Memecoin 又回到聚光燈下了嗎？

即將上映的 HBO 紀錄片引發了一場狂熱，該紀錄片以人們長期以來猜測的比特幣 (BTC) 創造者中本聰的身份為​​中心

A highly anticipated HBO documentary is set to reveal the long-debated identity of Bitcoin (BTC) creator Satoshi Nakamoto, sparking a frenzy in the cryptocurrency space, especially in the creation of new memecoins.

一部備受期待的 HBO 紀錄片將揭露比特幣 (BTC) 創造者中本聰 (Satoshi Nakamoto) 的長期爭議身份，引發加密貨幣領域的狂熱，尤其是在新模因幣的創造方面。

According to a Bloomberg report, these tokens are being launched to capitalize on the renewed interest in Nakamoto’s true identity. Among the names being discussed is Len Sassaman, a cryptographer who passed away in 2011. Many believe he could be revealed as Nakamoto in the documentary, titled Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery, which is expected to be released this week.

根據彭博社報道，這些代幣的推出是為了利用人們對中本聰真實身分重新產生的興趣。其中一個正在討論的名字是Len Sassaman，他是一位密碼學家，於2011 年去世。紀錄片中被揭露為中本聰。

Latest data from blockchain-based betting platform Polymarket shows Sassaman is the leading candidate, but the implied probability of him being Nakamoto has recently dropped to 21%, down from a high of 68% on Oct. 3.

基於區塊鏈的博彩平台 Polymarket 的最新數據顯示，Sassaman 是領先候選人，但他是中本聰的隱含機率最近已降至 21%，低於 10 月 3 日的 68% 高位。

Memecoins have seen a surge in popularity and new creations over the past year, in what has been dubbed the “memecoin mania,” as investors look to make quick gains compared to established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

在過去的一年裡，模因幣的受歡迎程度和新創造量激增，被稱為“模因幣狂熱”，因為投資者希望與比特幣或以太坊等成熟的加密貨幣相比能夠快速獲得利。

Over the past year, the growth of these tokens has been substantial, especially as blockchains like Solana (SOL) have made it easier and cheaper to create and trade them.Commenting on the phenomenon, Ben Yorke, vice president of ecosystem at crypto exchange WOO X, said:

在過去的一年裡，這些代幣的成長非常可觀，特別是像Solana (SOL) 這樣的區塊鏈使創建和交易它們變得更容易、更便宜。 Yorke 評論了這現象X 說：

“Memecoins are acting like decentralized prediction markets, with many variations of a single theme popping up around emerging topics.”

“Memecoin 的行為就像去中心化的預測市場，圍繞新興主題出現了單一主題的許多變體。”

However, Yorke warned that this environment creates a “negative-sum” situation where insiders and influencers profit while everyday investors find it difficult to identify genuine trends and tokens.

然而，約克警告說，這種環境造成了一種「負和」的情況，內部人士和影響者獲利，而普通投資者發現很難識別真正的趨勢和代幣。

Bitcoin mystery deepens

比特幣之謎加深

Adding to the intrigue, Meredith Patterson, Sassaman’s widow, has previously refuted claims that her late husband was the creator of Bitcoin. Nonetheless, the attention on Sassaman has led Patterson to engage with the memecoin trend.

薩薩曼的遺孀梅雷迪思·帕特森(Meredith Patterson)此前駁斥了有關她已故丈夫是比特幣創造者的說法，這更增添了陰謀。儘管如此，對薩薩曼的關注促使帕特森參與了模因幣趨勢。

On Oct. 5, Patterson shared on social media platform X that she received memecoins dedicated to her cat, saying:

10 月 5 日，帕特森在社交媒體平台 X 上分享了她收到獻給她的貓的迷因幣的消息，並說：

“Right, so, me not knowing really anything about the world of memecoins, I apparently sent a few DMers a Coinbase address. But if people are insisting on sending me memecoins about my cat, I’m not gonna say no.”

「是的，所以，我對迷因幣的世界一無所知，顯然我給一些 DMers 發送了一個 Coinbase 地址。但如果人們堅持要給我寄關於我的貓的模因幣，我不會拒絕。

Over the years, there have been several attempts to uncover Nakamoto’s identity, including a disputed Newsweek article that inaccurately outed Dorian Nakamoto, a Japanese-American engineer, as the creator. Dorian has repeatedly denied any involvement with Bitcoin.

多年來，人們多次試圖揭開中本聰的身份，其中包括一篇有爭議的《新聞周刊》文章，該文章錯誤地將日裔美國工程師多里安·中本聰(Dorian Nakamoto) 列為創始人。多里安一再否認與比特幣有任何關係。

It remains to be seen what further details the upcoming documentary will reveal in this regard, which could see the true identity behind Satoshi Nakamoto finally being unveiled later this week after years of speculation.

即將上映的紀錄片將在這方面透露哪些進一步細節還有待觀察，經過多年的猜測，中本聰背後的真實身份最終可能會在本週晚些時候揭曉。

At the time of writing, the largest cryptocurrency in the market has managed to reclaim the $63,740 level after briefly dipping below the $60,000 mark at the end of last week.

截至撰寫本文時，市場上最大的加密貨幣在上週末短暫跌破 6 萬美元大關後，已成功收復 63,740 美元的水平。
