“He’s making crypto look bad.” No you assholes, he’s just being honest and transparent (for once) about what a scam and grift this entire space is, and using it to boost his own bottom line. That doesn’t make it right, but what do you expect? You helped put a known conman into office, and you really expected him to let you have a monopoly on the marks (whoops, sorry… I mean “investors”). Please.
