      Yeah, I don’t get this article. It did what any memecoin does and probably made Trump tons of money.

        Meme coins are snake oil and where there is snake oil, there’s a snake oil salesman. Someone got all that money.

      Kind of, but each transaction typically incurs fees, which can be a source of revenue for Trump and his low-effort creators and also the platforms facilitating these trades. The more active the trading, the more fees are generated. It’s all hype, like chumming the waters around MAGA grifters.
