和之前的比特幣(Bitcoin)、以太坊(Ethereum)和狗狗幣(Dogecoin)一樣,又有一種新興的加密貨幣正劍指星辰大海。
今年 3 月首次亮相的 SafeMoon 近來備受關注,因為它宣稱自己能夠避免比特幣、以太坊和最近的狗狗幣都經歷過的價格過山車。
SafeMoon的創始人稱,到目前為止,已經有20萬人購買了這種新型加密貨幣。它的價格只有1美分的極小一部分——0.000007美元——這還已經是在過去的一個月里暴漲了202%后的結果:這段時間里加密貨幣的價值全面飆升,SafeMoon的價格自然也水漲船高。
與更成熟的加密貨幣相比,SafeMoon還是個“小咖”,市值僅為41億美元,而比特幣的市值為7,923億美元(單價42,584美元),以太坊的市值為3,651億美元(單價3,168美元)。
不過,SafeMoon的批評者稱,人們根本不清楚它的應用價值在哪里。
但SafeMoon的確滿足了人們對加密貨幣貪得無厭的胃口。狗狗幣最近得到了特斯拉公司(Tesla)的首席執行官埃隆?馬斯克的推波助瀾,身價暴漲。其他諸如柴犬幣(Shiba Inu)——另一個狗狗主題的加密貨幣,以及上周首次亮相的Internet Computer,一上來就吸引了人們的目光。
以下是我們對SafeMoon的了解。
SafeMoon是什么?
SafeMoon是另一個類似于比特幣和以太坊的數字貨幣,但和它們有幾個關鍵區別。其創始人說,他們希望解決其他數字貨幣的一些常見問題,例如價格的大起大落。為了做到這一點, SafeMoon 的目標是叫停這種貨幣的日間交易,并為長期持有者給予激勵,每次交易收取10%的費用——這部分費用中有一半專門用于當前的擁有者,他們會獲得一些額外的硬幣,作為長期持有的紅利。
“這樣做的目的是防止大鱷們在之后決定拋售這些貨幣時,會引發更大的崩盤,讓價格不會有那么大的波動?!盨afeMoon解釋道,“大鱷”這個術語指的是持有大量數字貨幣的投資者。
SafeMoon還表示,它會選擇手動熔斷,而不是自動、連續地熔斷,即出于某些目的,停止數字貨幣的流通。創始人說,手動熔斷可以讓SafeMoon更好地控制貨幣供應量。隨著需求的增加,供應量減少,就會抬高貨幣的價格。
誰在領導SafeMoon?
SafeMoon列出了一個由六名領導人組成的團隊。首席執行官約翰?卡洛尼居首,從他在領英(LinkedIn)上的個人資料得知,他之前是美國國防部(U.S. Department of Defense)的分析師。他還與首席技術官托馬斯?史密斯、社群經理特雷弗?丘奇一起,正在開發一個名為TANO的獨立視頻游戲工作室,TANO是“技術創新”(technically a new operation)的縮寫。
史密斯兩年來一直在與不同的組織合作,研究區塊鏈和去中心化金融產品;而該公司的首席運營官杰克?海恩斯-戴維斯駐在英國,他在領英上列出了自己的前兩家雇主:Like and Share和Ben Phillips Global。但這兩家公司是做什么的目前尚不清楚。
SafeMoon的計劃是什么?
SafeMoon制定了今年的規劃:該公司表示,它在第一季度已經將團隊規模擴大了一倍,并且已經開始了營銷活動。接下來,該公司計劃完成SafeMoon應用程序(雖然還不清楚可以用來做什么)、錢包和游戲。該公司還計劃讓自己的貨幣能夠在幣安(Binance)等交易平臺流通,同時開始建設自己的交易所。它還有意將其團隊擴大35%,并設立一個英國/愛爾蘭辦事處。該公司稱,預計到今年下半年,將完成SafeMoon交易所(SafeMoon Exchange),并在非洲設立一個SafeMoon辦事處。
批評者們怎么說?
然而,這些宏大的計劃讓一些懷疑論者對SafeMoon嗤之以鼻,尤其是在價格僅漲了一點的情況下。
例如,推特(Twitter)上有一個名為WarOnRugs的用戶,自稱是一個“基于社區的草根運動”,旨在揭露加密貨幣的騙局,就在上個月對SafeMoon提出了批評.
