Holy sht he released Ross Ulbricht.
J6ers.
Kept tiktok.
Has Elon, bezo and zuck on board.
Trump will unite a lot of internet users. Dems are cooked if he keeps this up.
I'd say he starts going for throats of his enemies after this phase.

Only currently . After all this only Day 3 of office.

Perhaps we should view the Trump coin deal as simply the funnel for every future scammer to keep on the good side of The Don.

I always thought BC was a scam but BC insiders are saying the Trumps bitcoin really is a scam.

Trumps conflicts of interest is apparently the biggest in US politics, always the biggest.

Strange times.

I'll repost my comments from the Trump crypto poll.
..............................................................................................
IMV Trump Coin will be the vehicle of choice for anyone who wants to influence Trump. So the questions to ask are

1) Is Donald Trump open to taking money ?
2) Does Trump have a history of relentlessly trying to get money from anyone with a pulse and dollars ?
3) Are there any actions that Trump would not consider supporting on ethical grounds ? Pardoning international peddlers ? Protecting environments from unconscionable pollution ?
4) Does Donald Trump hold the most powerful office in the most powerful country in the world ?
5) Can and does he use his power without reservation, regard for the law or even with rationality ?
6) Would a rising Trump coin value benefit the MAGA base that currently support him ?
7) Can Donald Trump ever be charged let alone convicted of anything in the next 4 years ? If he can't be, surely any other party in the transaction is equally safe.

If one answers Yes, Yes, No , Yes, Yes, YES, No then the logical conclusion is that support for Trump coin will escalate to singularity. If /when it reaches $500 a coin The Don will be worth $500 Billion - $500,000,000,00. On current figures he would be the richest man in the world - as he firmly believes he should be.

In my view this will be much bigger and move much quicker than the South Seas Bubble.

The South Sea Bubble of 1720

The 18th century version of the Dot Com Boom - and Bust!

Interesting to check out the Forbes Billionaires list. Compare the 2024 table to the current list.

Axios ran a pithy story on Trump Coin. No surprises on what they thought.
