Vitalik Buterin 收養侏儒河馬 Moo Deng，並向泰國動物園捐贈 30 萬美元

這位以太坊聯合創始人表示，這些捐款是在 11 月年度以太坊開發者大會期間「泰國的盛情款待」的支持下獲得的。

Crypto prices may be stalled andịpally rendering them unable to purchase a new bicycle for Christmas, but some with money are trying to spread the goodwill around.

加密貨幣價格可能會停滯不前，導致他們無法在聖誕節購買新自行車，但一些有錢人正試圖傳播善意。

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said he'd accepted an invitation to be the “adoptive father” of pygmy hippo Moo Deng when she grows up. He is also donating 10 million Thai baht ($300,000) to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo near Bangkok where the five-month-old lives, he said in a Thursday (Dec 22) posting on X.

以太坊聯合創始人 Vitalik Buterin 表示，他已接受邀請，在侏儒河馬 Moo Deng 長大後成為她的「養父」。他週四（12 月 22 日）在 X 上發文稱，他還將向曼谷附近的 Khao Kheow 開放動物園捐贈 1000 萬泰銖（約 30 萬美元），這個 5 個月大的孩子就住在那裡。

The donations, made in Moo Deng’s name, will be used to upgrade general zoo operations and create a dedicated pygmy hippo habitat within the premises.

這些捐款以 Moo Deng 的名義進行，將用於升級動物園的整體運營，並在園內建立專門的侏儒河馬棲息地。

Buterin said the donations came on the back of the “wonderful hospitality of Thailand” during November's annual Ethereum developer conference, and were a “gesture of friendship and respect” to all of the country.

Buterin 表示，這些捐款是在 11 月年度以太坊開發者大會期間「泰國的盛情款待」的支持下進行的，是對全國人民的「友誼和尊重的姿態」。

“What better way to do that than through a Christmas present to someone who is dear to all Thai people, Moo Deng, and who has become one of the most unexpected and important Thai celebrities on the world stage," Buterin said in a letter to the zoo.

布特林在致泰國民眾的一封信中表示：「還有什麼比向所有泰國人民都喜愛的穆登（Moo Deng）送一份聖誕禮物更好的方式呢？穆登已經成為世界舞台上最出人意料、最重要的泰國名人之一。

Thanks for the warm welcome to the family and your work for wild animals!

感謝家人的熱烈歡迎以及您為野生動物所做的工作！

I'm happy to be adoptive father to Moo Deng as she grows up over the next 2y and support her with my 10M THB donation, maybe more as I set aside 88 ETH for🦛+ frens. May they live long and prosper🖖🏻 pic.twitter.com/l24vPybhTi

我很高興能在 Moo Deng 未來 2 年的成長過程中成為她的養父，並透過我的 1000 萬泰銖捐款支持她，也許更多，因為我為🦛+ 朋友們預留了 88 泰銖。願他們長壽、繁榮🖖🏻 pic.twitter.com/l24vPybhTi

Moo Deng, or bouncy pork in Thai, became a popular internet meme earlier this year after images of her went viral online. She has two siblings, brother Moo Toon (stewed pork) and sister Moo Waan (sweet pork).

今年早些時候，Moo Deng（泰語中的「彈跳豬肉」）的照片在網路上瘋傳，成為網路流行基因。她有兩個兄弟姊妹，弟弟Moo Toon（燉豬肉）和妹妹Moo Waan（甜豬肉）。

A memecoin she inspired, MOODENG on Solana, went similarly viral and hit a market capitalization of above $600 million in November after bagging listings on influential exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase.

她啟發的迷因幣 MOODENG on Solana 也同樣火爆，在幣安和 Coinbase 等有影響力的交易所上市後，11 月市值突破 6 億美元。

MOODENG was the first token themed on an animal other than a dog or cat to garner massive trading volumes and is considered by some to be the first Thai memecoin.

MOODENG 是第一個以狗或貓以外的動物為主題的代幣，獲得了大量交易量，並被一些人認為是第一個泰國迷因幣。

Token prices are down 60% from peak, however, as much of Moo Deng’s popularity remains focused within Thailand and neighboring markets.

然而，由於 Moo Deng 的受歡迎程度仍集中在泰國和鄰近市場，代幣價格較高峰下跌了 60%。
