"There’s something darkly fitting about these two forces, Silicon Valley and Trump, conjoining so amicably right now. The tech industry has never been bigger, or richer, or piloted by wealthier or more influential billionaires. Crypto, as close to a purely speculative instrument of capital as exists, is being hyper-charged. Trump, of course, has no regard for rules or standards; he respects only the accrual of power and wealth. The digital casino is open, there are no house rules apart from ‘don't insult the boss’, and there are certainly no guarantees. Anyone who gets screwed is either a loser or a sucker or shouldn’t have been there in the first place. "
