You and I are free to not buy it, but that doesn't mean Russia or b Saudi's or China or Zuckerberg isn't going to buy a bunch to influence our president

Rather than regulate crypto, it might have been better to not elect him in the first place.

Trust me, I'd be a lot happier if that had happened.

Are we really free not to be part of it ?

This administration is also creating a sovereign wealth fund, which trump will exercise significant control over, I would be shocked if crypto and his coins specifically are not included.

We are paying for it all one way or another, either with taxes or more likely higher inflation.

A sitting president profiting off the presidency is a hall mark of a corrupt state. Doing it so openly suggests there's nothing stopping from doing so in much subtler ways too.

Doing it openly demonstrates that he thinks a lot of people (namely, people who voted for him) won't have any problem with it. In that case a corrupt state is not the biggest problem.
