頂級加密投資者在特朗普的私人晚宴上感到短缺，而有些人擔心利益衝突

美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）於5月22日在他的北弗吉尼亞高爾夫俱樂部舉行的大肆宣傳的“獨家”加密餐廳正面臨激烈的批評

May 25, 2025 — US President Donald Trump's hyped-up “exclusive” crypto dinner at his Northern Virginia golf club on May 22 is drawing criticism from attendees and even some pro-Trump figures, who are complaining about the food and an abundance of Trump-branded wine.

2025年5月25日 - 美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在5月22日在北弗吉尼亞高爾夫俱樂部（Northern Virginia Golf Club）炒作的“獨家”加密餐廳（Crypto Dinner）在5月22日受到與會者甚至一些親特朗普人物的批評，他們在抱怨食物和豐富的特朗普品牌葡萄酒。

About 220 top crypto investors were invited to the dinner, with the top 25 receiving a private reception and the top four given $100,000 crypto-themed watches. While Trump described the evening as "good, very good" upon his return to the White House, attendees like 25-year-old Nicholas Pinto had a different take.

大約有220名頂級加密投資者被邀請參加晚宴，前25名獲得了私人招待會，前四名獲得了100,000美元的加密貨幣主題手錶。當特朗普返回白宮後，特朗普將當晚描述為“很好，非常好”，但像25歲的尼古拉斯·平托（Nicholas Pinto）這樣的與會者有不同的看法。

"The food sucked," Pinto told CNBC. "No drinks except water and Trump’s wine, and security was lax." He added that Trump didn’t mingle much—only greeting the top 25 and leaving soon after his brief speech to take a helicopter back.

“吃的食物很爛，” Pinto告訴CNBC。 “除了水和特朗普的葡萄酒之外，沒有飲料，安全性很寬鬆。”他補充說，特朗普沒有太多交流 - 只是向前25名打招呼，並在他的簡短講話後不久就離開了直升機。

Pinto also said that guests' phones weren't even secured in RFID pouches, and that most attendees were focused on the $TRUMP coin's price movements. As of May 23, the coin had dropped to $12.77 from its pre-dinner high of $16.

Pinto還說，客人的電話甚至都沒有用RFID袋，而且大多數與會者都專注於特朗普硬幣的價格變動。截至5月23日，硬幣已從餐前高點降至12.77美元。

The dinner has also sparked debate within the crypto industry, with pro-Trump figures like Nic Carter of Castle Island Ventures calling it "distasteful and an unnecessary distraction."

晚餐還引發了加密貨幣行業中的辯論，像Castle Island Ventures的Nic Carter這樣的人物稱其為“令人討厭和不必要的干擾”。

"We would much rather that he passes common sense legislation and leave it at that," Carter added in an interview with AP.

卡特在接受AP採訪時補充說：“我們寧願他通過常識立法並將其留下來。”

Moreover, concerns have been raised about Trump's financial interests eclipsing broader policy discussions. James Thurber, a corruption researcher at American University, told AP: "He’s becoming a salesman-in-chief. It allows for huge conflicts of interest."

此外，人們對特朗普的財務利益引起了人們的關注。美國大學的腐敗研究員詹姆斯·瑟伯（James Thurber）告訴美聯社：“他正在成為一名首席推銷員。這允許發生巨大的利益衝突。”

Connecticut Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal stated that the dinner "in effect, puts a 'for sale' sign on the White House," transforming it into a platform to auction off access.

康涅狄格州民主黨參議員理查德·布魯門塔爾（Richard Blumenthal）表示，晚餐“有效，在白宮上賣出了'出售'標誌，“將其轉變為拍賣的平台。

This isn't the first time Trump has pushed crypto-related policies. Since assuming office, he's signed executive orders supporting the industry and even convened a cryptocurrency summit at the White House in March. But as this dinner's backlash shows, even among his supporters, there are worries about the merging of his personal business ventures and national policy.

這不是特朗普第一次推動與加密相關的政策。自任職以來，他簽署了支持該行業的行政命令，甚至在三月份在白宮召開了加密貨幣峰會。但是，正如這場晚宴的反彈所表明的那樣，即使在他的支持者中，也擔心他的個人企業和國家政策的合併。
