Trump pardon

Donald Trump does not waste time to fulfill his pledge to make America “the capital of encryption in the world.” On Thursday, the president signed Executive order With a large title “strengthening American leadership in digital financial technology”, it aims to “support responsible growth and use digital assets, Blockchain technology, and relevant technologies in all sectors of the economy.”

It creates the president’s work group on digital asset markets, headed by the newly designated Crypto & Ai CZAR, David Sacks.

Melania amounted to $ 2.2 billion in a few hours. About 80 % of the symbols are controlled by Trump related entities, which is completely normal and not at all.

Perhaps I have heard out of gasping that the net value of Trump jumped from tens of billions overnight. These numbers are theoretical, based on the symbols that cannot be sold at the present time.

The chaos introduced Moonshot, an app that allows users to buy memecoins with Apple Pay. It rose to the top of the application store chart.

This is just one week of Trump 2.0. It should be a wild journey.
