I’ve had an interesting life.

Two decades in Asia working and building my manufacturing company. Got into crypto early. Running those two ventures and a cattle ranch in Hawaii now.

Very arigato about it all.

Hoya Saxa and Quid Facere Audere!
I’ll be pleasantly surprised if:

Trump manages to have lower deficits than his predecessor.

Trump manages to end the war in Ukraine in a manner Ukraine accepts.

Trump manages to get drug cartels recognized as terrorist organizations, both in the U.S. and among other nations.

When looking ba k, focus first on whether or not he accomplished them, and then only talk about why or why not he was able to do it.

If you’re not Trump fan, do the same in reverse. Post 3-5 things that you’ll be pleasantly surprised if he does.

I’ll even go first.

MAGA at this point is simply Make America Grifty Again. It’s the robber barons on steroids, run by a guy who swings Presidential immunity around while stacking courts with judges who now owe him one.

Yay.

That one’s cashed out a few tens of millions more.

Without a doubt, today is the single biggest grift that has ever occurred in crypto, and possibly in the history of the world.

It’s going to end very, very badly for 90% of the people involved.

Edit: This is a cross-post, and in the time it took me to getting the post here, the price is up to $61.5, giving Trump more than $55 billion.

He’s also cashed out enough to pay back the $1 million initial deposit and pocket ~$20 million — And that’s not including the mystery wallet above.

We don’t know for sure, and if they’re smart we’ll never know, but it has to be someone with $1,000,000 ready cash and who had control over the timing of both the release of the coin and the announcement of it.

Welcome, President Grift, to the arena.
