戴夫·波特諾（Dave Portnoy

Barstool Sports直言不諱的創始人在Coindesk的2025年共識中使用了他的首次亮相，在XRP上訓練了會議聚光燈。

"We have a strict editorial policy, which focuses on accuracy, relevance, impartiality. Morbi pretium leo et nisl aliquam mollis. Quisque arcu lorem, ultricies quis pellentesque nec, ullamcorper eu odio."

“我們有一項嚴格的社論政策，重點是準確性，相關性，公正性。足球價格和球員最新軟性。每一個arcu lorem，超級營養或ullamcorper足球仇恨。”

Dave Portnoy, the outspoken founder of Barstool Sports, used his debut appearance at CoinDesk’s Consensus to train the conference spotlight on XRP.

Barstool Sports直言不諱的創始人Dave Portnoy在Coindesk的共識中首次亮相，訓練了XRP上的會議聚光燈。

Speaking on the Metro Toronto Convention Centre mainstage, Portnoy acknowledged that he bought the token for one reason only: fear of missing out.

波特諾伊在多倫多大都會會議中心的主舞台上發表講話時承認，他僅出於一個原因購買了代幣：害怕錯過。

Joined on-stage by media strategist Sam Ewan, Portnoy opened with light banter about Toronto pizza—'North of Brooklyn still is, I would say, my favorite,' he insisted, giving 'shout-out Bill the Greek, who's like my chaperone for Toronto'—before turning to the market that drew thousands to Consensus.

媒體策略師薩姆·伊万（Sam Ewan）在舞台上加入了舞台，波特諾伊（Portnoy）對多倫多披薩（Toronto Pizza）開了笑聲 - 布魯克林（Brooklyn of Brooklyn）仍然是我最喜歡的，'他堅持說，“他堅持說，給希臘人大喊大叫，他像我的陪伴一樣，像我的陪伴人一樣，是多倫多的陪伴，在那些轉向市場上，這吸引了成千上萬的人。

Pressed on whether the current cycle is dominated by so-called meme coins, Portnoy cut to the chase.

按下當前週期是否由所謂的模因硬幣主導，切入了追逐。

'Even Bitcoin is, frankly, a memecoin,' said Portnoy, setting the tone for a discussion that ping-ponged between portfolio confessions and cultural critique.

Portnoy說：“坦率地說，即使是比特幣也是一個紀念因素。”

When Ewan tried to pinpoint Portnoy's boldest wager, the 47-year-old rattled off winners the way others recall birthdays: Axon stock at roughly $200 (now about $700, he noted), Michigan's Rose Bowl triumph, and Scottie Scheffler capturing the Masters.

當伊万（Ewan）試圖指出波特諾伊（Portnoy）最大膽的賭注時，這位47歲的年輕人以其他人回想起生日的方式撲滅了獲獎者：軸突股票約為200美元（他指出，他指出的是700美元），密歇根州的玫瑰碗勝利，蘇吉特·謝夫勒（Scottie Scheffler）佔領了大師。

Yet he called those victories 'two different things' from the instant, couch-bound gratification of watching a line of green candles.

然而，他將這些勝利稱為“兩件不同的事情”，即瞬間，圍繞著一條綠色蠟燭的沙髮束縛的滿足感。

'There's something about it when you place a bet, you see Bitcoin go up, you see XRP go up, and you're just sitting on your couch—'I made that money not working.' That's a great feeling,' he admitted.

“當您下注時，您會看到比特幣上升，看到XRP上升了，您只是坐在沙發上 - '我賺了這筆錢不起作用。”這真是一種很棒的感覺，”他承認。

Portnoy's self-diagnosed FOMO emerged in sharper relief as the conversation turned to real estate. He recalled smashing his fist on a desk after being outbid on a Miami apartment by 'a crypto bro' who 'heard about Bitcoin when it was, I don't know, eight bucks, seven bucks.'

當談話轉向房地產時，Portnoy的自我診斷的FOMO浮出水面。他回憶起在邁阿密公寓上被“加密兄弟”（A Crypto Bro）撞到邁阿密公寓後的拳頭，他“聽說比特幣時，我不知道，八美元，七美元。”

The episode, he said, crystallised the anxiety of missing an asymmetric trade: 'I've slaved for twenty years and he just out-bid me.'

他說，這一集使缺少不對稱貿易的焦慮結晶：“我已經被奴役了二十年了，他只是在招募我。”

That same impulse, Portnoy confessed, now drives his position in XRP.

Portnoy承認，同樣的衝動現在推動了他在XRP中的位置。

'It's what—two bucks forty cents or something like that? What if that's the next Bitcoin?' said Portnoy, stressing that his allocation is fueled by a speculative itch rather than a thesis about Ripple's technology or tokenomics. 'It's FOMO. It's not like I have some grand belief in it.'

``這是什麼 - 雄鹿四十美分或類似的東西嗎？如果那是下一個比特幣怎麼辦？ Portnoy說，他強調說，他的分配是由投機性的瘙癢所促進的，而不是關於Ripple技術或令牌組學的論文。 '這是FOMO。這並不是我對此有一些宏偉的信念。

In perhaps the panel's most revealing anecdote, Portnoy recounted his chance encounter with the Winklevoss twins at a hotel. The twins, famous for co-founding Facebook with Mark Zuckerberg, stayed next door to Portnoy and invited him to breakfast to discuss Bitcoin.

也許在小組最揭示的軼事中，Portnoy講述了他在酒店與Winklevoss雙胞胎的偶然相遇。這對雙胞胎以與馬克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）共同創立Facebook而聞名，他住在Portnoy的隔壁，並邀請他吃早餐討論比特幣。

At the time, Portnoy had a tidy sum of $10 million in his bank account and decided to allocate a portion to the cryptocurrency. However, despite the twins' attempts to explain the technology behind Bitcoin, Portnoy found himself completely indifferent.

當時，Portnoy在其銀行帳戶中有1000萬美元的款項，並決定將一部分分配給加密貨幣。但是，儘管雙胞胎試圖解釋比特幣背後的技術，但波特諾伊發現自己完全無動於衷。

Instead, he was focused on their upbeat predictions for the token's price. As the twins spoke, Portnoy kept thinking to himself, "It’s going to go up?"

取而代之的是，他專注於他們對代幣價格的樂觀預測。當雙胞胎講話時，波特諾伊一直在思考：“它會上升嗎？”

Finally, the twins' enthusiasm proved contagious, and Portnoy decided to invest a significant portion of his earnings in Bitcoin. However, in a sudden shift of heart, Portnoy sold off all his Bitcoin holdings right there in the hotel room.

最後，雙胞胎的熱情證明了傳染性，Portnoy決定將其收益的很大一部分投資於比特幣。但是，在心臟突然轉移的情況下，Portnoy在酒店房間裡賣掉了他所有的比特幣藏品。

The forfeited position—'about $2 million'—would have dwarfed every other win in his career, he said, highlighting the emotional swing between conviction and capitulation that defines many retail journeys through crypto's boom-and-bust cycles.

他說，沒收的職位 - “ 200萬美元”將使他職業生涯的其他勝利相形見,，強調了信念和投降之間的情感搖擺，這些情感揮舞著通過Crypto的繁榮和狂暴的周期來定義許多零售之旅。

At press time, XRP is trading at $2.40.
