A Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission official and a lawmaker have dropped out of the Bitcoin Asia conference taking place in Hong Kong right now, apparently to avoid being seen near Donald Trump’s son Eric. Ideally, Hong Kong officials would keep their distance from anything to do with crypto, but they have never seen a financial fad-cum-potential hub-zone they didn’t like (Islamic banking, green bonds, etc). The Trump family has done well out of crypto – by inventing and issuing their own fake money. The family makes additional real real money through commissions from everyday suckers trading the ultimately worthless digital tokens. It’s all about real money.
