Can these memes be bought and sold unlimited times in a day? On what exchange are they traded? Looks like a pump and dump scheme without knowing too much about it...
Not so. The people who sold it at the high point made money, probably a ton of money if they got it at the initial price or for free in exchange for their work setting it up (even if the 'work' was just saying 'hey someone create my own shitcoin')
This looks like it's just a standard pump and dump which can be done with anything, it's just easier with crypto because you don't have to create an actual company or something and there's a lot of people hoping that this will be the next bitcoin and their $100 will be worth millions in 10 years.
When wealthy foreigners start buying his meme coin in the billions of dollars, what parts of America will he sell out to them for this favor? I am so sick of this weak country and its inability to stop this obvious criminal from taking over the White House.
Brian, I support you and your ideas and have been watching you for a while. I think that when you deride those Trumpers, it is antithetical to the goal of uniting the country. I think you should highlight all the things that you do, but don't insult those who are victims (even if they are willing).
There will be no uniting of the country with most of MAGA, unless it is under their rule and chosen prophet. People who voted because things were too expensive so not get a pass if they them bought into this scam.
We are being suckered into the hate machine. We are being suckered by absolutist statements. I understand that we lost this election. Let's not support the hate machine.
if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.We must take sides. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
This is not true. I have converted several MAGA individuals who were caught in a bubble. They are converting! We need to highlight the way they are being victimized. Not deride them for it.
Your pitch is better than mine, then. I can't break through the constant brainwash of AM talk radio, right wing podcasting, and legacy media to make an impact.
Well the pitch should certainly not be: "Look you idiot!! You Sucker HA HA." because that's what "Congrats" means in the context of Brians post. I am talking about effective tactics for change.
A couple years ago, Trump tweeted that cryptocurrency had no actual values. The MAGA should have taken his advice, now they are learning the lesson the hard way.
All the greatest mind of America are present there. Those guys have PhDs in Astro-Physics, Quantum Physics, Mathematics, but more importantly stupidity
Great. The non-MAGA world should come all together to flood the internet with fact checking, so that all have more fact checked information than misinformation
And before it was bankrupt, his dad snuck money to him by buying chips from the casino and not cashing them in to try to help save it to the tune of over $3 million. Who's to say he won't be taking foreign money this same exact way via the coins?
I know most of it is just a means of dark money flooding to trump, but the idea of the average Trumper losing their money to this is satisfying none the less.

