First, let's visit the site: https://collecttrumpcards.com/
In general, this appears to be a fun way for Trump to fund raise while offering supporters a chance to meet with him.
Just like Andrew Jackson, Trump is bypassing media and going directly to the people. But through Willy Wonka golden tickets.
Let's look at the sweepstakes offerings:
-
Miami dinner with Donald Trump: "Spend a memorable evening in Miami for an exclusive dinner hosted by Trump."
-
Mar-A-Lago group cocktail hour: "Experience a meet & greet with Trump in his luxurious private Palm Beach resort."
-
One-on-one meeting with #45: "Enjoy an unforgettable private meeting with Donald Trump at Mar-A-Lago."
-
Play golf with Trump & your friends: "Join Donald on the green for an exclusive 1-hour of golf with your 2 closest friends."
-
Individual Zoom call with Donald: "Speak directly with Donald Trump on a private Zoom call to ask the questions you’ve always wanted to ask."
-
Group zoom session with #45: "Meet Trump via Zoom alongside fellow Digital Trading Card holders."
-
Hand signed memorabilia: "Receive a limited edition, signed photograph of Donald J. Trump as a prized collectible."
-
Golden edition signed E-trading cards: "Win one of 25 incredibly rare gold Digital Trading Card (NFT), digitally signed by Donald J. Trump."
You can also enter the sweepstakes without making a purchase.
But here's the one that really catches the eye:
BUY 45 Digital Trading CardS And YOU are GUARANTEED a TICKET to A dinner with the President
That also gets you 45 entries into the sweepstakes.
So which one of you VIP-Anons will be the first to ask Trump a Q+ question over cocktails at Mar-a-Lago?
Lol crypto or nft are not the future. Silver is.
Silver you say? Do you have a future potential ballpark value?
As there are at least 300x more 1oz silver futures contracts than there are extant ounces of silver, yet the futures contracts are traded interchangeably with physical silver, I think 300x the current market price is a good starting point.
That still doesn't touch the price of XRP when it moons. Every country, every company every individual will be using the bridge known as Ripple/XRP to make cross border payments. Trillions of $$ a day. Take in the national debts of all countries which it will need to cover in order to pay off will be a rocket shot to the moon. Sure, silver will make one wealthy, but XRP will create generational wealth.
Doubt it. Gold and silver backed paper failed, XRP will fail for the same reasons.
The only way out is metal money. That's coins made of gold, platinum, silver, copper, nickel, and others.
International trade will be settled in currencies like the gold-backed RMB china has unveiled for buying oil, or the gold-pegged rouble Russia is using to force Europe to trade gold for oil. Countries will actually haul the net balance from vault to vault to settle trade debts.
Why exactly do you think that? Should we really put our money/faith into a relic of the past? Genuinely curious here - I'm young and trying to get my finances right. Why should I bank on silver as opposed to newer digital currency?
First, I think all crypto is just beta testing for CBDC, that it is all written by spooks and designed to fail spectacularly just so that what is happening now, namely, people calling for regulation of cryptocurrency i.e., CBDCs, would inevitably come to pass. Crypto was the “create a problem” half of the hegellian dialectic. CBDC is “present a solution.”
Second, I think CBDC is doomed to fail for the same reason the petrodollar did. Perhaps they’ve improved the swindle (linking it to food, which they’re trying to make scarce right meow, or linking it to water, which is about to become scarce as the climate cools) such that it could last longer than the petrodollar’s impressive 50ish year run. But eventually the market will reassert dominance and topple CBDC as surely as any fiat currency. Only metals work.
Third, if we admit crypto is money, we admit many evil parties like Chy-na and Wall Street and whatever spooks wrote the crypto software and others permanently have more money than we do. The head start in mining etc that they have just can’t be overcome. Imo, gold has the same problem, no matter how much you have, Chy-na and rich Europeans have more. Silver has no such problem.
Fourth, the Hunt Brothers showed us how easily the silver market can be cornered. The issue with their approach was to present as a single target. WSS apes are a distributed Hunt Brothers effort. They can’t shut us all down, and we will never stop buying til it’s gone. If they crash the price we buy more. If they let it go up silver attracts more buyers. We feel there’s no point buying new houses, new cars, new clothes, etc. in this computer game that’s about to be shut off. We want real money or bust. You can join us and be one of the new capitalists. Or skip on silver and work for a tenth of an ounce a day, tops.
Shadilay!
Let's make sure we have the correct definitions being applied. Crypto currencies = Fiat...like the dollar for example in the USA. Digital assets = real money backed by gold...like XRP.
There's no such thing as "money" backed by gold, as gold is money. There's paper and digital tokens ostensibly backed by gold, but we have all heard that story before from governments.
It has to be metallic coinage. There's no other way out.
