    Wow, I’m so shocked that an administration of thieves and grifters are helping other thieves and grifters.

        So you’re assuming that no one in Trump’s circle made any trades in advance of yesterday’s tariff pause cancellation? Do you know the exponential return you could get on a short-term option when the underlying investment moves 20% in a day?

        They do

        But as it needs to go into their private pocket, they manipulate the market and already spare regulations, so they have a free go and cash in

        Wouldn’t help them, when the nation gets the many due to sane profit taxing and fraud investigations

      To a certain extent, honor among thieves typically only exists within their own group.

      The administration is setting things up so their grifters won’t get charged.

      If someone grifted them, the FBI would absolutely investigate them.

    So the legislative, executive, and the judicial is in cahoots. The Constitution is dead, and there’s no longer any moral or legal basis for the states to remain in the union

      This action is BECAUSE they investigated themselves. Just plugging all the leaks now.

      Tomorrow is a better day…for them.

        There are a lot of us working to make sure they don’t get better and better days. And the pressure is growing from all sides. They can’t operate with impunity forever, and they have awoken a sleeping giant with all these service cuts that their base actually depends on (even though they were too stupid to know it).

    Should the DOJ get involved in your unregulated financial market? Is anyone buying crypto thinking they are getting a real financial product?

      Bitcoin is basically the only one that isn’t totally fraudulent, though they’ve seemingly found ways to manipulate it.

      Don’t associate it with fElon.

    You gotta remember capital controls the state, not vice versa.

    If capitalists can gain more power by converting to crypto and abandoning state currencies, they’ll do it.

    This is a big part of why crypto keeps going.
