President-elect Trump launched his own cryptocurrency overnight and swiftly appeared to make more than $25 billion on paper for himself and his companies.

Why it matters: The stunning launch of $TRUMP caught the entire industry off-guard, and speaks to both his personal influence and the ascendancy of cryptocurrency in his administration.

  • It also speaks to the nature of the crypto industry that someone could have $25 billion worth of something that literally did not exist 24 hours previously.

    Why do you need to use crypto to pay legitimate workers under the table?

    Sounds like you have predefined crypto as useful when it’s actually not any more useful then valid currency

    Also what would you prefer i say to shame you for having an crush on a con man? You want to suck him, you can lie to us, but don’t lie to yourself
