Trump Issues Executive Order to Support the Growth of Cryptocurrencies
The order signaled that the president intends to promote an industry that faced scrutiny during the Biden administration — and that he has a personal stake in.

Mr. Trump has a significant personal stake in the success of the crypto industry. He and his sons last year helped start a crypto company called World Liberty Financial, which is selling a new digital currency called WLFI. This month, he and his wife, Melania, each began selling memecoins, a type of cryptocurrency inspired by an online joke or celebrity mascot.

The ventures have drawn criticism from ethics experts concerned about conflicts of interest. In effect, Mr. Trump is trying to write the rules for business ventures from which he may personally profit. He has vowed to end the Biden administration’s legal crackdown on crypto companies and made a series of personnel selections at key federal agencies that appear poised to boost the crypto industry’s prospects.

In the executive order, Mr. Trump said his administration was committed to “protecting and promoting” the crypto industry.

Among the more substantive elements of the order is a prohibition on the creation of a “central bank digital currency,” a type of cryptocurrency that is overseen by the government. Many crypto enthusiasts oppose the creation of such currencies on ideological grounds, and Mr. Trump vowed on the campaign trail to outlaw them.

Trump fires 17 independent watchdogs

How many fucking cryptocurrencies does this country need in order to conduct commerce?

Someone ought to do a trump parody of the old Cream song Rollin and Tumblin and call Gropin and Griftin.

At some point the emolument clause might be relevant if they would just enforce it.

As I understand it, Anyone who wishes to bribe him, or anyone else in that field just has to ask -How much crypto/memecoin shall I buy?

Totally untraceable. The next Swiss bank.

That would be a fun project. But "Rollin' and Tumblin'" isn't a Cream song--though the Cream cover may be the most famous version.

R&T is an old blues standard of unknown authorship that was first recorded in 1929. Robert Johnson later released his own version. The Cream cover is based on the Muddy Waters' version of the 1950s.

My own favorite version of the song is Johnny Winter's.

. . . so many sheeple, so little time.

Thanks for correcting that. Since CREAM did it on one of their re-union gigs, I assumed it was original to them. I like Eric Clapton's Unplugged version.

But sooo much money!

Thanks to our Supreme Court, the EO gives Trump presidential immunity even if he defrauds a million people out of their life savings.

By all means, Trump voters, invest in his imaginary currency.

Well, he does business on his own instead of Biden’s style of money making “ gimme some/pay up for the big guy”
