狗狗币：埃隆·马斯克变成市场推动者的模因币

尽管与该货币的创始人没有任何关系，但马斯克最终还是赞助了它……并将其带到了白宫。

Elon Musk has a knack for moving markets with his statements, whether intentionally or unintentionally. His latest foray into the realm of finance saw him propel Dogecoin to new heights — and then quickly watch as it plummeted. But how much does Musk really own? And what role does he play in the memecoin's astronomical rise?

埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）有能力通过他的言论来影响市场，无论是有意还是无意。他最近涉足金融领域，将狗狗币推向了新的高度，但随后很快就见证了它的暴跌。但马斯克到底拥有多少资产呢？他在模因币的天价崛起中扮演什么角色？

When Musk took to the stage of Saturday Night Live in May 2021, donning a samurai outfit and brandishing a katana, few could have predicted the impact his words would have on the cryptocurrency market. Yet, as he uttered the fateful phrase, "It's a hustle," while discussing Dogecoin, the asset's value took a nosedive, losing more than a third of its worth in a matter of hours.

当马斯克于 2021 年 5 月登上《周六夜现场》的舞台时，身穿武士服装，挥舞着武士刀，很少有人能预料到他的话会对加密货币市场产生影响。然而，当他在讨论狗狗币时说出了那句致命的短语“这是一场喧嚣”时，该资产的价值急剧下降，在几个小时内损失了超过三分之一的价值。

But Musk's influence on Dogecoin extends far beyond that single quip. In fact, his statements about the memecoin have played a pivotal role in shaping its trajectory. As the world's richest person, Musk's words carry immense weight, especially in the world of finance. And Dogecoin, being the queen of memecoins, has basked in the glow of Musk's attention — for better or for worse.

但马斯克对狗狗币的影响远远超出了这一句俏皮话。事实上，他关于模因币的言论在塑造其发展轨迹方面发挥了关键作用。作为世界首富，马斯克的话具有巨大的影响力，尤其是在金融界。而狗狗币，作为模因币女王，已经沐浴在马斯克的关注之下——无论是好是坏。

If you glance at Dogecoin's price history on CoinMarketCap, you'll notice that the date of Musk's SNL appearance is highlighted as one of the most significant moments for the asset. After days of anticipation (Musk had previously declared Dogecoin to be his favorite cryptocurrency), the cyptocurrency lost more than a third of its value.

如果您浏览一下 CoinMarketCap 上狗狗币的价格历史记录，您会注意到马斯克在 SNL 露面的日期被强调为该资产最重要的时刻之一。经过几天的预期（马斯克此前曾宣布狗狗币是他最喜欢的加密货币），这种加密货币的价值缩水了三分之一以上。

A few months later, Musk once again sent shockwaves through the market with a Twitter poll: "Do you want Tesla to accept Doge?" This cryptic message hinted at the possibility of customers being able to purchase their cars using the memecoin, an idea that still remains up in the air. But in December of the same year, he announced that his company would indeed begin accepting payment for certain products in this digital currency. Within minutes, the asset surged by 33%.

几个月后，马斯克在推特上发布的一项民意调查再次震惊市场：“你希望特斯拉接受Doge吗？”这个神秘的信息暗示了客户可以使用模因币购买汽车的可能性，但这个想法仍然悬而未决。但同年 12 月，他宣布他的公司确实将开始接受以这种数字货币支付某些产品。几分钟之内，该资产飙升 33%。

In short, when Musk speaks, Dogecoin responds.

简而言之，当马斯克说话时，狗狗币就会做出回应。

But beyond merely talking about it, Musk also owns some of this currency. His holdings, in fact, have been the subject of speculation on several occasions. Even today, it's still unknown how much he has. Last January, in a conversation on X Spaces, he said that he owns "a lot of DOGE," without detailing the amount.

