埃里克·特朗普要去月球

这位前总统的第二个儿子将自己重新塑造为加密货币兄弟，上周在一条推文中调侃说，他和哥哥小唐(Don Jr.)在区块链上发布了“一项重大声明”。

Eric Trump has joined the crypto craze, teasing a "big announcement" with his brother, Don Jr., and revealing his newfound love for the digital currency world.

埃里克·特朗普 (Eric Trump) 加入了加密货币热潮，与他的兄弟小唐 (Don Jr.) 戏弄了一项“重大声明”，并透露了他对数字货币世界的新热爱。

The second son of the former president shared the news on Twitter last week, writing, "Don and I have a big announcement coming down the blockchain. I have truly fallen in love with Crypto / DeFi."

这位前总统的二儿子上周在 Twitter 上分享了这一消息，并写道：“Don 和我在区块链上宣布了一项重大消息。我真的爱上了加密货币 / DeFi。”

He tagged his father, Don Jr., and the Trump Organization in the post, adding, "We're about to shake up the crypto world with something HUGE."

他在帖子中标记了他的父亲小唐和特朗普集团，并补充道，“我们即将用一些巨大的东西来撼动加密货币世界。”

Don Jr. replied the next day, "Stay tuned crypto fans. Something big is coming down the blockchain."

第二天，小唐回复道：“请继续关注加密货币粉丝。区块链上即将有大事发生。”

While the兄弟have yet to reveal their highly anticipated project, Eric spoke to the New York Post on Wednesday to continue building excitement for the announcement.

虽然兄弟俩尚未透露他们备受期待的项目，但埃里克周三接受《纽约邮报》采访，继续为这一宣布营造兴奋之情。

"It's digital real estate," Eric told the Post. "It's equitable. It's collateral anyone can get access to and do so instantly. I don't know if people realize what a shake-up that is for the world of banking and finance. I hope we can help change that."

“这是数字房地产，”埃里克告诉《华盛顿邮报》。 “这是公平的。它是任何人都可以立即获得并使用的抵押品。我不知道人们是否意识到这对银行和金融界来说是一个多么大的变革。我希望我们能够帮助改变这一点。”

After highlighting the golden rule of trusting anyone who promises you instant access to wealth, Eric shifted gears and railed against the "financial discrimination" his family has faced, a curious way of avoiding the subject of the Trumps' various monetary woes.

在强调了信任任何承诺让你立即获得财富的人的黄金法则后，埃里克改变了态度，谴责他的家人所面临的“财务歧视”，这是一种奇怪的方式来回避特朗普家族的各种财务困境。

He concluded on a lighter note, expressing his desire to help build "a world where we don't have to play by the big bank's playbook."

他以轻松的语气结束了演讲，表达了他希望帮助建立“一个我们不必遵循大银行剧本的世界”的愿望。

Given that cryptocurrency and its cornerstone, Bitcoin, have enjoyed general mainstream awareness since at least 2017, it seems strange that Eric, 40, would choose now to start shilling for the coin.

鉴于加密货币及其基石比特币至少自 2017 年以来就已获得普遍主流认知，40 岁的埃里克现在选择开始购买比特币似乎很奇怪。

But in a strange coincidence of timing that likely has no greater significance, Eric's original tweet dropped the same day that the Donald J. Trump meme token saw its liquidity pulled, an exit scam known in the crypto world as a "rug pull."

但在一个奇怪的时间巧合中，埃里克的原始推文在唐纳德·J·特朗普模因代币的流动性被拉动的同一天被删除，这种退出骗局在加密世界中被称为“地毯拉动”。

This tactic sees a coin's creators hype it up, then abruptly vanish with investor funds, rendering it worthless.

这种策略是，代币的创造者对其进行炒作，然后突然随着投资者的资金消失，使其变得一文不值。

Because of the way the blockchain functions, it's impossible to know for sure who created the DJT coin earlier this year. Credit has been claimed by Martin ‘Pharma Bro’ Shkreli, who said in June that he had worked with Donald Trump’s 18-year-old son, Barron, to create the token.

