Amidst the Unfolding Chaos of Dubai's Devastating Flood, the True Nature of Crypto's Elite Emerges

在迪拜毁灭性洪水的混乱中，加密货币精英的真实本质浮现出来

In the heart of Dubai International Airport on a fateful Tuesday evening, pandemonium erupted as the arrival of crypto industry magnates for the colossal Token 2049 conference coincided with the city's most catastrophic flood in nearly eight decades. The tarmac, transformed into a vast lake, stranded countless travelers, including myself, in a surreal and perilous situation.

在一个决定性的周二晚上，在迪拜国际机场的中心，加密货币行业巨头齐聚参加大型 Token 2049 会议，恰逢该市遭遇近 8 年来最严重的洪水，一片混乱。停机坪变成了一个巨大的湖泊，将包括我在内的无数旅行者困在一个超现实和危险的境地。

As the torrent of rain relentlessly cascaded over the city, major highways and roads succumbed to the relentless downpour, creating a network of impassable rivers. Cars floated aimlessly, abandoned by their overwhelmed occupants, while buildings crumbled under the weight of the relentless water.

当倾盆大雨无情地倾泻在城市上空时，主要高速公路和道路被无情的倾盆大雨淹没，形成了无法通行的河流网络。汽车漫无目的地漂浮，被不堪重负的乘客遗弃，而建筑物则在无情的洪水的重压下倒塌。

Amidst this unfolding apocalypse, one question lingered in my mind: How would the crypto elite navigate such an unprecedented crisis? This question would soon be answered as I embarked on a surreal and perilous journey alongside fellow stranded crypto enthusiasts, including a loquacious crypto "bro," an unflinching "Angry Irish Pilot," a stoic Emirates flight attendant, and Kyle, Decrypt's skilled photographer.

在这场不断展开的灾难中，一个问题一直萦绕在我的脑海中：加密货币精英将如何应对如此前所未有的危机？当我和其他陷入困境的加密货币爱好者一起踏上一段超现实且危险的旅程时，这个问题很快就会得到解答，其中包括一位健谈的加密货币“兄弟”、一位坚定的“愤怒的爱尔兰飞行员”、一位坚忍的阿联酋航空空姐，以及 Decrypt 的熟练摄影师凯尔。

Our makeshift family, united by circumstance, braved the treacherous streets of Dubai, navigating submerged cars, negotiating waterlogged overpasses, and navigating alleyways to avoid the impassible main roads. Despite our unwavering determination, we faced constant setbacks as hotels refused to accommodate us, forcing us to seek refuge elsewhere.

我们的临时家庭因环境而团结在一起，勇敢地穿越迪拜危险的街道，驾驶被淹没的汽车，穿过被水淹没的立交桥，穿过小巷以避免无法通行的主干道。尽管我们的决心坚定不移，但我们却不断遇到挫折，因为酒店拒绝接待我们，迫使我们到其他地方寻求庇护。

In a stroke of fortune, Rug Radio's operations lead, Eve, secured a sanctuary for us in a nearby neighborhood. Our arrival at the hotel, however, was met with a lukewarm reception from Abdullah, the receptionist, who remained unperturbed by our harrowing ordeal.

幸运的是，Rug Radio 的运营负责人 Eve 在附近的社区为我们找到了一个避难所。然而，我们到达酒店后，接待员阿卜杜拉却冷淡地接待了我们，他对我们的痛苦经历仍然泰然处之。

As I collapsed onto the bed, exhausted and smelling faintly of sewage, I checked in with the crypto bro via Telegram. To my surprise, he had returned to the airport, where he had serendipitously encountered fellow members of his DAO. Through their connections, they secured a ride to their destinations in a formidable Range Rover, leaving me pondering the irony of their effortless escape.

当我倒在床上时，精疲力尽，闻着淡淡的污水味，我通过 Telegram 与加密兄弟联系了。令我惊讶的是，他回到了机场，在那里他偶然遇到了 DAO 的其他成员。通过他们的关系，他们乘坐一辆强大的路虎揽胜前往目的地，让我思考他们毫不费力地逃脱的讽刺。

Upon waking the following morning, I discovered that many Token 2049 attendees had managed to evade the worst of the storm's impact by shelling out significant sums to drivers willing to risk the treacherous conditions.

第二天早上醒来后，我发现许多 Token 2049 参与者通过向愿意冒着危险的危险的司机支付大笔费用，成功地避开了风暴最严重的影响。

My experiment in witnessing the resilience of crypto's elite in an apocalyptic scenario had been inadvertently foiled. In Dubai, a city obsessed with status and exclusivity, even amidst a disaster that threatened to level the playing field, the upper echelons of the industry managed to insulate themselves from the hardships faced by the masses.

我见证加密货币精英在世界末日场景中恢复能力的实验无意中失败了。在迪拜这个痴迷于地位和排他性的城市，即使在一场威胁到公平竞争环境的灾难中，该行业的高层也设法使自己免受大众所面临的困难的影响。

Next time, I mused, we will need zombies to truly test their mettle.

我想，下次我们将需要僵尸来真正测试他们的勇气。
