Billy Markus, who back in 2013 launched the popular meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin together with Jackson Palmer, is now an active user of the X social media platform (which used to be known as Twitter) and has become an influencer for his 2.1 million followers.

比利·马库斯 (Billy Markus) 早在 2013 年就与杰克逊·帕尔默 (Jackson Palmer) 一起推出了流行的模因加密货币狗狗币 (Dogecoin)，现在是 X 社交媒体平台（以前称为 Twitter）的活跃用户，并已成为其 210 万粉丝的影响者。

Markus offers comments on various topics, from crypto to politics. In today’s tweet, he shared his take on the new video advert of Coinbase published on YouTube. He also dropped an opinion, perhaps unexpected for some crypto community members, about crypto failing to live up to the goal that was set for it.

马库斯提供了从加密货币到政治等各种主题的评论。在今天的推文中，他分享了他对 YouTube 上发布的 Coinbase 新视频广告的看法。他还提出了一个观点，即加密货币未能实现为其设定的目标，这对于一些加密货币社区成员来说可能是出乎意料的。

Markus called the new Coinbase advert “Break the Cycle” “interesting,” adding that this video explains why many people are choosing crypto, especially recently. He says: “The system is failing for them and they look for alternatives.”

马库斯称 Coinbase 的新广告“打破循环”“很有趣”，并补充说该视频解释了为什么许多人选择加密货币，尤其是最近。他说：“这个系统对他们来说已经失败了，他们正在寻找替代方案。”

Markus added that this advert depicts the anti-crypto senator Elizabeth Warren and politicians like her who are also trying to crash crypto from changing the U.S. and the global financial system as “the enemies of the people.”

马库斯补充说，这则广告将反加密货币参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦和像她这样的政客描绘成“人民的敌人”，他们也试图阻止加密货币改变美国和全球金融体系。

Crypto failed to live up to goal set for it, Markus believes

马库斯认为，加密货币未能实现为其设定的目标

Billy Markus also shared his take on why crypto was created in the first place and whether it has succeeded in reaching that goal. He reminded the community that crypto was first made (implying Bitcoin) as a “direct response to the financial crisis of 2007 and all the corruption that led up to it.”

比利·马库斯还分享了他对加密货币最初创建的原因以及它是否成功实现了这一目标的看法。他提醒社区，加密货币（指比特币）最初诞生是为了“对 2007 年金融危机以及由此引发的所有腐败行为的直接反应”。

it’s also why crypto was made in the first place - a direct response to the financial crisis of 2007 and all the corruption that lead up to it whether it has lived up to its promise is up for debate (not really imo), but it’s not like our system is serving its citizens well…

这也是加密货币最初诞生的原因——对 2007 年金融危机以及导致危机的所有腐败的直接反应，它是否兑现了其承诺还有待争论（在我看来，这并不是真的），但事实并非如此就像我们的系统正在为其公民提供良好的服务......

However, Markus reckons that neither Bitcoin nor crypto in general has managed to “live up to its promise,” although he admitted that it is “up for debate.”

然而，马库斯认为，比特币和加密货币总体上都未能“兑现其承诺”，尽管他承认这“还有待争论”。
