總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）今天為他同名命名為“特朗普”加密貨幣的前220名持有人舉辦了獨家晚宴

總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）今天為他名為“特朗普”加密貨幣的前220名持有人舉辦了獨家晚宴，這是一種有爭議的加密貨幣類，稱為“模因硬幣”。

President Donald Trump is today hosting an exclusive dinner for the first 220 holders of his eponymously named "TRUMP" cryptocurrency, a class of cryptocurrency known as a “meme coin.”

總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）今天正在為同名名為“特朗普”加密貨幣的前220名持有人舉辦獨家晚宴，這是一種被稱為“模因硬幣”的加密貨幣。

The dinner, which some may see as a cash-for-access opportunity, will be held at the Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C., in Northern Virginia. It is open to the first 220 people to hold any amount of the TRUMP cryptocurrency token.

有些人可能將其視為現金獲取機會的晚餐將在北弗吉尼亞州華盛頓特朗普國家高爾夫俱樂部舉行。首批220人開放，以持有特朗普的加密貨幣代幣。

Those on the cryptocurrency's telegram group were informed of the dinner in a message from an administrator on Thursday, who said: "Hello TRUMP Family, President Trump will be having dinner with the first 220 TRUMP holders at his golf club in Virginia on Thursday, October 20 at 7pm.

週四，一名管理員的一封信中，在加密貨幣的電報小組中獲悉了晚餐，他說：“特朗普家人，特朗普總統將於10月20日星期四晚上7點在弗吉尼亞州的高爾夫俱樂部與前220個特朗普持有人共進晚餐。

"If you are one of the first 220 TRUMP holders and would like to attend, please contact [email protected] by Monday, October 17 to RSVP. We will be in touch with further details."

“如果您是前220個特朗普持有人之一，並且想參加，請在10月17日星期一至RSVP之前與[電子郵件保護]聯繫。我們將與更多細節保持聯繫。”

The Trump Organization-affiliated entities hold 80 percent of the TRUMP cryptocurrency token, which launched in January 2025 and is currently valued at more than $3 billion.

特朗普組織附屬實體持有80％的特朗普加密貨幣代幣，該代幣於2025年1月推出，目前價值超過30億美元。

Analysts say Trump's ownership of this cryptocurrency creates a potential conflict of interest against his support of the cryptocurrency industry at large. It is also noteworthy for the fact that it is a meme coin.

分析人士說，特朗普對這種加密貨幣的所有權造成了潛在的利益衝突，以與他對整個加密貨幣行業的支持。值得注意的是，它是模因硬幣。

Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies that are bought and sold as tokens, in a manner similar to foreign currency exchange. Some of the most famous cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple.

加密貨幣是數字貨幣，以代幣的價格買賣，以類似於外幣兌換的方式。一些最著名的加密貨幣包括比特幣，以太坊和波紋。

Proponents say cryptocurrency can provide finance and exchange solutions to people who cannot access banking or offer a more equitable, private, and community-driven financial environment compared to traditional, centralized banking.

支持者說，與傳統的集中銀行業務相比，加密貨幣可以為無法獲得銀行業務或提供更公平，私人和社區驅動的財務環境的人們提供財務和交換解決方案。

The cryptocurrencies with the biggest market capitalizations, or buy-in, may become popular because of their potential use cases, such as Bitcoin, whose supporters believe it could become a new store of wealth or act as a hedge against inflation.

具有最大市值或買入的加密貨幣可能會因為其潛在用例而變得流行，例如比特幣，他們的支持者認為，它可以成為新的財富存儲或充當抵抗通貨膨脹的對沖。

With the right knowledge, anyone can create a cryptocurrency. It's up to the people who create them to decide the utility, security, and how it is sold.

有了正確的知識，任何人都可以創建加密貨幣。這取決於創建他們的人來決定公用事業，安全性以及如何出售。

However, the ease with which cryptocurrencies can be created presents other opportunities, some more nefarious than others.

但是，可以創建加密貨幣的便利性帶來了其他機會，有些比其他機會更具邪惡性。

Meme coins refer to a class of cryptocurrencies that may not have any real use case but typically generate word-of-mouth-driven investment based on the popularity of something else, such as a celebrity or an online trend or meme (hence the name).

