The World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos last week saw a heated discussion on the cryptocurrency industry's need for precise regulation, leading to a dismissive view of meme coins, particularly Dogecoin (DOGE). Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse joined the chorus of skeptics, expressing doubt about the utility of Dogecoin and naming Elon Musk as the "central actor" in its market dynamics.

上週在達沃斯舉行的世界經濟論壇年會上，人們對加密貨幣行業需要進行精確監管進行了激烈的討論，導致人們對模因幣，尤其是狗狗幣（DOGE）持輕視態度。 Ripple Labs 執行長布拉德·加林豪斯(Brad Garlinghouse) 加入了懷疑論者的行列，對狗狗幣的實用性表示懷疑，並將埃隆·馬斯克(Elon Musk) 稱為其市場動態的「核心參與者」。

During the panel discussion titled "Clear-Eyed About Crypto," Garlinghouse voiced his skepticism, stating, "I don't get it," in reference to "unregulated cryptocurrencies." He further questioned the purpose of Dogecoin, emphasizing his inability to see its utility. Garlinghouse's remarks echoed the sentiments of the panel, which concluded that the industry requires more precise regulation.

在題為「對加密貨幣的清醒認識」的小組討論中，加林豪斯表達了他的懷疑態度，他在提到「不受監管的加密貨​​幣」時表示，「我不明白」。他進一步質疑狗狗幣的目的，並強調他看不見它的實用性。加林豪斯的言論呼應了該小組的觀點，該小組得出的結論是，該行業需要更精確的監管。

the super dumb thing about this is dogecoin is essentially the same thing as bitcoin with mildly different parameters and a dog mascot so this is like saying “i totally get the euro, but the yen is nonsense”just little brains pretending to be smart pic.twitter.com/bZi8S3ASCZ

最愚蠢的事情是，狗狗幣本質上與比特幣是一樣的，只是參數略有不同，還有一隻狗吉祥物，所以這就像在說“我完全明白歐元，但日元是胡說八道” ，只是小腦袋假裝聰明而已。twitter.com/bZi8S3ASCZ

Responding to Garlinghouse's comments, Dogecoin cofounder Billy Markus, also known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, took to X (formerly Twitter) to defend Dogecoin. Markus compared Dogecoin to Bitcoin (BTC), highlighting their fundamental similarities with minor variations. He went on to draw a humorous analogy, suggesting that it is akin to saying, "I totally get the euro, but the yen is nonsense."

針對加林豪斯的評論，狗狗幣聯合創始人比利·馬庫斯（Billy Markus，又名 Shibetoshi Nakamoto）在 X（前身為 Twitter）上為狗狗幣辯護。馬庫斯將狗狗幣與比特幣（BTC）進行了比較，強調了它們的基本相似之處和細微的差異。他接著打了一個幽默的比喻，暗示這就像在說：“我完全明白歐元，但日元是胡說八道。”

Dogecoin’s potential utility

狗狗幣的潛在效用

Notably, Dogecoin experienced a 14% surge in its price on Sunday. The surge followed the announcement of a specialized payment account represented by the username @Xpayments on X. The platform’s owner Elon Musk has shown commitment to this venture, which was evident through the acquisition of licenses for money operations in multiple U.S. states.

值得注意的是，狗狗幣週日的價格上漲了 14%。在X上宣布以用戶名@X payments為代表的專門支付帳戶後，這一數字激增。該平台的所有者 Elon Musk已經表現出了對這一合資企業的承諾，這一點透過在美國多個州獲得貨幣運營許可證就可以看出。

Reports suggest that X is gearing up to introduce peer-to-peer payments, with Musk hinting at potential public availability by mid-2024. This development adds an interesting dimension to the ongoing debate, as Dogecoin's price surge coincides with Elon Musk's active involvement in a project related to X payments.

有報導稱，X 正準備推出點對點支付，馬斯克暗示可能會在 2024 年中期推出。這項進展為正在進行的爭論增添了一個有趣的維度，因為狗狗幣的價格飆升恰逢伊隆馬斯克積極參與與 X 支付相關的項目。

Overall, the clash of opinions between Garlinghouse and Markus highlights the diversity of perspectives within the cryptocurrency community. As the industry continues to evolve, debates around the utility and regulation of different cryptocurrencies are likely to intensify, shaping the future landscape of the digital asset space.

總體而言，加林豪斯和馬庫斯之間的意見衝突凸顯了加密貨幣社群內觀點的多樣性。隨著產業的不斷發展，圍繞不同加密貨幣的實用性和監管的爭論可能會加劇，從而塑造數位資產領域的未來格局。
