Wow so if a buyer resells the NFT, 10% of the proceeds go directly to the company and Trump. I think it’s clear this has more to do with “collectible” plates and coins and less to do with any application of crypto technology.

#22How did this get on the front page with 3 points and no comments? I see much higher point counts with comments that are still in new .
It’s not just the number of points that matter, it’s points over time. 3 points very quickly will rocket you over 20 points in 4 hours or something. And comments factor in too, so commenting “why is this on the front page” just helps it be on the front page
I believe a high point to comment ratio ranks a post higher, that a low ratio is considered a sign of contentiousness or low quality post.

#23The funniest part of all these projects is how they're trying to explain NFTs to people not into crypto. The FAQ includes questions such as "why do I need a crypto wallet", "are there physical cards created of these cards" and "what is the shipping policy" ("Trump Digital Trading Cards are not delivered physically!").
I remain as convinced as ever that NFTs will never be mainstream. But luckily it seems that the parties involved with this shitshow are probably not concerned about that aspect.

#24This seems like a weird play to me, but it seems to have worked? He apparently sold out. But I do see even a lot of conservatives (and not the "Never Trump" kind) groaning at this.
Uh yeah, I sold out of my NFT trading cards too.
Super limited, best quality, get them quick!

#25This article is silly. There are many companies that provide corporate registry services. For instance, if you searched all the tens of thousands of companies that use CT Corporation, you would find lots and lots that have been involved in litigation. And that would have literally no bearing on any of the other companies. I don't know anything about this Wyoming outfit, but that you'd use a generic registration service for a Delaware company is nothing special. It is, in fact, the norm.

#26I'd rather politicians sell stupid trading cards to raise cash than to accept bribes from Goldman Sachs via speaking fees.
AOC also sells a ton of overpriced merch to raise cash, so it's not unheard of.

#27It is way more boring than this site (which is literally devoted to fearmongering about Trump) makes it out to be. Trump loves cash. He loves being in the spotlight. He keeps drumming up these "big announcements." Everybody "knows" that he's going to run in 2024. And maybe he will. But once he does that, he's subject to regulations. And he hates regulations, especially the ones that interfere with his ability to make…

#28Jokes on this guy! Basically all NFTs are a scam anyway!
Re: Trump's Trading Card Grift Is Worse Than You Think
#29There are many interesting points, that maybe nothing special for NFTs, but I didn't know.
" If any buyer decides to sell their Trump card in a secondary market, they don’t get all the proceeds. The fine print reveals that 10% of every secondary market sales goes right back to Trump and his fellow grifters."

#30Upfront - I'm not a Trumpet, not American and not even right wing by your standards. Does the video announcing this mess seem really weird to anyone else? If i didn't know better i'd say the video was made under duress, at the very least to unwillingly fulfil an obligation.
I thought it almost seemed like a deep fake. Maybe there's some editing making it weird
