When Trump fans snapped up $550 million worth of WLFI, the token tied to the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial crypto project, they thought they were getting the deal of the century. Tokens bought for between $0.015 and $0.05 between October 2024 and January 2025 soared to an all-time high of $0.33 when they started trading last September, turning modest purchases into small fortunes overnight — at least on paper.
But there was just one catch.
World Liberty Financial’s creators, which include US President Donald Trump and his sons Eric, Donald Jr., and Barron, granted themselves the sole power to decide who can sell and when.

Amazon should pay $40 million on a documentary about all the scams Trump has participated in.
They could make an entire series. Multiple seasons even.
Fucker has been so enriched while being in office it’s really disgusting. I believe the reason he wants people to pay student loans isn’t some fairness bullshit. He thinks he can scrape the top off them at the least.

This was the most obvious rug pull I’ve ever seen.
They only want out because they thought he would tell them when to pull, which doesn’t makes sense because then who’s getting ripped off?
Imagine that, the literarily illiterate are also financially illiterate.
I would simply sell them to a Greater Fool. Problem solved.
That’s just regular crypto trading.
I wish I was a greater fool in 2010.
Imagine having 1000 bitcoins tucked safely away in your MtGox account
It would be nice to maybe have a chance of seeing some of that money again, but the knowledge of what I’d fucked up would have a heavy mental burden of its own.
Obviously if it was me I surely would’ve pulled my coins out when the email addresses got leaked, because I’m such an unusually foresighted person.
One of the few bright spots in this whole mess is seeing this meme evolve into weirder and weirder images every day. I hate everything about the current political climate, but at least I know I’ll see a new version of this every time I open the comments on here. And that makes me smile.
