One day we may discover:
What decides whether you can meet the president is no longer how much money you donated or how many times you voted, but whether you have bought enough of his tokens.
Yes, loyalty is being tokenized.
In the past, loyalty was vague and emotional; now, it is packaged into tokens, written on-chain, tradable, quantifiable, and can be monetized.
For example, Trump's $TRUMP token.
You are not buying tokens; you are registering your identity with your wallet address: 'I am your person.'
Buy more? Join the banquet. Hold for a long time? Get an NFT badge. Large holder groups, airdrop opportunities, political resources, all included.
This is not a financial product; it is a political ticket on-chain.
Looking back at traditional politics, we once thought voting was the highest form of expression.
But what about now?
Voting is anonymous, tokens are real-name. Your on-chain address is tied to the candidate's loyalty, which is much more useful than a ballot. Ballots disappear after voting, but tokens can be held indefinitely and appreciate over time.
This is actually another form of 'Staking'—
You are not just voting on trust; you are staking your political capital.
You are saying: I am willing to bet on you with money, tokens, and on-chain identity. If you succeed, I appreciate. If you fail, I incur a loss.
Real-world politics is mimicking on-chain economics.
Candidates are fundraising not through TV ads but by issuing token presales.
Supporters become holders, and rallying is driving up the price.
In other words, Web3 is reshaping the liquidity structure of politics.
Imagine that future elections are like this:
Each candidate issues a political token.
Staking represents support and can be exchanged for governance votes.
Voting mechanisms are directly written into smart contracts.
After being elected, they can also distribute dividends, tax refunds, and airdrops based on support ratios.
Politics has become a DeFi protocol in the real world. What you support is not just a person, but a speculative political asset.
You might say: doesn't this become a 'political casino'?
But think seriously, isn't it true now?
Lobbying is OTC, donations are building positions, proposals are PR, and results are candlestick charts.
You just didn't participate with a wallet, but you've been in this game for a long time.
Trump is not a genius; he just saw this point first—
On-chain loyalty is more programmable than traditional loyalty and makes it easier to filter 'who is one of us'.
Ballots are anonymous, tokens are not. How much you hold, when you buy, whether you sell, all are recorded clearly.
What you buy is not Trump coins; you are buying 'access to the circle'.
If you don't buy, you won't even have the chance to be an extra.
