money would spend some of it on an online image, pixels really, that one can't hold, touch or hang on a wall.

Wasn't it P.T. Barnum who said: "There's one born everyday"?

The article is speaking to NFT's IN GENERAL. It clearly says around 5% of all NFT's retain value.

As per CoinGecko...

On September 23, 2023 the "FLOOR PRICE" for Trump NFT cards is $245 (they sold originally at $99) and the highest price paid for one is 37 ETH which is... around $55-60k

The Market Cap is over 11 million dollars for 44,999 cards.

...they are only worth that when they sell. Is there evidence of demand & of trading volume? Absent said evidence, an investment carrying no other intrinsic value only has ledger value. If one puts on up for sale & there are no takers, the practical value is zero.

... Trump then claimed to have sold 45,000 trading cards, for which "people paid $99." He added that these same NFTs are now worth much more than their original price, saying they sell for $1,300 on average.

"Some of those cards are selling for 22, 23, 24,000 dollars now. And I think the average is about $1,300 a card ...

But the numbers he provided during his deposition don't reflect those on OpenSea, an NFT marketplace where users can buy Trump's cards. The highest value the former president's original NFTs ever reached was on average 0.6782 ETH—the native currency of the Ethereum network, called Ether—on February 13, 2023, which equals to about $1,109.

On April 3, the value of Trump's trading cards was 0.4438 ETH (over $723), while on April 10 it had slid to 0.3814 ETH ($621.79). On April 17, they were worth 0.1543 ETH ($251.55) and on April 24, they were valued at 0.1304 ETH ($218.46) ...

In May, Newsweek reported that Trump's trading cards had plunged to a record low value of around $1.04 ...

The $1.04 was a blip... went over $200 within a couple days back in May. Still 240.

It's like the stock market. If ONE person asked $1.04 for an item and there were no offers over $1.04... 1.04 would be the bid price.

To mimick a transaction on the open market to create the perception of market pricing.

In reality it's just a staged transaction to keep the illusion alive.

It's a completely unregulated market. Manipulating it should be child's play.
