And I'll be curious to see if that endures or not. He's sort of trying to play it off as like, you know, oh, everyone knows crypto is risky. He said something, he tried to do this like damage control interview on TV where he said that basically like the people who bought this token knew they were playing Russian roulette and they got the bullet, which is a wild thing to say. Jesus Christ.
Yeah, that's just a nutty thing to say, but also very in character for him. And, you know, he said something in that interview to the effect of, like, you know, only a couple thousand people lost money. What's the chances that those people were even Argentinian? Like, we shouldn't even care if they were, you know, not Argentinian.
Yeah, that's just a nutty thing to say, but also very in character for him.

And so, you know, it's sort of interesting to watch him try to downplay this. It's like, well, yeah, of course people lost money. It's a scam. You know, it's like, yeah, I guess. Yeah.
And so, you know, it's sort of interesting to watch him try to downplay this. It's like, well, yeah, of course people lost money. It's a scam. You know, it's like, yeah, I guess. Yeah.

Yeah. It's really interesting to see like what causes crypto people to turn on you because it did happen in a much more limited way with Trump where, you know, the U.S.

crypto movement, I guess that's not the right word for it, but the industry or the crypto world had really supported Trump very heavily and, you know, they had donated to him, but there was also this widespread belief among people who traded crypto that Trump was going to be good for crypto. He was going to cause crypto prices to go up.

He was going to fix all these regulations that they thought were holding the industry back and all this stuff. And then when Trump came out and launched a meme coin, some of his most devoted fans among the crypto community were horrified by it. And they really responded in a way that I think a lot of people didn't expect, which was like, I can't believe he's doing this grifty meme coin.

okay, you're allowed to do scams and, you know, run your government in a way that personally benefits you as long as it's not reflecting poorly on us and it's not taking money from us.
