Newspapers’ estimates of the $TRUMP token’s fully diluted value fluctuated wildly from somewhere around $20 billion to around $70 billion, depending on which paper you read and when they published.

This variance perhaps should have been a sign to these reporters that the numbers aren’t real.

This is not to downplay the extent to which Trump is grifting his devotees and crypto traders looking to make a buck on memecoin speculation. But it is important that we accurately report on his cons and don’t contribute to misleading crypto hype for the sake of large numbers.

To understand crypto “valuations”, take the example of MollyCoin. If I conjure a billion MOLLY tokens out of thin air and sell one for $1, I’ve just created a “billion dollar” cryptocurrency.
