Trump, Cryptocurrency, and the Real Winners and Losers


Is Trump selling access to the administration in exchange for cryptocoins? On today’s episode of “Uncanny Valley,” we talk about the ethical concerns associated with TRUMP coin.

The dinner has now been officially set for May 22, and it is raising ethical and constitutional concerns, with many pointing out that the president is effectively selling access to his administration, but that's just the beginning of how Trump's ongoing business ventures are pushing the line between money and politics. So, "a luxury hotel in Dubai, a second high-end residential tower in Saudi Arabia, two cryptocurrency ventures based in the United States, a new golf course and villa complex in Qatar, and a new private club in Washington." Lauren Goode: This is what I was saying earlier too, in that if we had an administration on either side of the political aisle that was committed to embracing the technology that we live with now, that is not going away, whether it is content moderation issues, policies around AI, or really seriously evaluating the role of cryptocurrency in the market, I think that that would be a valiant thing to do.