但除了谈论它之外，马斯克还拥有一些这种货币。事实上，他的持股曾多次成为猜测的对象。即使到了今天，我们仍然不知道他有多少钱。去年一月，在 X Spaces 的一次对话中，他表示自己拥有“很多 DOGE”，但没有详细说明具体数量。

This asset was created back in 2013 by two friends — Adobe engineer Jackson Palmer and software developer Billy Markus. It emerged as a satirical alternative to the bitcoin fever, poking fun at an industry that had attracted an excessive amount of money. To symbolize the joke (and the asset), they used the image of a Japanese dog breed — the Shiba Inu — which had become the quintessential internet meme three years earlier.

该资产由两位朋友于 2013 年创建：Adobe 工程师 Jackson Palmer 和软件开发人员 Billy Markus。它作为比特币热潮的讽刺替代品出现，嘲笑了一个吸引了过多资金的行业。为了象征这个笑话（和资产），他们使用了一种日本犬种——柴犬——的形象，这种狗三年前就成为了典型的互联网迷因。

Despite having no relationship with the founders of the currency, Musk has ended up sponsoring it… and taking it to the White House. The founder of Tesla, alongside businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, will direct the newly-created Department of Government Efficiency. The acronym of this department — DOGE — is also how the currency is known in the crypto markets. Musk’s appointment to the incoming Republican administration has boosted the value of this token, which has risen by 130% since the U.S. presidential election, reaching almost $0.39 per unit.

尽管与该货币的创始人没有任何关系，但马斯克最终还是赞助了它……并将其带到了白宫。特斯拉创始人与商人维韦克·拉马斯瓦米 (Vivek Ramaswamy) 将共同领导新成立的政府效率部。该部门的首字母缩写词——DOGE——也是该货币在加密货币市场中的名称。马斯克对即将上任的共和党政府的任命推高了该代币的价值，自美国总统大选以来该代币已上涨 130%，达到每单位近 0.39 美元。

After starting out as a joke, Dogecoin has become the seventh most important cryptocurrency, with a market value of about $56 billion. Jorge Soriano, CEO of the Criptán trading platform, believes that this asset owes a lot to the founder of Tesla. "If Elon Musk hadn't talked so much about Dogecoin, I don't think the currency would be where it is today," he shrugs. The personalization of DOGE around Musk is evident.

狗狗币最初只是一个笑话，如今已成为第七大最重要的加密货币，市值约为 560 亿美元。 Criptán交易平台首席执行官豪尔赫·索里亚诺(Jorge Soriano)认为，这笔资产很大程度上归功于特斯拉的创始人。 “如果埃隆·马斯克没有过多谈论狗狗币，我认为这种货币不会是今天的样子，”他耸耸肩。 DOGE围绕马斯克的个性化是显而易见的。

However, experts warn of the risks it may entail for investors, especially in the long-term. "If the value of Dogecoin is excessively linked to the figure of Elon Musk, any change in his [level of] interest or reputation can disproportionately impact the asset. The greatest risk is volatility and lack of confidence in the long-term," Soriano cautions.

然而，专家警告投资者可能面临的风险，尤其是长期风险。 “如果狗狗币的价值与埃隆·马斯克的形象过度挂钩，那么他的兴趣或声誉的任何变化都会对资产产生不成比例的影响。最大的风险是波动性和缺乏长期信心，”索里亚诺注意事项。

Abel Peña, sales director of Bit2Me, agrees with this interpretation. "The personalization of DOGE around Musk is risky, because it centralizes the perception of a currency that should be decentralized. This makes it more dependent on [Musk’s] public image and increases [the cryptocurrency’s] volatility, complicating its adoption as a reliable asset," he notes.

Bit2Me 销售总监 Abel Peña 同意这种解释。 “围绕马斯克的 DOGE 个性化是有风险的，因为它集中了人们对应该去中心化的货币的看法。这使得它更加依赖（马斯克的）公众形象，并增加了（加密货币）的波动性，使其作为可靠资产的采用变得复杂化， “他指出。

It's true that the nature of Dogecoin is still a joke, to the point that it's become the memecoin par excellence. That is, it's a currency that uses the force of speculation and the coordinated behavior of the online community to challenge the traditional financial system.

确实，狗狗币的本质仍然是一个笑话，以至于它已经成为卓越的模因币。也就是说，它是一种利用投机力量和网络社区的协调行为来挑战传统金融体系的货币。
