They call him “El Presidente.” But unlike the other President, Dave Portnoy draws a line at launching a memecoin. He worries his followers will lose their shirts.

“I got involved in memecoins because I wanted to launch a Barstool memecoin, but I didn’t want my fans and followers to lose money,” he said in an interview with CoinDesk. Memecoins are “legalized Ponzi schemes,” he said, “there’s no value to it, so you gotta get in and get out before it crashes.” [Note: memecoins aren’t legalized in the U.S. but they are popular.]

他在接受Coindesk的采访时说：“我参与了Memecoins，因为我想推出一个Barstool Memecoin，但我不希望我的粉丝和追随者亏钱。”他说，Memecoins是“合法化的庞氏骗局计划”，“这没有任何价值，因此您必须进来并在崩溃之前出去。” [注意：Memecoins在美国没有合法化，但它们很受欢迎。]

While Portnoy hasn’t launched a Barstool branded memecoin, he has launched other memecoins. In February he launched GREED, a token that reached a market cap of $41.5 million. According to Lookonchain, Portnoy bought 357.92M $GREED, totalling 35.79% of the total supply, then sold all in a single transaction causing the price to crash. He made around $258,000.

尽管Portnoy尚未推出Barstool品牌的Memecoin，但他却推出了其他Memecoins。 2月，他推出了贪婪，这是一个达到4,150万美元市值的代币。根据Lookonchain的说法，Portnoy购买了35792万美元的贪婪，总计35.79％，然后以一次交易出售，导致价格崩溃。他赚了258,000美元。

The Barstool Sports founder took to X in the aftermath to say, “I warned people I could sell. I could have cashed out +1 million. I let it drop 75% before cashing out. Lots of people made money. I took profits + poured it into #jailstool which I can’t touch. I didn’t make a dime on it. Some people won. Some lost. Only the losers keep bitching.”

Barstool Sports的创始人在后果中带着X进行了说：“我警告了我可以出售的人。我本可以兑现+100万。我让它下降了75％，然后才兑现。很多人赚钱。我把利润赚钱了。我把它倒入＃jailstool中，我无法触摸我，我没有触摸。我没有丢掉。有些人失去了。

Portnoy started trading stocks during the COVID-19 pandemic, and even launched the YouTube channel Davey Day Trader, where fans could follow his trades. His trades weren’t always successful, and there wasn’t always a clear strategy, but they were entertaining. At one point, he pulled letters out of a Scrabble bag, put RTX (Raytheon Technologies Corporation) together, and put $200,000 into the stock.

波特诺伊（Portnoy）在COVID-19大流行期间开始交易股票，甚至推出了YouTube频道Davey Day Trader，粉丝可以在此关注他的交易。他的交易并不总是成功的，而且并不总是有明确的策略，但是他们很有趣。有一次，他从一个拼字袋中拉出来信，将RTX（雷神技术公司）放在一起，并将20万美元放入股票中。

It was around this time that Portnoy was introduced to bitcoin. “I don’t think you can be involved in anything, stock market [or] finance without crypto being a major part of it,” he says now. He has a love/hate relationship with bitcoin because he says he’s “been on the wrong side of it every time it rips.” Over the years he’s also experimented with investing in cryptocurrencies like XRP.

大约在这个时候，Portnoy被介绍给比特币。他说：“我认为您不能参与任何事情，股票市场（或）金融，而无需加密货币。”他与比特币有爱/仇恨关系，因为他说他“每次撕裂时都处于错误的一面”。多年来，他还试图投资XRP等加密货币。

Although Portnoy got into memecoins because he wanted to launch one for the Barstool community, he admits that he still doesn’t understand how to integrate blockchain technology or cryptocurrencies into his business model. Barstool once accepted bitcoin as part of its Barstool Fund to help small businesses, but out of $50 million raised, he said only $30,000 came from bitcoin. “They talked big, big talk, but it didn’t work out,” he said, reflecting on the bitcoin community who persuaded him to accept the cryptocurrency. “Crypto is the league leader in people telling you what [you] should be doing, and it’s also the league leader in people I don’t trust.”

尽管Portnoy是因为他想为Barstool社区推出一个，但他承认他仍然不了解如何将区块链技术或加密货币整合到他的商业模式中。 Barstool曾经接受比特币作为其Barstool基金的一部分来帮助小型企业，但在筹集的5000万美元中，他说只有30,000美元来自比特币。他说：“他们说话了大，但没有解决。”他反思了说服他接受加密货币的比特币社区。 “加密是人们告诉您[您]应该做什么的联盟领导者，这也是我不信任的人的联盟领导者。”

Portnoy has experimented with memecoins, bitcoin, and even launched an NFT attached to his popular One Bite Pizza Reviewsyoutube channel that sold for $138,000. And, although he doesn’t always understand them, he says “as much as I have back and forth with the crypto community, I actually love them. I think they’re hilarious [...] an interesting group, which I guess I'm a part of.”

Portnoy已经尝试了Memecoins，Bitcoin，甚至推出了他受欢迎的一口披萨评论SeviewSyoutube频道的NFT，售价为138,000美元。而且，尽管他并不总是理解它们，但他说：“就像我在加密货币社区中来回回去一样，我实际上很喜欢他们。我认为他们很有趣[...]一个有趣的团体，我想我是其中的一部分。”
