Non-fungible token (NFT) auction platform Drumpfs is auctioning 46,694 tweets from former United States President Donald Trump.

What Happened: An association of students who archived all of the tweets sent by Trump over the 12 years, his entire activity on Twitter, and are now auctioning them on Drumpfs.

The starting price for every NFT is 0.0232 Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH), equivalent to $56.53 as of press time.

According to the website, 97% of the proceeds will go to charity, while 3% will cover Drumpfs' expenses.

The charities include Americares, Medicine Without Borders, Clean Air Task Force, and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The website explained the selection process: "All profits from Drumpf sales go towards charities that champion things Trump despises. For example, funds from tweets attacking mail-in ballots go towards the ACLU."

What Else: An NFT is a cryptographic token where each unit is unique and has a value that is different from other NFTs, unlike the leading cryptocurrency, where each Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is exactly the same as any other Bitcoin.

This feature, called non-fungibility, makes NFTs particularly suitable for tokenizing real-world assets and unique digital collector's items or in-game goods.

One recent example is the limited edition Lamborghini Aventador that was tokenized alongside the right to use it in both the physical world but also digital world, with future video game integrations.

This one is a bargain at only $11,416.73 worth of ETH!

I want Covfefe!

Someone’s about to get loved tenderly for plagiarism.

Heh.  Read the part again about how the money is going to the SPLC.

In any case, this can't be legal...

Southern poverty law center. Hope they go for the minimum and don't cover their "expenses".

Southern Poverty Law Center is a Socialist front. This is just a fund raising scam for commies.

This is just fund raising for commies.

I think the fight would be between them and Twitter and not them and Trump.

I'll stick with Dogecoin thanks.

Wat

How are the tweets their property to sell via NFT? Does that mean I can archive and sell another famous persons Tweets?

I'll wait for Trump to do it, and bid on the "Nipples protuding" tweet.

Yep

Twitter has argued in court that the users own all of their tweets and personal information. They did this to avoid complying with a subpoena IIRC.

Edit: Apparently this is mirrored in the twitter TOS. You retain the rights to any content posted.

I would think money laundering personally.  

I don't think plagiarism means what you think it does.  Joe Biden plagiarized other authors and passed their work off as his own in law school, because he's dumb as a toaster.  

These guys that archived tweets aren't passing them off as anything other than public comments Trump made, no more than if they recorded him talking.
