Breaking News: Trump’s Crypto Crusade Gets Its New Commander! 🤔🚀

According to the ever-reliable (read: slightly unpredictable) Bloomberg, Trump has sent what might be the most exciting Senate mail since the discovery of the internet-nominating Selig for a role that sounds like a cross between a spaceship captain and a digital wizard.

Such ease of access! One can only imagine the possibilities… and the potential for a decidedly brisk trade across the more than 300,000 FX derivative markets. Truly, a daring scheme!
