One of many issues to follow under Trump II: Cryptocurrency

It starts today at noon. Donald Trump’s second term as president. There’s going to be so many issues and controversies to follow over the next four years, from immigration to Ukraine to the state of American democracy. Here’s a business issue to put on your watch list: cryptocurrency. … The president-elect is now hawking his very own cryptocurrency token, as the AP reports, and it’s disturbing even some of the most enthusiastic cryptocurrency enthusiasts, as Politco reports. … But I’m going to try to keep an open mind about Trump. I don’t want to be one of those who finds outrage (or feigns outrage) to everything he says and does. I’m tired of that first-term, semi-hysterical approach. But I gotta say: he sure has started his second term in a weird way! … Aha! That’s not outrage. It’s calm and cool cynicism.
