The two college-aged sons of one of my ultra-liberal friends pooled their funds and got him the “laser eyes” NFT as a Christmas present (side note; they’re Jewish). He was delighted with the gag gift. ---

He was delighted with the gag gift. Hmm… I might Photoshop up some Digital Trading Cards for less well-known politicians. I have friends that would chuckle if I sent them a couple. Let’s see… Millard Fillmore as an astronaut, C. Estes Kefauver riding a rabid polar bear into battle, Shirley Temple Black as a catwoman-super-villain, Michael Dukakis poking his head out of the hatch on the back of a mecha-stegosaurus… ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > So these things are still finding suckers. I consider buying them more akin to gambling than investing, and I never gamble. However, I’m not sure buyers are suckers. At least – they aren’t suckers in the way Trump University students were, or contributors to his campaign are now. When the NFT’s first came out, they were used as evidence that Trump was dumb. Meanwhile the price is almost eight times higher than at the intial offering, and team Trump gets a 10 percent cut whenever there is a sale. Which may mean that a secondary market sale is now worth almost what Trump received initially for the card.
