"Cryptocurrencies help rich, professional investors and criminals become richer. Anyone who does not fall into one of these two categories can easily lose their money gambling on crypto.

“加密货币可以帮助富人，专业投资者和罪犯变得更富有。任何不属于这两个类别之一的人都可以轻易地在加密货币上赌博。

A good case study is the $Trump cryptocurrency coin. According to the New York Times, the Trump family and its business partners have made about $100 million (and counting) in fees from the meme crypto coin. One wealthy investor, who bought about $1 million less than two minutes after it was released, made $109 million after selling the coins within two days. This investor may have had insider information about when the $Trump coin was being released. Many other savvy investors, who knew when to dump the coins, were also able to make millions. On the other hand, over 800,000 other investors collectively lost over $2 billion chasing this latest crypto get-rich-quick scheme.

一个很好的案例研究是$ trump加密货币硬币。据《纽约时报》报道，特朗普家族及其商业伙伴从Meme Crypto Coin收取了约1亿美元的费用（并计算）。一位富有的投资者在释放后不到两分钟就购买了约100万美元，在两天内出售硬币后赚了1.09亿美元。该投资者可能有有关$特朗普硬币何时发布的内部信息。许多其他精明的投资者，他们知道什么时候倾倒硬币，也能够赚取数百万美元。另一方面，超过800,000名其他投资者损失了超过20亿美元，追逐了这一最新的加密货币富裕计划。

The story was mostly the same for the $Melania (Trump) meme crypto coin. At the time of this writing, the $Trump coin was down 82 percent from its peak. The $Melania coin was down 94 percent. The way to make the most money on the $Melania coin was to purchase it immediately as it was released and then sell it a day later. Apparently, even some wealthy professional investors weren’t fast enough in purchasing and dumping the coin. One investor lost $14 million betting on $Melania, and another lost about $4 million.

对于$ Melania（Trump）Meme Crypto硬币来说，这个故事大多是相同的。在撰写本文时，特朗普硬币的峰值下降了82％。 $ Melania硬币下跌了94％。赚钱在$ Melania硬币上赚钱的方法是立即在发布时立即购买，然后一天后出售它。显然，即使是一些富有的专业投资者，在购买和倾倒硬币方面也不够快。一位投资者损失了1400万美元的赌注，另一个投资者损失了约400万美元。

Buying a cryptocurrency and then dumping it a day later, of course, is not investing — it’s gambling — and the winners get to take the losers’ money. But it is not a fair game. Wealthy investors who can hype cryptocurrencies and who can spend the resources needed to know the right time to dump them, can make a big profit off less savvy investors. The crypto game is tilted toward funneling money up toward the richer players.

当然，购买加密货币，然后在一天后倾倒它，这不是在投资 - 这是在赌博 - 获奖者可以拿走失败者的钱。但这不是一个公平的游戏。富有的投资者可以炒作加密货币，可以花费所需的资源来了解合适的时间来抛弃它们，可以从少量精明的投资者那里获得巨大的利润。加密游戏倾向于向富人玩家筹集资金。

Criminals ❤️ Crypto

罪犯❤️加密货币

The Federal Trade Commission reports that cryptocurrency fraud is now one of the leading types of financial crimes. Criminal activity associated with cryptocurrencies is growing rapidly. Chainalysis, a blockchain analytics firm, tallies the value of a wide range of criminal activity involving cryptocurrencies. They include ransomware extortion where payment is required in crypto, people trading illegal drugs and other illegal goods for crypto, the theft of crypto, crypto scams, and other crimes. Chainalysis estimates that in 2020 criminals received $11 billion in cryptocurrencies from illegal activities. Their estimate for 2024 is $51 billion. So far, 2025 looks like it could exceed 2024. In February, $1.5 billion worth in cryptocurrencies was stolen from the Bybit cryptocurrency exchange. This is the largest theft of cryptocurrency on record.

联邦贸易委员会报告说，加密货币欺诈现在是金融犯罪的主要类型之一。与加密货币相关的犯罪活动正在迅速增长。区块链分析公司Chainalysis，为涉及加密货币的广泛犯罪活动的价值估计。其中包括勒索软件勒索，在加密货币中需要付款，人们交易非法毒品和其他非法商品以供加密货币，加密货币，加密骗局和其他犯罪。链分析估计，2020年罪犯在非法活动中获得了110亿美元的加密货币。他们对2024年的估计是510亿美元。到目前为止，2025年看起来可能超过2024年。2月，从Bybit Cryptocurrency Exchange偷走了15亿美元的加密货币。这是有记录以来最大的加密货币盗窃案。

Chainalysis also notes that the types of criminals using crypto and the types of criminal activity they are engaged in continues to expand. In addition to ransomware and stealing individuals’ crypto, Chainalysis reports that “[a]n array of illicit actors, including transnational organized crime groups, are increasingly leveraging cryptocurrency for traditional crime types, such as drug trafficking, gambling, intellectual property theft, money laundering, human and wildlife trafficking, and violent crime.” It is also more common to find hate groups, including white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups, using cryptocurrencies to fund their activities.

链分析还指出，使用加密货币的犯罪分子类型及其从事的犯罪活动类型继续扩大。除了勒索软件和窃取个人的加密货币外，Chainalysis报道说：“包括跨国有组织犯罪团体在内的非法行为者，越来越多地利用了传统犯罪类型的加密货币，例如毒品贩运，赌博，赌博，知识产权盗窃，洗钱，人力和人类和野生动物和野生犯罪。”寻找仇恨群体，包括白人至上主义者和新纳粹组织，使用加密货币为其活动提供资金，这也更为普遍。

Although cryptocurrencies have a growing presence in the financial exploitation and victimization of the public, the Trump administration is weakening consumer protections. Elon Musk has gravely weakened the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which used to process thousands of cryptocurrency complaints a year. Musk is also weakening the Federal Trade Commission which also responds to crypto complaints.

尽管加密货币在公众的财务剥削和受害方面的存在越来越大，但特朗普政府正在削弱消费者的保护。埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）严重削弱了消费者金融保护局，该局每年经常处理数千起加密货币投诉。马斯克还削弱了联邦贸易委员会，这也对加密货币投诉做出了回应。

There are clear conflicts of interest between the Trump administration and the regulation of the crypto industry. Elon Musk was one of the wealthy investors who hyped the DOGE cryptocurrency inflating its value. Musk has owned DOGE and other cryptocurrencies. His Department of Government Efficiency also known as DOGE is clearly a nod to this crypto.

特朗普政府与加密工业的监管之间存在明显的利益冲突。埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）是富有的投资者之一，他炒作了马密货币膨胀其价值。马斯克拥有道路和其他加密货币。他的政府效率部也称为Doge，显然是对这个加密货币的致敬。

Donald Trump received tens of millions of dollars for his 2024 presidential campaign from the crypto industry, and he and his family profits financially from the industry. Given these facts, it is perhaps not surprising that the Trump administration would not only restrict the policing of the crypto industry, but enact policies like creating a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” that would bolster the industry and his and his family’s profits."

唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）因加密货币行业的2024年总统大选而获得了数千万美元，他和他的家人从该行业的经济利润中获利。鉴于这些事实，特朗普政府不仅会限制加密货币行业的警务，而且制定政策，例如创建“战略性比特币储备”会增强该行业以及他和他的家人的利润，也许并不奇怪。