Have you ever bought meme coin? I'm certain the average Trump supporter could never figure it out, even if they had two dimes to rub together to begin with.
This.The average supporter has no idea how it works. I had ChatGPT explain it because of the relative complexity. High honors in math and I'm still like, "WUT?" WTF is mining? Computers solve problems and the winner gets new coins? Quasi-savvy and I'm clueless. His basic supporter is not buying.
He doesn't need to, he hold 80% of the stock ready to sell it to whichever foreign billionaires want to give him $Millions for him to change legislation in the USA, so that they can make money from the slaves (sorry American people) of the USA.
Grifters gonna grift.
His fans weren’t buying his coin. Foreign crypto exchanges are buying it in small increments through frequent transactions to artificially inflate the value. And they’re selling off #bitcoin to do it, which is in free fall rn.Tech Bros gonna be pissed if he can’t re-rally bitcoin tomorrow.
It’s a blatant scam on the American people. How is any of this allowed? Why is he not being held accountable for everything illegal that He is doing? He doesn’t have immunity yet. Somebody fucking arrest Donald Trump
The small window where you could profit reeks of insider trading & monitored deals. People just lost their homes … I wonder how many more millions of Luigi’s this created. Oh well Bozo Orphan Annie Zuck & Muck made $ as Petey Theil was monitoring.
The tech bros love it pump and dump baby! They will make millions! The average MAGA person will just lose money and keep on being idiot's. What I don't understand is how the SEC doesn't see this memecoin isn't a securities product?
Trump has ruined crypto. For anyone who actually wanted to invest in crypto, this doesn't bode well. What msy have once been an interesting investment opportunity has been turned into just another get rich quick scheme. MAGA
I'm sorry. I seem to be going mad because, for a moment, I thought I read that this is happening "as Melania Trump launches her own memecoin." And clearly, that would be insane.
The major ones at least kind of have some use value in that they're used for illicit transactions (drugs, cp, weapons, stolen goods, etc) and for untraceable ransom demands.
@briantylercohen.bsky.social I don't know if you'll be broadcasting live tomorrow or not, normally I never miss your show, but I can't stomach the inauguration and refuse to watch. I am just one viewer that doesn't make much difference but I wonder if others feel the same.
When the crypto bros are made about a new coin, you know it’s more of a scam than what we usually see. Interesting how a meme coin presented by the highest office in the US is negatively impacting all other currencies… wonder what that’s about
I think they'll pump it even more before the real crash happens...gotta make people think their actually making money of it first.
Then they'll "hodl-gang" it till it's dry, thinking it's the wise investment.
We've seen this before with the DJT stock scam.
It falls to near its actual value of nothing, then big buyers (billionaires and foreign govts? Just a guess) suddenly appear to prop up its value as a way of appeasing, paying off or bribing the orange disgrace.
They fell for the scam of voting for him, and will fall for all the other scams too.
Half of the voting nation is in the grip of con man and can't get out, because admitting you're conned is more shameful and painful than riding the tiger all the way to hell.
Often, people who get scammed get targeted by "scam recovery lawyer" who pretend to get them their money back against an upfront fee. Which works at a high rate, because you have the victim is pre-selected among a pool of gullible people. Same phenomenon.
I believe you're right. I think it's one reason to go easy on the ones we think we could actually save. Nobody wants to be laughed at for a fever dream.
We are here because they are too stupid to know they have been conned. They aren't going to wake up. They are ignorant, hateful, and stupid. They won't ever admit they were wrong because they aren't capable of complex thought.
This is PT Barnum. He is credited with saying “There’s a sucker born every minute.” He said it before MAGA even existed. What must people have been like for him to have said that back almost 150 years ago?
i can't see how they *don't* get financially ruined. everything is a scam, especially obvious after the ticket thing. His supporters are nothing but a ATM machine for him.
No child left behind is a big factor. But also, what do you think happens when education is attacked on a national level and folks treat expertise like it's a scam?
Fuck the cowardly, incompetent Democrats in power!
They had plenty of legit. reasons to audit swing states.
But they would rather blame voters.
Fuck all of them for not fighting for US and U.S.
We deserve better.
They will live, prosper under Trump. Most of us won’t.
Those who voted for Mango or DIDN'T vote at all are about to feel the FULL brunt of his authoritarian regime! Shit's about to hit the fan & affect them the most of ALL!! Wait until the ACA is disassembled, or they'll be in line at a food banks when they can't afford groceries!
Comments
the amount of wallets trumps crypto team(barron) have will be hard to trace.
and i dont think theres been a tweet from elon yet?....(big pump)
It's cheap, not very nutritional, but you won't gain weight.
Dust... the food of MAGA
(by the beginning summer anyway)
Tolerance paradox:
if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.We must take sides. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
You can show maga facts, but you can’t make them accept them😒
Fresh cool unharmful water.
You can't expect a horse to drink mud.
The point was lost on you😔

You’re going to get what you deserve.”

This is rich/foreign people give Trump large amounts of money through the back door for favours...
or Quid Pro Quo.
We all know how Trump loves his Quid Pro Quo.
He's selling your country through the back door.
Give him money, and he will change any legislation to suit you.
The MAGA sheep love a good fleecing
So Melanie is cashing in.

I wonder how many times MAGA will get duped before they catch on?

#MAGA #Republicans - the #Trump gift that keeps on giving, and giving, and giving, …
… and can’t afford #EGGS❗️
i'm just.....absolutely floored by these people.
They’re paying for bribes/favors back-and-forth.
The fucking bible
The stupid sneakers
Her shitty memoir
The coins
etc….
This is their way of moving money
Pay attention!!!!!!
They had plenty of legit. reasons to audit swing states.
But they would rather blame voters.
Fuck all of them for not fighting for US and U.S.
We deserve better.
They will live, prosper under Trump. Most of us won’t.
Time after time, they must be hemorrhaging money by now -
Yet, they are shocked.
Seriously? Are their brain stems working?
This shit is baffling and stupid.
