特朗普的加密晚宴比賽已經被投資者拋棄了他們的特朗普硬幣

下週，加密貨幣投資者的小伙子將在華盛頓特區的高爾夫俱樂部與美國總統唐納德·特朗普共享奢侈的晚宴。

A coterie of crypto investors will next week share an extravagant dinner with US president Donald Trump at his golf club in Washington, DC. They won their seats at the dinner by purchasing large amounts of Trump’s personal crypto coin.

下週將在華盛頓特區的高爾夫俱樂部與美國總統唐納德·特朗普分享一場奢侈的晚餐。他們在晚宴上贏得了席位，購買了大量特朗普的個人加密硬幣。

But since their places were confirmed on Monday, almost half have gotten rid of their holdings, whether by selling the coins or transferring them to different wallets, a WIRED analysis shows.

但是，由於週一確認了他們的位置，無論是通過出售硬幣還是將其轉移到不同的錢包中，幾乎一半已經擺脫了持股。

The team behind the TRUMP coin announced the dinner competition on April 23, promising to invite the top 220 holders to dine alongside the president. The top 25, meanwhile, would qualify for a doubly exclusive tour and predinner reception, the website explained.

特朗普硬幣背後的團隊宣布了4月23日的晚宴比賽，承諾將邀請前220名持有人與總統一起用餐。該網站解釋說，與此同時，前25名將有資格獲得雙重獨家旅行和掠奪者接待。

The organizers selected the attendees based on who had bought the most TRUMP and held their coins the longest between the announcement date and May 12. Although a few of the winners have identified themselves publicly—like Sheldon Xia, founder of crypto exchange BitMart—the identities of most are concealed behind leaderboard usernames and alphanumeric crypto wallet addresses.

組織者根據誰購買了最多的特朗普並在公告日期到5月12日之間最長的硬幣選擇了與會者。儘管一些獲獎者已經公開認同自己（例如Sheldon Xia），例如Crypto Exchange Bitmart的創始人Sheldon Xia，大多數人的身份都隱藏在排行榜的用戶名和Alphanumericericericerseric Crypto Wallet地址。

To claim a spot at the dinner, investors had to purchase at least 4,196 units of the TRUMP coin, which is currently worth about $54,000. To qualify for the reception, the VIPs held around 325,000 TRUMP coins on average, which at the time was worth roughly $4.2 million.

為了在晚宴上佔有一席之地，投資者必須至少購買4,196枚特朗普硬幣，目前價值約54,000美元。為了獲得接待，貴賓平均擁有約325,000個特朗普硬幣，當時價值約420萬美元。

As of Friday, 100 of the 220 attendees have done away with practically their entire TRUMP stash, including 17 of the 25 VIPs. One VIP, going by the username Woo, appears to have made a $2.5 million profit on their TRUMP holdings, which they delivered to crypto exchange Binance on Wednesday, presumably with the intention to sell.

截至週五，在220名參加者中，有100名實際上已經取消了整個特朗普的儲藏，其中包括25個VIP中的17個。一個VIP在用戶名Woo上，似乎在周三將其交付給了Crypto Exchange Binance的特朗普股東250萬美元，大概是出售的。

Although the attendees would appear to be eager for an audience with Trump, their trading activities since the competition deadline appear to imply a low conviction in the long-term potential of the president’s coin as an investment asset. Representatives for Trump did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

儘管與會者似乎渴望與特朗普一起觀眾，但由於競爭截止日期的截止日期似乎意味著總統硬幣作為投資資產的長期潛力的信念低下。特朗普的代表沒有立即回應置評請求。

That sentiment appears to be shared broadly among sophisticated crypto investors. As of Friday, only nine smart money traders—meaning those with a strong track record of profitability—are invested in the TRUMP coin, according to analysis by Nicolai Søndergaard, research analyst at blockchain analytics company Nansen.

這種情緒似乎在復雜的加密投資者中廣泛分享。截至週五，根據Blockchain Analytics Company Nansen的研究分析師NicolaiSøndergaard的分析，只有9個智能貨幣交易員在特朗普硬幣上投入了九個智能貨幣交易者。

After the dinner was first announced, analysts expressed concerns about a potential slump in the price after the spaces at the dinner had been confirmed, caused by a sell-off among investors whose immediate incentive to hold the coin had evaporated.

晚餐首次宣布後，分析師對晚餐空間被確認後的價格潛在的低迷表示擔憂，這是由於投資者的拋售造成的，他們的立即動機持有硬幣蒸發。

On May 12, the day of the competition deadline, the organizers tried to encourage the qualifying attendees to hold onto their coins, presumably in a bid to avoid a sell-off. Any attendees who arrived at the dinner with as many units of TRUMP as they held at the end of the competition, the organizers announced on X, would be rewarded with a “very special and rare” NFT. They also teased a “rewards points program,” the details of which have not yet been revealed.

5月12日，即競賽截止日期，組織者試圖鼓勵合格的參與者堅持自己的硬幣，大概是為了避免拋售。組織者在X上宣布，任何與特朗普在比賽結束時舉行的特朗普舉行的與許多特朗普舉行的參與者都將獲得“非常特殊和罕見的” NFT的獎勵。他們還取笑了一個“獎勵積分計劃”，其細節尚未透露。
