華盛頓公民的責任和道德公民發言人說：“這是您所能獲得的不道德。”

加密貨幣唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在返回橢圓形辦公室之前幾天發起，在周三下午又得到了很大的推動，因為Meme Coin背後的特朗普擁有的公司宣布，其頂級持有人將被邀請與總統一起參加獨家晚宴，而25名領先的買家將獲得白宮的特殊VIP之旅。

The cryptocurrency Donald Trump launched days before returning to the Oval Office got a big boost on Wednesday afternoon, as the Trump-owned company behind the meme coin announced that its top holders would be invited to an exclusive dinner with the president—and the 25 leading buyers will get a special VIP tour of the White House.

加密貨幣唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在返回橢圓形辦公室之前幾天發起，在周三下午又得到了很大的推動，因為Meme Coin背後的特朗普擁有的公司宣布，其頂級持有人將被邀請與總統一起參加獨家晚宴，而25名領先的買家將獲得白宮的特殊VIP之旅。

Launched one business day after Trump’s inauguration in January, the cryptocurrency—which has no inherent value or particular use—immediately saw its value shoot from just $6.29 to $74, before crashing to around $10 by early March. The price has since slumped as low as $7.57 and was last hovering around $9 on Monday. But a little before noon Eastern Time on Tuesday, the price steadily began rising, hitting a peak of $14.28 a few moments after the coin’s official X account announced a special event for top investors of $TRUMP.

特朗普在一月份就職典禮後發起了一個工作日，加密貨幣（沒有固有的價值或特定用途）立即看到其價值從6.29美元到74美元，然後在3月初跌至10美元左右。此後，價格低至7.57美元，最後一次盤旋在周一9美元左右。但是在周二中午東部時間之前，價格穩步上漲，在硬幣的官方X帳戶宣佈為$ $特朗普的頂級投資者舉行特別活動之後，價格達到14.28美元。

"This is about as unethical as you can get—essentially selling off access to the president."

“這是您所能獲得的不道德 - 基本上出售與總統的機會。”

According to the coin’s official website, its top 220 holders will be invited to a special May 22 dinner at Trump’s country club outside Washington, DC.

根據硬幣的官方網站，其前220名持有人將被邀請參加5月22日在華盛頓特區特朗普的鄉村俱樂部舉行的特別晚餐。

An even more special perk is in store for the 25 biggest holders, who “will be invited for an ultra-exclusive private VIP Reception with the President. And separately by us to a Special White House Tour.” Although littered with grammatical errors, the coin’s website emphasizes at every opportunity that it’s promoting an event with the sitting president of the United States.

為25個最大的持有人提供了一個更特別的特權，他們“將被邀請與總統進行超級專有的私人貴賓接待。儘管硬幣的網站散佈著語法錯誤，但在每一個機會中都強調，它正在與美國現任總統一起促進活動。

“This is one of the most exclusive events in the world,” the website notes in its FAQ. “This is a high-security, high-status event with President Trump. If you earned a seat at the table, it’s because you earned it.”

該網站在常見問題解答中指出：“這是世界上最獨特的事件之一。” “這是與特朗普總統的高度安全，高地位的活動。如果您在桌子上贏得了席位，那是因為您贏得了席位。”

“You are having Dinner with the President of the USA!” the website enthuses under a section about event security, warning that anyone attending will have to pass a background check and can’t hail from a country that doesn’t participate in Know Your Customer banking regulations.

“您正在與美國總統共進晚餐！”該網站在一節有關活動安全性的部分中興奮，警告說，參加的任何人都必須通過背景調查，而不能來自不參與您的客戶銀行法規的國家 /地區。

Meme coins have no intrinsic value or particular usefulness as currency, but serve more as a cultural signifier. They usually are based on an internet joke, such as the meme's fascination with the "doge" dog (Dogecoin), or make use of a celebrity's image. While real money can be made from the speculative highs and lows of meme coin trading, it's also one of the sectors of the crypto world most prone to bubbles and subsequent collapses.

模因硬幣沒有作為貨幣的內在價值或特殊用途，但更多地用作文化象徵。它們通常是基於互聯網笑話，例如模因對“ Doge”狗（Dogecoin）的迷戀，或使用名人的形象。雖然可以從模因硬幣交易的投機高點和低點賺取真實資金，但它也是加密貨幣世界的領域之一，最容易容易出現氣泡和隨後的崩潰。

After Trump announced the coin, many crypto enthusiasts—who have largely been supportive of the president—cringed at his association with one of the blockchain's more frivolous incarnations. But Trump coin holders did appear to heed the call to enter to win a seat at the event—or on the tour—with a number of users registering multi-million dollar caches of $TRUMP in the hours following.

在特朗普宣布硬幣後，許多加密愛好者（在很大程度上支持總統）與他與區塊鏈更輕率的化身之一的關聯。但是，特朗普硬幣持有人確實聽到了打電話的電話，以在此次活動或巡迴演出中贏得席位，並在隨後的幾個小時內註冊了數百萬美元的$ trump的用戶。

Jordan Libowitz, a spokesperson for the nonpartisan group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, characterized the move as a naked quid pro quo. “The closest situation I can think of was Bill Clinton hosting major donors in the Lincoln Bedroom,” Libowitz said, “but that pales in comparison to this. This is about as unethical as you can get—essentially selling off access to the president and the White House.”

華盛頓非黨派公民負責責任和道德的發言人喬丹·利博蒂茨（Jordan Libowitz）將這一舉動描述為裸體怪癖。 Libowitz說：“我能想到的最接近的情況是比爾·克林頓（Bill Clinton）在林肯臥室裡接待了主要捐助者，但與此相比，這顯得蒼白。這與您所能獲得的不道德，這實際上是在與總統和白宮的接觸範圍內出售。”

What it probably wasn’t, he said, was illegal: “There are, unfortunately, no laws that apply to the president that could be violated here, unless one of the top 25 holders was something like a foreign state’s wealth fund.” In that case, Libowitz said, the Constitution’s emoluments clause could come into play—and, separately, “any staffer involved in selling access to the White House may have some issues.”

他說，這可能不是非法的：“不幸的是，沒有對總統適用的法律，除非前25名持有人中的一位像外國的財富基金。” Libowitz說，在這種情況下，《憲法》的艾式條款可能會發揮作用，並且單獨，“參與銷售進入白宮的任何工作人員可能會有一些問題。”

The coin’s official website notes in its fine print that the tours were set up by FightFightFight LLC—a company whose ownership is unclear, but which controls 80 percent of the coin’s theoretical supply in partnership with CIC Digital, a company owned by the Trump Organization.

硬幣的官方網站在其精美的印刷品上指出，旅行是由FightFightfight Fight Fight Flc建立的，該公司的所有權尚不清楚，但它與特朗普組織擁有的公司CIC Digital合作控制了硬幣的80％的理論供應。

The White House did not return a request for comment on the tours and what they might include—or how they might differ from standard White House tours, which are typically arranged through members of Congress.

白宮沒有返回對旅行的置評請求及其可能包括的內容，或者它們與標準的白宮旅行社有何不同，這通常是通過國會議員安排的。
