特朗普的 Meme 币的推出引起了加密货币行业的愤怒

唐纳德·特朗普总统和他的妻子推出模因币后，他在加密货币行业的商誉受到了打击——批评者称此举看起来像是一种不体面的抢钱行为，破坏了数字资产合法化的努力。

President Donald Trump’s effort to build goodwill in the cryptocurrency industry hit a snag after he and his wife launched their own meme coins — a move that critics say looks like an unseemly cash grab and undermines an effort to legitimize digital assets.

唐纳德·特朗普总统和他的妻子推出了自己的模因币后，他在加密货币行业建立商誉的努力遇到了障碍——批评者称此举看起来像是一种不体面的抢钱行为，并破坏了数字资产合法化的努力。

The industry, which felt unfairly targeted by the Biden administration and spent heavily to help Trump win, is eager for the new president’s help to make crypto a bigger part of mainstream financial systems. Trump has promised a lighter regulatory touch and picked pro-crypto officials for key government positions.

该行业感觉自己受到了拜登政府的不公平攻击，并花费巨资帮助特朗普获胜，因此渴望新总统的帮助，使加密货币成为主流金融体系的更大组成部分。特朗普承诺采取更宽松的监管措施，并挑选支持加密货币的官员担任关键政府职位。

The price of bitcoin and other digital assets has soared since Trump won. A lavish “Crypto Ball” Friday ahead of Trump’s inauguration sold tickets for thousands of dollars and featured a performance by the rapper Snoop Dogg.

自特朗普获胜以来，比特币和其他数字资产的价格飙升。周五，特朗普就职典礼前举行的一场奢华的“加密舞会”门票售价高达数千美元，并有说唱歌手史努比狗狗的表演。

But as that party was ongoing, Trump announced on social media he was offering his very own cryptocurrency in the form of a meme coin. The move dampened the mood for many in the crypto community.

但随着派对的进行，特朗普在社交媒体上宣布，他将以模因币的形式提供自己的加密货币。此举打击了加密社区许多人的情绪。

“I really was kind of bummed out when I saw it,” said Tom Schmidt, a partner at a crypto venture capital firm Dragonfly. “It just felt very grifty and cheap.”

“当我看到它时，我真的有点沮丧，”加密货币风险投资公司 Dragonfly 的合伙人汤姆·施密特 (Tom Schmidt) 说。 “感觉非常肮脏和廉价。”

Some crypto fans even joked on social media they missed Gary Gensler, the recently departed chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission who was viewed as the Biden administration’s chief crypto antagonist thanks to the SEC’s aggressive enforcement actions against crypto companies.

一些加密货币粉丝甚至在社交媒体上开玩笑说，他们想念最近离任的美国证券交易委员会主席加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler)，由于美国证券交易委员会对加密货币公司采取了积极的执法行动，他被视为拜登政府的主要加密货币对手。

Meme coins are among the wilder and more unregulated corners of the crypto universe. They often start as a joke with no real value but can surge in price if enough people are willing to buy them. Popular meme coins include Dogecoin, whose mascot is a dog, and Fartcoin. Scammers have tried to pump up the price of certain meme coins before dumping them on unsavvy investors.

Meme 币是加密世界中最狂野、更不受监管的角落之一。它们通常只是一个玩笑，没有任何实际价值，但如果有足够多的人愿意购买，价格可能会飙升。流行的模因币包括吉祥物是狗的狗狗币和放屁币。诈骗者试图抬高某些模因币的价格，然后将其抛售给不精明的投资者。

Some crypto enthusiasts hailed the Trump meme coin’s release and eager buyers drove up the price of the coin to above $70 each. The price fell dramatically on Sunday after First Lady Melania Trump announced the launch of her own meme coin, which also saw an initial price spike followed by a large fall. As of Tuesday afternoon, Trump’s meme coin was trading at about $45 while the Melania meme coin was at about $4.

一些加密货币爱好者对特朗普模因硬币的发布表示欢迎，而热切的买家将硬币的价格推高至每枚 70 美元以上。在第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普宣布推出自己的模因币后，周日价格大幅下跌，该币的价格最初也出现飙升，随后大幅下跌。截至周二下午，特朗普的模因币交易价格约为 45 美元，而梅拉尼娅模因币的交易价格约为 4 美元。

Trump named SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda as the agency’s acting chief Tuesday and Uyeda quickly announced he was launching a new crypto task force to set the SEC on a “sensible regulatory path.”

周二，特朗普任命 SEC 专员 Mark Uyeda 为该机构代理负责人，Uyeda 很快宣布他将成立一个新的加密货币工作组，以使 SEC 走上“明智的监管道路”。

Trump has promised to create a U.S. bitcoin stockpile and enact industry-friendly rules that make it easier for crypto companies to access the broader financial market.

特朗普承诺建立美国比特币储备，并制定有利于行业的规则，使加密货币公司更容易进入更广泛的金融市场。

But by associating himself so closely with meme coins, some crypto fans worry that Trump hurts his ability to enact reforms.

但由于特朗普将自己与模因币如此紧密地联系在一起，一些加密货币粉丝担心特朗普会损害他实施改革的能力。

“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,’” said Nic Carter, a Trump supporter and partner at the crypto investment firm Castle Island Ventures. “It does the opposite of validating us, it makes it look completely unserious.”

特朗普的支持者兼合伙人尼克·卡特 (Nic Carter) 表示：“现在，在这个国家即将放开加密货币监管的风口浪尖上，人们对加密货币的主要思考是，‘哦，这只是这些迷因币的赌场。’”在加密货币投资公司 Castle Island Ventures 工作。 “这与验证我们相反，它让它看起来完全不严肃。”

The sale of Trump meme coins was organized by CIC Digital, an affiliate of the Trump Organization. In promoting the meme coin, Trump told supporters to “Have Fun!” The website selling the tokens says they are meant as expressions of support and not an investment opportunity. The coin’s website said 200 million Trump meme coins are currently available, with plans to issue 1 billion over the next three years.

特朗普模因币的销售是由特朗普组织的附属机构 CIC Digital 组织的。在推广模因硬币时，特朗普告诉支持者“玩得开心！”销售代币的网站表示，它们是为了表达支持，而不是投资机会。该币的网站称，目前有 2 亿枚特朗普表情包硬币，计划在未来三年内发行 10 亿枚。

The Trump family business recently released an ethics agreement that prohibits Trump from “day-to-day” decision making at the Trump Organization when he’s president and limits financial information about the business shared with him.

特朗普家族企业最近发布了一项道德协议，禁止特朗普在担任总统期间参与特朗普集团的“日常”决策，并限制与他分享有关该企业的财务信息。

The president and first lady were not the only ones promoting new cryptocurrencies around the inauguration. Lorenzo Sewell, the Michigan pastor who gave a spirited inaugural invocation Monday, announced the launch of a new coin named after him, which he said would be used to benefit his church.

总统和第一夫人并不是唯一在就职典礼期间推广新加密货币的人。周一，密歇根州牧师洛伦佐·休厄尔 (Lorenzo Sewell) 发表了热情洋溢的就职典礼，他宣布推出一种以他的名字命名的新硬币，他说这将用于造福他的教会。

“I need you to do me a favor right now, I need to you to go buy the official Lorenzo Sewell coin,” Sewell said in a video post on social media.

“我现在需要你帮我一个忙，我需要你去购买洛伦佐·休厄尔官方硬币，”休厄尔在社交媒体上的视频帖子中说道。
