The feast has been on going for about a decade

That was but an appetizer.

They honestly thought that the idiot who thinks Hannibal Lecter is real would understand anything about cryptocurrency beyond "I can fleece more rubes"?

I also don't understand this. Trump is known to be a conman. It was so obvious that he will do this. Was the alternative actually that bad?

Hannibal Lecter would feed Trump to his supporters, literally.

Because he himself wouldn't try to eat that disgusting sack of fat and diarrhea.

What!? You're telling me Trump didn't win because he had the fictitious deceased (?) cannibal serial killer vote locked down?

I love just how completely delusional this dude is. "building anything serious" with crypto, "making a mockery of this industry" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another dude throws "they don't have your interests in mind" - bitch, name one crypto asshole who does.

This is not a grift against the early adopters. This is a pathway to legalized bribery as any transaction is visible on the blockchain and any major coinholder can choose to reveal who they are to Trump for increased access. Remember it is illegal for Trump to take foreign money but anyone can buy his crypto.

This is what it took to be concerned?

What is a little grift between friends.
