特朗普模因硬币价值飙升，可能会增加当选总统的净资产

美国当选总统唐纳德·特朗普在就职前推出了一种新的加密货币代币，该代币的价值正在飙升，并有可能增加他的净资产。

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has launched a new cryptocurrency token that is quickly rising in value, potentially boosting his net worth just before his inauguration. It’s the latest norm-defying promotion by Mr. Trump, who has also helped sell branded bibles, gold sneakers and diamond-encrusted watches.

美国当选总统唐纳德·特朗普推出了一种新的加密货币代币，该代币的价值正在迅速上涨，可能会在就职前增加他的净资产。这是特朗普最新的一项违反常规的促销活动，他还帮助销售了品牌圣经、金色运动鞋和镶钻手表。

“It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING! Join my very special Trump Community,” Mr. Trump said in a social post late Friday promoting the new tokens. They are marketed with a picture of Mr. Trump holding a fist up superimposed over the words “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT,” a reference to Mr. Trump’s response to an assassination attempt at a political rally in July.

“是时候庆祝我们所代表的一切了：胜利！加入我非常特别的特朗普社区，”特朗普先生在周五晚些时候推广新代币的社交帖子中说道。它们的营销方式是一张特朗普举起拳头的照片，上面叠加了“FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT”字样，指的是特朗普对 7 月份一次政治集会上发生的暗杀企图的回应。

In promoting the meme coin, Mr. Trump told supporters to “Have Fun!” The website selling the tokens says they are meant as expressions of support and not an investment opportunity.

在推广模因币时，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。

That didn’t stop people from trying to make money. The Trump meme coins started selling for US$10 each before soaring to as high as about US$70 as of Sunday morning. It fell sharply later Sunday after Mr. Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, posted about a meme coin for her. The Melania coin was trading for around US$5 Sunday afternoon.

这并没有阻止人们努力赚钱。特朗普模因硬币的售价最初为每枚 10 美元，随后截至周日上午飙升至约 70 美元。周日晚些时候，特朗普先生和他的妻子梅拉尼娅·特朗普(Melania Trump)发布了有关为她设计的表情包硬币后，股价大幅下跌。周日下午，梅拉尼娅币的交易价格约为 5 美元。

Meme coins are a strange and highly volatile corner of the crypto industry that often start as a joke with no real value but can surge in price if enough people are willing to buy them. Dogecoin, the cryptocurrency whose mascot is a super-cute dog that muses things like “much wow,” is perhaps the most well known. Meme coins can be used by scammers looking to make a quick fortune at the expense of unwary investors.

Meme 币是加密货币行业中一个奇怪且高度不稳定的角落，它通常作为一个没有实际价值的笑话开始，但如果有足够多的人愿意购买它们，价格可能会飙升。狗狗币（Dogecoin）是一种加密货币，它的吉祥物是一只超级可爱的狗，它会发出“哇哦”之类的声音，这也许是最著名的。骗子可以利用 Meme 币来快速发财，而牺牲粗心的投资者的利益。

Some crypto enthusiasts hailed the Trump meme coin’s release, saying it’s symbolic of the incoming president’s support for an industry that felt unfairly targeted by the Biden administration. Mr. Trump has promised to usher in crypto-friendly regulations and picked crypto cheerleaders for key government positions.

一些加密货币爱好者对特朗普模因硬币的发布表示欢迎，称这象征着即将上任的总统对这个被拜登政府不公平对待的行业的支持。特朗普先生承诺引入有利于加密货币的法规，并挑选加密货币啦啦队担任关键政府职位。

Critics said the Trump meme coin could be a dangerous way for special interests and foreign governments to try and buy influence with the president.

批评者表示，特朗普模因硬币可能是特殊利益集团和外国政府试图向总统购买影响力的危险方式。

“Now anyone in world can essentially deposit money into bank account of President of USA with a couple clicks,” Anthony Scaramucci, a former Trump White House communications director, said on X.

“现在世界上任何人都可以通过点击几下鼠标将钱存入美国总统的银行账户，”前特朗普白宫通讯主管安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇 (Anthony Scaramucci) 在 X 上表示。

The sale of Trump meme coin was organized by CIC Digital, an affiliate of the Trump Organization. The coin’s website said 200 million Trump meme coins are currently available, with plans to issue one billion over the next three years. CIC Digital and another company collectively own 80 per cent of the Trump meme coins and will receive “trading revenue derived from trading activities,” according to the token’s website.

特朗普模因币的销售是由特朗普集团的附属机构 CIC Digital 组织的。该币的网站称，目前有 2 亿枚特朗普模因币可供使用，并计划在未来三年内发行 10 亿枚。据该代币网站称，CIC Digital 和另一家公司总共拥有 80% 的特朗普表情包代币，并将获得“来自交易活动的交易收入”。

The Trump family business recently released an ethics agreement that prohibits Mr. 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。

Mr. Trump and his family previously helped launch a new venture to trade cryptocurrencies last year. The president-elect has also dabbled in NFTs, or nonfungible tokens, and last year reported earning between US$100,000 and US$1-million from a series of digital trading cards that portrayed him in cartoon-like images, including as an astronaut, a cowboy and a superhero.

特朗普先生和他的家人去年曾帮助创办了一家新的加密货币交易企业。这位候任总统还涉足了 NFT（即不可替代代币），去年报道称，他从一系列以卡通形象描绘的数字交易卡（包括宇航员、牛仔）中赚取了 10 万美元到 100 万美元之间的收入。和一个超级英雄。

Mr. Trump’s social media company, Truth Social, has also defied traditional notions of value. Despite struggling to raise revenue, the company is currently valued at more than US$8-billion as Mr. Trump’s supporters help boost the stock price and his net worth along with it.

特朗普的社交媒体公司 Truth Social 也挑战了传统的价值观念。尽管在增加收入方面举步维艰，但由于特朗普的支持者帮助推高了股价和他的净资产，该公司目前的估值已超过 80 亿美元。
