特朗普总统揭露了自己的模因硬币

在特朗普总统就职典礼前几天，他当晚在华盛顿特区举办了一个“加密舞会”，他推出了自己的模因硬币，这是一种数字资产，在促进骗局方面赢得了声誉。

A few days before President Trump’s inauguration, he hosted a “crypto ball” in Washington, D.C. That night, he unveiled his very own meme coin—a kind of digital asset that has gained a reputation for facilitating scams. Soon after, first lady Melania Trump also launched her own meme coin.

在特朗普总统就职典礼前几天，他当晚在华盛顿特区举办了一个“加密舞会”，他推出了自己的模因硬币，这是一种数字资产，在促进骗局方面赢得了声誉。不久之后，第一夫人梅拉尼亚·特朗普（Melania Trump）也发行了自己的模因硬币。

After its launch, Trump’s coin’s market capitalization reached billions of dollars.

在推出后，特朗普的硬币的市值达到了数十亿美元。

This isn’t the first time meme coins have gotten a lot of attention—you might remember Elon Musk joked about another one called Dogecoin on SNL in 2021—but it is the first time that this technology has been used by a sitting president. So what exactly is a meme coin anyway? How does the blockchain play into all this? And how might a president use it differently than an internet celebrity?

这不是Meme硬币第一次引起人们的关注 - 您可能还记得埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）在2021年在SNL上开玩笑说Dogecoin开玩笑 - 但这是这项技术首次被现任总裁使用。那么，无论如何，模因硬币到底是什么？区块链如何发挥所有作用？总统与互联网名人的使用方式如何不同？

To find out more, Flora Lichtman talks with Liz Lopatto, a senior writer at The Verge who covers cryptocurrency and business, about how this market started, how Trump could use meme coins, and where the crypto market could go next.
