> [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > You can only buy a maximum of 100 Cards: At first this surprised me. Why would Trump voluntarily limit his revenue stream. Then I realized that 100cards x $99 is just below the $10,000 reporting requirements. Ah, so it’s “structuring”, then! And it being an NFT in no way gives him the ability to enforce the 10% fee on any transfers. If nothing else, I could give someone some currency in exchange for them giving me a piece of paper where their NFT password is written down, and Trump would have no way of knowing that we’d done that. ---
