Trump's crypto platform falters on first day of sales

Trump's crypto platform falters on first day of sales (Agence France-Presse)

Former US president Donald Trump's cryptocurrency platform had a faltering sales launch Tuesday, with only a fraction of its digital tokens that went on the market finding a buyer.

The Republican candidate announced in mid-September that he, along with his sons and entrepreneurs, would launch the platform named World Liberty Financial.

Some 20 billion digital tokens, priced at 1.5 cents each, were offered by the company -- a total value of $300 million -- but just three percent had been purchased by Tuesday evening.

Many observers blamed the low sales on technical problems, as the company's website suffered outages earlier in the day.

I want me some digital currency from a company that has ‘technical issues’ on its very first day in business.
