买家花费了超过1.4亿美元来抢购$ trump Meme硬币，有机会与特朗普总统一起用餐

4月23日，该数字货币宣布其截至5月12日的前220名持有人将被邀请与总统共进晚餐。

People are buying up meme coins in a bid to get an invitation to an “intimate dinner” with President Trump, according to data analytics firm Inca Digital.

根据数据分析公司Inca Digital的说法，人们正在购买模因硬币，以便与特朗普总统一起邀请“亲密晚餐”。

As of May 12, the top 220 holders of the $TRUMP meme coin, which is partly owned by an affiliate of the Trump Organization, will be invited to the dinner, announced the digital currency on April 23.

截至5月12日，$特朗普模因硬币的前220名持有人将邀请特朗普组织的一部分由特朗普组织的分支机构拥有。

That helped push up the value of the meme coin by more than 40% from the announcement through May 12, partially reversing an 88% slump in the weeks prior.

这有助于将模因硬币的价值提高超过40％以上，从5月12日到5月12日，在前几周内部分扭转了88％的低迷。

The top holders of the $TRUMP meme coin paid anywhere from as little as $53,500 to as much as $16.4 million to snag one of the dinner invites with Mr. Trump, found Inca Digital's analysis of the digital currency's transactions.

$特朗普模因硬币的顶级持有人支付的费用低至53,500美元至1,640万美元，以与特朗普先生一起邀请晚宴，发现印加数字对数字货币的交易进行了分析。

The biggest holder of the digital currency at the contest's end was an account named Sun VIP, as of May 12, the analysis found.

分析发现，在比赛结尾处，数字货币的最大持有人是5月12日的一个名为Sun VIP的帐户。

It's impossible to know the identity of any of the account owners due to the anonymity of digital wallets, but many of the purchases were made through exchanges that don't accept U.S. customers, such as Bybit and Gate.io, noted Inca's research.

由于数字钱包的匿名性，不可能知道任何帐户所有者的身份，但是许多购买是通过不接受美国客户（例如Bybit和Gate.io）的交流进行的。

"A ton of these users sent funds to international exchanges," said Austin Ryan, director of marketing for Inca Digital, which analyzes crypto data for risk issues like liquidity and front-running. "The thought is that if they are interacting with those exchanges, they are not in the U.S."

Inca Digital的营销总监Austin Ryan说：“其中一大吨用户向国际交流汇款。” “想法是，如果他们与这些交流互动，他们就不在美国”

The dinner contest has raised concerns from government watchdogs and Democratic lawmakers about purchases of a Trump-branded asset being linked to access to the president. Also, because the $TRUMP coin is partly owned by an affiliate of the Trump Organization, the president's real estate organization, he and his family stand to benefit financially from purchases of the meme coin, critics add.

晚宴大赛引起了政府监管机构和民主党立法者的担忧，即购买与总统访问的特朗普品牌资产有关。同样，由于特朗普硬币是由特朗普组织（总统的房地产组织）的分支机构部分拥有的，因此他和他的家人将从购买模因硬币的购买中受益。

The @TRUMP meme coin site hasn't disclosed the identities of the 220 top holders, who under the promotion are in line to dine with Mr. Trump.

@Trump Meme Coin网站尚未透露220名顶级持有人的身份，后者在晋升下与特朗普先生一起用餐。

"I think it's concerning that the names of the 220 people who will be eating dinner with President Trump are shrouded by their anonymous crypto usernames," said Tony Carrk, the executive director of watchdog group Accountable.US.

WatchDog Group Carsingable.us的执行董事Tony Carrk说：“我认为这是关于将与特朗普总统一起吃晚餐的220人的名字被他们的匿名加密用户名所笼罩。”

The White House and the Trump Organization didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

白宫和特朗普组织没有立即回应置评请求。

The dinner will take place on May 22 at the Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C., according to the $TRUMP meme coin website. The top 25 holders will "will enjoy a Private VIP Reception with President TRUMP" as well as a "Special VIP TOUR," the site adds.

根据$特朗普模因硬币网站，晚餐将于5月22日在华盛顿特朗普国家高尔夫俱乐部举行。该网站补充说，前25名持有人将“将与特朗普总统一起享受私人VIP招待会”以及“特殊VIP之旅”。

Earlier this year, Eric Trump, one of Mr. Trump's sons, said the $TRUMP coin is "the hottest digital meme on earth."

今年早些时候，特朗普先生的儿子之一埃里克·特朗普（Eric Trump）说，特朗普硬币是“地球上最热门的数字模因”。

Decentralization is foundational to cryptocurrency. Bitcoin, the world's most popular crypto, was born in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis as a digital currency meant to be uncontrolled by banks or governments.

权力下放是加密货币的基础。比特币是世界上最受欢迎的加密货币，出生于2008年金融危机之后，是一种数字货币，旨在不受银行或政府的控制。

$TRUMP meme coins can be traded on a decentralized exchange, which is essentially a place where traders can swap goods without a middleman.

$特朗普的模因硬币可以通过分散的交易所进行交易，这实际上是交易者可以在没有中间商的情况下交换商品的地方。

Instead of matching buyers and sellers one by one, decentralized exchanges use something called a liquidity pool to ensure trades can happen easily and instantly. Liquidity pools are essentially an automated pot of funds that pair meme coins like $TRUMP with more popular types of crypto that can be easily traded.

分散的交易所没有将买卖双方一一匹配，而是使用所谓的流动性池来确保交易可以轻松，立即发生。流动性池本质上是自动化的资金库，将模因硬币与$ TRUMP这样的模因硬币与更受欢迎的加密货币搭配在一起，很容易被交易。

When the $TRUMP meme coin was first launched, its creators initially released 20% of the planned 1 billion total coins. Half of that 20% was put up for public sale while the other half was put into a liquidity pool. CIC Digital, an affiliate of the Trump Organization, and another company called Fight Fight Fight, receive "trading revenue derived from trading activities" of the Trump meme coins, according to its website.

当$特朗普的模因硬币首次推出时，其创作者最初释放了计划10亿枚硬币的20％。该20％的一半被放在公开销售中，而另一半被放入流动性池中。根据其网站，特朗普组织的分支机构CIC Digital和另一家名为“战斗战斗”的公司获得了特朗普模因硬币的“贸易收入”。

Through the liquidity pool, the creators of Mr. Trump's meme coins make money by charging transactional fees on each trade. Those fees are typically very small — usually a fraction of a percent of the trade amount.

通过流动性池，特朗普先生的模因硬币的创造者通过向每次交易收取交易费用来赚钱。这些费用通常很小 - 通常是贸易金额的一小部分。
