The project aims to serve unbanked

He means debanked. People who banks have learned not to deal with because they're fraudsters. This project, created by a fraudster, will serve fraudsters. Buy buy buy!!! To the moon!

A cryptocurrency platform "created" by a politician? Just use cash at this point.

A politician with a long history of financial fraud to boot.

Sounds like all the usual catchphrases for crypto. What will this platform do that existing ones don't already do? Details are nonexistent as with all Trump plans, so my guess is "absolutely nothing". Just another grift to pay his legal bills.

Wonder how long before the first story about this being a giant money laundering scam come out? Also I wonder who these debanked and underserved communities are made up of? Millionaires and Billionaires looking to hide assets, or launder money? You know that "underserved communities" isn't people that actually need a break.
