When Trump's Dinner Collides with the Crypto Scythe: Whales Cash Out $420,000 with a 'Counter-Strategy' Script

Trump has once again brought business into the crypto space! Recently, this former president pulled off a 'hold-to-dinner' stunt — the top 220 holders of the $TRUMP token... ah, no, 'VIPs', were invited to a private dinner on May 22, with the top 25 receiving a delightful one-day VIP tour of the White House. This news was more thrilling than a tabloid scoop, causing the TRUMP coin price to soar by 70%, with the entry threshold skyrocketing from $420 to $18,000, and VIP seats even being speculated at $1.4 million, a solid 'crypto entry ticket, White House stepping stone'.

Just as various whales with red eyes were increasing their holdings to climb the ranks, a top-notch scythe player played the reverse card — they directly sold 126,000 TRUMP coins, with a cost of less than $10 and a selling price of $13, cashing out precisely $420,000! This move could be described as 'buying a plane ticket with Trump’s traffic and paying for the hotel with the sweat and tears of retail investors', and before leaving, they didn’t forget to post an emoji on social media: 🍔 (implying that eating burgers at the dinner isn't as good as cashing out).

Even more astonishing, Nansen data revealed the dirty laundry: the transaction fees for this 'political chain game' alone harvested $900,000, and the project side has raked in $324 million since January, even harsher than Trump's wall fundraising. Now Democratic lawmakers are jumping up and down, cursing the 'legalization of quid pro quo', while the White House is playing dead and not responding, yet the crypto retail investors have come to a realization: in Trump’s game, some want to exchange tickets, while others just want cash.

Most ironically, while whales are cutting each other off on-chain, the real operator might be sitting on the White House lawn, laughing with a Trump-like smirk at the 'political donations' in their bank account — after all, in the crypto world, sentiment is a vapor token, while the scythe is hard currency. As for the $420,000 arbitrage brother, they are probably lounging on a Maldives beach, leaving Trump's dinner invitation on read.

(Risk Warning: When a president starts issuing coins, retail investors should be careful — after all, their dinner might be a feast of betrayal, and your holdings could just be a string of harvested numbers. 🍔💸)
