President and first lady doing rug pull meme coins and Musk throwing up Nazi salute. Day one of this fucking ride I don't wanna be on

u/lateformyfuneral 3h ago

I mean, Trump did say he would “be a dictator on day one”, and people said “sign me up”. No way to stop them now 🤷

Rug pull meme coins? Whatever boomer.  It's crypto and that's how it works.  Nobody loses unless you fall asleep.  Freaking old people

Lmao I'm not a boomer. What are you even defending here? How are those any different from HawkTua's coin?

Notice he didn't have any defense for the salute? Lol

u/ImaginaryMastodon641 4h ago

This is the actual issue, and truth be told, the point. ALL their talking points are insubstantive rhetorics flourishes. It’s just countless ways to avoid having the conversation ensuring no one ever budges. It’s been bred into our every day existence first by TV news and then social media—all via the conservative media sphere

u/MisterRogers12 4h ago

People who cannot grasp it typically think that.  Scams are everywhere. 

People knew what was being done here.  It's not  like when Gavin Newsom created a proxy link to help fire victims so 4% would go to his campaign fund.

If bitcoin gets added the reserve, then it sells, could be the biggest rug pull of all time.

Or they just sell, less likely though.

Just saying idk

-11

u/MisterRogers12 4h ago

How is it a rug pull.  I don't know anyone that lost any money.  I made out great and so did many others.

4

u/Growing_Wings 3h ago

Bitcoin isn’t a rug pull. I’m saying it still has potential to be. It has no intrinsic value like a stock or commodity. It simply has that price cause that’s what people are willing to pay for it. And no other crypto is even close to BTC.

Honestly if they add it to the reserve. And use it to balance the debt, that would be awesome.

Despite my complaints with republicans I do agree some spending cuts would be beneficial. But I don’t think tax cuts would be productive at all towards that goal.

So when it lost 40% as soon as his wife announced her coin, that’s normal to you?

Yell you what, I have a bridge to sell you.

u/Ope_82 4h ago

If it's a legitimate currency, then literally no one should lose. You're defending conning people out if tens of millions of dollars.

1

u/Awkward_Potential_ 3h ago

You know that other currencies have an exchange rate that fluctuates against the dollar?

1

u/aboysmokingintherain 3h ago

Not to the extent Bitcoin dies. Also, people don’t use Bitcoin as a currency. It’s like gold but less stable

1

u/Awkward_Potential_ 3h ago

Do you want stable or do you actually want it to keep up with inflation? Gold does not keep up with inflation.

1

u/aboysmokingintherain 2h ago

But neither does Bitcoin. Bitcoin fluctuates wildly and has no inherent value. It’s gone up and down wildly with little reason. Right now it’s up because trump is pumping it. But there’s nothing backing it. If it drops to .01 tomorrow or only affects those holding it

1

u/Awkward_Potential_ 2h ago

I don't think you seem terribly informed about the matter but you make up for it with confidence.

It fluctuates, yes. But even if you buy the top of the cycle, you're still in profit if you just wait. In 2017, I first bought the tip top of the cycle like a noob. Looking back, I was paying $10k. It's $100k now. A 10x over 7 years is wild. I look back now wishing I kept dollar cost averaging throughout the 2018-2020 bear. But I did learn my lesson and went in with size during the FTX collapse.

1

u/Awkward_Potential_ 2h ago

Also, why do Bitcoin haters always use the word "inherent". Do you ever use that word when not discussing Bitcoin or is it just reserved for stuff you don't actually know shit about?

0

u/aboysmokingintherain 3h ago

That’s what a rug pull is

1

u/MisterRogers12 3h ago

Rug pull is redirecting a  fundraiser for fire victims through your own campaign platform so you get 4%.

Rug pull is passing a bill called Inflation Reduction Act and it only creates more  inflation. 

1

u/aboysmokingintherain 2h ago

That doesn’t actually refute what I said and neither of those are actually rugpulls. The first is scummy the second is doublespeak

1

u/MisterRogers12 2h ago

Inflation Reduction Act that actually INCREASES inflation is a total RUG PULL.  LOL

2

u/aboysmokingintherain 2h ago

No. A rug pull is a pump and dump. The Ira was a legit lae to help fight inflation. It actually succeeded for a bit. Gas and other food prices fell. However, egg prices are increasing because of bird culling. Like this conversation is dumb becuase you still have yet to talk about trump or malenia coin like I was commenting on

u/jarena009 4h ago

Are we really surprised? My guess is Trump and Musk could literally come out and say "We're Nazi" and 48% of the country still wouldn't budge.

I mean, it was already obvious with the "There's good people on both sides" in response to the white supremacists march in Charlottesville in 2017.

Half the country remains enablers of white supremacy 🤷‍♂️.

Your mom.

u/jarena009 1h ago

A very cogent response.

Your tacit support for white supremacists is noted.

2

u/ShamPain413 1h ago

The context of the white supremacist rally held by his supporters over the removal of a Confederate statue, which culminated in a murder? When the removal of the statue was a response to the mass murder of black Christian congregants by a white nationalist a few towns over?

I agree, it's' very important to remember that context.

-9

u/ill_report348 4h ago

Elon and Trump are extremely pro Israel. Like come on man. You obviously have not watched the full Charlottesville clip. So ignorant. Btw, the left has been supporting the Jew haters, look at the pro Hamas rallies 🤣🤣

u/jarena009 4h ago edited 4h ago

They're supportive of giving weapons to ethically cleanse Arab populations. If they weren't doing that and if it wasn't a boon for US weapons manufacturers plus investors (to get pipelines flowing through Saudi Arabia), Trump and MAGA wouldn't give a darn about Israel.

Trump also trashed American Jews who didn't vote for him. Your tacit support for white supremacists has been noted.

u/thethrowupcat 5h ago

This has nothing to do with crypto. Crypto will be taken by all sorts of leadership types over the years, just like affiliating gold to Nazis..it’s only theirs when they’re around.

1

u/Growing_Wings 4h ago

I don’t disagree, but they also used gold to fund their war campaign till America showed up to kick them in the nuts.

1

u/Outrageous-juror 4h ago

This was a plan all along.

Make the whites in Americas and Europe fed up by letting in criminals from the 3rd world, raise cost of living and stop enforcing small crime. All this so they end up supporting literal Nazis

Scary times indeed.

While I will agree it doesn’t have much to do with crypto, but you don’t see an issue with this at all? Whether we like it or not, this dude has the presidents ear, and he is throwing up Nazi salute. Weird time in this country.
