What, no TRUMP or MELANIA coins?

The national scam is well under way. I can see how stockpiling crypto is going to be a major asset in the war on high grocery prices…

    This is just stealing public money isn’t it?

    They buy the crypto they plan on having the US acquire and then they dump their holdings when the price skyrockets…

    We’re being forced to be scammed… Absolute fucking scum

      My guess is that they created the Trump coin, got idiots to buy it, then they dumped it and transferred the coin to more commonly used coins for free. In which now he has the U.S. sink money into, increasing their initial investment they got from their followers being tricked.

      It’s buying crypto to gamble… on debt. Don’t forget that all this shit needs to not only break even but outpace the increased interest payments to bond holders that will need to be done to fund it.

      If done right, it can be done cheap. The police regularly confiscates wannabe money when raiding e.g. darknet shops or drug lords. Just don’t put them up for auction, instead collect them as a reserve.
