3 馬斯克也一直謹慎地支持狗狗幣，並計劃在他的「一切」應用程式中使用它進行支付。

One of the major highlights of 2023 was the purchase of popular social media company Twitter. Multibillionaire, and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX like companies, Elon Musk bought the microblogging platform. Recently Musk was reported to have a plan to create a blockchain-based social media and an “everything” app. He preferred Dogecoin (DOGE) for payment methods over the platform. 

2023 年的一大亮點是收購流行的社群媒體公司 Twitter。億萬富翁、特斯拉和 SpaceX 等公司的執行長 Elon Musk 買下了這個微博平台。最近據報道，馬斯克計劃創建一個基於區塊鏈的社交媒體和一個「一切」應用程式。他更喜歡狗狗幣（DOGE）作為平台上的支付方式。

Forbes reported that Musk set out on a mission to turn Twitter into the “everything app” called X last year. The Tesla CEO has shown interest in a significant “PayPal update” that has the potential to create turmoil in the prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

《富比士》報道稱，馬斯克去年開始了一項使命，將 Twitter 打造成名為 X 的「一切應用程式」。這位特斯拉執行長對一項重大的「PayPal 更新」表現出了興趣，該更新有可能引發比特幣和其他加密貨幣價格的動盪。

The upward momentum of Bitcoin’s price this year has slowed down in recent weeks. However, cryptocurrency traders are anticipating an eventful September. This decline in Bitcoin’s price has also had a downward impact on Dogecoin, which Elon Musk has referred to as his favorite Bitcoin alternative. 

今年比特幣價格的上漲勢頭在最近幾週有所放緩。然而，加密貨幣交易者預計九月將是多事之秋。比特幣價格的下跌也對狗狗幣產生了下行影響，馬斯克稱狗狗幣是他最喜歡的比特幣替代品。

Dogecoin, originally created as a meme-based fork of Bitcoin as a playful gesture, has seen its value affected by these market dynamics.

狗狗幣最初是作為比特幣基於迷因的分支而創建的，作為一種有趣的姿態，但它的價值已經受到這些市場動態的影響。

It has recently come to light that Musk has been discreetly providing financial support for the development of Dogecoin. This support has continued despite Dogecoin’s price plummeting by 90% from its all-time high, which coincided with the declines seen in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

最近有消息稱，馬斯克一直謹慎地為狗狗幣的開發提供資金支持。儘管狗狗幣的價格從歷史高點暴跌 90%（與比特幣和其他加密貨幣的下跌同時發生），但這種支持仍在繼續。

Before his acquisition of Twitter last year at a staggering $44 Billion, Musk contemplated the idea of establishing a fresh social media platform built on blockchain technology. 

在去年以驚人的 440 億美元收購 Twitter 之前，馬斯克曾考慮建立一個基於區塊鏈技術的全新社群媒體平台。

According to an excerpt from the new book titled “Elon Musk” by his biographer Walter Isaacson, this platform could have featured a payment system utilizing Dogecoin, the semi-humorous cryptocurrency for which he had been providing quiet financial support.

根據他的傳記作者沃爾特·艾薩克森（Walter Isaacson）題為《埃隆·馬斯克》（Elon Musk）的新書的摘錄，該平台可能具有利用狗狗幣（Dogecoin）的支付系統，這是一種半幽默的加密貨幣，他一直在默默地為其提供財務支持。

The exact extent of Musk’s financial support or investment in Dogecoin remains unclear. However, he has previously expressed his ambition to “upgrade” Dogecoin with the goal of surpassing Bitcoin and becoming the predominant currency worldwide.

馬斯克對狗狗幣的財務支持或投資的確切程度仍不清楚。不過，他先前曾表示要「升級」狗狗幣，目標是超越比特幣，成為全球主導貨幣。

今年 7 月，馬斯克曾表示自己持有比特幣、以太幣和狗狗幣等加密貨幣的個人投資，並謹慎地將狗狗幣 Ð 符號納入他的 X 帳戶。這項行動恰逢狗狗幣愛好者帳戶的大量參與。

Many observers in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency markets speculated that Musk’s intentions for X could potentially be a “game-changer” of significant proportions.

比特幣和加密貨幣市場的許多觀察家推測，馬斯克對 X 的意圖可能會在很大程度上「改變遊戲規則」。

Dogecoin had surged into the top ten cryptocurrencies in 2021, driven by meme culture and influencer-driven enthusiasm. However, it experienced a decline in 2022, along with the Bitcoin price and other prominent cryptocurrencies. 

在 meme 文化和影響者驅動的熱情的推動下，狗狗幣在 2021 年躋身十大加密貨幣之列。然而，它在 2022 年經歷了下跌，比特幣價格和其他主要加密貨幣的價格也隨之下跌。

Nevertheless, Dogecoin managed to retain a portion of its previous gains, resulting in a combined Dogecoin network valuation of approximately $9 Billion. 

儘管如此，狗狗幣仍成功保留了先前的部分收益，狗狗幣網路的綜合估值約為 90 億美元。

截至發稿時，DOGE 價格在上週上漲 1.6% 後，目前交易價格為 0.63 美元。