模因硬幣是指可能沒有任何真實用例的一類加密貨幣，但通常會根據其他事物的普及（例如名人，在線趨勢或模因（因此名稱））產生口碑驅動的投資。

While many of the most successful ones were released in the early 2010s, their success picked up dramatically around 2021 as cryptocurrency hit mainstream attention.

儘管許多最成功的人在2010年代初發布，但由於加密貨幣引起了主流的關注，他們的成功在2021年左右急劇上升。

For example, DOGE, the namesake from which Elon Musk named the Department of Government Efficiency, is a cryptocurrency that was created as a joke, and is an emblem of a photo of a Shiba Inu hunting dog.

例如，Doge是埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）命名政府效率部的同名人物，它是一個開玩笑的加密貨幣，是shiba Inu獵狗照片的象徵。

Although it started as a joke, DOGE has since become one of the highest-valued cryptocurrencies in the world, which is driven in part by adoption and investment from Elon Musk. Despite its popularity, the project's utility has not advanced significantly.

儘管它是開玩笑的，但Doge此後已成為世界上價值最高的加密貨幣之一，這部分是由於Elon Musk的收養和投資所驅動的。儘管它很受歡迎，但該項目的效用並未顯著提高。

These types of cryptocurrencies are often created quickly to hop on the back of profitable trends. For example, DOGE's success led to a host of other successful meme coins with thematic similarities, such as Shiba Inu, Baby Doge Coin, and Floki (named after Elon Musk's dog).

這些類型的加密貨幣通常是迅速創建的，以跳到盈利趨勢的背後。例如，Doge的成功導致了許多其他成功的模因硬幣，具有主題相似之處，例如Shiba Inu，Baby Doge Coin和Floki（以Elon Musk's Dog的名字命名）。

Meme coins typically do not generate long-term value. Their prices usually spike based on word-of-mouth, then quickly plummet as interest dies down. This high-risk approach, which has nonetheless attracted millions of investors hoping to get rich quickly, has opened the door to scams that have cost billions of dollars.

模因硬幣通常不會產生長期價值。他們的價格通常基於口碑飆升，然後隨著興趣消失而迅速下降。儘管如此，這種高風險的方法仍然吸引了數百萬投資者，希望能迅速致富，這為騙局打開了大門。

The most common of these scams are known as “pump and dumps” where a cryptocurrency's creator holds onto most of their currency's supply, creates excitement and hype around its release and then, when enough investors have bought in, sells their share, sinking the value of the cryptocurrency.

這些騙局中最常見的一個被稱為“泵和垃圾場”，加密貨幣的創建者掌握了其貨幣的大部分供應，在其發行版中產生興奮和炒作，然後當有足夠的投資者購買，賣出他們的份額，銷售其份額，下沉了加密貨幣的價值。

While “pump and dumps” can be organized around traditional financial instruments like stocks and shares, poor meme coin regulation, anonymity, and trend-based popularity have empowered fraudsters.

雖然可以圍繞股票和股票等傳統金融工具，貧困硬幣法規，匿名和基於趨勢的流行來組織“泵和垃圾場”，但卻賦予了​​欺詐者的能力。

Professor Gerard Comizio, Associate Director and Professor of the Business Law Program at Washington College of Law, told Newsweek meme coins are viewed by critics as a “risky investment at best, and at worst, a new form of Ponzi scheme.”

華盛頓法學院副主任兼商業法計劃副主任兼教授Gerard Comizio教授告訴Newsweek Meme Coins批評家認為“充其量是一種風險投資，最糟糕的是，這是一種新的龐氏騙局”。

“The offering of the coin is preceded by a lot of initial interest and hype fueled by the A-lister or celebrity status and social media presence associated with the originator of the coin,” Comizio said.

Comizio說：“在與硬幣的發起人相關的A-lister或名人地位和社交媒體的存在上，硬幣的獻祭是有很多最初的興趣和炒作。”

“The hype can cause the coin to initially skyrocket in price as new investors respond to the hype and jump in to buy it, but this growth is usually not sustainable since the meme coin price depends on a continued pipeline of new investors.

“當新投資者對炒作做出反應並跳入購買時，炒作最初會導致硬幣的價格飆升，但是這種增長通常是不可持續的，因為模因硬幣價格取決於持續的新投資者的渠道。
