After the former 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump revealed his non-fungible token (NFT) trading card collection, Trump\u2019s NFTs sold out within hours after the announcement. Statistics from Opensea, three days after the sale, show that the Trump NFT trading card collection\u2019s floor value is now .49 ether or roughly $578.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump NFTs Sell out, Cards Quadruple in Value on Opensea, Left-Leaning Political Commentators Are Outraged<\/h2>\n

Donald Trump once said in 2019 that he was not a fan of bitcoin (BTC)<\/a>, and today the former president has leveraged blockchain technology to release his NFT trading cards<\/a>. The collection<\/a> of 45,000 cards features images of Trump dressed as Superman, an astronaut, a cowboy, and many other designs. However, there\u2019s been accusations<\/a> that the team behind Trump\u2019s NFTs used stock images from Shutterstock and left the Shutterstock watermarks on the NFT photos.<\/p>\n

Half the people mocking Trump for selling NFTs today were silent when he was selling out our nation\u2019s future through record inflation.<\/p>\n

Despite the claims, Trump\u2019s NFT cards have been very popular and during the last 24 hours, cryptoslam.io stats<\/a> show Trump\u2019s collection is the second-largest in sales behind Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC). Trump NFT sales increased by 50.19% during the past 24 hours and there\u2019s been $3,597,251 in sales. The $3.5 million in sales was across 4,749 transactions and 1,839 buyers and 2,155 sellers.<\/p>\n

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees it’s great that House DEMs introduced a bill to bar trump from office under the 14th Amendment, so he can spend more time selling ridiculous digital trump card NFTs.<\/p>\n

On Opensea, the current floor value<\/a> for Trump\u2019s NFT cards is around .49 ether or $578, which is more than 4x larger than the original $99 price when the sale launched. There\u2019s roughly 15,811 Trump NFT owners and 35% are unique owners, according to Opensea metrics on Dec. 18, 2022. One user<\/a> owns approximately 1,000 Trump NFT cards and is the largest holder of the entire collection. Some people have claimed<\/a> the unknown Trump NFT owner with 1,000 cards is Donald Trump himself.<\/p>\n

Of course, Trump\u2019s NFT trading cards caused an outcry from left-leaning political pundits since the 45th U.S. president made his announcement. Current U.S. president Joe Biden mocked Trump in a tweet<\/a> that says Biden \u201chad some MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS the last couple of weeks,\u201d using all capital letters like Trump. The left-leaning political commentator Lindy Li made fun of Trump\u2019s NFT announcement as well, when she said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Trump\u2019s big announcement is that he\u2019s selling NFTs. Melania\u2019s big announcement was that she was selling a $185,000 NFT. Ivanka\u2019s big announcement was to promote Goya beans. Don Jr\u2019s big announcement was to sell $500 cameos. The most pathetic family to ever occupy the White House.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Other proponents of the left, like former New York Times (NYT) author, Kurt Eichenwald, tried to expose Trump\u2019s NFT venture. Eichenwald published a blog post<\/a> on his Substack that claims \u201cTrump\u2019s trading card grift is worse than you think.\u201d Eichenwald found that shell companies are associated with a company called NFT International LLC. The former NYT columnist also linked the firm to some people with negative reputations but in the end, Eichenwald concludes that \u201cnone of this means that NFT International is crooked.\u201d<\/p>\n