“這個貨幣超過50%的流動性都來自持有者,他們也沒有想解決問題。”該用戶發推文說?!八梢岳送顿Y、出售令牌,建立一種地毯式推銷(讓自己脫身)。而這絕對會有傾家蕩產的可能?!?/p>
加密貨幣分析師、投資者拉克?戴維斯在上個月也表達了同樣的看法,將SafeMoon比作BitConnect——一個最后證明是龐氏騙局的投資平臺?!罢埨卫斡涀?,僅僅因為你從龐氏騙局中賺到了錢,并不能夠改變它是個騙局的事實?!彼l推文說。(財富中文網)

A relatively new cryptocurrency is trying to reach the moon, like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin before it.
SafeMoon, which debuted in March, has received increased buzz recently, based on a pitch that it will avoid the wild price fluctuations endemic to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more recently, Dogecoin.
So far, 2 million people have bought SafeMoon, according to the currency's creators. Its price is a fraction of a cent—$.000007— but that's up 202% in the past month as cryptocurrencies across the board have soared in value.
Compared to more established coins, SafeMoon is a piker. Its market cap is $4.1 billion, versus $792.3 billion for Bitcoin (price: $42,584) and $365.1 billion for Ethereum (price: $3,168).
Critics of SafeMoon complain that there’s not enough information about it or how it can be used.
But SafeMoon does fill what seems like a bottomless appetite for cryptocurrencies. The value of Dogecoin, which received a massive boost from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, recently exploded in value. Other like Shiba Inu, another dog-themed cryptocurrency, and Internet Computer, which debuted last week, have also gained traction.
Here’s what we know about SafeMoon.
What is SafeMoon?
SafeMoon is another digital currency similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum, with a couple of key differences. Its creators say they want to fix some of the problems—like price volatility—that are common in other digital coins. To do this, SafeMoon aims to discourage day trading of its coin and to reward long-term holders by charging a 10% fee on each sale. Half of the fees collected are earmarked for existing coin owners, who receive a sort of dividend in the form of additional coins.
“The goal here is to prevent the larger dips when whales decide to sell their tokens later in the game, which keeps the price from fluctuating as much,” SafeMoon said in explaining its currency, using the term for investors who hold large amounts of digital coins.
SafeMoon also says it opts for manual burns versus continuous burns, which is when digital coins are purposefully removed from circulation. Manual burns, according to the creators, give SafeMoon more control over the coin's supply. Less supply with increasing demand would increase the coin's price.
Who leads SafeMoon?
SafeMoon lists a team of six leaders. At the top is CEO John Karony, who previously served as an analyst for the U.S. Department of Defense, according to his LinkedIn profile. He, along with SafeMoon’s chief technology officer Thomas Smith and community manager Trevor Church, is also working on an independent video game studio called TANO, an acronym for "technically a new operation."
Smith has spent the past two years working with different organizations on blockchain and decentralized financial products. SafeMoon’s chief operating officer, Jack Haines-Davies, based in the United Kingdom, lists two companies on LinkedIn, LikeandShare and Ben Phillips Global, as his former employers. It’s unclear what those companies do.
What are SafeMoon’s plans?
SafeMoon has laid out a road map for the year. In the first quarter, the company said that it had doubled the size of its team and begun a marketing campaign. Next the company plans to complete a SafeMoon app (though it's unclear what that app will do), a wallet, and games. It also says it plans to explore allowing trading of its currency on exchanges like Binance, begin building its own exchange, expand its team by 35%, and establish a U.K./Ireland office. In the last half of the year, the company said it plans to finish its SafeMoon Exchange and open an African-based SafeMoon office.
What do critics say?
The lofty plans have some skeptics raising their eyebrows at SafeMoon, especially as the price rises.
For example, a Twitter account called WarOnRugs, which identifies itself as a "community based, grassroots movement" that aims to expose crypto scams, criticized SafeMoon last month.
"Owner owns more than 50% of the liquidity and refuses to fix it," the account tweeted. "He could pull LP and sell tokens, creating a rug pull [meaning an exit scam]. Likeliness of losing all funds: Absolute."
Crypto analyst and investor Lark Davis echoed the sentiment last month, comparing SafeMoon to BitConnect, an investment platform that ended up being a Ponzi scheme. "Remember just because you make money off of a ponzi does not change the fact that it is a ponzi," he tweeted.
