It is important to note that meme coins are often used to build the popularity of an internet trend. However, they lack any sort of intrinsic value and are touted as extremely volatile investments.

值得注意的是，模因币经常被用来建立互联网趋势的流行度。然而，它们缺乏任何内在价值，并被吹捧为极其不稳定的投资。

CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC are two companies from Delaware that own 80 per cent of the tokens. It remains unclear exactly how much money the president-elect will make in the business venture.

CIC Digital LLC 和 Fight Fight Fight LLC 是特拉华州的两家公司，拥有 80% 的代币。目前还不清楚当选总统将在这项商业投资中赚多少钱。

Some 200m of the digital tokens have been issued and another 800m will be released in the next three years, the coin's website said.

该代币网站称，已发行约 2 亿枚数字代币，未来三年还将发行 8 亿枚。

"This Trump Meme celebrates a leader who doesn't back down, no matter the odds," the website said.

该网站称：“这个特朗普表情包颂扬的是一位无论可能性如何都不会退缩的领导人。”

The website also comes with a disclaimer that the coin is “not intended to be, or the subject of” an investment opportunity or security. The website also mentioned that the coins are “not political and have nothing to do with” any political campaign, political office or government agency.

该网站还附带一份免责声明，称该代币“无意成为”投资机会或证券，也不是投资机会或证券的主题。该网站还提到，这些硬币“不具有政治性，与任何政治运动、政治办公室或政府机构无关”。

Critics accuse Trump of cashing in on the presidency

批评者指责特朗普利用总统职位赚钱

Meanwhile, critics slammed Trump for introducing meme coins just days before he assumed office. “Trump owning 80 per cent and timing launch hours before the inauguration is predatory and many will likely get hurt by it,” Nick Tomaino, a crypto venture capitalist, said in a social media post.

与此同时，批评者猛烈抨击特朗普在就职前几天推出模因币。加密货币风险投资家 Nick Tomaino 在社交媒体帖子中表示：“特朗普拥有 80% 的股份，并且在就职典礼前几个小时推出产品，这是一种掠夺性行为，许多人可能会因此受到伤害。”

Trump was previously skittish about cryptocurrency, but at a Bitcoin conference in Nashville last year he said America would be "the crypto capital of the planet" once he returned to Washington. His sons Erik and Donald Jr announced their crypto venture last year.

特朗普此前对加密货币感到不安，但去年在纳什维尔举行的比特币会议上，他表示一旦返回华盛顿，美国将成为“地球的加密之都”。他的儿子埃里克和小唐纳德去年宣布了他们的加密货币事业。
