It was meant to. It was just a way to accept bribes.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

In May, the Financial Times published an investigation into Melania Trump’s meme coin, revealing that a coterie of traders reaped nearly $100 million by buying $MELANIA coin minutes before it was publicly announced, before off-loading most of their holdings after its value spiked following the announcement.
The first lady’s meme coin is now worth less than a quarter of a dollar.
I don’t feel bad for the rubes who got taken by this.
The SEC is in the process of changing the rules around 401ks and Pensions, such that these big funds can include cryptocurrency in their portfolios.
Won't be long before we're all holding the bag on these Shitcoins.
Eh, that would be like packing your 401k with penny stocks. Seems unlikely.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
I'm sure there will be another pump (and subsequent dump) the next time Trump wants a bribe.
Anyone who bought that shit deserves to lose their money
Probably not the first "pump and dump" either of them has been a part of...
She’s worse in business deals than Trump.
Eh, this was always the goal. I'd say they played it perfectly, took billions from their deluded cult followers to enrich themselves.
Which is ironically quite the accomplishment!
If she's also into child fucking, she could even be president
It wasn't a business deal. It was a fraud she profited from.
There is a scheduled unlocking of the coins held by the individuals who created the coins.
They still hold a massive number of coins, the next major unlock is in January.
Expect some pump scheme leading up to that moment so they can dump the coins at an elevated value.
The schedule goes into 2028. This is all public information but somehow the news never bothers to include it. This knowledge is how one extracts value from the uninformed.
Oh no how unfortunate.
lol grifters gonna grift. make m'uricah great again!
