比利·馬庫斯(Billy Markus)，在社交媒體上被稱為Shibetoshi Nakamoto，於2013 年與傑克遜·帕爾默(Jackson Palmer) 合作，創造了標誌性的模因主題加密貨幣狗狗幣，作為對比特幣的模仿。從那時起，兩人都退出了該項目，並將其交給了狗狗幣基金會。

Over time, Markus has become a cryptocurrency influencer with a vast audience of more than 2 million on Twitter, and he often publishes memes or shares his take on major events in the political, financial spheres of life, and also in the cryptocurrency space.

隨著時間的推移，Markus 已成為加密貨幣影響者，在 Twitter 上擁有超過 200 萬粉絲，他經常發布表情包或分享他對政治、金融生活領域以及加密貨幣領域重大事件的看法。

As altcoins began falling following the two largest cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum, the Dogecoin co-founder tweeted: “Man crypto sure does suck.” Markus is known for his skepticism towards crypto trading, often likening it to gambling.

隨著山寨幣開始跟隨兩種最大的加密貨幣比特幣和以太坊下跌，狗狗幣聯合創始人在推特上寫道：“人類加密貨幣確實很糟糕。”馬庫斯因其對加密貨幣交易的懷疑而聞名，經常將其比作賭博。

Markus’s tweet came out right when the Bitcoin price collapsed overnight, caused by several major developments in the crypto space.

在馬庫斯的推文發布之際，比特幣價格因加密貨幣領域的幾項重大發展而一波暴跌。

Crypto market goes down following Bitcoin 10% crash

比特幣暴跌 10% 後加密貨幣市場下跌

Over the past 24 hours, the world’s primary cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has lost almost 10.3%, falling from the $64,600 zone to the $57,650 area, where it is changing hands at the time of writing this article.

在過去 24 小時內，全球主要加密貨幣比特幣下跌了近 10.3%，從 64,600 美元區域跌至 57,650 美元區域，在撰寫本文時比特幣正在易手。

Following Bitcoin, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization value, Ethereum, has plunged by more than 11%. It is trading at $2,874 after losing the $3,243 level on Tuesday.

繼比特幣之後，市值第二大加密貨幣以太幣暴跌超過11%。週二跌破 3,243 美元後，目前交易價格為 2,874 美元。

Dogecoin has fallen by nearly 15% as it plunged from $0.1458 to the $0.1242 level, where it is sitting now.

狗狗幣已下跌近 15%，從 0.1458 美元暴跌至目前的 0.1242 美元水準。

Among the major reasons for the plunge is believed to be the Binance founder CZ getting sentenced to four months in prison for violating the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and on charges of money laundering on Binance. Besides, the jobs report came out worse than expected, and the Bitcoin-Ethereum ETFs in Hong Kong failed to meet the expectations of traders as the former were expected to surpass the spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US on their first trading day.

據信，幣安創始人 CZ 因違反銀行保密法（BSA）和幣安洗錢罪被判處四個月監禁。此外，就業報告差於預期，香港比特幣以太坊ETF未能達到交易者的預期，預計香港比特幣以太坊ETF首個交易日將超越美國現貨比特幣ETF。

In reality, the Hong Kong ETFs managed to score $12.4 million in trading and $141 million in inflows into Bitcoin and partly into Ethereum. When the US spot ETFs launched, their figures surpassed those massively with $740 million in assets and $4.6 billion in trading volume.

事實上，香港 ETF 的交易額達到了 1,240 萬美元，比特幣和以太坊的資金流入達到了 1.41 億美元。當美國現貨 ETF 推出時，其資產規模和交易量分別為 7.4 億美元和 46 億美元，遠遠超過了其他市場。
