川普的 Meme 代幣的推出削弱了加密產業獲得主流接受的希望

唐納德·特朗普總統和他的妻子推出模因幣後，他在加密貨幣行業的商譽受到了打擊

President Donald Trump's foray into the cryptocurrency realm with his own meme coin has drawn mixed reactions, with some crypto fans expressing disappointment and concern over the move.

唐納德·特朗普總統用自己的模因幣進軍加密貨幣領域引起了不同的反應，一些加密貨幣粉絲對此舉表示失望和擔憂。

Trump and his wife, Melania, each announced their own meme coins on Friday, offering them to supporters as a way to show their backing for the former president. However, the move has raised questions about whether it aligns with Trump's goal of presenting crypto as a legitimate asset class.

週五，川普和他的妻子梅蘭妮亞各自宣布了自己的表情包硬幣，並將其提供給支持者，以表達對這位前總統的支持。然而，此舉引發了人們的質疑，即它是否符合川普將加密貨幣作為合法資產類別的目標。

The cryptocurrency industry, which had a strained relationship with the Biden administration and its focus on regulating digital assets, had high hopes for Trump's presidency in terms of advancing crypto's integration into mainstream financial systems.

與拜登政府關係緊張且專注於監管數位資產的加密貨幣產業對川普總統在推動加密貨幣融入主流金融體系方面寄予厚望。

Trump has pledged to lighten the regulatory burden on crypto and appointed officials who are supportive of the industry to key government positions. As a result, the price of bitcoin and other digital assets has surged since Trump's victory.

川普承諾減輕加密貨幣的監管負擔，並任命支持該行業的官員擔任關鍵政府職位。結果，自從川普獲勝以來，比特幣和其他數位資產的價格飆升。

A lavish "Crypto Ball" was held on Friday ahead of Trump's inauguration, with tickets costing thousands of dollars and a performance by Snoop Dogg. But as the party was winding down, Trump announced his own cryptocurrency venture on social media.

在川普就職典禮前夕，週五舉行了一場盛大的“加密舞會”，票價高達數千美元，史努比狗狗還有表演。但隨著派對的結束，川普在社群媒體上宣布了自己的加密貨幣事業。

The news reportedly dampened the spirits of many in the crypto community, who had hoped to distance themselves from such tactics.

據報道，這項消息打擊了加密社區許多人的情緒，他們原本希望遠離這種策略。

"I really was kind of bummed out when I saw it," said Tom Schmidt, a partner at Dragonfly, a crypto venture capital firm. "It just felt very grifty and cheap."

加密風險投資公司 Dragonfly 的合夥人湯姆·施密特 (Tom Schmidt) 表示：“當我看到它時，我真的有點沮喪。” “這感覺非常骯髒和廉價。”

Some crypto enthusiasts even joked on social media that they missed Gary Gensler, the recently departed SEC chairman who was seen as the Biden administration's main antagonist towards crypto due to the SEC's aggressive enforcement actions against crypto companies.

一些加密貨幣愛好者甚至在社群媒體上開玩笑說，他們懷念最近離職的SEC 主席加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler)，由於SEC 對加密貨幣公司採取了積極的執法行動，他被視為拜登政府對加密貨幣的主要反對者。

Meme coins are a largely unregulated and volatile segment of the cryptocurrency market. They typically begin as a joke with no inherent value but can rapidly gain in price if a critical mass of people decide to buy them.

Meme 幣是加密貨幣市場中基本上不受監管且不穩定的部分。它們通常一開始只是一個玩笑，沒有內在價值，但如果有足夠多的人決定購買它們，價格就會迅速上漲。

Dogecoin, whose mascot is a Shiba Inu dog, and Fartcoin are two well-known meme coins. Scammers have also attempted to inflate the price of certain meme coins before quickly selling them off, leaving unsuspecting investors with large losses.

吉祥物是柴犬的狗狗幣和放屁幣是兩種著名的迷因幣。詐騙者也試圖抬高某些迷因幣的價格，然後迅速將其出售，讓毫無戒心的投資者蒙受巨大損失。

Despite the risks, some crypto enthusiasts welcomed the launch of the Trump meme coin, and eager buyers quickly drove up its price to over $70 each. The price fell sharply on Sunday after Melania Trump announced her own meme coin, which also experienced an initial spike followed by a significant drop.

