Zhi Zhu 🕸️<p>"The Trumps have been trying to get into <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crypto</span></a> for a while, and they saw an opportunity to cash in this weekend. Just as <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> sold his <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> devotees Trump-branded Bibles &amp; sneakers, he has now sold them a Trump memecoin. Of course, if someone pays $60 for a Trump-branded Bible, they may have overpaid, but at least they got a holy book in exchange; if you lose all your savings on Trump’s memecoin, you have nothing to show for it."<br><a href="https://archive.is/xkhPP" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.is/xkhPP</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> </p><p><a href="https://newsie.social/tags/Ponzi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ponzi</span></a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/DonTheCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DonTheCon</span></a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>US</span></a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a></p>
