It seems that a group of very rich and powerful people figured out a way to get regular Americans to hand over real dollars in exchange for digital tokens that the rich people control. The rich people invest those real dollars in government bonds that earn interest every day, and they keep all the interest for themselves while the regular people get nothing except a promise that their token is still worth a dollar. The same rich people can also freeze those tokens at any time, locking regular people out of their own money with no warning and no way to get it back.
The Trump family runs one of these operations and keeps 75 percent of the money it makes.
