Cryptocurrency titans make it seem easy for anyone to get rich off digital coins, and anyone who isn’t making millions in their free time is wasting an opportunity.

加密貨幣泰坦（Titans）使任何人看起來都很容易脫離數字硬幣，而且任何在業餘時間不生產數百萬美元的人都在浪費機會。

The reality is far bleaker, especially for those who aren’t rapidly juggling several coins on an exchange or making a living from shilling coins to their followers.

現實遠不止於人們，尤其是對於那些沒有迅速在交流中雜亂無章或從先令硬幣謀生到追隨者的人。

Crypto really is the financial Wild West. There are almost no regulations or rules in digital coins as there are on the real-world currency exchanges and stock markets.

加密真的是金融野生西部。數字硬幣中幾乎沒有法規或規則，因為現實世界中的貨幣交易和股票市場上都有。

That makes it all too easy for everyone from hardened criminal gangs to petty grifters to take advantage of anyone they can reach.

這使每個人都很容易。

All too often, this comes in the form of a friendly face and the well-worn promise that you can “get rich quick.”

這常常以友好的面孔的形式出現，並且諾言是您可以“快速致富”的諾言。

To anyone over 30, those three words will immediately set off alarm bells. But in today’s TikTok and Instagram-driven world of influencers and finfluencers (the financial ‘advice’ equivalent), they have flashy new ways of dressing it up.

對於30多個人來說，這三個單詞將立即引起警鐘。但是，在當今的Tiktok和Instagram驅動的影響者和Finfluencers的世界（財務“建議”同等）中，他們具有浮華的新方法來打扮。

The latest vehicle for roping people, all too often younger men and teenagers, is are so-called meme coins. Created from thin air with names which appeal to the public – playing off celebrities, politicians, trends or grabby mascots – they make big money for their creators and the influencers who peddle them, but usually nothing for those who invest.

繩子人的最新工具，常常是年輕的男人和青少年，是所謂的模因硬幣。他們由稀薄的空氣創建，其名稱吸引了公眾 - 扮演名人，政客，趨勢或吉祥物的名字 - 他們為創作者和兜售他們的有影響力的人賺了很多錢，但通常對那些投資的人賺了很多錢。

“The easiest way to make money is to deploy a meme coin, run it and then sell as soon as you see [profits],” Sahil Arora, who’s launched over 100 of these coins and claims he’s earned millions, told The Post.

“賺錢的最簡單方法是部署模因硬幣，運行它，然後在您看到[利潤]的情況下出售，” Sahil Arora啟動了100多枚硬幣，並聲稱自己贏得了數百萬美元，他告訴《郵報》。

The crypto security firm Blockade says most of the meme coins are scams, designed to have no lasting value.

加密安全公司的封鎖表示，大多數模因硬幣都是騙局，旨在沒有持久的價值。

Like others of his ilk, straight-talking Arora profits through a process known as “rug pulling.”

就像他的同類人物一樣，通過稱為“地毯拉動”的過程，直截了當的阿羅拉（Arora）獲利。

A coin is issued, prices rise quickly as people invest, then Arora, who, as the creator, keeps a large percentage of the coins, sells at or near the currency’s height.

發行了硬幣，隨著人們投資的價格迅速上漲，然後，阿羅拉（Arora）作為創建者保留大部分硬幣的阿羅拉（Arora）在貨幣高度上或附近出售。

He makes money; those who have put money into the coin lose; he essentially ‘pulls the rug out’ from under them.

他賺錢；那些把錢投入硬幣損失的人；他本質上是從下面“拉出地毯”。

“This is the biggest casino on Earth right now,” enthused Dubai-based Arora, who bragged about being called a “super villain.”

“這是現在地球上最大的賭場。”迪拜的阿羅拉（Arora）熱情地說，他被稱為“超級惡棍”。

“If you don’t get rugged by me, you’re probably going to get rugged by someone else. So, you might as well get rugged by a person with a track record of some success rather than getting rugged by a random person on the Internet,” he bafflingly claimed.

