特朗普的商业伙伴戏弄未来的模因硬币计划：“我们是地球上最大的品牌”

简而言之

特朗普模因币的顶级持有者将通过新的“特朗普币俱乐部”获得福利，首先是世界杯决赛 VIP 之旅。

该俱乐部的组织者比尔·赞克表示，类似的独家活动将至少每季度举办一次。

尽管这枚硬币的价格下跌，但赞克认为，由于它与总统的联系，它仍然是独一无二的。

Weeks after hosting a splashy event at Mar-a-Lago, the organizers behind President Donald Trump’s meme coin are back with a long-term plan for the token’s top holders.

特朗普的长期助手比尔·赞克(Bill Zanker)自去年初推出以来一直是总统模因币运营的核心。从那时起，赞克为总统的表情包硬币持有者组织了两次聚会，两次聚会都有特朗普本人的参加。 Now, the entrepreneur is rolling out a permanent “Trump Coin Club”—which will seek to provide top holders with access to a recurring calendar of exclusive events.

“我们希望奖励我们最好的持有者，我们将来还会举办许多其他活动，”Zanker 告诉 Decrypt。 “我们想照顾他们。”

首届特朗普硬币俱乐部活动将于下个月在 FIFA 世界杯决赛中举行。 The top 19 holders of the president’s meme coin will be treated to a complimentary, three-day “luxury experience” culminating with a private suite viewing of the World Cup final match at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

“没有多少人能买到这些票，”赞克说。他补充说，国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺（Gianni Infantino）是总统的朋友，他没有参与确保三级套房的安全。

The World Cup experience will feature perks including accommodation at the St. Regis New York, a gala dinner, and VIP access to a night club—which has yet to be chosen, but will be “one of New York City's best,” Zanker said.尽管人们普遍预计特朗普将出席世界杯决赛，但总统不会在活动中会见他的迷因币持有者。

赞克说，与会者仍将接受特勤局的安全检查，可以想象，当天任何事情都可能发生。

“如果有惊喜，那就会有惊喜，”他说。

Prior private meetings between Trump and his meme coin holders have attracted criticism in Washington from lawmakers who argue the president should disclose who attends such events, and what happens during them. At April’s Mar-a-Lago meme coin gala, the president discussed topics including the Iran war with an audience featuring many foreign token holders, attendees said.

Zanker said the top 19 meme coin holders eligible to attend next month’s World Cup trip “can come from anywhere,” with the exclusion of OFAC-sanctioned countries like Iran and North Korea.他补充说，所有获奖者都将接受“了解你的客户”验证。

Following the World Cup event, Zanker said he plans to host similar gatherings “at least once a quarter” for top holders of Trump’s meme coin, which will also center around “big, international events.”

特朗普硬币俱乐部的最终目标是什么？当被问及这是否与 Meme 币的价格上涨有关时，Zanker 回避了这一问题，该币的价格自去年 1 月的峰值以来已经下跌了 97% 以上。 The token, which boasted a fully diluted valuation of nearly $75 billion on the eve of the president’s second inauguration, is now worth roughly $2 billion.

Zanker said, though, he wants “people staying with the coin”—a goal that could be reached by offering consistent access to luxury experiences.例如，在写作时，你找不到一张低于 8,000 美元的世界杯决赛门票。相比之下，投资 3,000 美元购买特朗普的表情包硬币就有可能让你参加四月份的海湖庄园活动。

Zanker, a longtime entrepreneur who previously ran the president’s branded NFT, shoe, and watch endeavors, said he’s confident Trump’s token will continue to stand apart from other crypto offerings in the long-term.

“我们不是动画片，”他说。 “我们是地球上最大的品牌。”

Though Zanker acknowledged that the token’s power comes from the endorsement of the world’s most powerful political leader, the entrepreneur pushed back on the notion that the president needs to become more personally involved with the project after he leaves office, as some top holders have hoped for.

“我们现在不考虑这个，”赞克说。 “他是美国总统。他很忙。”
