absolutely incredible new brazenly pro-Trump anti-woke ad for #Solana, the memecoin blockchain where #TrumpCoin and most of the other garbage lives.

an ad so cringe even a lot of the crypto bros are like "ok anti-woke is over now".

crypto is a right wing extremist project. always has been, always will be.

[UPDATE] After 8 hours of constant abuse from the crypto bros on Twitter, Solana deleted the ad from the internet.

@ncweaver.skerry-tech.com note that it's all donor coins - #SOL (#Solana, backed by "crypto czar" #DavidSacks), #XRP (#Ripple, CEO is megadonor #BradGarlinghouse), and #ADA (#Cardano, created by #CharlesHoskinson). Trump only added bitcoin and ethereum a few hours later.

The price of all these tokens massively spiked 10-35% on the news as people seek to front run the American taxpayer’s “investment”.

More from the #idiocracy:

#Trump announced the names of 3 #cryptocurrencies to be included in a new US #crypto strategic reserve on Sunday, spiking the value of each in #market trading.

Trump said on social media that his January #ExecutiveOrder on #DigitalAssets would create a stockpile of currencies including XRP (#Ripple), SOL (#Solana), & ADA (#Cardano).

The assets rose 10% to 35% in trading on Sunday. Other digital assets also gained.

#Venmo co-founder launched a memecoin #JELLYJELLY to raise money for a new venture (something something video sharing something something). This kind of thing used to be considered obvious securities fraud but going forward this is how all companies are going to raise money. Why issue shares of stock (which makes you beholden to very annoying regulatory bodies like the #SEC) when you can just launch a #memecoin and make millions instantly without creating any kind of product?

Oh, and it’s pretty obvious #Solana memecoin bros on Twitter with high follower counts are getting tipped off and engaging in insider trading.

All of this is perfectly legal in a post #TrumpCoin era.

Here's a somewhat infamous video of #KyleSamani from #MulticoinCapital explaining with a straight face that it's actually GOOD for society if most 18-25 year olds get scammed out of their life's savings¹ because it will teach them lessons about risk.

Kyle Samani is buds with America's new "crypto czar" #DavidSacks - they're both investors in #Solana, the blockchain for #memecoins where the TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins were launched - and is now helping set American regulatory policy.

Continued thread

The same night of the party, the incoming president launched $TRUMP, a #MemeCoin built on the #Solana platform. Its market cap over the weekend climbed past $14 billion. Like with other meme coins, there’s no underlying product. #Trump told his followers in a social media post, “It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING!”

The website for $TRUMP says 80% of the coins are held by the #TrumpOrganization & affiliates.
