Here's Everything Wrong With Trump's Crypto Meme Coins

The Trump family's new crypto meme coins are an ethical disaster and
ripe for corruption -- and they could cost his supporters dearly

What the heck is the use case for $TRUMP? If this really is a
collectible, like a baseball card, it is difficult to imagine a
practical use for $TRUMP other than enjoyment (and you can enjoy the
image online and the sideshow for free). You can enjoy them and sell
them to other collectors, but you cannot use them in the economy. You
could own a $12 million Mickey Mantle card, but you cannot buy a
cheeseburger with it. What does being the crypto capital of the world
mean if it is only based on gambling on unregulated internet memes?
