硬幣中。

Trump's appointed artificial intelligence and crypto czar David Sacks has been notably silent on the $TRUMP launch. Daily Kos reached out to the tech investor and former Paypal CEO for comment but did not immediately hear back.

特朗普任命的人工智能和加密沙皇大衛·薩克斯（David Sacks）對特朗普的發射非常沉默。每日科斯（Daily Kos）與科技投資者和前貝寶（Paypal）首席執行官聯繫，但沒有立即聽到。

No one knows how much Trump will net from his (or his wife Melania's) meme coins. Some finance experts have speculated the windfall could reach the billions, as the value of the individual coins shoots up to $40 or more for the 200 million coins in rotation. A total of 1 billion coins will be "unlocked" over the course of three years, according to Quartz.

沒有人知道特朗普將從他（或他的妻子梅拉尼亞的）模因硬幣中賺錢。一些財務專家猜測，由於單個硬幣的價值為2億硬幣的旋轉量高達40美元或以上，因此這一意外收穫可能會達到數十億美元。 Quartz稱，在三年的時間裡，總共將“解鎖” 10億個硬幣。

While a Trump-affiliated company owns 80% of the coins, no one knows exactly how many of the coins are owned directly by the president. And even as Trump pushes his branding, his crypto trading platform, World Liberty Financial, is making multimillion-dollar moves as well.

雖然特朗普附屬公司擁有80％的硬幣，但沒人知道總統直接擁有多少硬幣。即使特朗普推動自己的品牌推廣，他的加密貨幣貿易平台世界自由金融也在做出數百萬美元的行動。

All in all, Trump is virtually guaranteed to profit from crypto—regardless of how his personal coin venture turns out.

總而言之，特朗普幾乎可以保證從加密貨幣中獲利 - 沒有他的個人硬幣冒險的結果。

Bibles, cologne, shoes, and now meme coins are fueling Trump's never-ending grift—and the newly inaugurated president stands to make untold millions off the very people who elected him in hopes that he would save them a buck or two on eggs and gas.

聖經，古龍水，鞋子和現在的模因硬幣正在助長特朗普永無止境的苦難- 新成立的總統代表將無數的成千上萬的人從當選他的人身上，希望他能為他們節省一到兩個雞蛋和氣體的錢。