由于区块链的运作方式，我们无法确定今年早些时候谁创造了 DJT 币。 Martin“Pharma Bro”Shkreli 声称这是他的功劳，他在 6 月份表示，他与唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 18 岁的儿子巴伦 (Barron) 合作创建了该代币。

“I have over 1000 pieces of evidence I created it with Barron,” he told crypto sleuth ZachXBT.

“我有超过 1000 条证据是我和 Barron 一起创造的，”他告诉加密货币侦探 ZachXBT。

When the coin lost 95 percent of its market value on Tuesday, Shkreli pointed to Barron, tweeting in response to a user asking him to comment on its plunge to "ask barron, I don't have the keys or any tokens."

周二，当该代币市值下跌 95% 时，什克雷利指向巴伦，并在推特上回应一位用户要求他对代币暴跌发表评论的言论，“问巴伦，我没有钥匙或任何代币。”

Shkreli did not immediately return a request for comment on Wednesday night. Nor did the Trump campaign, which has never formally acknowledged the DJT token or Shkreli's claims about Barron's involvement.

周三晚上，施克莱利没有立即回复置评请求。特朗普竞选团队也没有正式承认 DJT 代币或 Shkreli 关于巴伦参与的说法。

Crypto's DJT is not to be confused with Nasdaq's DJT, the ticker under which shares of the Trump Media & Technology Group trade.

不要将 Crypto 的 DJT 与纳斯达克的 DJT 混淆，纳斯达克的 DJT 是特朗普媒体科技集团股票交易的股票代码。

Trump Media has suffered more setbacks than steps forward since publicly debuting in March, with the Truth Social owner admitting at the end of last week that it made $836,900 in revenue last quarter, a 30 percent drop from the year prior. Its quarterly losses amounted to $16.4 million, it said.

自 3 月份公开亮相以来，特朗普媒体遭遇的挫折多于前进的步伐，Truth Social 所有者上周末承认，上季度收入为 836,900 美元，比上年同期下降 30%。该公司表示，其季度亏损达 1640 万美元。

After that Friday announcement, the stock hit an even lower low on Monday, plunging just over 5 percent as Trump returned to X for the first time in more than a year in advance of a live streamed interview with owner Elon Musk on the platform that night. Shares cratered out at $24.60, their lowest in months.

周五宣布这一消息后，周一该股跌至更低的低点，暴跌略多于 5%，原因是特朗普一年多来首次重返 X，并于当晚在该平台上对老板埃隆·马斯克进行直播采访。 。股价暴跌至 24.60 美元，创数月来最低水平。

Trump, Former Crypto Skeptic, Is Going All Out to Win the Bitcoin Bro Vote

前加密货币怀疑论者特朗普正在全力以赴赢得比特币兄弟选票

As for the stock and coin's namesake, there was a time when the former president turned up his nose at cryptocurrency, unloading on it as “a scam” and “a disaster waiting to happen” in interviews as recently as 2021.

至于股票和代币的同名者，这位前总统曾一度对加密货币嗤之以鼻，在 2021 年的采访中将其斥为“一场骗局”和“一场即将发生的灾难”。

“I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air,” he tweeted in 2019. “Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior, including drug trade and other illegal activity.”

他在 2019 年发推文称：“我不喜欢比特币和其他加密货币，它们不是货币，其价值波动很大，而且是凭空而来。不受监管的加密资产可能会助长非法行为，包括毒品交易和其他非法行为。”活动。”

Trump's observations remain correct; the asset class is fundamentally unregulated and untethered to trust in the government or a central bank, leaving investors vulnerable to risk, ruin, and con artists of all shapes and sizes.

特朗普的观察仍然正确；该资产类别基本上不受监管，也不受政府或中央银行的信任，使投资者容易受到风险、破产和各种形式和规模的骗子的影响。

Since President Joe Biden took office, the Securities and Exchange Commission has filed dozens of actions against crypto firms and personalities. Biden himself has advocated for “appropriate guardrails” to be installed around the medium to better protect consumers and investors.

自乔·拜登总统上任以来，美国证券交易委员会已针对加密货币公司和人士提起了数十起诉讼。拜登本人就主张在媒体周围设置“适当的护栏”，以更好地保护消费者和投资者。
