It costs $840,000 to talk to Trump? These people did it for less than $5,000

Trump's assassination surprised and frightened the whole world, and his survival made many people jokingly call him "the chosen one". Not only that, his immediate reaction after the assassination directly provided the photographer with this year's annual photo and the annual slogan "Fight, Fight, Fight".

Although the Trump concept meme Token, which has been popular for some time, has cooled down, the US presidential candidate is still highly concerned in the Crypto circle because he will attend the Bitcoin 2024 event in Nashville, Tennessee, and will give a 30-minute personal speech at the event.

So is there any way to get close to Trump at the event? According to the invitation letter posted online, it costs $60,000 to take a photo with Trump, and if two people take a photo with Trump at the same time, the price is $100,000. If you want to go a step further and have a roundtable meeting with Trump, the price is as high as $844,600, which is exactly the maximum legal donation that an individual can make to the joint fundraising committee of Trump and the Republican Party.

At this extremely popular Bitcoin event, it costs nearly 1 Bitcoin to take a photo with Trump. Before that, some NFT players spent less than $5,000 to get close to Trump.

At the end of 2023, Trump announced his third NFT series "Mugshot Edition", which costs $99 each. Supporters who buy more than 47 "Mugshot Editions" will be able to have dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, USA, and have the opportunity to get a suit Trump wore when he was arrested in 2023.

The card content of "Mugshot Edition" is related to Trump's arrest in 2023. In addition, there is no trading volume because the series cannot be transferred before December 31, 2024

Buying more than 100 "Mugshot Edition" cards not only allows you to sit at the VIP table at the dinner, but also invites 2 additional people to the cocktail party before the dinner, and can get the Bitcoin NFT series of only 200 that Trump will issue on Ordinals (this series has been burned, but has not yet been distributed).

Trump's Ordinals Series

In November last year, the "Mugshot Edition" big players enjoyed the empowerment of "dining with Trump" promised by the project for the first time.

And in May of this year, Trump held another "crypto special" at Mar-a-Lago. During this event, Trump proudly declared that all NFT players who supported him had successfully "Make NFTs hot again" with him, because the successful release of "Mugshot Edition" was in the NFT bear market.

@tier10k also mentioned that CoinDesk reporter Danny Nelson also attended the event and recorded an interesting conversation. During the event, someone mentioned to Trump that the Biden concept meme Token $BODEN had a market value of 240 million US dollars. After hearing this, Trump said, "This is a lot of money for a coin. I don’t like this investment."

In the NFT circle, DeGods co-founder @frankdegods also participated in this event. Another team member from DeGods, @macdegods, was even luckier. Wearing the glasses of the famous meme Mog in the circle, he raised his hand in the audience and was successfully "turned over" by Trump. The question he asked Trump was that many American Crypto companies left the United States due to regulatory reasons. How to solve this situation. Trump replied that if we want to embrace encryption, we must keep these Crypto companies in the United States.

There are many voices that believe that Trump's pre-election show of goodwill towards Crypto is just to win over voters with Crypto attributes. If he can win the election, there are still doubts about how much support Crypto can have. Admittedly, this is a rigorous point of view. I think the acceptance of Crypto in the United States and around the world is still not popular enough. It is unreliable to pin hopes on the policies that a possible president may implement. Only when Crypto becomes commonplace and more closely connected to people's lives, can bottom-up promotion combined with top-down support free Crypto from the current shackles of development.

However, for a US presidential candidate who has already issued three NFT series and has clearly stated that he will have a fourth NFT series on Bitcoin, it is completely reasonable for us to show some of Crypto's unique entertainment spirit and maintain a relatively optimistic attitude.

The Bitcoin 2024 event in Nashville is about to begin. Will we see Trump make any heavyweight Crypto-friendly remarks? Or is there a slight possibility that Trump will mention Ordinals and runes in his speech?
