Hunter Biden’s laptop memecoin ($LAPTOP): launch and criticism
Hunter Biden launched the $LAPTOP memecoin, using the name of the laptop controversy that has defined his public profile. Critics including Coffeezilla and cryptocurrency commentators called the project a “shitcoin” or scam and warned against buying it; Channel 5 disavowed promoting crypto after controversy over an audience-list file. Biden framed the token as an act of resilience, redemption, and recovery and contrasted it with Donald Trump’s token.
