Cardano's founder has sharply criticized the current policy ecosystem. He pointed out that by allowing projects like Trump Coin to exist, those in power are essentially opening the door to predatory behavior.



This view touches on a core pain point: when political figures participate in the crypto ecosystem, there is often a lack of adequate risk prevention mechanisms. For example, memecoins endorsed by political figures can easily become tools for pump-and-dump schemes, with ordinary investors bearing the brunt.

He further noted that the existing bipartisan regulatory consensus is disintegrating. This means the crypto industry has lost a relatively rational regulatory framework acceptable to both parties. Without such a framework, the market is prone to chaos—on one hand, speculative bubbles keep inflating, and on the other, genuine projects are affected.

This issue is no small matter for the entire industry. When politics and crypto intersect,利益驱动 often outweighs technical rationality. Finding a balance between open innovation and investor protection is the key.

It's the same political money-grabbing show again, really disgusting. When politician coins come out, you should just run, there's nothing more to say. This guy from Cardano is right, once the regulatory framework collapses, the retail investors suffer. After this wave of Trump coins, another wave comes, the套路 is all the same. Who dares to play in an ecosystem with no bottom line? Truly legitimate projects end up getting dragged into the pit.

The moment political coins appeared, I knew this was going to be bad. Even people are endorsing the harvest, so what regulatory consensus are we talking about?

Another "my most rational" argument, Trump Coin is just Trump Coin, why make a fuss about it? Political memes are everywhere, isn't this just a reflection of market freedom? Why must there be parental supervision? Cross-party consensus? Laughs, do people still believe in that these days? Play around, but don’t blame all the problems on politicians... Why not say the exchange barriers are too low? Regulatory frameworks are just a pile of paper, it’s faster to vote with your feet. To put it nicely, it’s open innovation; to be blunt, it’s a mess, and retail investors are always the ones paying the price. This guy is easy to talk about but not responsible for his own project.

Politicians issuing their own tokens is just outrageous. There is no proper permission control mechanism in place, making it as dangerous as those DeFi protocols I've seen with reentrancy vulnerabilities. The regulatory framework has collapsed, and retail investors can only be the victims.

Oh no, Trump's coin really can't hold up anymore, the speed of cutting leeks is faster than printing money. Losing the regulatory consensus is the result of this; good projects are being crushed. Politicians playing with coins is like letting a fox watch the henhouse, what can we expect? Real builders are dragged down by these trash coins, and our ecosystem is being ruined like this. This is why no one trusts coin anymore, it's all just a game of利益.

As soon as political coins appeared, I knew something was going to happen... The real problem is the collapse of the regulatory framework. Retail investors need to be even more cautious now.

Political coins have arrived, and the fate of retail investors is clear. Once the regulatory framework collapses, retail investors become ATMs.

Manipulating coins to harvest retail investors, this trick is really old school Trump coin is basically political monetization, no wonder the Cardano founder is upset Lack of regulatory framework is truly a disaster, retail investors are just the bag holders Oh my, this is why I only invest in projects with real applications
