I miss the days when new coins at least attempted to pretend they contain some sort of financial innovation. There was at least a possibility of something of substance there.

Now it's all celebrity endorsement, hype and lies.

And having the US prez jump on that bandwagon and ride it while in office is just mind-boggling.

Isn't this culture day to day centered on celebrity endorsements, hype and lies?

Seems like what's happening is unsurprising. A nation of spectators, not citizens.

Fad intangible assets is pretty mind boggling to me. If you are thinking someone is the next Shakespeare while they are alive then you are probably going to be wrong and when you are right their coin should warrant a future value that is marginal compared to whatever the teeny bops actually prefer in a hundred years.

I'd suspect there will be a lot of room for "non-official acts" charges related to Trump's pump-and-dump crypto schemes after he leaves office.

And fewer politicians are going to have incentive to stick with him then.
