Vitalik Buterin 警告政客推出像特朗普和梅拉尼娅这样的模因币会招致犯罪活动

政客硬币的风险来自于它们是完美的贿赂工具。

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both launched their own cryptocurrencies ahead of his January 20 inauguration, a move that one leading figure in the crypto world is now arguing could usher in an era of corruption in the future.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 和第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普 (Melania Trump) 在 1 月 20 日就职典礼之前都推出了自己的加密货币，加密世界的一位领军人物现在认为此举可能会在未来迎来一个腐败时代。

Just before the inauguration, President Trump's cryptocurrency, dubbed $TRUMP, quickly hit a market cap of approximately $32 billion (Axios reported that it hit a high of more than $52 billion). First Lady Melania Trump also launched her own cryptocurrency, $MELANIA, which topped $6 billion within hours of its release.

就在就职典礼之前，特朗普总统的加密货币（被称为“$TRUMP”）的市值迅速达到约 320 亿美元（Axios 报道称其市值达到了超过 520 亿美元的高点）。第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普还推出了自己的加密货币 $MELANIA，发布后数小时内价值就突破了 60 亿美元。

While Castle Island Ventures general partner Nic Carter voted for Trump, he told the Washington Post that he was "left scratching [his] head" and "pretty dismayed" about the president's new cryptocurrency.

虽然 Castle Island Ventures 的普通合伙人尼克·卡特投票给了特朗普，但他告诉《华盛顿邮报》，他对总统的新加密货币感到“摸不着头脑”和“非常沮丧”。

"It cheapens his embrace of the crypto industry," Carter said.

“这削弱了他对加密行业的热情，”卡特说。

In a post to Bluesky, Vitalik Buterin — who created the popular Ethereum cryptocurrency that's valued at more than $400 billion — said that politicians who get into the crypto business are inviting criminal activity. He called "politician coins" like $TRUMP and $MELANIA "risky to democracy."

创建了价值超过 4000 亿美元的流行以太坊加密货币的 Vitalik Buterin 在 Bluesky 的一篇文章中表示，进入加密行业的政客正在招致犯罪活动。他称像 $TRUMP 和 $MELANIA 这样的“政客硬币”“对民主有风险”。

"The risk of politician coins comes from the fact that they are such a perfect bribery vehicle. If a politician issues a coin, you do not even need to send them any coins to give them money," he wrote. "Instead, you just buy and hold the coin, and this increases the value of their holdings passively."

“政客硬币的风险来自于它们是完美的贿赂工具。如果政客发行硬币，你甚至不需要向他们发送任何硬币来给他们钱，”他写道。 “相反，你只需购买并持有代币，这就会被动地增加他们所持代币的价值。”

On Thursday, Trump signed an executive order announcing his intent to curb regulation of cryptocurrency, and laying out plans for the federal government to have a national cryptocurrency reserve. Carter said that executive order in the context of him releasing his own cryptocurrency "makes it look like quid pro quo" and creates conflicts of interest.

周四，特朗普签署了一项行政命令，宣布他打算限制对加密货币的监管，并为联邦政府制定了建立国家加密货币储备的计划。卡特表示，在他发布自己的加密货币的背景下发布的行政命令“使其看起来像是交换条件”，并造成了利益冲突。

"I recommend politicians do not go down this path," Buterin said.

“我建议政治家不要走这条路，”Buterin 说。
