I've mentioned this before, but one thing I've been closely watching for is when crypto people begin to distance themselves from Trump.

![ Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has also clearly been trying to woo Trump, claiming very shortly after the election that he was “going to be spending quite a bit of time working with lawmakers in Washington DC and quite a bit of time with members of the administration to help foster and facilitate with other key leaders in industry the crypto policy”.6 While he has continued to boast vaguely about meetings with various influential figures, winkingly describing a “VIP dinner” where “diet coke will certainly be on [the menu]”, there’s been little outside confirmation that he’s had much access to the Trump administration. ](https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/115/891/393/270/455/586/original/bdcf23e3cf1d2f5d.png)
The crypto industry's bet on Trump is collapsing in real time.
Charles Hoskinson—Ethereum co-founder and Cardano creator who vocally supported Trump in 2024—now says Trump made US crypto "worse than under Biden." He's demanding Trump's crypto czar resign and claims he personally lost $2.5B.
What happened?
• Trump's $TRUMP memecoin crashed 80%, destroying bipartisan support for legislation
• The CLARITY Act (crypto's key regulatory bill) is stalled in Senate
• Most crypto tokens fell 40-50% since Trump took office
• Record government shutdown paralyzed Congressional work
The irony: crypto leaders courted Trump expecting a boom. Instead they got memecoins, political toxicity, and legislative gridlock.
Hoskinson's assessment is devastating: "We thought the government would pump our bags. Instead they pulled a rugpull scam on us."

@molly0xfff I think you're very smart to keep an eye on this as a part of everything you do, but what does it mean for them to "distance themselves?"
Is this just more of "he's not delivering in his promises" or is there something bigger going on? The #cryptocurrency field is so chaotic that I can't really make heads or tails on a normal day. Add in presidential weigh-in and investment, however, and I'm really lost as to what anything really means.

“WAGMI” — we're all gonna make it — was crypto's 2021 rallying cry. But those with wealth and power knew it was a lie, and that “all” just meant them. My latest traces the last five years from hype to technoligarchy — and why they're not all gonna make it either.
