Hunter Biden Launches Meme Coin Inspired by Infamous Laptop
Hunter Biden is reportedly launching his own cryptocurrency, dubbed '$LAPTOP', which will trade on Base. The coin's name and date of launch (September 9) were hinted at by Biden on social media site X, along with a compilation video referencing the infamous laptop that made headlines in 2020.
The laptop was dropped off at a computer repair shop in Delaware in April 2019, which the FBI seized five months later. The device contained emails, documents, and financial records, as well as explicit photos of Biden. His lawyers have said the files were manipulated.
Biden has been vocal about his struggles with addiction and has spoken out on social media about his support for digital currencies. He believes Congress needs to 'truly understand the value and potential utility of cryptocurrency' and called decentralized digital currency the 'inevitable future.'
