Haven’t Trump and his Mafia been promoting crypto lately? Is this a preview of things to come for us in the States?

Hopefully it will happen faster here.

The Conservative leader In Canada (Pierre Poilievre) as well. I wonder why right-wingers are so focused on circumventing the state?

Lil PP was promoting Bitcoin but hasn’t talked about it since 2022.

Trump is using a shitcoin to finance himself without any traces of who is financing him.

Where you been? Trump already pumped and dumped his shit coin, Melania too. Not a peep. That’s probably where this clown got the idea.

Won’t happen. It was a pump and dump from the beginning and anyone who lost money paid the idiot tax.

While I understand your sentiment, it is unethical (which is confusing at times), to tax people because of their inability to make financially sound decisions. It is in the governments interests and duties to educate people to protect them from foreign and domestic bad actors.

The idiot tax isn’t an actual tax…

I guess you intend to convey that the “idiot tax” is a metaphor for the misfortune people suffer from their own (perceived) mistakes.

Though I cannot control language, I am of the opinion that lotteries are an example of the “idiot tax”, both in metaphor and finance.
