Avalanche 基金会以通过赠款和投资支持 Avalanche 区块链生态系统的发展而闻名，该基金会打算收购 meme 币。

这一举措承认了加密货币市场中的多元化利基市场，受到近期 Bonk [BONK] 等代币激增的推动，本月早些时候，这极大地促进了 Solana [SOL] 网络上的活动。

The decision faced a significant backlash within the cryptocurrency community. Responding to concerns, Avalanche founder Emin Gün Sirer addressed the criticism in a tweet.

该决定在加密货币社区内遭到了强烈反对。为了回应担忧，Avalanche 创始人 Emin Gün Sirer 在一条推文中回应了这些批评。

The people trying to fade memecoins are the same kind of people who were fading pop music in the 60s, calling Banksy a vandal in the 80s, and shittalking rap in the 90s.

那些试图淡化模因币的人与那些在 60 年代淡化流行音乐、在 80 年代称班克斯为破坏者、在 90 年代说废话说唱的人是同一类人。

While Sirer initially had reservations about meme coins, he now recognizes their value as cultural expressions.

He emphasized that a coin doesn’t need a roadmap or complex promises to be legitimate; it can simply be owned for personal preference and social signaling.

Sirer cautioned about the volatility of meme coins, advising careful consideration due to their unpredictable nature in an already volatile market.

Sirer 对模因币的波动性提出了警告，并建议谨慎考虑，因为它们在已经波动的市场中具有不可预测的性质。

Drawing parallels with his past recommendation of Dogecoin in 2015 for its fun and experimental appeal, Sirer highlighted the importance of meme coins retaining their enjoyable and entertaining aspects to remain valuable.

Sirer 与他过去在 2015 年推荐的狗狗币（Dogecoin）的有趣性和实验性吸引力相似，强调了模因币保留其令人愉悦和娱乐性的方面以保持价值的重要性。
