Summary

Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency, $Trump, has led to $2 billion in investor losses.

Launched three days before his inauguration, the meme coin initially surged from $0.18 to $75, allowing early traders to profit massively.

However, its value has since plummeted to $17, leaving over 810,000 crypto wallets at a loss.

Meanwhile, Trump and his family have earned over $100 million in trading fees.

    Crypto is like backing a Kickstarter or Gamefound project: Don’t invest any money you can’t afford to loose.

    I’m going to guess a fair number of these people didn’t follow that rule.

      That’s regular crypto. This is that plush a dash of trump. I’d stick with only the first half of your advice. 😉
