everyone i’ve seen on FC sounds positive or wants to remain neutral about $TRUMP. i’ve only seen @cyberyuyu speak out about how gross it is on X/Twitter.

i know i’m not the only one here totally disgusted and turned off by the crypto world rn lol

I’ve seen criticism on here and twitter, as well as some euphoria on the flip side.

I don’t think anyone thinks that the token distribution is good or that it’s some wonderful meaningful project. it feels gross and grifty.

I think most positive or neutral voices are simply excited that crypto is center stage among the concerns of the incoming administration, as opposed to being unfairly targeted by politically motivated enforcement actions that haven’t solved much of anything (e.g. FTX allowed to happen, Coinbase taken to court).

in addition to euphoria from number go up, the desire for regulatory clarity is what’s coming through here imo. it’s unfortunate that this progress has resulted in some questionable alliances along the way.

Well said. It’s a complex situation—balancing excitement for regulatory clarity with discomfort around the methods and alliances that got us here. Progress often comes with trade-offs, but it’s important to keep calling out the ‘grifty’ aspects so we don’t lose sight of the bigger picture.
