唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump Meme）硬币发射触发了数字冒名顶替者的涌入

尽管以前将加密货币视为“骗局”，但唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）从一月份的第二次​​就职典礼之前就推出了自己品牌的模因硬币，从而有可能积累了数十亿美元。

Former US President Donald Trump, who once dismissed cryptocurrency as “a scam,” may have made billions from launching his self-branded meme coin just before his second inauguration in January, the Financial Times reported on Monday (February 8).

《金融时报》（2月8日）报道，美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）曾经将加密货币视为“骗局”，他可能已经在一月份的第二次​​就职典礼之前推出了自己的自品牌模因硬币。

Trump’s move has inspired an army of digital imposters seeking to cash in on his name, the newspaper said.

报纸说，特朗普的举动激发了一支试图以他的名义兑现的数字冒名顶替者。

Over 700 new meme coins have been sent to Trump’s official digital wallet in recent weeks, many named after him or his family members but with no official affiliation, the Financial Times reported, citing blockchain data.

据《金融时报》报道，最近几周已将700多枚新的模因硬币发送给特朗普的官方数字钱包，许多人以他或他的家人的名字命名，但没有正式隶属关系。

Speculators might be deceived by these names into thinking they are buying the real $Trump cryptocurrency, which has seen its value plummet, according to experts.

专家说，这些名字可能会欺骗投机者，以为他们正在购买真正的$特朗普加密货币，该货币的价值暴跌了。

“By introducing his own coin, Trump has opened the floodgates to deception … and at the very least, rampant speculation,” said Eswar Prasad, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and an economics professor at Cornell University.

布鲁金斯学会（Brookings Institution）的高级研究员，康奈尔大学（Cornell University）的经济学教授埃斯瓦尔·普拉萨德（Eswar Prasad）说：“通过介绍自己的硬币，特朗普为欺骗开放了闸门，至少是猖ramp的猜测。”

“Ordinary investors piling into these copycat coins are being exposed to outsize risk.”

“普通投资者堆积在这些模仿硬币中的风险正面临。”

Many of the over 200 fake coins are named after Trump’s family members, including Official Trump and Official Melania.

超过200个假硬币中有许多以特朗普的家人命名，包括官方特朗普和官方梅拉尼亚。

The First Lady launched her own meme coin, $Melania, soon after her husband’s, which analysts said halved the value of $Trump and set it on a downward trajectory that has not recovered.

第一夫人在丈夫的丈夫之后不久发起了自己的模因硬币$ Melania，分析师表示，特朗普的价值减半，并将其设置在尚未恢复的下降轨迹上。

Four of Trump’s five children also have meme coins named after them, with his youngest son Barron leading the pack with 30 imitations, followed by Ivanka with 26, and older sons Don and Eric Jr with 14 combined, according to the newspaper.

据报纸称，特朗普的五个孩子中有四个也有以他们命名的模因硬币，他最小的儿子巴伦（Barron）以30次模仿领导了比赛，其次是伊万卡（Ivanka），有26个，大儿子唐（Don）和埃里克（Eric Jr）和埃里克（Eric Jr）合计。

Other cryptocurrencies in the Trump wallet are named after people like “Elon” and “Musk,” referring to the world’s richest man.

特朗普钱包中的其他加密货币是以“埃隆”和“麝香”之类的人命名的，它指的是世界上最富有的人。

Some of the fraudulent coins even use the same name and symbol as Trump’s official currency, while others, like Official Hitler and Poo Coin, are obviously meant to deceive, the Financial Times reported.

据《金融时报》报道，一些欺诈性硬币甚至使用与特朗普的官方货币相同的名称和符号，而其他官方希特勒和便便硬币等其他货币显然是要欺骗的。

The first imitation coin was minted 29 minutes after the official launch announcement on Trump’s Truth Social platform, as scammers moved swiftly to cash in, according to the newspaper.

据报纸报道，由于诈骗者迅速兑现了货币，第一个模仿硬币是在正式发布的特朗普真相社交平台上的正式发布后的29分钟造成的。

Trump’s involvement in the crypto space has drawn criticism from ethics watchdogs and economists, the Financial Times said.

《金融时报》说，特朗普参与加密货币空间引起了伦理监管机构和经济学家的批评。

Prasad pointed to the troubling combination of Trump’s “grifting tendencies” and his administration’s embrace of cryptocurrencies, along with a dismissive stance towards government regulation, during his presidency.

普拉萨德（Prasad）指出，特朗普（Trump）的“烦恼倾向”和他的政府对加密货币的拥抱以及在总统任期期间对政府监管的不屑一顾的立场令人不安。
