Imagine this: President Trump hosting a lavish dinner at his golf club, surrounded by the biggest names in the world of cryptocurrency. But these aren’t just any investors – they’re the top holders of his own meme coin, $TRUMP. It’s a scene straight out of a reality show, but with real-world consequences.
The $TRUMP coin, launched just before Trump’s inauguration, skyrocketed in value, making the former president a billionaire on paper. It’s since fallen dramatically, but the hype is back with this exclusive dinner, which has many wondering if it’s more about politics than finance.
The attendees, identified only by their online crypto wallet addresses, are a mix of crypto enthusiasts, hoping to get close to the former president, and some serious players with big pockets. Among them is Justin Sun, the controversial founder of the TRON blockchain platform, who claims to be the top holder of $TRUMP. You might remember Sun from his infamous banana art stunt.
Experts are calling the dinner a potential ethics disaster, questioning the line between political influence and financial gain. Is this simply a fun gathering of like-minded individuals, or something more sinister? We’ll be watching closely as the dinner unfolds, and you can bet the crypto world will be buzzing about it for weeks to come.
