加密行业的十字路口：从“模因狂欢”到价值重建

Single mother Violet's voice is still trembling. The 400,000 yuan education fund prepared for her daughter is now less than 30,000 yuan after the collapse of trust - this AI scam using Nvidia's technology halo as bait is subverting the foundation of trust in the crypto world.

单身母亲紫罗兰的声音仍在发抖。为她的女儿准备的40万元教育基金现在不到30,000元人民币 - 这种使用NVIDIA的技术Halo作为诱饵的AI骗局颠覆了加密货币世界中的信任基础。

The perfect kill for the technical butcher

技术屠夫的完美杀戮

On January 24, 2025, a tweet ignited the crypto community. Nvidia core engineer Travis Cline (@traviscline) released a token called TMC Corp (TMC).

2025年1月24日，一条推文点燃了加密货币社区。 Nvidia Core工程师Travis Cline（@TravisCline）发布了一个名为TMC Corp（TMC）的令牌。

His resume is perfect: LinkedIn shows that he is not only a core member of Nvidia's AI team, but also a founding engineer of the acquired Brev.dev; his GitHub account has 5,500 stars, and his open source project langchaingo is regarded as a benchmark by developers. Thousands of investors quickly poured in, and TMC's market value quickly reached more than 20 million US dollars. However, Travis quickly deleted the tweet shortly afterwards, causing TMC's price to plummet in a short period of time.

他的履历是完美的：LinkedIn表明他不仅是NVIDIA AI团队的核心成员，而且还是《收购Brev.dev》的创始工程师；他的GitHub帐户有5500颗星，他的开源项目Langchaingo被开发人员视为基准。成千上万的投资者迅速涌入，TMC的市场价值迅速达到了超过2000万美元。但是，Travis不久之后迅速删除了这条推文，导致TMC的价格在短时间内下降。

But not long after, Travis announced on Twitter: "TMC - a revolutionary experiment of crowdfunding open source AI tools." Everyone realized that this was not a meme coin, but an open source AI tool project issued by NVIDIA core team members to raise funds from the public. At the same time, crypto KOL @OKRenaissance verified with Travis himself through private channels and confirmed that the token was issued by him. When everyone knew that TMC was issued by Travis himself, TMC was snapped up in the market again, and its market value surged to more than 30 million US dollars.

但是不久之后，特拉维斯在Twitter上宣布：“ TMC-众筹开源AI工具的革命性实验。”每个人都意识到这不是模因硬币，而是NVIDIA Core Team成员发布的开源AI工具项目，以向公众筹集资金。同时，Crypto Kol @okrenaissance通过私人渠道与Travis亲自验证，并确认令牌是由他发行的。当每个人都知道TMC是由Travis本人发行的时，TMC再次在市场上抢购，其市场价值飙升至超过3000万美元。

Just when everyone thought they had invested in a promising AI project, the situation changed unexpectedly. Several addresses that purchased very early began to sell off their shares crazily, and many addresses that purchased very early began to sell off their shares in large quantities. According to incomplete statistics, the profits exceeded 3 million US dollars. "This is not a mistake, but a carefully designed harvest." The on-chain detective @MelarDev found that these operations were likely premeditated. At the same time, many victims also bought TMC counterfeit coins. Because the hacker sent the TMC counterfeit coins to Travis' wallet, Travis immediately sold all the TMC counterfeit coins and only used a small amount of SOL to buy back the real TMC coins. He recharged the remaining SOL defrauded from all the victims to the centralized exchange and put it into his own pocket.

就在每个人都认为自己投资了一个有前途的AI项目时，情况就意外地发生了变化。很早购买的几个地址开始疯狂地出售其股票，而早期购买的许多地址开始大量出售其股票。根据不完整的统计数据，利润超过300万美元。 “这不是一个错误，而是精心设计的收成。”链接侦探@Melardev发现这些操作可能是预谋的。同时，许多受害者还购买了TMC伪造硬币。由于黑客将TMC伪造的硬币发送到Travis的钱包，因此Travis立即出售了所有TMC伪造硬币，并且仅使用少量Sol来回购真正的TMC硬币。他为所有受害者欺骗了剩下的SOL到集中的交流，并将其放在自己的口袋里。

After that, dozens of investors tried various channels but received no response from Travis. When investors flocked to Discord to question him, Travis rudely removed these people from the channel and deleted all their messages, leaving a sentence "I regret dealing with crypto people" and disappeared.

