Trump’s NFT Trading Cards: A Wild Ride
Former President Donald Trump just dropped another round of NFT trading cards, minting a whopping 38,001 copies on Polygon. It’s not just a digital keepsake; it’s a ticket to potential profits. Launched at $99 each on April 18, these cards have a floor price hovering around 0.0659 ETH, or roughly $145 as of now. The excitement has resulted in a trading volume of 592 ETH, equivalent to around $1.2 million!
Breaking Down the Numbers
The collection comes with a 10% creator fee, generating over $100,000 in revenue from sales alone. Add that to the initial haul of $3.76 million, and you have a profit strategy that even Wall Street would nod at.
Instagram and the Price Tag
In a typical Trumpian fashion, he took to Instagram to explain his pricing strategy, saying he wants fans to feel the thrill of making money while having fun. He claimed he could have jacked up the price but chose to play nice instead. Because, you know, who doesn’t love a good backstroke? Low and behold, his nicety evaporated as the floor price of the first series plummeted by an alarming 61% in just 24 hours.
Meta’s Horizon Worlds: Welcome, Teens!
In other shocking news, Meta has opened its metaverse, Horizon Worlds, to teens in the U.S. and Canada. Yes, you heard that right! The app is now in the hands of those who think adult supervision is a myth. Officially available after being locked down for ages, this decision comes in light of Meta struggling to reach its user goals.
Pending Safety Concerns
However, not everyone is cheering. Several organizations urged Meta to pause this youthful plunge into the digital abyss, citing the potential for harassment and privacy violations. Meta countered these concerns by highlighting parental supervision features, proving once again that safety in the online world comes with, well, a few asterisks.
