(47,510 posts)If you recall, initially after the election, she pretended to stay in New York for her son.
I suspected she was negotiating for some sort of cash deal to move to Washington.
Turns out she re-negotiated her pre-nup.
I feel certain she received a lump sum of cash, and future financial security.
She emerged a wealthy woman.

.... get something that isn't worth anything. What a deal! What about the good old days where
she just told you to leave the money on the dresser?

(70,612 posts)A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a digital ledger (blockchain).[1] NFTs can be associated with reproducible digital files such as photos, videos, and audio. NFTs use a digital ledger to provide a public certificate of authenticity or proof of ownership, but it does not restrict the sharing or copying of the underlying digital file. The lack of interchangeability (fungibility) distinguishes NFTs from blockchain cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin.
NFTs have drawn criticism with respect to the energy cost and carbon footprint associated with validating blockchain transactions as well as their frequent use in art scams.

I think from what I read the the NFT in this case is a picture of the Slovenia Sex worker you can down load from the
internet along with some audio of Melania saying something.

(70,612 posts).... that it will be worth something because the seller says so and that worth is based on
data stored someplace. aka "A pig in a poke." aka a scam that has something to do w/
cryptocurrency aka "A Nigerian Prince w/money for you."

Buns_of_Fire
(17,201 posts)but the bragging right to say you bought it. Whatever "it" is.
Sort of like contributing to anything the rump family endorses.

(50,567 posts)Its a JPG of a watercolor portrait of Melania Trump. MAGAts are probably lined up around the block to buy a picture of that butt-ugly woman - butt-ugly not because of her politics or choice of men, but because her face isnt attractive.

(11,751 posts)Currency is a fungible token of value. A dollar is a paper/linen bill that is reproduced officially by the US Treasury Dept. It has a value that is determined by economic activity, etc...
Non-fungible tokens are digital files that have a value assigned to them by the originator of the file. There is a unique digital signature that is hashed in code and follows that NFT around to verify its authenticity and uniqueness, which is how it retains or gains in value.
In EXTREMELY simplistic terms, it is rare so it is valuable. Digitally manufactured scarcity supposedly protected by complex codes and block chaining.
In my opinion, it is a scam waiting to happen, which I am sure, is why the Trump's are getting involved.

(10,164 posts)I think it's both a scam and the latest bandwagon for the gullible to jump on - and they come along at least once every generation. At least with the Dutch Tulip Craze you at least had some pretty flowers to look at once the market crashed!

With all Donnie's legal problems piling ip, lawyers are EXPENSIVE. They are not working for FREE.

(3,589 posts)If you are, I'm missing it too.
It's as stupid as the Trumpy Bear and the "Trump defeats COVID" commemorative coin.
Retrograde
(10,164 posts)I don't think she can open her eyes that wide any more
Is this another indication that Donnie is running out of money and she has to grift while the grifting's still good?