此后，数十名投资者尝试了各种渠道，但没有得到特拉维斯的回应。当投资者涌向不和谐质疑他时，特拉维斯粗鲁地将这些人从频道中删除，删除了所有信息，留下了“我后悔与加密货币人士打交道”并消失了。

At this point, the price of TMC has fallen by more than 94%, almost to zero.

在这一点上，TMC的价格下跌了94％以上，几乎降至零。

"Nvidia's brand is more effective than any white paper"

“ Nvidia的品牌比任何白皮书更有效”

After losing contact, Travis even recently tweeted in a mocking tone that he had left the project, leaving investors in a mess to pay for his harvest.

失去联系后，特拉维斯（Travis）甚至最近发了一条嘲笑的语调，他离开了该项目，使投资者陷入混乱，以支付他的收成。

Klose is a recent college graduate who has been working for less than a year. He invested the money he earned from working in TMC because he believed that this was a crowdfunding project released by NVIDIA's real-name core developers and that there would be actual products behind it. He bought $11,000 worth of TMC tokens in succession, and as of today, he has lost more than 90%. He told us that he doesn't even know how to pay the rent for the next quarter.

克洛斯（Klose）是最近的大学毕业生，已经工作不到一年。他投资了他在TMC工作中赚取的钱，因为他认为这是NVIDIA的NVIDIA REAL-NAM NAM核心开发人员发布的众筹项目，背后会有实际产品。他连续购买了价值11,000美元的TMC代币，截至今天，他损失了90％以上。他告诉我们，他甚至都不知道如何支付下一季度的租金。

Violet is a salesperson in the traditional industry and the mother of a 3-year-old daughter. She saw Travis' LinkedIn profile and that he worked for NVIDIA, so she thought he would continue to support and develop his crowdfunding project, so she learned about and bought TMC on the Solana chain for the first time. In 6 days, she lost more than $50,000 in TMC tokens, which was her entire salary plus sales commission for a year and a half. Now she can only sleep normally with the help of drugs.

紫罗兰是传统行业的销售员，也是一个3岁女儿的母亲。她看到了特拉维斯（Travis）的LinkedIn个人资料，并为Nvidia工作，因此她认为他将继续支持和开发他的众筹项目，因此她首次了解到并在Solana Chain上了解了TMC并购买了TMC。在6天内，她在TMC代币中损失了超过50,000美元，这是她的整个工资加一年半的销售委员会。现在，她只能在毒品的帮助下正常睡觉。

Roger is one of the largest individual investors in the TMC project, and also the biggest loser. To quote Roger, he has made many investments in both the primary and secondary markets, and he doesn’t care if the project fails after trying hard, because this is the risk that innovation should take. But innovation and fraud are two different things. Tens of thousands of people choose to support you with real money, but you delete their messages, kick them out of the community, refuse to communicate, and make profits by selling tokens. This is a naked fraud.

罗杰（Roger）是TMC项目中最大的个人投资者之一，也是最大的失败者。引用罗杰（Roger）的话，他已经在主要和二级市场进行了许多投资，他不在乎该项目在努力后是否失败，因为这是创新应承担的风险。但是创新和欺诈是两件事。成千上万的人选择用真实的钱为您提供支持，但是您删除了他们的信息，将他们赶出社区，拒绝交流并通过出售代币赚钱。这是一个赤裸裸的欺诈。

Roger said that if his and other TMC holders' reasonable demands are still not responded to, he and other TMC holders in the Bay Area will go to Nvidia's Santa Clara headquarters for a protest march, and he is ready to join many $TMC defra

罗杰说，如果他和其他TMC持有人的合理要求仍未得到回应，他和湾区的其他TMC持有人将前往NVIDIA的圣克拉拉总部进行抗议游行，他准备加入许多$ TMC Defra
