  When asked about SEC's authority wrt shitcoins, a former SEC official said “We don't have a lot of legal tools to prevent people from doing things that are really dumb with their money.”  —  Incredible.  —  www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

• @glcarlstrom Gregg Carlstrom on bluesky

  Background on this story, which seems to have horrified even many of the crypto grifters: “This is a horrible look for the industry already trying to make the case that we're not a bunch of hucksters, scammers and fraudsters.” www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

  The second Melania coin was launched, even stupid people realized that it's just another scam.

  “'It's absolutely preposterous that he would do this,"' said Nic Carter, founding partner at the crypto investment firm Castle Island Ventures who describes himself as an ‘avowed and explicit’ Trump supporter.  'They're plumbing new depths of idiocy with the memecoin launch.'"

• @aaron.rupar Aaron Rupar on threads

  Get a load of how CNBC is covering the Trump memecoin grift.  Watching this, you'd have no idea how egregiously corrupt it is.  Total normalization.

  A new completely open reasoning model out of China, Deepseek-R1, is now available. The benchmarks show it at parity with the likes of o1 and Sonnet In some informal tests on non-code problems, it is really good, not o1-pro level but surprisingly capable (and small & fast!). Big […

• @jjcycles @jjcycles on x

  I joined crypto because I genuinely saw a potential major impact on the financial system. Here we are, president of the United States Of America launching his own memecoin. Genuinely questioning whether I want to be involved in any of this much longer.

• @jjcycles @jjcycles on x

  Trump launching his own memecoin is dictatorship kinda vibes tbh Ya'll insane for cheering on this

• @jjcycles @jjcycles on x

  How the hell do we explain the last few days in crypto to our children?

• @gafoorkhann Gafoor Khan on x

  The fact that the US president is launching memecoins just shows how far crypto has come I've been in crypto for 7 years and have never seen something like this We started off as a small group of tech geeks and internet coins Now we're taking over the world Crazy times

• @gafoorkhann Gafoor Khan on x

  After Trump, Melania now drops a shitcoin. WTF is going on? No wonder people think crypto is just scams and money-making fuckery. And honestly... can you blame them? Onboarding millions like this? @RyanAFournier hyped a TikTok coin. Then deleted his tweet. Then said, “I sold

• @cryptohayes Arthur Hayes on x

  Memecoins are the best fan engagement tool ever invented. If Trump is doing it then it is less risky for Beyoncé or Swift to do one as well. Prepare your butts for a memecoin explosion.

• @gafoorkhann Gafoor Khan on x

  Trump onboarded normies to crypto today, sure. But for what? A memecoin pump? Some made life-changing money. They'll chase 100x gains forever, never learning what blockchains are all about. Others? They'll buy the top with their hard-earned savings. Exit in disgust, never

  There is a very important reason why the Trumps are launching $TRUMP and now $MELANIA so fast before the inauguration And whether you love Trump or hate Trump, the fact is that waiting another day could've opened him up to Constitutional violations & impeachment (again) 🧵 [image]

  In a bizarre development, after the launch of Trump Memecoin Melania Trump launched her own Melania Memecoin. #Trumpcoin #melaniacoin #ElonMusk [image]

• @vikramchandra Vikram Chandra on x

  Please remember that meme coins have no real “value”. They have a “price”. It can shoot up and make you feel rich. But in most cases the price will also crash and make you poor. Only a handful really make the big bucks. Beware! Don't bet your life savings or your house on
