The best counter-argument to this that I’ve hears is that, in the year 2025, hardly anyone is confused about the nature of memecoins anymore. People know they are essentially buying lottery tickets when they buy a memecoin. And so long as the memecoin issuer is not hiding this fact, it should be allowed.

That may be true. People are free to gamble if they choose to. But is this something the President of the United States should be participating in? And what does he gain other than fiat? What does he lose? Is it worth it? nostr:note15z2zmkt58uvtnp85w9e9hffmexlcdakyn6kkyh20ehkk29cxgawq2kssjx

Grifters are always gonna grift.

It’s also worth considering the fact that the more money Trump makes, the more insulated he is from his adversaries.Not only that, but he is also less beholden to special interests and their funding sources if he has his own

Yes. That is the main benefit of having more fiat. The question is, will he use that insulation for good or ill?

Well, this is Donald Trump we’re talking about…

Trump has always been part clown. But clowns get attention. What I appreciate is that no one has to pretend that government isn’t a clown show anymore. A dangerous clown show. Trump threatens those diabolical psychopaths and that gives me great comfort right now
