特朗普硬币大多在价值上下降了

经过短暂的泡沫，作为投机者购买了这些泡沫之后，两枚特朗普硬币的价值都大致下降了。在线杂志社区中

Both Trump coins have largely seen their value plummet after a brief spike as speculators raced to buy them. Within the online Maga community – which has a certain degree of overlap with crypto enthusiasts – some feel betrayed by the president’s embrace of what some conservatives view as little better than a penny-stock pump-and-dump scam.

在短暂的尖峰之后，两种特朗普的硬币都在很大程度上看到了它们的价值，因为投机者竞争购买它们。在在线杂志社区（与加密爱好者都有一定程度的重叠）中，有些人对总统对某些保守派认为比一分钱的泵和降低骗局更好的拥抱感到背叛了。

Trump, who in 2021 said bitcoin “seems like a scam”, has since flipped on the issue. He was widely expected to be a “pro-crypto” president, with the crypto sector hoping he would be a broadminded sheriff who would grant their financial frontier new legitimacy; instead he embarrassed them by initiating a gold-rush on meme coins, considered the riskiest and least reputable form of mainstream cryptocurrency.

特朗普在2021年说，比特币“似乎是个骗局”，此后就在这个问题上翻转了。人们普遍认为他将成为“亲克莱托普”总统，加密货币部门希望他将成为一个宽阔的警长，他将授予其财务前沿的新合法性。取而代之的是，他通过在模因硬币上发起金色朗什式的方式使他们感到尴尬，这被认为是主流加密货币的最风险，最受信誉的形式。

Unlike traditional crypto-currencies that are “mined” and used in a blockchain, meme coins cannot be used as electronic currency and are generally regarded as having no enduring value. They are “minted” to exploit a viral moment.

与“开采”并在区块链中使用的传统加密货币不同，模因硬币不能用作电子货币，通常被视为没有持久价值。它们是“铸造”来利用病毒式时刻的。

“Now, on the cusp of getting some liberalization of crypto regulations in this country, the main thing people are thinking about crypto is, ‘Oh, it’s just a casino for these meme coins,’” Nic Carter, a Trump supporter and cryptocurrency investor, told the New York Post. “It does the opposite of validating us, it makes it look completely unserious.”

“现在，关于在这个国家获得加密法规的自由化的风口，人们在考虑加密货币的主要事情是，'哦，这只是这些模因硬币的赌场'，”尼克·卡特（Nic Carter） ，告诉《纽约邮报》。 “它与验证我们相反，使它看起来完全不明显。”

Similarly, keyboard Maga warriors who hoped that Trump would stick up for the American little guy are bitterly disappointed that he endorsed a financial scheme that immediately took little guys for a ride.

同样，键盘杂志勇士队希望特朗普会坚持美国的小家伙，他对自己认可的金融计划感到非常失望，这立即带小家伙乘车。

The new president claimed his coin would “celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING!”, but not everyone seems persuaded.

新总统声称他的硬币将“庆祝我们代表的一切：获胜！”，但并不是每个人都说服。

“I wish Trump was more tempered on this,” someone on a conservative Reddit forum despaired after Trump’s coin debuted. “He owns casinos and knows the addiction of gambling.” Another argued that meme coins prey “on the poor and most desperate”.

“我希望特朗普对此更加温和，”保守派Reddit论坛上的某人在特朗普的硬币首次亮相后感到绝望。 “他拥有赌场，知道赌博的成瘾。”另一个人争辩说，模因硬币“是穷人，最绝望的”。

“Can anyone make a cogent argument in favor of this?” one poster asked. Few did. “This is bad, and looks bad,” one person said.

“谁能提出一个有力的论点来支持这一点？”一张海报问。很少有。一个人说：“这很糟糕，看起来很糟糕。”

Others called the Trump token “degrad[ing] to the office of the Presidency”, “a lame money grab”, “a bad idea with a million ways to go wrong and derail his second term”, “shady”, and “kinda gross”. Another added, “This crypto is the most blatant ponzi scheme in history and we are the marks.”

其他人则称特朗普的代币为“向总统办公室”，“ la脚的钱”，“一个不错的主意，有一百万的方式犯错并脱轨了他的第二任期”，“ Shady”和“ Kinda总的”。另一个补充说：“这种加密是历史上最公然的庞氏骗局，我们是标记。”

One conservative wrote that their litmus test was “if Biden pulled this shit, how would I feel? … I can’t imagine any other president doing this”.

一位保守派写道，他们的试金石测试是“如果拜登拉了这个狗屎，我会感觉如何？ …我无法想象其他总统这样做”。

“The GOP has to find someone better for 2028,” someone said – a sentiment that was surprisingly common. “I want a real man like Vance to run this,” someone else said.

某人说：“共和党必须在2028年找到更好的人。”这种情绪令人惊讶地普遍。 “我希望像万斯这样的真正的男人能够经营这个，”其他人说。

After a meme coin named IVANKA launched last week, Ivanka Trump was forced to clarify that she had no relationship with the venture, and condemned it as “being promoted without my consent or approval”. She said the coin “risks deceiving consumers and defrauding them of their hard-earned money”, an argument that some crypto critics might say applies to all meme coins, including Trump and Melania’s official tokens.

在上周伊万卡（Ivanka）发起的一个模因硬币后，伊万卡·特朗普（Ivanka Trump）被迫澄清说她与该合资企业没有关系，并谴责它“未经我的同意或认可，被晋升”。她说，硬币“冒着欺骗消费者并欺骗他们来之不易的钱”的说法，这一论点是，一些加密批评家可能会说适用于所有模因硬币，包括特朗普和梅拉尼亚的官方代币。

The famously conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board, influential in conservative circles, ran an editorial criticizing Trump’s turn as a crypto impresario. The piece noted a litany of legal, ethical and political problems with meme coins, “vehicles for speculation” that could open Trump to civil and criminal liabilities or be used by foreign adversaries to curry influence. “No careful President would get anywhere near this kind of political risk, and we can’t recall any President who has.”

著名的保守的华尔街日报编辑委员会在保守派界的影响力，进行了社论，批评特朗普的转变为加密货币。这篇文章指出，模因硬币的一系列法律，道德和政治问题，“猜测的车辆”，可以向民事和刑事责任打开特朗普，或者外国对手用来咖喱影响。 “没有谨慎的总统会接近这种政治风险，我们不能回想起任何总统。”

The Trump token’s website contains a disclaimer noting that the tokens are “not intended to be, or to be the subject of, an investment opportunity, investment contract, or security of any type”, though that language probably does not bear much relation with how the average investor views a meme coin.

特朗普代币的网站包含一个免责声明，指出令牌“不打算或任何类型的投资机会，投资合同或安全性的主题”，尽管该语言可能与如何与普通投资者认为是模因硬币。

Undeterred, Trump’s wider business empire is stepping further into this space. On Tuesday, the Trump Media and Technology Group, which operates Trump’s social media platform Truth Social, announced the launch of a financial technology brand called “Truth.Fi”, through which the company plans to invest up to $250m in crypto-currencies and “crypto securities”, and other investment accounts

特朗普的更广泛的商业帝国并没有避免，正进一步进入这个领域。周二，经营特朗普的社交媒体平台真相社交的特朗普媒体和技术集团宣布推出了一个名为“ Truth.fi”的金融技术品牌，该公司计划通过该品牌投资于加密货币2.5亿美元“加密证券”和其他投资帐户
