i feel like trumpcoin, and the fact that we never talk about it, is pretty emblematic of the way the press refuses to grapple with trump.
it exists in order to pay him bribes. it expressly gives you political access. it does not pretend to have a licit motive. it was a one-day scandal.

And, yeah, it's awful and full of cringe grifters, but also Bitcoin alone has a nearly 2 trillion dollar market cap, so it's quite a big deal.
Tomorrow all owners of Apple have a simultaneous stroke and sell all they can. What happens? All owners of bitcoin do the same. What happens?
Crypto "market cap" is a red herring.

You're implying there's some deep lore and there just isn't.
The original post lamented that there wasn't more noise made in the press about Trumpcoin.
I reckon more would be made of it if more journalists had a better understanding of it.
You feel differently, fine.
… he sure made it easy to write up an article of impeachment
Is that all done in dollars or can anyone use any currency?
You can't even fabricate a legitimate basis for these transactions. They are corrupt to the core. Someone needs to say it in simplistic language so MAGA understands it.
I'm failing to find words for my revulsion.
This is why we have AI. It should be consuming every order that Trump issues and analyzing the orders to create a dashboard with traceability highlighting laws broken, unconstitutionality, and similarities to tactics of other authoritarian and fascist regimes past and present.
Plus, the value of his wild proclamations and economic idiocy is media gold and they just can’t help mainlining that stuff
Ho-hum
This one has the best language thus far:
