1. Is that 'Nick Adams, alpha male" a parody account?

[dchill]

2. I don't think there's any real way to tell.

[dweller]

6. Nope ... he's real

Hang on, gotta go collect another of his ‘wise predictions’ … BRB

✌🏻

[SergeStorms]

16. I want to see Nick's receipt.

Show us, "Alpha Male", what a total idiot you are, or are you merely shilling for your hero, the Orange Pig?

Going to be worth millions some day, hmmmm?
He's either the world's second biggest idiot, or he's getting a cut of the profits, if indeed there are any.

[underpants]

8. I didn't realize I'd included his tweet

No I think it’s real. He’s just that stupid.

[SergeStorms]

18. Oh yeah, he's real.

Unfortunately. 🙄

Everyone should have a positive self-image, but this numbskull is so far over the top it's ludicrous.

[liberalmuse]

46. It has to be.

It screams troll.

[JI7]

65. Sounds like it but I have seen Right wingers retweeting him

But they also thought that Colbert was real.

[Jim__]

3. I think Seth is wrong when he says they're not limited in number. I believe they're limited to 20.

From Collect Trump Cards

Each Trump Digital Trading Card has a unique pre-assigned rarity. Some will be one-of-one’s (i.e. the only one in the world), while others will be limited to 2, 5, 7, or 10 copies. No Trump Digital Trading Card will have more than 20 copies in existence!

[Beetwasher.]

[LymphocyteLover]

44. LOL! Yup

[central scrutinizer]

58. This will replace the Brooklyn Bridge

In American idiom

[Maraya1969]

9. 20 X $99 is not a lot of money.

[rsdsharp]

12. There are 45,000, total (supposedly). That's nearly 4.5 million.

And all of that is pure profit, because there’s no way he paid the “artist,” or whoever will punch the send button for these things to appear in the rubes’ inboxes.

[Ms. Toad]

48. The artist, according to the website,

is Clark Mitchell

Award winning illustrator Clark Mitchell designed the beautiful imagery of the Trump Digital Trading Cards. With over 40 years of digital illustration and design, Clark has built a one-of-a-kind career. He has prominent working relationships with brands such as Star Wars, Hasbro, Mattel, Marvel, Time Magazine, Coors, Budweiser, Disney, Corona, and Coca-Cola. His journey has also led him into the sports and entertainment fields designing for the NBA, NFL, MLB, movies, musicians, professional athletes, and much more.

https://collecttrumpcards.com/

Whether he paid him or not is another question . . .

[EYESORE 9001]

15. He doesn't get anywhere near $99 a pop

I think he’ll get $10 apiece, tops.

[ShazzieB]

28. It's almost $2000.

That's a hell of a lot of money to some people.

[Ms. Toad]

50. There are at least 2250 individual cards,

so it's a lot more than $2,000 - especially since you can't choose which card you want - so you if you try to buy all cards you will get duplicates.

[LiberalLovinLug]

71. Not being able to buy your "favorite" one is just dumb

I guess he, or whomever put him up to this, thought it was mimicking baseball cards that you buy in packets and don't know what you got until you open the package. And so would seem more "authentic".

But I'd think that the Trump cult members that actually will go out and buy this will want to pick the one they want. Because many will only be able to scrape up the miminum of $100. Oooooooo look at President Trump in a room full of gold bars! Or oooooooo look at President Trump as an astronaut!

Just a dumb marketing strategy.

[hatrack]

45. $99 per digital cat turd is way too much to pay for a digital cat turd

.

[Generic Brad]

68. He could always sell used sports bras on Facebook Marketplace

That's how Senator Sinema would do it.

[WarGamer]

22. Seth probably didn't even check the website... yes 20 max per card

And they claim that SOME of the cards will be 1/1's...


But... I think ALL NFT's are stupid... this just takes th elevel of stupidity to a new level.

But YES they're NFT's.

[Initech]

4. Millions? That's a good one!

These things will be as worthless as a pile of Beanie Babies.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. They Already Are

They were worth $99 up to the moment some sucker ponied up the cash.
At that point, they became worthless.

[underpants]

39. My wife and I were just discussing/joking on this

Being accounting types we both thought - money laundering.

My side take is that if Putin really wanted to see how much Trump would dance for him, this would be a great way to see.

[Beetwasher.]

5. Better and Better

This could be one of the greatest things I've ever seen. I mean, it's just so fucking perfect in every way that he did this. It just encapsulates everything.

[rurallib]

10. WHAT A SURPRISE!

not

[HardPort]

13. I'm pretty sure this Nick Adams fellow is a parody who refuses to lose the persona. Right?

I mean, if this dude ain't writing satire he is long, long overdue for being installed in a rubber room.

[Initech]

14. The only things he tweets about are being an alpha male and eating at Hooters.

That account is so ridiculous that it's truly beyond parody.

[Celerity]

17. They are NFTs. The cards were created on the Ethereum sidechain network Polygon.

23. And THIS... is the correct answer.

40. 👍 thanks.

I’m leaving this up just for the comments.

[Celerity]

42. all good m8, cheers!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

59. OMG, if they're really eco-friently and carbon neutral, the TrumpSuckers

won't want to buy them!

[Hortensis]

63. Yes. Also funny tho, they're made with images

copied from Internet advertisements and other images. More being identified and confirmed. But, if so, did trump et al contract with the owners of these images to use them?

[AverageOldGuy]

19. The fine print also says:

Trump can retain and use your personal information including your credit card number.

[yardwork]

29. Interesting...

[70sEraVet]

36. Is that true, or are you making a joke?

I slogged through all of the legal disclaimer stuff, and I didn't see anything about retaining and using credit card numbers.

[Ford_Prefect]

20. Once again, with feeling this time..."The Grift that keeps on Grifting!"

Do you think they'll do an expansion pack once he's in prison?

[nilram]

21. I wonder how many will be sold to someone in Saudi Arabia?

Or Russia.

[Bev54]

24. LOL too funny. I hope somebody wants to waste $100 and

post them all over for anybody to copy for free.

[ffr]

25. Magatts that are $100 poorer. I couldn't be happier! Grifters gonna grift, folks!

Hillary's been telling you that from since before I can remember when.

I just hope they all go out and get some high interest loans so they can get stung, hard! Stoopeeds!

[Old Crank]

26. Nick Adams (Alpha Mark)

[jayschool2013]

27. How many sets will the Saudi royal family buy?

Sounds like a money-laundering scheme to me. Sure, he'll make a million or two from the MAGA dopes, but the real money is coming from accounts covering for bad actors around the world.

Just a hypothesis.

[Celerity]

34. entire grift (45000 NFTs at $99 a pop) is around 4.5 million, or less than 1/4 the cost of a Bugatti

43. I posted the same up thread.

It stinks, like everything associated with him, like money laundering.

31. Why bother with NFTs? If you're Stormy Daniels, you can get an actual mushroom-shaped piece

of the bloated superhero!!
Not only will the actual body part will be free, afterwards, you can get a $130,000 refund!!
WHAT A DEAL?

[COL Mustard]

35. I think I'm going to be sick now

Just thinking of him naked and ready to go....

[70sEraVet]

38. Sorry for that, Colonel. Right at dinner time too.

[COL Mustard]

32. Those would be unsuitable for anything other....

Than printing them on a luxurious 2 or 3 ply paper and using them on the porcelain convenience.

[Mother Of Four]

53. All due respect ....

But I don't want anything even remotely looking like the waterlogged cheetomeister near my nether bits thank you very much.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

33. Can I buy pre-funged art with defunct crypto?

I need to diversify from my collection of pre-funged buttplugs and dildos.

Party on.

37. Sell them to Elon

41. Nick Adams has to be a troll persona. No one is that ridiculous of a person.

[Celerity]

47. Nick Adams (born Nicholas Adamopoulos; born September 5, 1985) is an Australian-born American

conservative political commentator and author.

Adams came to public attention on March 3, 2017, when Donald Trump made favorable comments and tweets about his work, notably a tweet promoting Adams' book Green Card Warrior and a second tweet on August 25, 2017 promoting his book Retaking America

[Ms. Toad]

52. I believe Abramson is wrong.

From the website, no more than 20 copies of any single "card" will be issued, with a maximum of 45,000 this run (44,000 for sale). There may be as few as 1 copy of some images.

They were, according to the website not photoshopped jpgs, but designed by artist Clark Mitchell

[underpants]

55. Apparently he was. I left this up for the comments.

[lillypaddle]

54. For other DUers like myself, who are not in the "know"

non-fungible tokens
NFT means non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which are generally created using the same type of programming used for cryptocurrencies. In simple terms these cryptographic assets are based on blockchain technology. They cannot be exchanged or traded equivalently like other cryptographic assets.Oct 17, 2022

I still don't know what that means.

73. Thanks, but no

[NJCher]

56. when I read this stuff

I just think about how serious historians--people like Jon Meacham and Michael Beschloss--will write about this.

And decades down the road--like in 2050 or 2070--how will this period in our history be viewed?

I personally find it incredible that there are enough stupid people in this nation (where we pay enormous amounts for a free education for everyone) that can be conned by this idiot. He's not even smart, he's a dimwit. Yet these fools are lapping this up.

[llmart]

57. I honestly thought this was the Onion.

So, are these like baseball cards for Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays and Roger Maris back in my youth? At least those came with some pink bubblegum.

I can't imagine how stupid one has to be to fall for his grifts continuously.

I’m sitting here waiting for the car to be serviced and I laughed out loud!

[burrowowl]

67. It boggles the mind!

[BadGimp]

69. I am not certain this is correct.

The folks at COINDESK did a video panel on the topic, and one of the panelists bought one, and from what he said, they are NFTs.

FYI: I work in the NFT space and follow the news rather closely. If I learn any more I'll share it here.

[intrepidity]

70. I wondered about duplicates.

I mean, duplicates *nearly* render them fungible, right?

[40RatRod]

72. They probably will be collector items a thousand years from now to show how stupid people were...

...who lived in our times.
