The president of Argentina has apparently done a gigantic rug pull on his own citizens after announcing the launch of a cryptocurrency token which was immediately rugged by insiders after running up a huge valuation. It was unclear whether Milei was hacked or personally directed it but he later posted on X denouncing critics of the launch. This is much worse than a meme coin because he claimed the coin would have utility and even help the Argentinian economy. Crypto has unfortunately helped inaugurate a new golden age of elite theft https://cryptobriefing.com/digital-token-launch-libra/

Was just listening to a podcast and the thought: Countries should give up CBDCs and just do memecoins. People want to gamble. As much as it probably was a rug pull, its hilarious that anyone even bought this grift.
