    <p>Trump previously promoted this collection by offering dinners at his golf club or pieces of the suit he was arrested in, but now if you’re one of the first 100 people willing to purchase 100 cards at $99 each using Wrapped Ethereum, then you can receive a “ONE-OF-ONE BITCOIN ORDINAL DIGITAL TRADING CARD.”</p>
    <p>NFT INT LLC, the firm that licenses Trump’s likeness for these NFTs, needed to come up with an alternative way to promote the ‘MugShot Edition’ collection because uptake has been slow. The collection was supposed to contain 100,000 cards, but OpenSea shows approximately <strong>48,500, less than half of the total amount</strong>.&nbsp;</p>

    <p>However, more recently, blockchain analysis firm Arkham highlighted a wallet associated with Trump sending approximately $2.4 million in ether to Coinbase, presumably to liquidate his earnings.</p>

    <p>While Trump is able to liquidate his earnings, <strong>these MugShot cards cannot currently be liquidated</strong>, as they cannot easily be transferred until the end of this year.</p>
