So defragmented
Pro business president π
Did anyone expect anything else? The guy is a well-documented scammer and liar.
Banana republic vibes here ...
People bought that shit willingly
Yeah, the defragmentation brings some zen here.
Americans more gullible than ever.
blatant corruption of the oligarchy right in everyone's face and nobody gives a damn f. what a wild country.
Iβm supposed to see no anti comments to this post. I thought nostr has a fair bit of supporters whoβd vote for 3rd term no matter what. π€
Itβs hilarious that many people are quick to call out corruption regarding anything the democrats do (make no mistake, thereβs tons of corruption that needs to be investigated, no doubt) yet when they refer to Trump or his family they refer to them as βtransactionalβ.
Readers of this paper should feel good that he paid himself by "scamming" people that the readers of this paper most likely hate anyway.
Better than starting wars and laundering money through the military industrial complex.
how much of the "cryptocurrency" bucket is bitcoin? is it some portion of the wlf category?
Big difference between suckering people and embezzling money that was collected at the point of a gun (i.e. Taxes)
I live in the US and I can tell you I care. I knew Trump was going to be bad for democracy and freedom but I didn't think this bad (I didn't vote for him- voted Kamala). It's crazy to see the BTC libertarian go completely quite on this shit. Buying US companies, making Tiktok deals to enrich his buddies, Tariffs, tech bro deals, ICE surveillance state, I could go on. This guy is running an oligarchy for sure and nothing from the group. Not to mention the stain Trump has had on BTC. What's sad too is I think BTC had a big role in getting Trump elected and now legal citizens are getting put in detention centers. Anyways glad to see Calle and Alex calling this shit out.
Instead of SBR we got SBF
nah fr
Never enjoy seeing people getting scammed and hate is a strong word, but karma can be a bitch. Even if a sign says stove is π₯ some will touch it to see.
BIDNESS*
Is rugging retards via meme coins illegal?

Crisis of the Roman Republic vibes
The only SBR that matters is your own.
bitcoin lost the most in $ terms
It works this way anywhere. Prople are deluded into think that there is a sort of ultimate judge, which is just an illusion.
He's doing those things as well lol
yah, i shouldn't have used the h* word. there are many good people reading the paper and it's a good graphic...
someone explained to me how "pay-for-play" works for traditional politicians--$500,000 speaking engagements at universities, institutions, etc in return for access. --and how this president was barred from that tasteful grift. so i cut him a lot of slack. especially since the people also opted in to those by purchasing those alt coins.
i don't think taxpayers/students opted in to the standard grift.
besides, who knows, maybe he will make his coin supply more valuable than bitcoin. after all every company who issues shares without believing they can do better than bitcoin is effectively scamming it's shareholders.
The meeting notes from Genslerβs meeting at Coinbase was crazy. And casually buried like everything else.
Build the new system. Thereβs no other way.
View quoted note β
According to the securities law, Yes.
Has anyone gone to jail for this? Cuz pump.fun was thriving last I checked and so was eth
$4 per citizen is reasonable
ππ
No. There is no justice anywhere. If you followed the rules you were a chump.
I think itβs more than that.
Now Trump crypto stench is tainting bitcoin. Wish HRF or @gladstein is what people thought of instead when thinking of bitcoin.
Keep calling it out if it goes unnoticed.
Some are getting it.

Has anyone done similar analyses about the previous presidents?
I'm sure no one pursues that office and then intends to walk away empty handed.
Was always a grifter. Still is.
