特朗普家族推出一系列模因币后，彼得·希夫称比特币为“模因币”

在特朗普家族推出一系列表情包硬币后，著名经济学家和比特币 (BTC) 怀疑论者彼得·希夫 (Peter Schiff) 很快就在社交媒体上发表了言论。

Economist Peter Schiff has claimed that Bitcoin is no better than meme coins after the Trump family launched their own crypto tokens.

在特朗普家族推出自己的加密代币后，经济学家彼得·希夫声称比特币并不比模因币好。

The inciting incident was an appearance by Anthony Pompliano on CNBC, in which the finance manager was asked by the host to explain what a meme coin is “for someone who's five.”

煽动事件是安东尼·庞普里亚诺 (Anthony Pompliano) 在 CNBC 节目中露面，主持人要求财务经理解释“对于五岁的人来说”模因币是什么。

The host then suggested that the tokens launched by the Trump family could be explained in a similar way. However, Pompliano pushed back on this suggestion, arguing that the host was trying to get him to say that Bitcoin is a meme coin.

主持人随后提出，特朗普家族推出的代币也可以用类似的方式来解释。然而，Pompliano 反驳了这一建议，认为主持人试图让他说比特币是一种模因币。

“It's funny watching @APompliano on CNBC trying to explain what a meme coin is,” Schiff wrote in an X post. “The reason it's hard for him to do that is there's no real difference between $TRUMP and #Bitcoin. So it's a fine line to walk when explaining a meme coin without exposing the same fraud about Bitcoin.”

“在 CNBC 上观看 @APompliano 试图解释模因币是什么，这很有趣，”希夫在 X 帖子中写道。 “他之所以很难做到这一点，是因为 $TRUMP 和#Bitcoin 之间没有真正的区别。因此，在解释模因币时，如果不揭露比特币的同样欺诈行为，那就是一条很好的路线。”

Schiff's comments appear to be based on the fact that Bitcoin has also been trading on sentiment to a large extent, with the world’s premier cryptocurrency rising or falling sharply depending on whether the internet is feeling fearful, optimistic, or hyped up by the latest “bullish” meme.

希夫的评论似乎是基于这样一个事实，即比特币在很大程度上也是根据情绪进行交易的，世界上主要的加密货币的大幅上涨或下跌取决于互联网是否感到恐惧、乐观或被最新的“看涨”炒作。 ”模因。

Part of the reason for this is that the entire industry has devolved into another meme frequently seen on social media: calling the market a “casino.” However to be fair, this moniker has been used for the stock market and other financial markets long before cryptocurrencies came along.

造成这种情况的部分原因是整个行业已经演变为社交媒体上常见的另一个模因：将市场称为“赌场”。然而，公平地说，这个绰号早在加密货币出现之前就已经用于股票市场和其他金融市场。

At the same time, the fact that a concept or a technology is abused doesn't mean it's without a foundation, and perhaps the bigger issue with cryptocurrencies is that they have become definitively risky assets without doing much to address the “currency” part of their name.

与此同时，一个概念或一项技术被滥用的事实并不意味着它没有基础，也许加密货币的更大问题是它们已经成为绝对的风险资产，而没有采取太多措施来解决其中的“货币”部分。他们的名字。

Indeed, using them as payment vehicles remains, nearly two decades later, complicated due to various factors, such as a lack of accessibility or unreasonably high transaction costs.

事实上，近二十年后，由于各种因素（例如缺乏可访问性或交易成本过高），使用它们作为支付工具仍然很复杂。
