It makes me want to riot that we've allowed the presidents whole family to leverage their wealth on Bitcoin, its such an outrageous conflict of interest, literally with a few million up front you stand to become unbelievably wealthy by yanking the USD's reserve currency status.

Real monkeys paw action here tho because I always liked the idea of BTC as a viable alternate to USD, but, not like this.

corruption is one thing, I would call it merely unfair (unfortunately not illegal) to trade with inside information or by pulling strings. Crashing the dollar for personal gain, tho, it's practically treason.

As someone looking in at the USA from the outside, it absolutely blows my mind that the country went from “give up the peanut farm” to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$Trump

Like… what!?

I have no words.
