And so it begins... The swamp creatures emerge, looking for victims.

Donald Trump was accused of corruption as he returned to the White House days after launching a multibillion-dollar cryptocurrency meme coin. Former government ethics officials and presidential experts said the venture amounted to a “shameful” conflict of interest.

The president and his wife, Melania, each announced their own respective coins ahead of his inauguration. Both were valued at billions of dollars as Trump took the oath of office on Monday.

It's nonsense to speak of them being "worth" "billions of dollars" which not only don't exist physically but as a sustainable notion.
"Cryptocurrency" isn't the problem of course. The whole concept of finance is rooted on a collection of blatant lies - re everything from the "worth" of so-called "precious" "metals", to the lie that the amassing of any kind of wealth is anything other than a crime against humanity...

Incidentally, it can't be a coincidence that so many media people are now pronouncing the present Mrs Trump's name as "millennia" (with the theory of guilt-by-association in mind, I'm waiting for either "melanoma" or "melena" to slip out of someone's mouth).

@SuziSatan02 People have handed over actual dollars for these trinkets. The concept of value is very real for the Trumps, but will be all too ephemeral for those lower down the pyramid.
