Trump and crypto flip-flops

Donald Trump is crypto’s messiah-in-chief — conflict of interest aside, he has some sweat equity in an upcoming crypto venture too. His newfound cheerleading for crypto is as baffling as it is laughable. Just a few years ago, he dismissed cryptocurrencies as a “scam” and a “threat” to the dollar. This dramatic U-turn feels more like a social media post hastily deleted after realising its unintended implications. Much like a child captivated by a new toy, will this crypto fascination fade once the next shiny object appears?
