Yeah I read the news story but couldn't stop thinking about this scene in the movie "The Lorax". The news article describes the statue as "striking" but I think it looks just a gaudy as the statue of Aloysius O'Hare, the "greedy dirtbag" who found a way to sell people bottled air.
A giant and striking 12-foot golden statue of President Donald Trump holding a Bitcoin has been installed outside the US Capitol, drawing crowds and controversy. Trump's statue unveiling came just as the Federal Reserve announced a 25-basis-point interest rate cut. According to ABC affiliate WJLA, the statue was funded by cryptocurrency investors.
"Organisers said the piece is intended to provoke debate about the future of digital currency, monetary policy, and the federal government's role in financial markets," according to reports.
Group members said the statue paid tribute to Trump's outspoken support for cryptocurrency and is expected to draw attention from observers throughout the day.
Several visuals of the statue were posted on social media, praising the president's pro-cryptocurrency stance.
