The FT getting itself into a bit of a muddle with its lead article this morning.
It ‘fears’ that investors want to fall for Trump’s shitcoin scams, but are instead falling for copycat shitcoin scams passing themselves off as Trump shitcoin scams.

Trump’s digital financial technology executive order is just politics as usual.
In theory, the government makes decisions in the people’s best interests. In practice, the government makes decisions in big business’s best interest.
That’s why the government promotes garbage food, harmful drugs which don’t work, constant warfare, etc.
The centralised shitcoin industry was a huge donor to the Trump campaign. As a result, centralised shitcoins are likely to be promoted by the government. It’s just the way politics work. Trump even established himself as shitcoiner-in-chief before assuming office.
Bitcoin may benefit by being included in any US initiatives or reserves. But Bitcoin will suffer because officialdom will legitimise centralised shitcoins.
