特朗普在2024年選舉之前推出了兩次加密貨幣，$ trump和$ melania

2024年9月9日，聯邦調查局的刑事調查部報告說：“隨著全球金融體系中加密貨幣的使用繼續增長

The F.B.I.’s Criminal Investigative Division reported on Sept. 9, 2024, that “as the use of cryptocurrency in the global financial system continues to grow, so too does its use by criminal actors.” The exploitation of cryptocurrency, according to the F.B.I., “was most pervasive in investment scams, where losses accounted for almost 71 percent of all losses related to cryptocurrency.”

聯邦調查局的刑事調查司在2024年9月9日報導說：“隨著全球金融體系中加密貨幣的使用持續增長，犯罪行為者的使用也在增長。”聯邦調查局認為，對加密貨幣的剝削“在投資騙局中最普遍，損失佔與加密貨幣有關的所有損失的71％。”

Seven days later, Donald Trump declared on X: “Crypto is one of those things we have to do. Whether we like it or not, I have to do it.” In the same tweet, posted a month and a half before the election, Trump promoted his new venture World Liberty Financial Inc.

七天后，唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在X上宣布：“加密是我們必須做的事情之一。無論我們是否喜歡，我都必須這樣做。”在同一條推文中，特朗普在大選前一個半月發布了一個月，推廣了他的新風險世界自由金融公司。

Back in the White House, Trump has discovered that what he criticized as “not money” six years ago could now serve as an ideal way to profit from his presidency. Estimates of the value of Trump’s crypto assets vary widely, from $2.9 billion by Fortune to $6.2 billion by Forbes, although Forbes acknowledged the figure is “a dubious estimate given it’s based on supply not yet on the market.” And as Trump said, it’s not, strictly speaking, money.

回到白宮，特朗普發現，他六年前他批評的“非錢”現在可以成為從總統任期中獲利的理想方式。估計特朗普加密資產的價值差異很大，從福布斯的29億美元到福布斯的62億美元，儘管福布斯承認這一數字是“鑑於尚未基於供應尚未在市場上的供應，這是一個可疑的估計。”正如特朗普所說的那樣，嚴格來說，這不是錢。

Eswar Prasad, a professor of economics at Cornell and the author of “The Future of Money: How the Digital Revolution Is Transforming Currencies and Finance,” who has written extensively about digital currencies, contended in an email that:

康奈爾（Cornell）經濟學教授，《金錢的未來：數字革命如何改變貨幣和金融》的作者Eswar Prasad，他在一封電子郵件中辯論了有關數字貨幣的廣泛寫作：

It is quite remarkable for any government official, let alone the leader of the free world, to create and promote a vehicle for rampant speculation and to directly profit from it. Trump seems to show scarce restraint in his willingness to use the levers of power to enrich his family and close associates with little accountability or transparency.

對於任何政府官員，更不用說自由世界的領導者，創造和推廣一輛猖ramp的猜測並直接從中獲利的工具都是非常了不起的。特朗普似乎表現出稀缺的克制，他願意利用權力槓桿來豐富他的家人，並沒有責任感或透明度的親密夥伴。

Trump’s launch of two “meme coins,” $Trump and $Melania, Prasad continued, “take conflicts of interest to an altogether new level, especially given Trump’s official position and his control of the entire financial regulatory apparatus.”

普拉薩德（Prasad）推出了兩個“模因硬幣”，$ trump和$ melania，“將利益衝突置於一個新的水平上，尤其是考慮到特朗普的官方地位以及他對整個金融監管機構的控制權。”
