The adoption of Moo Deng by Buterin influenced the price of the MOODENG token to a large extent. The news sent the token’s price rocketing by 70% within the first hour of the news; the token was trading at $0.0001206 before the news and by the time of writing this piece, it was at $0.0002446.

Buterin 對 Moo Deng 的採用在很大程度上影響了 MOODENG 代幣的價格。該消息導致代幣價格在消息發布的第一個小時內飆升 70%；在消息發布之前，該代幣的交易價格為 0.0001206 美元，在撰寫本文時，其交易價格為 0.0002446 美元。

The token is trading at $0.0001843 at the time of writing, up 44.27% from the previous day. The price rise was also coupled with a 428.44% increase in trading volume which is a clear indication of new investors coming into the system and an equally enthusiastic action from the crypto world.

截至撰寫本文時，該代幣的交易價格為 0.0001843 美元，較前一日上漲 44.27%。價格上漲也伴隨著交易量增加 428.44%，這清楚地表明新投資者進入該系統，以及加密世界同樣熱情的行動。

MOODENG Token’s Surge

MOODENG 代幣的激增

This sudden price increase also shows that MOODENG and other meme coins are highly sensitive to market emotions. Being a meme token, MOODENG has been primarily perceived as a speculative asset, but this rise shows the token’s potential as an investment asset. As even more traders come into the space, MOODENG is beginning to gain some recognition for its relation to a meme and philanthropy.

這種突然的價格上漲也顯示MOODENG和其他meme幣對市場情緒高度敏感。作為一種迷因代幣，MOODENG 主要被視為投機資產，但這種上漲表明了該代幣作為投資資產的潛力。隨著越來越多的交易者進入該領域，MOODENG 因其與迷因和慈善事業的關係而開始獲得一些認可。

Buterin also supported the Khao Kheow Open Zoo and adopted Moo Deng while also promising to donate 10 million Thai Baht (THB) to the zoo. The money is to be used to enhance on-going conservation activities within the zoo. It will be split into two installments: 5 million THB to be paid at the present time and the other 5 million THB within the next year.

Buterin 也支持 Khao Kheow 開放動物園並收養了 Moo Deng，同時也承諾向動物園捐贈 1,000 萬泰銖 (THB)。這筆資金將用於加強動物園內正在進行的保育活動。它將分為兩期：目前支付 500 萬泰銖，明年支付另外 500 萬泰銖。

Buterin’s Charitable Influence

Buterin 的慈善影響力

In a statement, Buterin said he was happy to become Moo Deng’s parent and highlighted the importance of conservation efforts.

Buterin 在聲明中表示，他很高興成為 Moo Deng 的父母，並強調了保護工作的重要性。

This act also follows the history of Buterin, the creator of Ethereum, who has spent much of his time and influence in the crypto community for charitable causes. He has been involved in donating Ethereum and other digital assets to different organisations and MOODENG is not an exception.

這項行為也遵循了以太坊創辦人 Buterin 的歷史，他將大部分時間和影響力都花在了加密社群的慈善事業上。他曾參與向不同組織捐贈以太坊和其他數位資產，MOODENG也不例外。

The recent surge in MOODENG which has been backed by Buterin shows that meme coins are not a passing fad in the cryptocurrency industry. From being a market of digital assets with limited practical use, the industry has started to evolve, and projects like MOODENG are showing how the blockchain can be used to promote social causes.

最近受到 Buterin 支持的 MOODENG 的飆升表明，meme 幣在加密貨幣行業並不是曇花一現。該行業從一個實際用途有限的數位資產市場開始發展，像 MOODENG 這樣的項目正在展示區塊鏈如何用於促進社會事業。
