為什麼狗狗幣對加密貨幣來說不是「一件好事」：Ripple首席執行官

在最近舉行的2024 年共識大會上，Ripple 首席執行官布拉德·加林豪斯(Brad Garlinghouse) 對加密貨幣的現狀發表了尖銳的評論，特別關注了狗狗幣及其在更廣泛的行業中的作用。

At the recent Consensus 2024 Conference, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, shared his thoughts on the state of cryptocurrency, zooming in on Dogecoin and its role in the industry. His assessment was critical yet nuanced, emphasizing that his reservations about Dogecoin stem from concerns over its utility and the speculative dynamics it fosters rather than an outright opposition to the coin itself.

在最近舉行的 2024 年共識會議上，Ripple 執行長 Brad Garlinghouse 分享了他對加密貨幣現狀的看法，重點介紹了狗狗幣及其在行業中的作用。他的評價既批判又細緻，強調他對狗狗幣的保留源於對其效用及其所促進的投機動力的擔憂，而不是對狗狗幣本身的徹底反對。

Highlighting the United States' lag in cryptocurrency regulation, Garlinghouse described it as shockingly inadequate for the world's largest economy. “The United States is in the bottom decile of regulatory clarity,” he stated, suggesting that this uncertainty hampers the flow of institutional money into cryptocurrencies and clouds the potential growth of the industry.

加林豪斯強調了美國在加密貨幣監管方面的滯後，並稱其對世界最大經濟體來說嚴重不足。他表示：「美國在監管清晰度方面處於墊底。」他表示，這種不確定性阻礙了機構資金流入加密貨幣，並給該行業的潛在成長蒙上了陰影。

The Ripple CEO argued that the current environment, characterized by regulatory ambiguity, has inadvertently paved the way for the proliferation of meme-driven cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin. “When you get the real unlock of the United States economy and you get the real institutional money flowing in, it’s just hard to predict some of the upside opportunity,” Garlinghouse explained, indicating that clearer regulations could refocus investment toward more fundamentally sound projects.

Ripple 執行長認為，當前的環境以監管模糊為特徵，無意中為狗狗幣等迷因驅動的加密貨幣的擴散鋪平了道路。加林豪斯解釋說：「當美國經濟真正釋放，機構資金真正流入時，就很難預測一些上行機會。」他表示，更明確的監管可以將投資重新集中到基本面更健全的項目上。

Turning his attention specifically to Dogecoin, Garlinghouse expressed doubt about the cryptocurrency's value addition to the sector. “You know, I get a ton of s*** when I say these things, but I’m going to say it anyway. I don’t think Dogecoin has been a good thing for the industry. And I’m not anti-Dogecoin, but it’s like, I don’t know what the use case is,” he elaborated.

加林豪斯將注意力特別轉向狗狗幣，他對該加密貨幣對該行業的附加價值表示懷疑。 「你知道，當我說這些話時，我得到了很多廢話，但無論如何我還是要說。我不認為狗狗幣對這個行業來說是件好事。我並不反對狗狗幣，但我不知道它的用例是什麼，」他解釋道。

His critique revolves around the lack of substantive projects or utilities developing around Dogecoin, unlike other blockchain technologies, which are increasingly applied to real-world problems. Dogecoin was the first memecoin, the forerunner of today's memecoin craze.

他的批評圍繞著狗狗幣缺乏實質項目或實用程式開發，這與其他越來越多應用於現實世界問題的區塊鏈技術不同。狗狗幣是第一個迷因幣，​​也是當今迷因幣熱潮的先驅。

This is not the first instance of the Ripple CEO critiquing Dogecoin. Earlier in the year, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, he highlighted the lack of a clear use case for Dogecoin, largely attributing its popularity and market movements to endorsements by high-profile individuals like Elon Musk, rather than any technological or economic merit. “Other than Elon Musk as the central actor, I don’t see the use case and purpose,” he said.

這並不是 Ripple 執行長第一次批評狗狗幣。今年早些時候，在達沃斯世界經濟論壇上，他強調了狗狗幣缺乏明確的用例，主要將其受歡迎程度和市場趨勢歸因於馬斯克等知名人士的認可，而不是任何技術或經濟優點。 「除了伊隆馬斯克作為主角之外，我看不到它的用例和目的，」他說。

Garlinghouse's remarks come at a time when the crypto market is seeing a divergence in performance between traditional altcoins and meme coins. While Bitcoin has already surged above its previous high from 2021, altcoins such as XRP and Cardano are still down -85% from their peaks. Meanwhile, meme coins, including PEPE, Dogwifhat (WIF), and BONK, have captured substantial trader interest, delivering significant gains.

加林豪斯發表這番言論之際，加密貨幣市場傳統山寨幣和迷因幣之間的表現存在差異。儘管比特幣已經飆升至 2021 年以來的高點之上，但 XRP 和 Cardano 等山寨幣仍較高峰下跌 -85%。同時，包括 PEPE、Dogwifhat (WIF) 和 BONK 在內的 meme 代幣吸引了大量交易者的興趣，帶來了巨大的收益。

This trend underscores a broader market behavior leaning towards speculation over utility, a dynamic that Garlinghouse criticizes, advocating for a shift towards solving genuine problems. “We have to be about more than speculation […] I see lots of real utility across lots of different, you know, chains. And I think that is what is critical. And for me, the 10 -year prediction has to be about [this], it’s not about speculation, it’s about solving real problems,” he stressed.

這種趨勢凸顯了更廣泛的市場行為傾向於對效用的投機，加林豪斯批評了這種動態，主張轉向解決真正的問題。 「我們不能只是猜測……我在許多不同的連鎖店中看到了許多真正的實用性。我認為這才是關鍵。對我來說，10 年的預測必須是關於[這個]，這不是猜測，而是解決實際問題，」他強調。
