  Most dangerous thing for country about Trump coin is what comes next. Now anyone in world can essentially deposit money into bank account of President of USA with a couple clicks. Every favor - geopolitical, corporate or personal - is now on sale, right out in the open.

• @wkamaubell W. Kamau Bell on bluesky

  Trump couldn't even wait to get in office before he started oli-ing his garchs off!  He has sold his fans billions of dollars of NOTHING.  Feel free to schaden all the freudes.  But this is still awful.  For those who don't know, crypto meme coins are like MLMs for men. www.axios…

• @davelevitan Dave Levitan on bluesky

  Trump created $25 billion in on-paper wealth since yesterday by doing absolutely nothing, cool thing for a guy who will have the nuclear codes in two days to be able to do

• @celiene-ohara Celiene O'Hara on bluesky

  It's SUCH a scam.  “...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...”  —  www.axios.com/2025/01/18/t...

• @ianbassin Ian Bassin on bluesky

  A system in which someone can do something of zero intrinsic value and make $25 billion overnight is a system broken beyond measure.  —  And if the person claiming to fix it is the one making that $, most likely he's going down with it when it all implodes. www.axios.com/2025/01/…

  Today marks 6 months since launch. In the last 12 hours, we were featured on $TRUMP's website as THE way to buy, processed nearly $400m in volume, crushed fiat onramp records by orders of magnitude, and brought 200k+ new people onchain. We have an extremely high load right now

  Update, almost 400k new people onchain in the last 24 hours.

  If we do see hundreds of memecoins out there, then the market gets educated and becomes more real. A celeb memecoin is then a bit like a tracking poll. It measures the strength of an influencer's brand. You aren't forecasting future revenue, you're forecasting future pageviews.
