The former president of the United States, by the time you read this, the new president of the United States, has made up a fictional currency — and it was worth quite a lot of money for some time. But by the time you read this, it might be worthless.
His wife, the former first lady of the United States — by the time you read this, the current first lady of the United States — afterwards made up her own fake currency, and that spiked in value, crashing the former president’s fake currency. Perhaps by the time you read this, that, too, will be worthless.
Neither of those people nor the other who were behind these tokens will go to prison. They will never be investigated. They will never be charged nor questioned nor suffer any consequences for making from whole cloth magic internet money designed to con their fans, their supporters, their most dedicated, obsessive admirers and partisans.
