阿根廷总统哈维尔·米利（Javier Milei）面临腐败调查，以推广他的模因硬币

阿根廷的萌芽丑闻被当地被称为“隐秘”，并与各种各样的角色有联系。

Argentine President Javier Milei is facing a corruption probe into his promotion of a meme coin, a highly speculative form of cryptocurrency that’s surged in popularity after President Donald Trump and his wife launched tokens of their own.

阿根廷总统哈维尔·麦利（Javier Milei）正面临腐败的调查，以促进他对模因硬币的促进，这是一种高度投机的加密货币形式，在唐纳德·特朗普总统和他的妻子发起了自己的代币之后，这一形式受到了普及。

The budding scandal in Argentina has been dubbed locally as “cryptogate” and has links to a diverse cast of characters, including a high-profile U.S. influencer, a crypto developer who uses the pseudonym “Meow,” and a 28-year-old American entrepreneur who said he helped launch first lady Melania Trump’s meme coin last month.

阿根廷的萌芽丑闻在当地被称为“隐秘材料”，并与各种各样的角色链接，包括一位备受瞩目的美国影响者，一个使用化名“ Meow”的加密开发人员和28岁的美国人企业家说，他在上个月帮助推出了第一夫人梅拉尼亚·特朗普的模因硬币。

Here’s an explainer on what happened and where things stand:

这是关于发生的事情和一切所在的解释者：

First off, what exactly is a meme coin?

首先，模因硬币到底是什么？

Meme coins are a type of cryptocurrency that are generally just goofs on internet memes, viral moments or celebrities that aren’t trying to make use of a new technology or solve any new problems. They often have silly names, like Dogecoin, or Fartcoin.

模因硬币是一种加密货币，通常只是在互联网模因，病毒时刻或名人中不尝试使用新技术或解决任何新问题。他们经常有愚蠢的名字，例如Dogecoin或Fartcoin。

Critics – including many cryptocurrency enthusiasts — say they are nothing more than digital Ponzi schemes that exist to enrich insiders at the expense of retail investors. Those more supportive say meme coins shouldn’t be so easily dismissed and could be early indicators of ways in which the internet could revolutionize financial and other transactions.

批评家（包括许多加密货币爱好者）说，它们不过是数字庞氏骗局，这些计划以牺牲零售投资者为代价来丰富内部人士。那些更支持性的说明模因硬币不应那么容易被解雇，并且可能是互联网可以彻底改变财务和其他交易的方式的早期指标。

“New technologies often look like a toy but evolve into something much more powerful over time,” Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said in a recent social media post.

Coinbase首席执行官Brian Armstrong在最近的社交媒体帖子中说：“新技术通常看起来像一个玩具，但演变成更强大的东西。”

So, what happened with the meme coin associated with Milei?

那么，与Milei相关的模因硬币发生了什么？

In short, a disaster.

简而言之，一场灾难。

Milei, the tech-loving, chainsaw-wielding, libertarian president of Argentina, posted on X about the meme coin $LIBRA on Friday, just after it had launched, stating he was “encouraging economic growth by funding small businesses and startups.”

爱国者的自由主义者主席麦利（Milei）是爱好者，挥舞科技的挥舞，挥舞着电锯，在X上发布了X上关于Meme Coin $ libra的发布，恰恰是在它推出之后，他说他“通过资助小型企业和初创公司来鼓励经济增长”。

The coin’s price soared almost immediately, pushing the market value for the project beyond $4 billion.

硬币的价格几乎立即飙升，将项目的市场价值推向了40亿美元。

A few hours after launch, early holders of the coin started cashing out of the project and its price collapsed.

发射几个小时后，硬币的早期持有人开始兑现该项目，其价格崩溃了。

The trajectory of $LIBRA’s price had the hallmarks of a “rug pull,” a not uncommon phenomenon with meme coins. Rug pulls occur when insiders dump their holdings in newly launched meme coins that are soaring in value, which tanks the price and causes losses to newer investors.

$ libra的价格的轨迹具有“地毯拉力”的标志，这是一种与模因硬币的现象。当内部人员将其持股量倒在新发射的模因硬币中时，就会发生地毯拉力，这些硬币的价值飙升，坦克价格并损失了新的投资者。

Milei deleted his initial post after the price collapsed and distanced himself from the project. By Monday, dozens of criminal complaints had been filed, a judge in Argentina had been selected to investigate allegations of fraud and Argentina’s main opposition party called for his impeachment.

麦莉（Milei）的价格崩溃并与该项目保持距离之后，麦莉（Milei）删除了他的最初帖子。到周一，已经提出了数十起刑事诉讼，阿根廷的一名法官被选为调查有关欺诈的指控，阿根廷的主要反对党呼吁弹each。