他莫名其妙地說：“如果我不被我加固，您可能會被別人崎rug。因此，您不妨被一個有一些成功的人所牢牢的，而不是被互聯網上的隨機人牢牢紮根。”

Other, more recognizable influencers who have faced allegations of promoting meme coins and then leaving followers high and dry include Paul “Ice Poseidon” Denino, Faze Kay, and Haliey “Hawk Tuah Girl” Welch.

其他更容易被識別的影響者面臨著宣傳模因硬幣的指控，然後讓追隨者高高而乾燥，其中包括保羅“ Ice Poseidon” Denino，Faze Kay和Haliey“ Hawk Tuah Girl” Welch。

Denino has been accused of promoting a coin and walking away with $300,000, which his followers invested. He said, “I did make $300,000, but it was not at the expense of any fans or holders.”

丹諾（Denino）被指控推廣一枚硬幣，並以30萬美元的價格走開，這是他的追隨者投資的。他說：“我確實賺了300,000美元，但這並不是為了犧牲任何粉絲或持有者而犧牲。”

Faze Kay is one of several influencers who is being accused of promoting a pump-and-dump scheme for a token called Save the Kids. He tweeted that he had “no ill intent promoting any crypto alt coins.”

Faze Kay是幾個有影響力的人之一，他們被指控為名為Save the Kids的代幣促進泵和降雨計劃。他發推文說他“沒有意圖促進任何加密貨幣的意圖”。

Welch achieved quick fame as the Hawk Tuah Girl and had her name attached to a crypto that earned millions for so-called ‘snipers’.

韋爾奇（Welch）以鷹派女孩（Hawk Tuah）的名字迅速成名，並以她的名字貼在一個加密貨幣上，該加密貨幣為所謂的“狙擊手”贏得了數百萬美元。

These are people who use bots to monitor the rise of a meme coin and sell as soon as it is close to peaking.

這些人使用機器人來監視模因硬幣的興起並在接近峰值之後立即出售。

Welch’s coin $HAWK lost 95% of its value in minutes. According to Welch’s manager, she had no involvement in the scheme. To back it up, he pointed out she was cleared of any wrongdoing by the SEC and other government agencies, and she is also not named in a class action lawsuit against the coin’s operators.

韋爾奇的硬幣$霍克在幾分鐘內損失了其價值的95％。據韋爾奇的經理說，她沒有參與該計劃。為了支持這一點，他指出，SEC和其他政府機構清除了她的任何不當行為，並且在針對硬幣運營商的集體訴訟中也沒有提到她。

While crypto is a growing industry and there are genuine alternative currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have stabilized and held their value, many more are just scams.

儘管加密貨幣是一個不斷發展的行業，並且有真正的替代貨幣（例如比特幣和以太坊）穩定並擁有其價值，但更多的只是騙局。

“You get ‘influencers’ who are given [crypto] tokens in exchange for promoting them,” Kyle Chassé, a veteran crypto investor who will be appearing on an upcoming streaming show, “CryptoKnights,” told The Post.

“您會得到'有影響力的人'，他們得到了[加密]代幣以換取促進他們的''，”經驗豐富的加密投資者凱爾·查薩（KyleChassé）將出現在即將到來的流媒體節目“ Cryptoknights”中。

“It should always be disclosed that these people are being paid to promote the coin. But not everybody has the moral compass to do that.”

“應該始終透露，這些人是為了推廣硬幣的薪水。但並非每個人都有道德指南針來做到這一點。”

People who follow the influencers see them promoting a coin and buy into promises that it will “go to the moon” – crypto speak for gaining huge amounts of value.

跟隨有影響力的人看到他們宣傳硬幣並承諾，它將“登上月球” - 加密貨幣代表獲得巨大的價值。

“Everyone anticipates the price going up, and it does, because there is a big [group of people] buying into it,” a crypto consultant who goes by the name Cryptony (who asked that his real name not be used) told The Post.

“每個人都期待價格上漲，而且確實如此，因為有一大批（一群人）購買了價格，”一位以Cryptony的名字（要求不使用他的真實姓名）的加密顧問告訴帖子。

“The rich get richer,” said Cryptony

“富人變得更富有，”加密說
