One year after the $Libra affair, the government still treats it like a harmless digital prank. A \u201cprivate matter,\u201d they say. As if 44,000 people worldwide had magically fallen into a global scam all by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 14, 2025, while some were celebrating love, others were buying faith in token form. One presidential tweet was enough to turn an unknown memecoin into overnight financial hype. No decree, no national address \u2014 just a libertarian thumb hitting \u201cpost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President, always eager to blow up the old system, discovered he could also blow up other people\u2019s wallets. The \u201cfree market\u201d worked perfectly: insiders cashed out, believers paid the bill. Textbook capitalism, predictable ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hours later came the rug pull. In plain English: the table was flipped and the cutlery vanished. The token\u2019s value collapsed, the creators disappeared, and thousands watched their \u201cfreedom\u201d turn into negative percentages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then came the performance: it wasn\u2019t promotion, it was \u201csharing.\u201d It wasn\u2019t an official account, it was \u201cpersonal.\u201d He didn\u2019t know anyone \u2014 though the same people walked in and out of the presidential palace like a crypto coworking space. Excuses, 280 characters at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice began to move, at its usual glacial pace. Victims counted losses while Congress gathered documents that now rest in dusty institutional drawers. Plenty of slides, zero consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Names piled up: developers, intermediaries, businessmen with VIP access to power. All close to the presidency, none close to a courtroom bench. Meritocracy at work: those who know which doors to knock on climb higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the official line went minimalist: \u201ca private dispute.\u201d Translation: the President only provided the face, the credibility, the shop window, and the initial push. The rest is \u201cmarket responsibility,\u201d that god worshipped when convenient and ignored when it burns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year later, no refunds. No apologies. No symbolic step back from playing financial influencer. Freedom keeps moving \u2014 straight toward the wrong pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The libertarian moral is clear: in a country where \u201cthere\u2019s no money,\u201d there\u2019s always money for those who get to the tweet first. Everyone else: lesson learned. In the crypto casino of power, the house never loses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$Libra turns one, and the government celebrates the way scandals are celebrated nowadays: by waiting it out, changing the subject, and hoping victims get tired of demanding answers. Forgetting also trades in dollars.
