Trump is not sure how the real economy works, but he seems to be mastering the crypto economy.
In the past, if you wanted to bribe a President you would have to give him a bag of cash, which could be problematic. Or maybe create a PAC. Now you can just buy his memecoin. But the problem with the memecoin is Trump needs to sell it to monetize the bribes (unlike World Liberty which just puts dollars directly in his pocket). This can present a real problem. Trump owns 80% of $TRUMP and his lock ups are starting to expire, allowing him to sell. But...
If you sell too much, too fast, the market collapses and what you thought you had in bribes evaporates. And the thing about bribes is you do not want them to evaporate. You need buying pressure to offset your selling pressure. What to do? What to do?
On a completely unrelated note, Trump just announced that he will host a dinner for the largest 220 holders of $TRUMP. And the top 25 holders will attend a reception with Trump before the dinner. The way it works is that they will track who owns the most $TRUMP between April 23 and May 12 to determine who gets the invites.
Oh my goodness, I just realized something. This will create buying pressure right when Trump needs it to liquidate his holdings. What a coincidence. Someone alter the President. He probably does not realize this would be a great time to sell right as his lock ups are expiring. How fortuitous.
