华盛顿公民的责任和道德公民发言人说：“这是您所能获得的不道德。”

加密货币唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在返回椭圆形办公室之前几天发起，在周三下午又得到了很大的推动，因为Meme Coin背后的特朗普拥有的公司宣布，其顶级持有人将被邀请与总统一起参加独家晚宴，而25名领先的买家将获得白宫的特殊VIP之旅。

The cryptocurrency Donald Trump launched days before returning to the Oval Office got a big boost on Wednesday afternoon, as the Trump-owned company behind the meme coin announced that its top holders would be invited to an exclusive dinner with the president—and the 25 leading buyers will get a special VIP tour of the White House.

加密货币唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在返回椭圆形办公室之前几天发起，在周三下午又得到了很大的推动，因为Meme Coin背后的特朗普拥有的公司宣布，其顶级持有人将被邀请与总统一起参加独家晚宴，而25名领先的买家将获得白宫的特殊VIP之旅。

Launched one business day after Trump’s inauguration in January, the cryptocurrency—which has no inherent value or particular use—immediately saw its value shoot from just $6.29 to $74, before crashing to around $10 by early March. The price has since slumped as low as $7.57 and was last hovering around $9 on Monday. But a little before noon Eastern Time on Tuesday, the price steadily began rising, hitting a peak of $14.28 a few moments after the coin’s official X account announced a special event for top investors of $TRUMP.

特朗普在一月份就职典礼后发起了一个工作日，加密货币（没有固有的价值或特定用途）立即看到其价值从6.29美元到74美元，然后在3月初跌至10美元左右。此后，价格低至7.57美元，最后一次盘旋在周一9美元左右。但是在周二中午东部时间之前，价格稳步上涨，在硬币的官方X帐户宣布为$ $特朗普的顶级投资者举行特别活动之后，价格达到14.28美元。

"This is about as unethical as you can get—essentially selling off access to the president."

“这是您所能获得的不道德 - 基本上出售与总统的机会。”

According to the coin’s official website, its top 220 holders will be invited to a special May 22 dinner at Trump’s country club outside Washington, DC.

根据硬币的官方网站，其前220名持有人将被邀请参加5月22日在华盛顿特区特朗普的乡村俱乐部举行的特别晚餐。

An even more special perk is in store for the 25 biggest holders, who “will be invited for an ultra-exclusive private VIP Reception with the President. And separately by us to a Special White House Tour.” Although littered with grammatical errors, the coin’s website emphasizes at every opportunity that it’s promoting an event with the sitting president of the United States.

为25个最大的持有人提供了一个更特别的特权，他们“将被邀请与总统进行超级专有的私人贵宾接待。尽管硬币的网站散布着语法错误，但在每一个机会中都强调，它正在与美国现任总统一起促进活动。

“This is one of the most exclusive events in the world,” the website notes in its FAQ. “This is a high-security, high-status event with President Trump. If you earned a seat at the table, it’s because you earned it.”

该网站在常见问题解答中指出：“这是世界上最独特的事件之一。” “这是与特朗普总统的高度安全，高地位的活动。如果您在桌子上赢得了席位，那是因为您赢得了席位。”

“You are having Dinner with the President of the USA!” the website enthuses under a section about event security, warning that anyone attending will have to pass a background check and can’t hail from a country that doesn’t participate in Know Your Customer banking regulations.

“您正在与美国总统共进晚餐！”该网站在一节有关活动安全性的部分中兴奋，警告说，参加的任何人都必须通过背景调查，而不能来自不参与您的客户银行法规的国家 /地区。

Meme coins have no intrinsic value or particular usefulness as currency, but serve more as a cultural signifier. They usually are based on an internet joke, such as the meme's fascination with the "doge" dog (Dogecoin), or make use of a celebrity's image. While real money can be made from the speculative highs and lows of meme coin trading, it's also one of the sectors of the crypto world most prone to bubbles and subsequent collapses.

模因硬币没有作为货币的内在价值或特殊用途，但更多地用作文化象征。它们通常是基于互联网笑话，例如模因对“ Doge”狗（Dogecoin）的迷恋，或使用名人的形象。虽然可以从模因硬币交易的投机高点和低点赚取真实资金，但它也是加密货币世界的领域之一，最容易容易出现气泡和随后的崩溃。

After Trump announced the coin, many crypto enthusiasts—who have largely been supportive of the president—cringed at his association with one of the blockchain's more frivolous incarnations. But Trump coin holders did appear to heed the call to enter to win a seat at the event—or on the tour—with a number of users registering multi-million dollar caches of $TRUMP in the hours following.

在特朗普宣布硬币后，许多加密爱好者（在很大程度上支持总统）与他与区块链更轻率的化身之一的关联。但是，特朗普硬币持有人确实听到了打电话的电话，以在此次活动或巡回演出中赢得席位，并在随后的几个小时内注册了数百万美元的$ trump的用户。

Jordan Libowitz, a spokesperson for the nonpartisan group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, characterized the move as a naked quid pro quo. “The closest situation I can think of was Bill Clinton hosting major donors in the Lincoln Bedroom,” Libowitz said, “but that pales in comparison to this. This is about as unethical as you can get—essentially selling off access to the president and the White House.”

华盛顿非党派公民负责责任和道德的发言人乔丹·利博蒂茨（Jordan Libowitz）将这一举动描述为裸体怪癖。 Libowitz说：“我能想到的最接近的情况是比尔·克林顿（Bill Clinton）在林肯卧室里接待了主要捐助者，但与此相比，这显得苍白。这与您所能获得的不道德，这实际上是在与总统和白宫的接触范围内出售。”

What it probably wasn’t, he said, was illegal: “There are, unfortunately, no laws that apply to the president that could be violated here, unless one of the top 25 holders was something like a foreign state’s wealth fund.” In that case, Libowitz said, the Constitution’s emoluments clause could come into play—and, separately, “any staffer involved in selling access to the White House may have some issues.”

他说，这可能不是非法的：“不幸的是，没有对总统适用的法律，除非前25名持有人中的一位像外国的财富基金。” Libowitz说，在这种情况下，《宪法》的艾式条款可能会发挥作用，并且单独，“参与销售进入白宫的任何工作人员可能会有一些问题。”

The coin’s official website notes in its fine print that the tours were set up by FightFightFight LLC—a company whose ownership is unclear, but which controls 80 percent of the coin’s theoretical supply in partnership with CIC Digital, a company owned by the Trump Organization.

硬币的官方网站在其精美的印刷品上指出，旅行是由FightFightfight Fight Fight Flc建立的，该公司的所有权尚不清楚，但它与特朗普组织拥有的公司CIC Digital合作控制了硬币的80％的理论供应。

The White House did not return a request for comment on the tours and what they might include—or how they might differ from standard White House tours, which are typically arranged through members of Congress.

白宫没有返回对旅行的置评请求及其可能包括的内容，或者它们与标准的白宫旅行社有何不同，这通常是通过国会议员安排的。
