Summary
Donald Trump’s meme cryptocurrency, $Trump, surged to a $14 billion market cap after launch but fell by over 50% after Melania Trump introduced her own token, $Melania, diverting investor interest.
$Trump partially recovered to $64 while $Melania reached a $13 billion valuation.
The tokens, marketed by Trump-controlled companies, sparked debate over their speculative nature, market volatility, and potential conflicts of interest.
Trump’s pro-crypto stance and promised deregulation have boosted digital currencies, though critics question the ethics of profiting from political office.
Wide open grifting.
Are you saying the pedophile rapist traitorous treasonous lying coward convicted felon is a GRIFTER!?!?!?
Pity.
I hope it is not only those on Lemmy that see this man this way. I can’t see him either without seeing all those preceeding qualifiers. Those who omit them seem woefully ignorant. Not saying that they have to say the mouthful each time when mentioning the guy, but it’s refreshing to see it when others do!
Either they don’t see it or it’s what they want. I tend to think it’s the latter… He was voted in fair and square after all.
Don’t forget bribery and money laundering.
