Trump Family Crypto Bash Convenes Wall Street's New Believers

[lostincalifornia]

Wall Street executives and government officials gathered in Mar-a-Lago’s gilded ballroom for a conference hosted by the Trump family’s cryptocurrency platform — underscoring how digital assets have become both a policy priority and personal profit center in President Donald Trump’s second term.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer David Solomon was at Wednesday’s day-long event, completing a conversion from crypto skeptic to Bitcoin holder. He was joined by pardoned felon and billionaire Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, along with the heads of the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq and current and former financial regulators.

The gathering, hosted by the Trumps’ World Liberty Financial, captured a sea change in attitudes toward crypto from Capitol Hill to the boardrooms of America’s biggest banks.

That shift is providing a boost to the first family’s own wealth. During Trump’s first year back in office, his family’s fortune has grown by more than $1 billion from new crypto ventures, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index — a sum more than three times the value of Mar-a-Lago itself.

If anything is able to topple this administration, I wouldn't be surprised if this is part of it, and the elaborate con job that a computer generated currency represents.

It reminds me how they couldn't convict Al Capone on the murder, extortion, etc. crimes he had committed, but his downfall was because of income tax invasion.

That some who were conned early on by ts crypto grift were taken them to court? Or was that a different crypto grift?
