Master move or simple dinner? Donald Trump gathers the gurus of memecoins.
On April 23, the official TRUMP website promised an "unforgettable gala dinner with the president." Today, May 22, Donald Trump dresses up to welcome the 220 investors who have put large sums of money into his memecoin TRUMP, which was launched on January 17, on the eve of his inauguration.
The elegant dinner will take place at his exclusive club on the outskirts of Washington, for the first 220 holders of the memecoin. Additionally, the first 25 holders were promised additional perks: an "exclusive reception" with the president before the dinner and a "special VIP tour" the following day.
In fact, the dinner coincides with the celebration of "Bitcoin Pizza Day." On May 22, 2010, a purchase took place that went down in Bitcoin history. A programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas. At that time, they were worth about $41 dollars, and today that same amount of BTC is worth over a billion dollars.
Trump calls the elite of memecoins at a decisive crypto moment
Indeed, the selected investors, due to how much they have invested, thus have the opportunity to dine with the most powerful man in the world. It is estimated that these investors spent $148 million on the memecoin TRUMP to secure their seats at the dinner.
As a curious fact, it is actually unknown who the guests at the dinner are. The gala, besides being exclusive, is shrouded in great secrecy. However, some have raised their hands to let it be known that they will dine alongside Donald Trump, for example, Justin Sun, founder of TRON.
By the way, Sun joked about bringing bananas to his meeting with Trump. Let's remember that last year, he paid $6.2 million for a viral artwork of a banana taped to a wall.
