特朗普的加密晚宴比赛已经被投资者抛弃了他们的特朗普硬币

下周，加密货币投资者的小伙子将在华盛顿特区的高尔夫俱乐部与美国总统唐纳德·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.

下周将在华盛顿特区的高尔夫俱乐部与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普分享一场奢侈的晚餐。他们在晚宴上赢得了席位，购买了大量特朗普的个人加密硬币。

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，由于周一确认了他们的位置，无论是通过出售硬币还是将其转移到不同的钱包中，几乎一半已经摆脱了持股。

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.

特朗普硬币背后的团队宣布了4月23日的晚宴比赛，承诺将邀请前220名持有人与总统一起用餐。该网站解释说，与此同时，前25名将有资格获得双重独家旅行和掠夺者接待。

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.

组织者根据谁购买了最多的特朗普并在公告日期到5月12日之间最长的硬币选择了与会者。尽管一些获奖者已经公开认同自己（例如Sheldon Xia），例如Crypto Exchange Bitmart的创始人Sheldon Xia，大多数人的身份都隐藏在排行榜的用户名和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.

为了在晚宴上占有一席之地，投资者必须至少购买4,196枚特朗普硬币，目前价值约54,000美元。为了获得接待，贵宾平均拥有约325,000个特朗普硬币，当时价值约420万美元。

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.

截至周五，在220名参加者中，有100名实际上已经取消了整个特朗普的储藏，其中包括25个VIP中的17个。一个VIP在用户名Woo上，似乎在周三将其交付给了Crypto Exchange Binance的特朗普股东250万美元，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.

尽管与会者似乎渴望与特朗普一起观众，但由于竞争截止日期的截止日期似乎意味着总统硬币作为投资资产的长期潜力的信念低下。特朗普的代表没有立即回应置评请求。

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.

这种情绪似乎在复杂的加密投资者中广泛分享。截至周五，根据Blockchain Analytics Company Nansen的研究分析师NicolaiSøndergaard的分析，只有9个智能货币交易员在特朗普硬币上投入了九个智能货币交易者。

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.

晚餐首次宣布后，分析师对晚餐空间被确认后的价格潜在的低迷表示担忧，这是由于投资者的抛售造成的，他们的立即动机持有硬币蒸发。

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，即竞赛截止日期，组织者试图鼓励合格的参与者坚持自己的硬币，大概是为了避免抛售。组织者在X上宣布，任何与特朗普在比赛结束时举行的特朗普举行的与许多特朗普举行的参与者都将获得“非常特殊和罕见的” NFT的奖励。他们还取笑了一个“奖励积分计划”，其细节尚未透露。
