      The problem isn’t that idiots are throwing their money away. It’s that foreign governments and bad actors can give Trump money this way.

    This is a clear and obvious pump-and-dump. Anyone that falls for this deserves to be fleeced.

    Look at the bright side: only a die-hard magard would fall for this grift. So when Trump pulls the rug, the magards will finally realize they’ve been took.

    In other words, Trump is innoculating his own followers with the cure for Trumpism.

      This was a money laundering scheme. Foreign governments and companies (foreign and domestic) who want favor with trump are the ones who bought in.

      All money is “entirely fake”. The only difference is how big the value fluctuations are and to what degree you can exchange it for other currency. Crypto has a big problem with the former and minor problems with the latter, but generally speaking it’s not much less real than, say, the US dollar.

          I’m pretty sure people in the EU can’t pay their taxes in USD either, but it doesn’t mean the US dollar is fake. Or it does mean that it’s fake and all other currencies are also fake.

    This is not a rugpull but a readjustment. The purpose of this coin and Melania’s coin is to get around laws preventing foreign sources from donating to or bribing Trump.
