The Trump Family has lost 1 billion on crypto

World Liberty's digital governance token is down about 50%
Trump Media and Technology down 70%

Bitcoin sell-off halts Trump family's crypto windfall

The Trump family has lost roughly a billion dollars, according to estimates.

Shares of Trump Media and Technology, the family's media firm that has recently waded deeper into the crypto space, tumbled 5% on Monday. The stock is down about 70% since President Trump's inauguration earlier this year.

The $TRUMP meme coin is now trading near an all-time low of $5.73, according to crypto trading platform CoinMarketCap. The digital token peaked at about $45 just ahead of inauguration. That's a loss of nearly 90% since the start of the year.

And World Liberty's digital governance token is down about 50% since its September launch.

But imagine being a regular Joe Six-Pack who invested the entire $2,434 that he'd saved up for his kid's trade-school education over the last 5 years on $Trump coins and shares in his "media" company

Hey Joe? When IQ47 says "suckers" and "losers", he isn't just talking about our soldiers, he's talking about his marks. Like YOU!

5. Exactly. Trump used other people's money and cashed out along the way.

He most likely did not lose a penny but in fact made money.

It was always a money laundering scheme.
