This morning’s NYT had [an article about the conmen](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/07/us/politics/donald-trump-crypto-2024-campaign.html) that Trump is in bed with on his crypto bullshit. “I am shocked!” said nobody ever. ---

He doesn’t know, and does not want to know what Starlink is. Could you imagine trying to explain crypto to Trump? Oh he’s gonna fuck up this venture just like everything else. If he already hasn’t screwed it up. ---

As long as he sucks his profit out before the venture folds, he hasn’t screwed up. That’s pretty much the business model. ---

My theory is that it was the FTX collapse that got Trump interested in crypto. Donald saw the headlines of $8 billion being stolen, and thought, how can I get in that action? ---
