$LAPTOP Meme Coin Launch Sparks Controversy
Hunter Biden has launched a meme coin called $LAPTOP, which is tied to controversy surrounding a laptop during the 2020 presidential election. The coin's name references the laptop that became a major point of contention in the final weeks of the campaign.
Biden described $LAPTOP as a way to reclaim a symbol used against him. He posted a video on X before the coin's launch, which included much of the news coverage of the laptop.
The laptop was first publicly reported on just a few weeks before the 2020 election and prompted intense debate over its contents and authenticity.
Critics have pointed out Biden's previous attacks on President Donald Trump's crypto businesses, including his meme coin. Eric Trump, the president's son, joined the criticism, writing on X that 'Hunter should go back to painting.'
