    And we’ll build a giant virtual wall around it to protect it from hackers.

    This man and his cronies are doing everything they can to dismantle the U.S.from the inside out.

    Would be fine if it was just a reality t.v show -- unfortunately for us all, it is reality.

    This is literally the opposite of the reason for the creation of crypto. No one wants the government involved

    I miss the days when Republicans on this board started endless threads bemoaning the use of executive orders.

    Too bad there wasn't a way to pay him his grift without him screwing over the rest of the country. And world.

    Sol is the platform that the Trump and Melania shitcoins run on, in case anyone is wondering why it's on the list ...

    That would be pointless since the Russian hackers are now invited into our systems and are running the country already anyway.

    I am not sure how, but this is almost certainly more laundering of Russian currency through Trump businesses.

    It’s critical for Trump to sell his shitcoins and NFTs to suckers.

    It's pretty obviously money laundering or influence peddling. Or both. That's been clear from the start.

    But Trump not only controls the DOJ, he's handpicked them based on their willingness to bend (break) the law to suit his ends. And he's fired all, or most, IG's who might have a say in enforcing the rules.

    The interesting thing is not that this happened - we all knew Trump is a criminal, it's what one should have expected. The interesting thing is how easily it all happened. Just fascinating how easy it was to turn America into a lawless state - lawless at least for Donald Trump and associates. Fascinating how most of America simply doesn't care.

    Shame on us. Shame on our nation. We rolled over this easily?

    North Korea hacked 1.5 billion of US crypto like 2 days ago. But sure, let's invest in it now

    NYT said the federal government already has an estimated $19 billion in seized bitcoin. The Orange Skidmark can use that to establish the reserve.
    If he wants to spend tax dollars to buy more, one would think he needs congressional approval.
    But who knows how our government works at this point.
