See, when you lie down with dogs, sometimes you get fleas. And the cryptocurrency business is a little bit sleazy that way. And I think that's one of the appeals for Donald Trump. But now we got new reporting. Uh-oh, there's a new announcement that looked like it was a Trump-branded crypto wallet to hold meme coins called Dollar Sign Trump, just how I like my American presidents, with dollar signs that start their name off. I don't remember that when he swore in his oath of office. But now we've got reporting that that meme wallet...

is phony, or at least it's not sanctioned by the Trump family because the Trump family is working on a meme wallet, but looks like a company that is involved with the non-fungible token business called Magic Eden jumped the gun and that led to the two Fredos of the Trump crime family, Eric Trump and Don Jr., both simultaneously having to take to social media denying that the Trump wallet was real or that it was sanctioned in any way.

Uh-oh. This is the type of story I love to tell. Here on Midas Touch and on Legal AF, I'm Michael Popock. Let's get into it. Put on my cryptocurrency hat. Cryptocurrency, time for a primer. What happened?

There's a thing called a wallet. It's electronic, just like the digital asset that goes inside of it, which is in a form of cryptocurrency. The lowest form of cryptocurrency is something called a meme coin. There's absolutely nothing behind it. Sure, it's created through mathematical algorithms and computing, but in the reality, it's just a made-up coin that somebody hopes you'll buy and trade up in value and trade a lot of so they make money. There's things called like the fart coin. I am not making this up.

Or other meme type coins, including Trump coin. That was the meme coin that Donald Trump just held a dinner in Virginia that you and I paid for that had the 200 top wallets holding meme coins show up, basically pay to play to get into the room to have FaceTime with the president. We paid for it because we're taxpayers. And he went there with a whole phalanx of success.

Secret Service and all of the black SUVs and all of that good stuff. So he made hundreds of millions of dollars that night. The family's going to make billions of dollars before this whole thing is over. And they, the Trump family, love cryptocurrency because it's a way to sell themselves, make a lot of money without any regulation. And foreign investors love to invest in the Trump family because they think they're buying influence.

They think they are because they are. This is influence peddling, folks, without violating federal campaign law. So you have meme coins. Donald Trump loves meme coins, not because his face digitally is on there, but because he also owns the platform,

for the buy and the sell. He owns the liquidity pool that allows for the buy and the sell. He makes the market. He's the broker, if you will. So he doesn't care what the value of the meme coin is. He just cares that it's bought and it's sold and it's bought and it's sold. The higher the volume, the more the Trump family makes. They make hundreds of millions of dollars every month or every six months in the buy and the sell of these meme coins. So it's in his interest to push, push, push and use the White House as his personal printing press.

If you don't like the way this sounds, then you're going to love the new law that's being proposed by the Democrats led by Representative Richie Torres out of New York, who I'm going to have as a guest in an interview on Legal AF this week to put a stop to all of this. And some of you around the world might think, isn't there a Securities and Exchange Commission out there to regulate this? No. Donald Trump defanged them. Isn't there a Cryptocurrency Commission to regulate this? No. No.

Because Donald Trump doesn't want any of those laws. He just wants all gas and no brakes. That brings me to the crypto wallet. So to hold these digital assets, which are generated by server farms and lots of electricity and lots of computing, terrible for the environment, by the way, to spit out one digital coin, you got to hold it somewhere like in a digital wallet. You can make money owning the wallet.

So somebody launched what we thought was a Trump approved, meaning he gets a VIG, he gets a stake in it. Trump approved, dollar sign, Trump wallet, waiting list, join now. And we're like, all right. We looked at the bottom. Did it say World Liberty Finance? No.

That's sort of weird. Then it gets traced back by CNBC and others to Magic Eden. Why do we know Magic Eden? Or why should we? Well, they were in the non-fungible token business, the NFT business. What's that? Remember Donald Trump's trading cards that he sold while he was on the campaign trail with him cosplaying as an astronaut and a cowboy? And it was like the village people, but for Donald Trump. And people would buy and sell these cards.

these trading cards, these digital trading cards. So there was a market for it. There was value. I mean, the NFT market effectively crashed. People were buying things like, oh, the, you know, the first YouTube episode of whatever. And, you know, whatever could be converted digitally, usually video or audio items, they, and with a digital signature, they could be bought and sold almost like works of art, but not really. And so that's,

the NFT market was dominated by players like Magic Eaton, who worked with Donald Trump on his NFT. See the link? So when Magic Eaton gets linked back to the meme wallet, I'm like, all right, well, that makes sense. They used them before, why wouldn't they use them now? And then come the postings from Fredo1 and Fredo2 of the Trump crime family. "The weather, it's heating up, "and your nighttime bedroom temperature "has a huge impact on your sleep quality.

And all of them say the same thing. I run the Trump Organization. I don't know anything about this, Eric Trump says. Don Jr. says the Trump Organization has not sanctioned this and we're not involved. Why is anybody shocked that in the sleazy world of cryptocurrency, and my apologies to people who are invested heavily in it, I see all the crypto conferences in New York. I got some friends that went, hey, I'm here with Mayor I.

Adams. You mean the guy that should be a convict? We're in Vegas. Cryptocurrency. Yeah. Yeah. Because if you have no morals or ethics and you just care about making a lot of money and you've got a felon in chief that loves cryptocurrency, then get on his coattails. I get it.

I mean, I had cryptocurrency before it was popular. I understand it. You know, I got family members that worked in the cryptocurrency business until those companies went under. I understand it intimately. However, I would not put lots of money into it banking on Donald Trump. But Donald Trump is because this is the number one way that he figured out that he can line his pockets and that of his family and make tons of money.

with a velocity that's unmatched. He couldn't make this many real estate deals to make this kind of money. $5 billion, new Abu Dhabi golf course,

That's that's chump change. He's going to make that in the first quarter in the buy and sell with meme coins and cryptocurrency and mining. He owns it all. He owns a major with his family cryptocurrency mining company that makes Bitcoin. He owns the wallet. He owns the the exchange, if you will, for the buy and the sell the liquidity pool. He owns meme coins. He sells meme coins. Do you see where this is going?

So is anybody shocked that in that world, somebody either jumped the gun or is ripping off the Trump family?

in this world? I mean, they got into business through Steve Witkoff into cryptocurrency. Who's that? Well, that's your Secretary of State. Now, some people are going to write in my comments, no, Popak, it's Marco Rubio. And I'm going to say it may look like Marco Rubio. But the guy who's running around as the special envoy for Donald Trump is a guy named Steve Witkoff, who is his Florida golf buddy and a fellow small-time developer. And Witkoff is running around meeting with Putin,

meeting with Israel, negotiating the Iranian nuclear deal. I am not making this up. And he got Donald Trump into cryptocurrency. He introduced Trump and apparently Barron Trump to two tech bros, crypto bros, one of which went to jail and introduced them to set up World Liberty Finance during the campaign. And if you think our cryptocurrency policies as a nation are being warped because Donald Trump is heavily invested in cryptocurrency, you would be right.

And so it is there is a cosmic justice about this hot take that I

Somebody jumped the gun and or ripped off Donald Trump in his ripping off of America and selling the presidency in plain sight. We keep calling it out for a reason because we can't have Trump fatigue on this channel. We just can't. We've got to focus it. We've got to train our artillery on it because we've got to take it into the midterms with us. And that will animate us and motivate us to stand in long lines to vote.
