Jacob Silverman lays out the various #TrumpCoin scams.
this is not an attempt to talk down bitcoin. this is to highlight the need for something to be done to preserve the asset value of bitcoin.
in all, of my previous posts across various platforms for the last 3 years, I have made it clear quantum D-day is a lot quicker than one would think.
this is the summary from another author >

China Breaks New Ground in Quantum Code Cracking—Raising Alarms About Global Data Security
Introduction:
While AI advancements continue to capture public attention, a recent breakthrough in quantum cryptology by Chinese researchers may pose an even more immediate risk to global cybersecurity. Professor Wang Chao and his team at Shanghai University have factored a 90-bit RSA integer using a quantum computer, marking a major leap toward the feared “Q-Day”—the moment when quantum machines could break today’s encryption standards.
Key Details:
• The Breakthrough:
• Using a D-Wave Advantage quantum computer, Wang Chao’s team successfully factored a 90-bit RSA integer—a feat previously thought unattainable with current quantum technology.
• RSA encryption, foundational to much of modern digital security, relies on the difficulty of factoring large integers—a difficulty that quantum computing is rapidly eroding.
• What Quantum Cryptology Involves:
• Quantum cryptology merges quantum mechanics with traditional encryption techniques, enabling new forms of both code-making and code-breaking.
• The fusion of quantum computing and AI could soon unlock the ability to break nearly all classical encryption methods.
• The Implications for Q-Day:
• Experts have long warned of “Q-Day,” the point at which quantum computers will be powerful enough to render existing public-key encryption obsolete.
• This breakthrough suggests that the timeline to Q-Day may be shorter than previously predicted, placing critical infrastructure, financial systems, and personal communications at risk.
• Global Ramifications:
• Governments and corporations worldwide may need to accelerate the adoption of post-quantum cryptography—encryption methods designed to withstand quantum attacks.
• The achievement highlights the urgency for a coordinated global response to secure sensitive data against emerging quantum threats.
Why It Matters:
This milestone underscores that quantum threats are not a distant possibility but a rapidly approaching reality. With each new breakthrough, the safety of current encryption systems grows more precarious. Now more than ever, developing and implementing quantum-resistant security protocols is essential to protect the world’s digital infrastructure. China’s advance signals that the quantum race is heating up—and the time to act is now.

Just had a heartwarming thought:
One awesome thing about #crypto currencies, is that despite silly claims to the contrary, they can very easily lose 100% of their value, having no underlying asset of any value: it merely takes a wind change, and for a few major economies to ban all crypto exchanges.
Overnight, a whole crop of fascist grifters (Trump especially) would own nothing.

There’s no limit to the heinous things Trump will do to profiteer. Will this tax evading, #crypto fraudster be his next pardon?
“Roger Stone says he's not lobbying Trump on behalf of his new client, Roger Ver, aka "Bitcoin Jesus."
But crypto enthusiasts have called on Trump to pardon Ver *the $600k Ver paid Stone is a lot of money for 2 mos. of congressional lobbying +strategic advice to lawyers.”

"Trump is continuing to enrich himself through his various crypto projects, most recently attempting to pump the price of his TRUMP memecoin by enticing the top 220 holders with invitations to a private dinner with him at his Washington, DC golf course. The top 25 of those receive an “Exclusive Reception before Dinner with YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT!” and a “Special VIP Tour”.
It seems to be working: as of writing, the second entry on the leaderboard is a wallet that purchased 400,000 $TRUMP shortly after the announcement for around $5.3 million.1 Another later purchaser achieved the #3 spot by purchasing over 650,000 $TRUMP for a whopping $8 million — interestingly, funded by a Binance account, suggesting that the wallet holder is not based in the US.2
$8 million in $TRUMP purchases, funded by a Binance transfer
The fourth-place spot is also occupied by a wallet that was funded by Binance, which purchased $3 million in $TRUMP. In first place is Justin Sun, who has used the TRUMP holdings belonging to his HTX cryptocurrency exchange, notionally priced at $14.6 million, to secure an invite."

Speaking of bog standard corruption; Trump found a way to cut out the messy step of making people who want to buy access to the President rent a bunch of hotel rooms. The scheme, which is remarkably crass, involves promising the top holders of Trump's meme coin a dinner with the president to talk about cyrpto; with the top 25 holders getting a more intimate dinner, presumably at which point they will be able to talk with Trump directly. If that sounds like price support for Trump's stupid meme coin and selling access to the president to the highest bidder to you, it's because the scheme is designed to accomplish precisely that.
Trump's meme coin, which had fizzled in value, surges after offer of dinner with the president
"President Trump's meme coin, which had slumped 88% from its most recent high, got a boost Wednesday after its website invited the top 220 holders of the digital token to an "intimate private dinner" with the president.
After the dinner offer was posted on the $TRUMP meme coin website and X account, the value of the meme coin surged as much as $5.32, or 58%, to $14.32 on Wednesday afternoon. That gain only partially erased the meme coin's decline in value, which hit a peak of $75.35 on January 19 the day before Mr. Trump's inauguration.
The dinner offer promises $TRUMP coin investors the opportunity to "Hear close-up, from President Trump, about the future of Crypto!" Mr. Trump, who has vowed to turn the U.S. into the cryptocurrency capital of the world, has also pushed his own ventures into the realm of digital products, issuing everything from NFTs billed as "Trump digital trading cards" to a cryptocurrency platform called World Liberty Financial."
I mean on some level you almost have to hand it to the Klepto Kaiser here; he finally found a rock solid use case for an essentially worthless crypto product - facilitating open political corruption! Given the semi-clandestine nature of crypto-currency markets, it's hard to get a clear picture of precisely how much money Downmarket Mussolini has made from his crypto scams since taking office, but most experts in the field peg it as in the order of "hundreds of millions of dollars." I'm under no illusions about financial ties to billionaires among the "corrupt Democrats" Trump defeated last fall to return to the White House, but I'm willing to bet Joe Biden never ran a scam that let him stack up nine figure piles of cheddar.
Of course in the grand scheme of things, I think it's a lot more important to focus on the Trump regime's fascism, than its corruption. But given that these guys ran to power and claim to be acting on a platform of fighting corruption, as seemingly all modern fascist movements do, it's probably noteworthy that they're inventing new ways to do bribery in real time, only a few months into Trump's second term.
North Korean hackers are posing as crypto companies to trick job seekers into downloading malware. Fake firms, AI-generated profiles, and bogus interviews are all part of the scam.
