@cdarwin@c.imNearly 1 million people who bought Donald Trump’s memecoin have lost money through the end of June, according to a report by the cryptocurrency analytics firm Nansen.
Their losses total $3.81 billion.
The analytics firm’s assessment was calculated this week after Trump signed an annual financial disclosure showing that he walked away with a $636 million payout on the same crypto bet,
part of a haul of at least $2.2 billion from all of his business ventures in 2025.

@bici@mastodon.socialDear American Cousins. Happy July 4th:
"On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that Mr. Trump has personally pulled in at least US$2.2-billion since his return to office, more than half of which came from his family’s cryptocurrency business, which he has promoted and facilitated as President. The scale of personal enrichment that has taken place is mind-boggling, the level of audacity inconceivable."

@cdarwin@c.imCryptocurrency has stopped being a finance story.
In 2026 it's a political-money machine
- woven into our elections, our regulators, the President's family balance sheet, and the everyday plumbing of how Americans get paid, borrow, and save.
You can decide never to buy a single token and still be exposed to the fallout.

@inthehands@hachyderm.ioHey Minnesota, just a reminder that Angie Craig is:
- a data center cheerleader
- and a cryptocurrency sell-out
- whose PAC has been using gen AI to make fake images of her opponent
- and who has just crap tons of big money behind her
- which is how she's carpet-bombing the state with junk texts and ads.
Stay informed, stay safe, stay crypto-bro-free.
