世界幣在厄瓜多爾將加密貨幣作為基本收入分配，引發數據隱私擔憂

在厄瓜多爾，加密貨幣項目 Worldcoin 透過以 WLD 代幣的形式向數千名居民分配普遍基本收入而獲得了關注。

The cryptocurrency project Worldcoin has gained traction in Ecuador by distributing a universal basic income in the form of WLD tokens to thousands of its residents. This development comes as local government authorities admit their incapacity to probe the company’s compliance with Ecuadorian law due to resource constraints.

加密貨幣項目 Worldcoin 透過以 WLD 代幣的形式向數千名居民分配普遍基本收入，在厄瓜多爾獲得了關注。這項進展發生之際，當地政府當局承認，由於資源限制，他們無法調查該公司是否遵守厄瓜多爾法律。

Fabrizio Peralta-Díaz, the Superintendent of Data Protection, has openly expressed the challenge faced by his agency in investigating whether Worldcoin adheres to national regulations. His statement highlights a significant gap in governmental oversight in the rapidly evolving digital currency domain.

資料保護主管 Fabrizio Peralta-Díaz 公開表達了他的機構在調查 Worldcoin 是否遵守國家法規方面面臨的挑戰。他的聲明凸顯了政府在快速發展的數位貨幣領域的監管存在巨大差距。

The distribution events in Ecuador have attracted large crowds. In Guayaquil, a key economic hub, hundreds have gathered at Worldcoin facilities to participate. These facilities feature ‘Orbs’, sophisticated devices designed to scan the iris of individuals. Social media reports and images from locals like Alfredo Velazco show lines of modestly dressed individuals waiting to exchange their biometric data for cryptocurrency.

厄瓜多爾的分發活動吸引了大量人群。在主要經濟中心瓜亞基爾，數百人聚集在世界幣設施中參與。這些設施配備了“Orbs”，這是一種旨在掃描個人虹膜的複雜設備。社交媒體報導和阿爾弗雷多·貝拉斯科（Alfredo Velazco）等當地人的圖片顯示，穿著樸素的人們排著長隊，等待將生物識別數據兌換成加密貨幣。

According to social media accounts, more than 300 people convened at a Worldcoin location in Guayaquil last Monday.

據社群媒體帳號顯示，上週一有 300 多人聚集在瓜亞基爾的 Worldcoin 地點。

Many were there to receive 13 WLD tokens, valued at approximately $1.96 each, summing up to around $30. This development unfolds as local government authorities admit their incapacity to probe the company’s compliance with Ecuadorian law due to resource constraints.

許多人在那裡收到了 13 個 WLD 代幣，每個代幣價值約為 1.96 美元，總計約 30 美元。隨著當地政府當局承認，由於資源限制，他們無法調查該公司是否遵守厄瓜多法律，因此出現了這一事態發展。

Many were there to receive 13 WLD tokens, valued at approximately $1.96 each, summing up to around $30. This exchange rate aligns with the current valuation listed on CoinMarketCap. Worldcoin initially offers 60 tokens to new users, which currently equates to about $117.

許多人在那裡收到了 13 個 WLD 代幣，每個代幣價值約為 1.96 美元，總計約 30 美元。該匯率與 CoinMarketCap 上列出的當前估值一致。 Worldcoin 最初向新用戶提供 60 種代幣，目前價值約 117 美元。

“In exchange for scanning my iris with an Orb machine, I was given 13 Worldcoin coins worth USD 29.59, which were credited to a digital wallet I created for this purpose,” said a 19-year-old, according to the media outlet Primicias. The same source pointed out that the first users receive 60 tokens, equivalent at this time to about USD 117.

根據媒體Primicias 報道，一名19 歲的年輕人表示：「作為用Orb 機器掃描我的虹膜的交換，我獲得了13 個世界幣，價值29.59 美元，這些硬幣被存入我為此目的創建的數字錢包中。同一消息人士指出，第一批用戶將收到 60 個代幣，目前相當於約 117 美元。

The allure of quick money has persuaded many, including migrants and local impoverished populations, to participate. Some, driven by necessity, see this as an opportunity for minor financial relief. However, not all are eager to trade their personal data; a few have declined, stating privacy concerns and unwillingness to “sell” their information for cash.

快速賺錢的誘惑說服了許多人，包括移民和當地貧困人口，參與其中。有些人迫於需要，認為這是獲得小額經濟救濟的機會。然而，並非所有人都渴望交易他們的個人資料；有些人拒絕了，表示出於隱私方面的考慮，並且不願意「出售」他們的資訊以換取現金。

Amidst the mixed reactions from the public, the concern over data privacy grows. Worldcoin’s initiative intersects directly with the functions of the Data Protection Superintendent’s office, as Peralta-Díaz pointed out.

在公眾反應不一的情況下，對資料隱私的擔憂與日俱增。正如佩拉爾塔-迪亞茲指出的那樣，世界幣的舉措與資料保護主管辦公室的職能直接交叉。

He also noted that Worldcoin aims to use this collected data to enhance an artificial intelligence algorithm that could identify real humans on the internet. This component adds another layer of controversy to the project, stirring public debate about the ethical implications of such data collection practices.

他還指出，世界幣的目標是利用這些收集到的數據來增強人工智慧演算法，該演算法可以識別網路上的真實人類。該組件為該項目增加了另一層爭議，引發了公眾對此類數據收集實踐的道德影響的辯論。

Despite the superintendent’s reservations and the palpable public skepticism, the lack of resources means that the investigation into Worldcoin’s operations remains stalled. This situation poses questions about the balance between technological advancement and privacy rights, a debate that is becoming increasingly relevant as digital currencies become more integrated into daily life.

儘管主管持保留態度並且公眾明顯持懷疑態度，但資源的缺乏意味著對世界幣運營的調查仍然停滯不前。這種情況對技術進步和隱私權之間的平衡提出了質疑，隨著數位貨幣越來越融入日常生活，這場爭論變得越來越重要。
