特朗普的特朗普硬幣拖船隨著鯨魚的2.14億美元而賺錢，使大多數買家在水下使

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）的品牌可能是基於對“獲勝”的看法，但是他壯觀的特朗普硬幣的買家正遇到恰恰相反。

Donald Trump may not be following the spectacular rise and fall of his memecoin closely, but its buyers certainly are — and experiencing the exact opposite of “winning.”

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）可能不會密切關注他的紀念物的壯麗崛起和跌倒，但其買家當然是 - 與“獲勝”完全相反。

Soon after Trump launched TRUMP days before his second inauguration, its value nosedived from its all-time high of $78 as hyped-up crypto bros rushed to cash out. It currently sits at a pathetic $17 per token — a shell of a grift that once saw nearly $72 billion worth of market cap at its peak.

特朗普在特朗普第二次就職前幾天發起了幾天后不久，由於炒作加密兄弟（Crypto Bros）急於兌現，其價值從歷史上的78美元高出了78美元。目前，它的每一個令牌可憐的$ 17，這是一個堅定不移的殼，曾經在其頂峰時曾經達到價值近720億美元的市值。

Now, fresh analysis by Bloomberg suggests TRUMP’s dramatic fall is the result of 21 whales pulling out gobs of cash, leaving the vast majority of the coin’s faithful buyers at a loss.

現在，彭博社的新分析表明，特朗普的戲劇性下降是21顆鯨魚撤出現金的結果，這使硬幣的絕大多數忠實的買家喪失了。

Of all the profit generated by TRUMP, some $214 million went to these whales within the first two days, while at least 20 percent of buyers broke even or lost money. The whales had one thing in common: they all made substantial, well-timed transactions of the coin, in some cases within just minutes of its announcement.

在特朗普產生的所有利潤中，約有2.14億美元在頭兩天內送給了這些鯨魚，而至少20％的買家破產或損失了。鯨魚有一個共同點：它們都在宣布的短短幾分鐘內完成了硬幣的大量，定時的交易。

One particular trader amassed about $1.1 million in USDC — a “stablecoin” mapped to the value of the US dollar — just hours before Trump announced his coin to his throngs of followers on Truth Social. Within minutes of that post, the trader made a buy representing roughly 6 percent of the available supply of TRUMP, and then spent the next few days offloading it to various wallets, racking up millions in profit according to Bloomberg.

一位特定的交易員在USDC中積累了約110萬美元，這是一個映射到美元價值的“ Stablecoin”），就在特朗普宣布他的硬幣宣布自己的《真相社交》的追隨者的數小時。在該職位的幾分鐘之內，交易者進行了買入，約佔特朗普供應供應的6％，然後在接下來的幾天裡將其卸載到各種錢包中，根據彭博社的說法，賺了數百萬美元的利潤。

The trading platforms administering Trump's coins also struck it rich, with current estimates putting the total transaction fees they've earned at around $100 million. At least one of the platforms involved in the frenzy, CIC Digital, is owned by Trump himself, though it's currently unknown how big a piece of the pie it received.

管理特朗普硬幣的交易平台也使它變得富有，目前的估計使他們所賺取的總交易費用約為1億美元。至少有一個涉及Frenzy，CIC Digital的平台歸特朗普本人擁有，儘管目前尚不清楚它收到的一塊派。

The vast majority of buyers also lost out in an even clearer way. Look at this price chart for the token, courtesy of CoinGecko — virtually everybody who bought the coin after its earliest days has now seen the value of their holdings decrease, which is the opposite of what you want an investment to do.

絕大多數買家也以更清晰的方式輸了。查看該代幣的這個價格表，由Coingecko提供 - 幾乎每個在其最早時購買硬幣購買硬幣的人現在已經看到了其持股的價值下降，這與您想要的投資相反。

When asked by reporters for comment on the apparent pump-and-dump scheme, Trump played dumb: "I don't know much about it other than I launched it... I heard it was very successful."

當記者要求對明顯的泵送計劃發表評論時，特朗普扮演了愚蠢的表現：“除了發起它，我對此一無所知……我聽說它非常成功。”

The whole debacle is raising even more red flags about the volatility of memecoins, particularly as TRUMP copycats spill onto crypto platforms like fruit flies.

整個崩潰都在增加有關Memecoins波動的危險中，尤其是當特朗普模仿者溢出到水果蒼蠅等加密平台上時。

Some scams are riding the coattails of Trump's obvious-yet-ambiguous recent crypto endorsements, like one pretending to be founded by his youngest son Barron Trump.

一些騙局正在騎著特朗普最近的加密認可的特朗普顯而易見的代言，例如假裝由他最小的兒子巴倫·特朗普（Barron Trump）建立。

Others are aping Trump's supposed legitimacy as the "Crypto President." In the wake of TRUMP's debut, for instance, hundreds of smaller crypto ventures sent samples of their memecoins to Donald Trump's digital wallet, evidently seeking to fake a presidential endorsement to dupe gullible traders.

其他人則是特朗普被認為是“加密總統”的合法性。例如，在特朗普的首次亮相之後，數百個較小的加密貨幣企業將其成員的樣本發送給了唐納德·特朗普的數字錢包，顯然是在尋求偽造總統的認可來dupe易受損交易者。

This trick is possible thanks to a unique "feature" of crypto, where records of transactions are permanently imprinted into the blockchain for public viewing. That publicity is often touted as one of crypto's strengths, but is increasingly used to manufacture the type of misinformation and hype and which enables crypto fraud.

由於加密貨幣的獨特“功能”，這種技巧是可能的，在該功能中，交易記錄被永久印在區塊鏈以供公眾觀看。該宣傳通常被吹捧為加密貨幣的優勢之一，但越來越多地用於製造錯誤信息和炒作的類型，並啟用加密欺詐。

"[Trump has] opened the floodgates to deception... and at a minimum to rampant speculation," Eswar Prasad, an economist at the Brookings Institute told the Financial Times.

布魯金斯學院的經濟學家埃斯瓦爾·普拉薩德（Eswar Prasad）告訴《金融時報》：“ [特朗普]為欺騙開放了欺騙……至少要猖ramp的猜測。”

While rampant grifts are nothing new to the memecoin space, their growing legitimacy at the hands of our elected leaders is. At a time when state lawmakers push to put public funds on the blockchain, one thing's for sure: the scams are just getting started.

雖然猖rift的grift腳對於成員空間並不是什麼新鮮事物，但他們在當選的領導人手中的合法性日益增長。在州立法者推動將公共資金投入區塊鏈上的時候，肯定是一件事：騙局才剛剛開始。
