"What's compelling about it is if the United States takes a position in the emerging crypto economy " if it buys up 10, 20% of the bitcoin network, we're going to pay off the national debt, so why wouldn't that be in the interest of the United States?"

But for every bitcoin evangelist, there is an academic or banker from across the political spectrum who will point out that cryptocurrency investments might just as easily go up in smoke, which would be an unfortunate thing to happen to taxpayer dollars."

Ah, taxpayers are the bank for the Billionaire Boys Casino Meme coins.

Why not? Aren't we happy with them raping us on a daily basis? Perhaps we should get a divorce?

If you want to know how Trump's bitcoin meme scam werks to let him launder money from China, start about 7 mins in, though the whole thing is pretty interesting.

Also covers Musk's Dogecoin scam.

Another scam from the scam president. Once again at our expense.

Trump's bitcoin reserve will be seeded with bitcoin (BTC-USD) already owned by the federal government that was taken as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings, Trump's crypto czar David Sacks said in a Thursday post on the social media platform X.

All smoke and mirrors as usual. Just laundering stolen BTC.

Another day, another cascade of idiocy from Leon's deputy and designated the moron-in-chief Old Senescent. (Don't blame me; that's what Melanie and Barroom call him behind his back. So they say.)

This is where all the chumps that used to cry woes over the USD not being backed by gold will suddenly embrace and suck up to the crypto market.

Probably because it is absolute horse S**T!

Fact is Trump and Musk will increase yhe federal debt by 5 trillion dollars.

But you Trumpers and MAGAdiots believe whatever lies they feed your dumb asses! I don't care, but when it collapses just remember I told you so!
