Donald Trump plans to make America “the crypto capital of the planet”. Will he?

In the hours since Donald Trump was announced as the 47th President of the United States, the post-mortem has begun, and what remains to be clearly understood is exactly what role social media platforms played in swinging voters one way or the other.
