Peter Schiff's 'Sarcastic' Post Spurs Birth Of Supposed Bitcoin Alternative USAcoin With Millions In Marketcap, Economist Warns 'Don't Buy It'
Reacting to the new coin, Schiff clarified that he doesn't endorse it. "My post was sarcastic—don't buy it," the staunch Bitcoin critic said. However, he stood by the idea behind proposing such a cryptocurrency.A cheeky remark by influential economist Peter Schiff spawned a new cryptocurrency on Sunday that already has millions added to its capitalization.
有影響力的經濟學家彼得·希夫的調皮言論促成了一個新的數字貨幣的誕生，該貨幣在週日已經增加了數百萬的市值。
What happened: The creators of the cryptocurrency USAcoin (USACOIN) were inspired by Schiff, who advised the U.S. government to consider the possibility of a strategic USAcoin reserve rather than a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) reserve.
發生了什麼：數字貨幣USAcoin（USACOIN）的創建者受到希夫的啓發，他建議美國政府考慮建立戰略USAcoin儲備的可能性，而不是比特幣（CRYPTO: BTC）儲備。
As of this writing, the coin has a market valuation of roughly $2.80 million, with over $7 million in trading volume in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap.
根據CoinMarketCap的數據，截至目前，該幣的市場估值大約爲280萬，過去24小時的成交量超過700萬。
Reacting to the new coin, Schiff clarified that he doesn't endorse it. "My post was sarcastic—don't buy it," the staunch Bitcoin critic said. However, he stood by the idea behind proposing such a cryptocurrency.
對於這枚新幣，希夫澄清說他並不支持它。「我的發帖是諷刺—不要買入，」這位堅定的比特幣批評者說。然而，他支持提出這樣一種數字貨幣的構思。
Someone actually created a #USAcoin. My post was sarcastic—don't buy it. However, my point was that if the U.S. government created such a token and committed to building a strategic USAcoin reserve, it would make more sense than stockpiling #Bitcoin. That part wasn't a joke.

有人真的創建了#USAcoin。我的發帖是諷刺—不要買入。然而，我的意思是，如果美國政府創造這樣一種代幣，並承諾建立戰略USAcoin儲備，那比囤積#比特幣更有意義。那部分不是開玩笑。

On Saturday, Schiff mooted the idea of a new government-backed cryptocurrency with a supply limit of 21 million, similar to Bitcoin, but one that has value and can be utilized for payments.
週六，希夫提出了一個新政府支持的數字貨幣的想法，該貨幣的供應上限爲2100萬，類似於比特幣，但它具有價值並可以用於支付。
No prizes for guessing the new USAcoin also shows a supply cap of 21 million but was yet to be validated.
新的USAcoin同樣顯示出2100萬的供應上限，但尚未得到驗證。
Instead of creating a #Bitcoin strategic reserve, the U.S. could save a lot of money by creating #USAcoin. Just like Bitcoin, the supply can be capped at 21 million, but with an upgraded blockchain to make USAcoin actually viable for use in payments. This way we can all get rich.

與其建立一個#比特幣戰略儲備，美國不如通過創建#USAcoin節省很多錢。就像比特幣一樣，供應量可以限制在2100萬，但是有一個升級的Blockchain使USAcoin實際上可以用於支付。這樣我們所有人都可以變得富有。
