Hunter Biden, President Biden’s son, responded on social media on Sept. 9 to community controversy surrounding LAPTOP, discussing for the first time his thinking behind issuing the token. He said the name refers to the controversial Hunter Biden laptop episode and argued that a symbol once used to attack him could represent resilience, redemption and recovery. Hunter Biden also said buyers should not expect him or anyone else to make LAPTOP appreciate. He framed the project as being about what holders express, not only what they own.
