So sad

From NBC news: First White House crypto summit leaves some investors unhappy.

The price of bitcoin dropped even as "crypto czar" David Sacks doubled down on Trump's goal to create a "strategic bitcoin reserve."

They're "unhappy", y'all.

to boost widespread adoption and flow of funds into the asset class.

Is it possible that Trump is suspicious of being scammed himself by these enthusiasts?

That would be pretty funny if true.

It's likely Trump wants to be compensated for his efforts in a way which he can see in his USD bank balances.

It's 100 percent grift these days.
