In 6 months itll be back up at all time highs, and the same people will be screaming that trumps insider trading 😂
I hope they put all their money into bitcoin and when it goes to zero I'll laugh my a** off.
And you think they're there to represent you. Haha.
Let’s not forget blow is Taco Junior’s specialty.
Beavis and Butthead buy Buttcoin.
I thought he was a stable genius!
How could this be???
All they had to do was hold. It'll go back up eventually.
They dare call it a currency with that kind of volatility?
Always great to see another example of him being terrible at business.
Greed 😂
Thanks for laughs Forbes. Feel good story of the day.
Thanks for the cash! Number go up!
Sooooo, they took money they didn’t have and invested in something that has no intrinsic value.
👍🏼😎
Same ding dong who bankrupted 2 casinos 🤣
Uday and Qusay are even worse businessmen than their father, DJT.
how not smart….
This is a feel good story; I love it!
Wow! I read the comments. So sad. Written by sad and ignorant people. Have you built anything in your life worth over $2 billion? Bet not or you wouldn't be posting comments on YouTube. If they would have made a Billion, you would have been on here screaming your lungs out about that. No mention from you of all the career politicians worth tens of millions that have never built or created anything.
Crypto currencies officially became a scam once the Trumps got involved
You fools fall for this. He's made billions, not lost. You just don't know about it.
Some one needs to tally how much money he scammed
Blatant corruption in broad day light.
Haha
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!
Looooooser!
Africa, Persia,… IBM skiff at NARA, above presidential clearance.
Interesting, maybe there is a god after all 😂
Bwah-ha-ha…. Burn baby, burn!
Considering the number of cons and whitewashed bribes these people are involved in, this family of grifters is still far, far ahead.
They'll figure out to light it all up, and lose everything. They'll make it back through corruption, no problem, like before. Welcome to America.
Funny how it became a long term investment 😂
Biggest RugPull of the Century
First time I've liked crypto.
