Yeah, this is a big part of how all the broligarchy tech guys got involved with the campaign. Once the schism over social media and who controlled where you can say what started 2017-2020, there was push for and investment in full tech stacks down to full data centers controlled by Trump Media. For them, they see this as already appealing to the same captive audience they already extort daily for "donations." Gab, MeWe, Rumble, TruthSocial, Parler, and a dozen other smaller platforms formed to try and pick at a market they hoped would be big enough to leech from for decades and not let just Zuck have all the access.
These same people on the tech side had been pushing for crypto since its inception as a new economic system. Its part of why Peter Thiel added a whole crypto wallet to Brave browser. Which is why the Trump meme coin is on the Solana blockchain, it's the same kind of guy they got wrapped up with, that also wants to have Network States where the wealthy can be super-citizens. So their solution to everything, being ultra-wealthy people detached from reality, is to just build compete infrastructure from the ground up to suit themselves and be maximally insulated from criminal prosecution, including financial platforms, while enjoying all the amenities of living in a country built by millions of hardworking Americans.
