A handy list of large crypto donors to Trump’s inauguration fund, which is basically an unregulated pot of money the president can do whatever he wants with. A few translations are in order:

* Circle = world’s 2nd largest stablecoin after Tether (USDC), closely linked to #Coinbase
* Foris Dax = Crypto[.]Com
* Fred Ehrsam = #Paradigm (and co-founder of Coinbase)
* #Payward = #Kraken
* #KyleSamani = #MulticoinCapital
* #HaydenAdams = #Uniswap (more on Uniswap: cryptadamus.substack.com/p/of-)
* Charles Cascarilla = #Paxos, the stablecoin issuer behind the #Binance stablecoin #BUSD that was summarily executed by regulators for #moneylaundering
* Yuga Labs = #BoredApeYachtClub (the infamous monkey JPGs)

Table of Trump's biggest inaugural crypto donors, totaling $18 million.

Is #TikTok banned in the #UnitedStates or not? Asking for a friend who deleted the app when its #Chinese CEO was invited to an inauguration that the #American public was excluded from.

Congress banned it, and #DonaldTheDeplorable paused it on the #inauguration of #AmericanCarnage2.0, but the law banning it only allows a pause “if there’s evidence that negotiations for ByteDance to divest are underway”, which there is not. 🤷🏻‍♂️ forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/

#HowardLutnick (part owner of #Tether, chairman of the #Trump transition team, billionaire owner of #CantorFitzgerald, and future Commerce Secretary of the US) made $216 million from Cantor last year as well as ~$128 million from other sources (mostly Newmark Group and BGC Group).. He's also an executive or board member of 818 different organizations (mostly small LLCs).

* Here's his financial disclosure form: legacy.www.documentcloud.org/d
* I wrote a long thing about Lutnick and Tether: universeodon.com/@cryptadamist

$200 million is a lot of blood money...

Table showing lutnick made $200 million frmo Cantor Fitzgerald, $16 million from Cantor Fitzgerald securities, and $35 million from Newmark Group.

“In one short hymn, the entire inaugural address …Trump gave .. was ripped apart, using the voices..from the throats of everyone sitting around him…prayers offered by folks from all kinds of religious traditions – Christians of various denominations, as well as Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and Sikh leaders. These prayers were filled with words like “all” and “every” to paint a picture of our common life together”

Anyone who has ever watched an episode of #HogansHeroes knows exactly what salute #ElonMusk gave during the #inauguration. It was a #Nazi salute. This is the nation that defeated the Nazis. The greatest generation did not lay down their lives to have Nazis running our government and cutting their benefits. The media needs to stop apologizing and sanitizing Musk's actions. We have to call it what it is and we have to oppose it together. This is the government of, for, and by the people. We are the people. We are not Nazis. Let's make sure all of our elected officials know this.

So much for big, beautiful crowds —
"According to Nielsen on Tuesday, the inauguration drew 24.59 million viewers, compared to 33.76 million for Biden’s 2021 inauguration and 30.64 million for Trump’s first in 2021. The figures are across 15 networks and are an average from the 10:30 a.m.-7 p.m. ET time frame."
