President-elect Donald Trump's launch of the Official Trump (TRUMP) meme coin has received skepticism from author and investor Robert Kiyosaki. Kiyosaki believes that the cryptocurrency sector as a whole is straying from its initial purpose and becoming a "farce". He favors tangible assets such as gold, silver, and Bitcoin (BTC) as ideal stores of wealth. Cryptocurrency scam investigator Stephen Findeisen criticizes the setup of TRUMP coin and speculates that incoming regulators may protect the project from legal scrutiny. The value of TRUMP coin has dropped nearly 9% in the past 24 hours and is currently valued at $57 with a market capitalization of about $11.45 billion. The potential for further growth is driven by hype surrounding Trump's inauguration but the volatility of meme cryptocurrencies remains a concern.
