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.

I have seen no evidence to support the above. Feel free to point me to such evidence if you wish. :man-shrugging:

I wonder how much damage a future anti-crypto president could do to the value of bitcoin? It's designed to be immune to such pressures.

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.

I understand blockchain. It’s the coins I don’t get. I’m still waiting for a use case besides money laundering, smuggling, and speculation.

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.

One classical use case is that bitcoin would be a currency that would survive the collapse of fiat currencies. Thus "digital gold".

I'm actually glad it's dying a quick death rather than building up slowly so that more people eventually get burned.

Yeah, that initial burst was probably from the cohort that made a fortune reselling his sneakers.

More than 813,000 crypto wallets have lost a total of $2 billion after buying President Donald Trump’s memecoin, according to an assessment by Chainalysis commissioned by the New York Times. Meanwhile, the Trump Organization and its partners gained $100 million in trading fees. Since its Jan. 17 launch, $TRUMP has lost most of its value, which is now about $16 per share, down from its $75 peak.

Sorry Jolly, we’re not changing the subject. It is objectively gross the way he repeatedly fleeces his sheep and at some level you must see through it.
I just hope you haven’t bought into any of his grifts yourself.

You changed the subject way back in the thread, since the thread was about the Biden Crime Family.
All pardoned now, btw.

LOL you can thank Trump for those pardons. Wouldn't have happened otherwise. I guess J6 folks who beat up cops can also thank Trump for the pardons, too. MAPA!

My personal view is he would have pardoned Hunter in any case. And his brother was in fact under investigation by his own DoJ (imagine that happening to a Trump family member under Bondi - lol). So maybe that one too.
