President Trump at a pre inauguration speech
“As of today, TikTok is back,” Trump said. “So, you know, I did a little TikTok thing. We have a guy...he’s a young kid, like 21 years old, and we hired this guy, and I went on Tiktok. Can you believe what I’ll do to win an election?”
“So whether you like Tiktok or not, we’re going to make a lot of money,” he added.

Earlier today, the president’s daughter Ivanka warned her social media followers not to fall for a scam crypto coin called $IVANKA that, she said, “is being promoted without my consent or approval.”
I would love to hear someone articulate why it would be any less of a scam if she were the one promoting it.
Maybe a better way to phrase it would have been ‘this is someone else scamming you, not me’.
When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

Hahaha, so true.
Also, do you think Barron was named after the Robber Baron? Sure would make sense.

Ah, the hyenas circle the
, just out of the circle of light.Face it, with the exception of Barron, I doubt any of the Trump kids understand Bitcoin. Somebody made a pitch and they took it.
Personally, I would not invest in any of the stuff.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

I have seen no evidence to support the above. Feel free to point me to such evidence if you wish.
I extrapolate that from what Trump told Hannity about Tik-Tok in his recent interview.

I would say that the people on this forum board on average are more knowledgable about bit coin than the average 18 year old. Most 18 year olds that I know do not have much, if any, knowledge of bit coin.

I would say 90% of the population has little knowledge of bitcoin.

I agree with that. Even a lot of people who invest in it (and swear by it) dont really understand it.

Nobody who claims to understand it has ever been able to explain bitcoin to me so that I can understand it. Admittedly, I felt much the same way about quantum mechanics, although at least in that case the professional dorks could back up their claim with third order non-linear differential equations.
So either I'm really stupid or they don't actually get it. Obviously, both could also be true.
