Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has come under fire following his recent comments about Dogecoin (DOGE). Garlinghouse had made these remarks during a back-and-forth conversation that he had with the meme coin’s co-founder on the X (formerly Twitter) platform. 

Ripple 執行長 Brad Garlinghouse 在最近對狗狗幣 (DOGE) 發表評論後受到了批評。加林豪斯是在 X（前身為 Twitter）平台上與 Meme 幣聯合創始人進行反覆交談時發表上述言論的。

Garlinghouse Compares Dogecoin To Zimbabwean Dollar

加林豪斯將狗狗幣與辛巴威元進行比較

Brad Garlinhouse compared DOGE to the Zimbabwean dollar as he suggested that the meme coin was more on a level with that currency rather than the Euro or even the Japanese Yen. The Ripple CEO’s comment came in response to Billy Markus’ (also known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto) now-deleted X post where he tried to defend DOGE’s utility. 

布拉德·加林豪斯 (Brad Garlinhouse) 將 DOGE 與津巴布​​韋元進行了比較，他認為這種模因幣更適合津巴布韋貨幣，而不是歐元甚至日元。 Ripple 執行長的評論是對 Billy Markus（又名 Shibetoshi Nakamoto）的 X 貼文的回應，該貼文現已被刪除，他在貼文中試圖捍衛 DOGE 的實用性。

Markus insinuated that the meme coin was similar to Bitcoin, stating that DOGE was “essentially” the same thing as BTC. He made a further analogy using the Euro and Yen, suggesting that there was no need to put down one token because another served a greater purpose. 

馬庫斯暗示這種迷因幣與比特幣類似，並表示 DOGE 與 BTC 「本質上」是一樣的東西。他用歐元和日元做了進一步的類比，表明沒有必要放下一種代幣，因為另一個代幣有更大的用途。

Following the ‘Zimbabwean Dollar’ remark, some members of the crypto community jumped to the defense of Dogecoin. One X user, in particular, told Garlinghouse to stay in his lane and not talk about other coins. Another user suggested that the Ripple CEO wasn’t meant to be making such comments, considering XRP’s stagnant price action, and went as far as calling him a “scammer.”

在「津巴布韋元」言論之後，加密社群的一些成員開始為狗狗幣辯護。特別是一位 X 用戶告訴加林豪斯不要談論其他代幣。另一位用戶表示，考慮到 XRP 價格走勢停滯不前，Ripple 執行長無意發表此類評論，甚至稱他為「騙子」。

In a now-deleted X post, Shibetoshi also called Garlinghouse “an idiot.” He went ahead to label the Ripple CEO “a retard” who was simply making up analogies to suit his narrative. In the earlier post where he compared DOGE to Bitcoin, Markus also didn’t hold back then, as he remarked that Garlinghouse was just trying to sound smart when he made his earlier comments.

在一篇現已刪除的 X 貼文中，Shibetoshi 還稱 Garlinghouse 為「白痴」。他繼續給 Ripple 執行長貼上「白痴」的標籤，認為他只是在編造類比來適應他的敘述。在先前將 DOGE 與比特幣進行比較的文章中，Markus 也毫不猶豫地表示，Garlinghouse 在發表先前的評論時只是想讓自己聽起來很聰明。

The Genesis

創世記

Markus’ initial outrage was sparked by Garlinghouse’s statements on the “Clear-Eyed about Crypto” panel at the World Economic Forum (WEF). During the panel discussion, The Ripple CEO shared his belief that tokens like Dogecoin had no real-life utility and that he didn’t really understand what value they provided. 

馬庫斯最初的憤怒是由加林豪斯在世界經濟論壇（WEF）「加密貨幣洞察」小組上的言論引發的。在小組討論中，Ripple 執行長分享了他的信念，即像狗狗幣這樣的代幣在現實生活中沒有實用性，而且他並不真正理解它們提供了什麼價值。

Garlinghouse also suggested that tokens like Doge were eventually going to fade away as he said that there would eventually be a separation of the “wheat from the chaff.” The Ripple CEO comparing Dogecoin to the Zimbabwean dollar once again highlighted the notion that he has on the meme coin. For context, the currency is one of the lowest-valued currencies in the world. 

加林豪斯還表示，像 Doge 這樣的代幣最終將會消失，因為他說最終將「麥子與穀殼」分開。 Ripple 執行長將狗狗幣與辛巴威元進行比較，再次強調了他對迷因幣的看法。就背景而言，該貨幣是世界上價值最低的貨幣之一。

It is unclear why Billy Markus deleted his posts. However, it is clear that Garlinghouse’s comments really upset him, as the Ripple CEO revealed that the Dogecoin co-founder had blocked him on the X platform. 

目前尚不清楚比利馬庫斯為何刪除他的貼文。然而，很明顯，Garlinghouse 的言論確實讓他感到不安，因為 Ripple 執行長透露，Dogecoin 聯合創始人已經在 X 平台上封鎖了他。