儘管存在風險，一些加密貨幣愛好者還是對川普迷因幣的推出表示歡迎，熱切的買家很快就將其價格推高至每枚 70 美元以上。在梅拉尼婭·川普宣布推出自己的迷因幣後，週日價格大幅下跌，該幣也經歷了最初的飆升，隨後大幅下跌。

Trump's meme coin was trading at around $45 on Tuesday afternoon, while Melania's meme coin was at about $4.

週二下午，川普的表情包幣交易價格約為 45 美元，而梅蘭妮亞的表情包幣價格約為 4 美元。

Trump named SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda as the agency's acting chief on Tuesday, and Uyeda promptly announced the formation of a new crypto task force to guide the SEC on a "sensible regulatory path."

週二，川普任命 SEC 專員 Mark Uyeda 為該機構代理負責人，Uyeda 立即宣布成立一個新的加密貨幣工作小組，以指導 SEC 走上「明智的監管道路」。

Trump has also promised to establish a U.S. bitcoin stockpile and enact industry-friendly regulations that would facilitate crypto companies' access to the broader financial market.

川普也承諾建立美國比特幣庫存，並制定有利於該行業的法規，以促進加密貨幣公司進入更廣泛的金融市場。

However, by closely aligning himself with meme coins, some crypto enthusiasts believe Trump may be hindering his ability to enact these reforms.

然而，一些加密貨幣愛好者認為，透過與迷因幣緊密結合，川普可能會阻礙他實施這些改革的能力。

"Now, at 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,'" said Nic Carter, a Trump supporter and partner at Castle Island Ventures, a crypto investment firm. "It does the opposite of validating us; it makes it look completely unserious."

川普的支持者兼合夥人尼克卡特(Nic Carter) 表示：「現在，在這個國家即將放開加密貨幣監管的風口浪尖上，人們對加密貨幣的主要想法是，'哦，這只是這些模因幣的賭場。 “這與驗證我們相反；它讓它看起來完全不嚴肅。”

The Trump meme coin sale was handled by CIC Digital, an affiliate of the Trump Organization. Trump urged his supporters to "Have Fun!" in a statement promoting the meme coin.

川普表情包代幣的銷售由川普集團的附屬機構 CIC Digital 負責。川普敦促他的支持者“玩得開心！”在推廣迷因幣的聲明中。

The website where the tokens are sold states that they are intended as a way to show support and not as an investment opportunity. According to the coin's website, 200 million Trump meme coins are currently available, with plans to issue 1 billion over the next three years.

出售代幣的網站表示，它們的目的是為了表達支持，而不是作為投資機會。據該幣網站稱，目前有 2 億枚川普迷因幣可供使用，並計劃在未來三年內發行 10 億枚。

The Trump family business recently adopted an ethics agreement that bars Trump from "day-to-day" decision-making at the Trump Organization during his presidency and restricts the sharing of financial information about the business with him.

川普家族企業最近通過了一項道德協議，禁止川普在擔任總統期間參與川普集團的「日常」決策，並限制與他分享有關該企業的財務資訊。

The president and first lady were not the only ones promoting new cryptocurrencies during the inauguration week. Lorenzo Sewell, the Michigan pastor who delivered a spirited inaugural invocation on Monday, also announced the launch of a new coin named after him, which he said would benefit his church.

總統和第一夫人並不是唯一在就職週期間推廣新加密貨幣的人。密西根州牧師洛倫佐·休厄爾(Lorenzo Sewell)週一發表了熱情洋溢的就職祈禱文，他還宣布推出一種以他的名字命名的新硬幣，他說這將使他的教會受益。

"I need you to do me a favor right now; I need you to go buy the official Lorenzo Sewell coin," Sewell said in a video message posted on social media.

「我現在需要你幫我一個忙；我需要你去購買洛倫佐·休厄爾官方硬幣，」休厄爾在社群媒體上發布的視訊訊息中說道。
