儘管專家押注比特幣，但川普和羅根在播客中冷落加密貨幣

在周日發布的一期備受期待的播客節目中，總統候選人唐納德·川普花了三個小時與主持人喬·羅根交談，但沒有提到加密貨幣或比特幣。

Presidential candidate Donald Trump spent three hours talking to host Joe Rogan in a much-anticipated podcast episode released on Sunday, but cryptocurrency or bitcoin weren’t mentioned once.

在周日發布的一期備受期待的播客節目中，總統候選人唐納德·特朗普花了三個小時與主持人喬·羅根交談，但加密貨幣或比特幣一次都沒有被提及。

This contentious topic has been raised more frequently by both Trump and Kamala Harris as election day looms. Recently, Harris’ attempts to win the votes of Black males backfired among the crypto community.

隨著選舉日的臨近，川普和卡馬拉·哈里斯都更頻繁地提出這個有爭議的話題。最近，哈里斯試圖贏得黑人男性選票，但在加密社群中卻適得其反。

Some were quick to point out that her administration has failed to produce concrete crypto regulations, instead alienating top firms with seemingly baseless litigation.

有些人很快指出，她的政府未能製定具體的加密貨幣法規，反而透過看似毫無根據的訴訟疏遠了頂級公司。

Meanwhile, Trump has made explicit attempts to rally the Bitcoin community. He has been involved in several NFT collections and, most recently, crypto project World Liberty Financial. Rogan has also spoken positively about bitcoin and NFTs in the past.

同時，川普明確地試圖團結比特幣社群。他參與了多個 NFT 收藏，最近還參與了加密貨幣項目 World Liberty Financial。 Rogan 過去也曾積極評價比特幣和 NFT。

So, punters on crypto betting platform Polymarket believed that there was up to a 50% chance that Trump and Rogan would mention crypto or bitcoin during the podcast.

因此，加密貨幣博彩平台 Polymarket 上的投注者認為，川普和羅根在播客中提到加密貨幣或比特幣的可能性高達 50%。

Why didn’t it happen?

為什麼沒有發生？

Trump’s recent crypto project flopped hard

川普最近的加密貨幣計畫慘遭失敗

World Liberty Financial may be the first time a former US president has endorsed a project that promises to disrupt the “stranglehold” of traditional financial institutions. Despite Trump’s promotions, however, the project flopped on launch.

世界自由金融可能是美國前總統首次支持一個承諾打破傳統金融機構「束縛」的計畫。然而，儘管川普進行了晉升，該計畫在啟動時還是失敗了。

Not even 5% of its token offering has sold as of Friday, and the 20 billion tokens on sale were a massive reduction from what the project originally promised. Additional issues, ranging from scams to tech issues to concerning centralization, have plagued the project, revealing it to be an opaque money-grab by Trump.

截至週五，其代幣發行量還不到 5%，而發售的 200 億枚代幣比該項目最初承諾的數量大幅減少。從詐騙到技術問題再到集中化等其他問題一直困擾著該項目，表明它是川普不透明的斂財行為。

So, perhaps it’s understandable that Trump and Rogan chose to sidestep the issue altogether. After all, Rogan has also appeared to distance himself from crypto in recent months. In an episode published three weeks ago, he called crypto “weird f*cking imaginary money.”

因此，川普和羅根選擇完全迴避這個問題也許是可以理解的。畢竟，近幾個月來，羅根似乎也與加密貨幣保持了距離。在三週前發布的一集中，他稱加密貨幣為「奇怪的假想貨幣」。

Polymarket punters were right about other topics, though. Trump’s mini McDonald’s gig was mentioned, along with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., trans issues, and aliens.

不過，Polymarket 投資者在其他議題上的看法是正確的。川普的迷你麥當勞演出被提及，還有小羅伯特·F·肯尼迪、跨性別問題和外星人。
