買家花費了超過1.4億美元來搶購$ trump Meme硬幣，有機會與特朗普總統一起用餐

4月23日，該數字貨幣宣布其截至5月12日的前220名持有人將被邀請與總統共進晚餐。

People are buying up meme coins in a bid to get an invitation to an “intimate dinner” with President Trump, according to data analytics firm Inca Digital.

根據數據分析公司Inca Digital的說法，人們正在購買模因硬幣，以便與特朗普總統一起邀請“親密晚餐”。

As of May 12, the top 220 holders of the $TRUMP meme coin, which is partly owned by an affiliate of the Trump Organization, will be invited to the dinner, announced the digital currency on April 23.

截至5月12日，$特朗普模因硬幣的前220名持有人將邀請特朗普組織的一部分由特朗普組織的分支機構擁有。

That helped push up the value of the meme coin by more than 40% from the announcement through May 12, partially reversing an 88% slump in the weeks prior.

這有助於將模因硬幣的價值提高超過40％以上，從5月12日到5月12日，在前幾週內部分扭轉了88％的低迷。

The top holders of the $TRUMP meme coin paid anywhere from as little as $53,500 to as much as $16.4 million to snag one of the dinner invites with Mr. Trump, found Inca Digital's analysis of the digital currency's transactions.

$特朗普模因硬幣的頂級持有人支付的費用低至53,500美元至1,640萬美元，以與特朗普先生一起邀請晚宴，發現印加數字對數字貨幣的交易進行了分析。

The biggest holder of the digital currency at the contest's end was an account named Sun VIP, as of May 12, the analysis found.

分析發現，在比賽結尾處，數字貨幣的最大持有人是5月12日的一個名為Sun VIP的帳戶。

It's impossible to know the identity of any of the account owners due to the anonymity of digital wallets, but many of the purchases were made through exchanges that don't accept U.S. customers, such as Bybit and Gate.io, noted Inca's research.

由於數字錢包的匿名性，不可能知道任何帳戶所有者的身份，但是許多購買是通過不接受美國客戶（例如Bybit和Gate.io）的交流進行的。

"A ton of these users sent funds to international exchanges," said Austin Ryan, director of marketing for Inca Digital, which analyzes crypto data for risk issues like liquidity and front-running. "The thought is that if they are interacting with those exchanges, they are not in the U.S."

Inca Digital的營銷總監Austin Ryan說：“其中一大噸用戶向國際交流匯款。” “想法是，如果他們與這些交流互動，他們就不在美國”

The dinner contest has raised concerns from government watchdogs and Democratic lawmakers about purchases of a Trump-branded asset being linked to access to the president. Also, because the $TRUMP coin is partly owned by an affiliate of the Trump Organization, the president's real estate organization, he and his family stand to benefit financially from purchases of the meme coin, critics add.

晚宴大賽引起了政府監管機構和民主黨立法者的擔憂，即購買與總統訪問的特朗普品牌資產有關。同樣，由於特朗普硬幣是由特朗普組織（總統的房地產組織）的分支機構部分擁有的，因此他和他的家人將從購買模因硬幣的購買中受益。

The @TRUMP meme coin site hasn't disclosed the identities of the 220 top holders, who under the promotion are in line to dine with Mr. Trump.

@Trump Meme Coin網站尚未透露220名頂級持有人的身份，後者在晉升下與特朗普先生一起用餐。

"I think it's concerning that the names of the 220 people who will be eating dinner with President Trump are shrouded by their anonymous crypto usernames," said Tony Carrk, the executive director of watchdog group Accountable.US.

WatchDog Group Carsingable.us的執行董事Tony Carrk說：“我認為這是關於將與特朗普總統一起吃晚餐的220人的名字被他們的匿名加密用戶名所籠罩。”

The White House and the Trump Organization didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

白宮和特朗普組織沒有立即回應置評請求。

The dinner will take place on May 22 at the Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C., according to the $TRUMP meme coin website. The top 25 holders will "will enjoy a Private VIP Reception with President TRUMP" as well as a "Special VIP TOUR," the site adds.

根據$特朗普模因硬幣網站，晚餐將於5月22日在華盛頓特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部舉行。該網站補充說，前25名持有人將“將與特朗普總統一起享受私人VIP招待會”以及“特殊VIP之旅”。

Earlier this year, Eric Trump, one of Mr. Trump's sons, said the $TRUMP coin is "the hottest digital meme on earth."

今年早些時候，特朗普先生的兒子之一埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）說，特朗普硬幣是“地球上最熱門的數字模因”。

Decentralization is foundational to cryptocurrency. Bitcoin, the world's most popular crypto, was born in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis as a digital currency meant to be uncontrolled by banks or governments.

權力下放是加密貨幣的基礎。比特幣是世界上最受歡迎的加密貨幣，出生於2008年金融危機之後，是一種數字貨幣，旨在不受銀行或政府的控制。

$TRUMP meme coins can be traded on a decentralized exchange, which is essentially a place where traders can swap goods without a middleman.

$特朗普的模因硬幣可以通過分散的交易所進行交易，這實際上是交易者可以在沒有中間商的情況下交換商品的地方。

Instead of matching buyers and sellers one by one, decentralized exchanges use something called a liquidity pool to ensure trades can happen easily and instantly. Liquidity pools are essentially an automated pot of funds that pair meme coins like $TRUMP with more popular types of crypto that can be easily traded.

分散的交易所沒有將買賣雙方一一匹配，而是使用所謂的流動性池來確保交易可以輕鬆，立即發生。流動性池本質上是自動化的資金庫，將模因硬幣與$ TRUMP這樣的模因硬幣與更受歡迎的加密貨幣搭配在一起，很容易被交易。

When the $TRUMP meme coin was first launched, its creators initially released 20% of the planned 1 billion total coins. Half of that 20% was put up for public sale while the other half was put into a liquidity pool. CIC Digital, an affiliate of the Trump Organization, and another company called Fight Fight Fight, receive "trading revenue derived from trading activities" of the Trump meme coins, according to its website.

當$特朗普的模因硬幣首次推出時，其創作者最初釋放了計劃10億枚硬幣的20％。該20％的一半被放在公開銷售中，而另一半被放入流動性池中。根據其網站，特朗普組織的分支機構CIC Digital和另一家名為“戰鬥戰鬥”的公司獲得了特朗普模因硬幣的“貿易收入”。

Through the liquidity pool, the creators of Mr. Trump's meme coins make money by charging transactional fees on each trade. Those fees are typically very small — usually a fraction of a percent of the trade amount.

通過流動性池，特朗普先生的模因硬幣的創造者通過向每次交易收取交易費用來賺錢。這些費用通常很小 - 通常是貿易金額的一小部分。
