After these elegant gold sneakers and his God Bless the USA Bible, Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency World Liberty Monetary (WLFI) instantly appeared to me like yet one more approach to squeeze some extra money out of his fanbase. However when YouTuber Coffeezilla analyzed the venture in additional element, what he discovered was much more ridiculous than what I used to be anticipating.
For starters (although unsurprisingly), WLFI is totally pre-mined. 20 billion cash, which symbolize 35% of the entire provide, are being bought for $0.015 every. The opposite 65% of cash is allotted to protocol growth and insiders.
This implies they worth the WLFI venture round $900 million, instantly bringing it into the identical ballpark as one thing like Bitcoin SV (maybe fittingly). In actuality, nevertheless, lower than 1 billion cash have been bought to date, making it nearer to a $14 million market cap coin, extra just like tasks like Pikaboss or Boba Oppa— I’d by no means heard of them both.
It’s equally unsurprising that WLFI doesn’t accomplish something new or fascinating (lending and borrowing on the prevailing Aave protocol), or that it isn’t decentralized in any significant method, or that one of many venture’s cofounders has a dodgy history on this area already.
However what even I didn’t anticipate, is that WLFI is indefinitely non-transferable. That’s proper, in the meanwhile, at the least, you possibly can’t ship these cash to anybody. You’ll be able to simply purchase them, and, I assume, promote them again later? Perhaps? This sounds extra like OneCoin — the infamous fraud that was a cryptocurrency in title solely — than any severe altcoin I’ve ever heard of.
Whereas Nikolaus and Calli imagine the previous president actually embraced Bitcoin, I don’t assume he really modified his thoughts on cryptocurrency a lot in any respect since three years ago… I feel he simply desires in on the rip-off.
