世界币在厄瓜多尔将加密货币作为基本收入分配，引发数据隐私担忧

在厄瓜多尔，加密货币项目 Worldcoin 通过以 WLD 代币的形式向数千名居民分配普遍基本收入而获得了关注。

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.

加密货币项目 Worldcoin 通过以 WLD 代币的形式向数千名居民分配普遍基本收入，在厄瓜多尔获得了关注。这一进展发生之际，当地政府当局承认，由于资源限制，他们无法调查该公司是否遵守厄瓜多尔法律。

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.

数据保护主管 Fabrizio Peralta-Díaz 公开表达了他的机构在调查 Worldcoin 是否遵守国家法规方面面临的挑战。他的声明凸显了政府在快速发展的数字货币领域的监管存在巨大差距。

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.

厄瓜多尔的分发活动吸引了大量人群。在主要经济中心瓜亚基尔，数百人聚集在世界币设施中参与。这些设施配备了“Orbs”，这是一种旨在扫描个人虹膜的复杂设备。社交媒体报道和 Alfredo Velazco 等当地人的图片显示，穿着朴素的人们排着长队，等待用生物识别数据兑换加密货币。

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

据社交媒体账户显示，上周一有 300 多人聚集在瓜亚基尔的 Worldcoin 地点。

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.

许多人在那里收到了 13 个 WLD 代币，每个代币价值约为 1.96 美元，总计约为 30 美元。随着当地政府当局承认，由于资源限制，他们无法调查该公司是否遵守厄瓜多尔法律，因此出现了这一事态发展。

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.

许多人在那里收到了 13 个 WLD 代币，每个代币价值约为 1.96 美元，总计约为 30 美元。该汇率与 CoinMarketCap 上列出的当前估值一致。 Worldcoin 最初向新用户提供 60 种代币，目前价值约 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.

据媒体 Primicias 报道，一名 19 岁的年轻人表示：“作为用 Orb 机器扫描我的虹膜的交换，我获得了 13 个世界币，价值 29.59 美元，这些硬币被存入我为此目的创建的数字钱包中。” 。同一消息人士指出，第一批用户将收到 60 个代币，目前相当于约 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.

快速赚钱的诱惑说服了许多人，包括移民和当地贫困人口，参与其中。一些人迫于需要，认为这是一个获得小额经济救济的机会。然而，并非所有人都渴望交易他们的个人数据；一些人拒绝了，表示出于隐私方面的考虑，并且不愿意“出售”他们的信息以换取现金。

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.

在公众反应不一的情况下，对数据隐私的担忧与日俱增。正如佩拉尔塔-迪亚兹指出的那样，世界币的举措与数据保护主管办公室的职能直接交叉。

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.

他还指出，世界币的目标是利用这些收集到的数据来增强人工智能算法，该算法可以识别互联网上的真实人类。该组件给该项目增加了另一层争议，引发了公众对此类数据收集实践的道德影响的辩论。

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.

尽管主管持保留态度并且公众明显持怀疑态度，但资源的缺乏意味着对世界币运营的调查仍然停滞不前。这种情况对技术进步和隐私权之间的平衡提出了质疑，随着数字货币越来越融入日常生活，这一争论变得越来越重要。
