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 首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯 (Brad Garlinghouse) 最近对狗狗币 (DOGE) 发表评论后受到了批评。加林豪斯是在 X（前身为 Twitter）平台上与 Meme 币联合创始人进行反复交谈时发表上述言论的。

Garlinghouse Compares Dogecoin To Zimbabwean Dollar

加林豪斯将狗狗币与津巴布韦元进行比较

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) 将 DOGE 与津巴布韦元进行了比较，他认为这种模因币更适合津巴布韦货币，而不是欧元甚至日元。 Ripple 首席执行官的评论是对 Billy Markus（又名 Shibetoshi Nakamoto）的 X 帖子的回应，该帖子现已被删除，他在帖子中试图捍卫 DOGE 的实用性。

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. 

马库斯暗示这种模因币与比特币类似，并表示 DOGE 与 BTC “本质上”是一样的东西。他用欧元和日元做了进一步的类比，表明没有必要放下一种代币，因为另一种代币有更大的用途。

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“津巴布韦元”言论之后，加密社区的一些成员开始为狗狗币辩护。特别是一位 X 用户告诉加林豪斯不要谈论其他代币。另一位用户表示，考虑到 XRP 价格走势停滞不前，Ripple 首席执行官无意发表此类评论，甚至称他为“骗子”。

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.

在一篇现已删除的 X 帖子中，Shibetoshi 还称 Garlinghouse 为“白痴”。他继续给 Ripple 首席执行官贴上“白痴”的标签，认为他只是在编造类比来适应他的叙述。在之前将 DOGE 与比特币进行比较的文章中，Markus 也毫不犹豫地表示，Garlinghouse 在发表之前的评论时只是想让自己听起来很聪明。

The Genesis

创世记

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. 

马库斯最初的愤怒是由加林豪斯在世界经济论坛（WEF）“加密货币洞察”小组上的言论引发的。在小组讨论中，Ripple 首席执行官分享了他的信念，即像狗狗币这样的代币在现实生活中没有实用性，而且他并不真正理解它们提供了什么价值。

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. 

加林豪斯还表示，像 Doge 这样的代币最终将会消失，因为他说最终将“麦子与谷壳”分离。 Ripple 首席执行官将狗狗币与津巴布韦元进行比较，再次强调了他对模因币的看法。就背景而言，该货币是世界上价值最低的货币之一。

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·马库斯为何删除他的帖子。然而，很明显，Garlinghouse 的言论确实让他感到不安，因为 Ripple 首席执行官透露，Dogecoin 联合创始人已经在 X 平台上屏蔽了他。
