Talk:$Trump

Rename

Once the afd is over, we should consider moving the article to a more descriptive, less ambiguous title like $Trump (meme coin). — hako9 (talk) 06:39, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

There is no other title for $Trump, I think we should stick on the title. Much likely they'll oppose. Royiswariii Talk! 12:43, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Who are "they"? What are you talking about? Don't expect users to land on this article without typing in meme coin or some permutation of it. — hako9 (talk) 13:03, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Bitcoin, Dogecoin doesn't have a "(coin)" or "(cryptocurrency)" because it's a only topic and only name about Bitcoin and Dogecoin, On $Trump, it's similar on two of I mentioned. If you want to push the $Trump (meme coin) just redirect it per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Royiswariii Talk! 13:10, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Why would a user type Bitcoin (coin) to find an article about bitcoin? Making a new redirect is akin to arguing that no article should ever be renamed because a search suggestion dropdown to the relevant article is just fine. — hako9 (talk) 13:50, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

I agree that $Trump is not the best name. We should wait a few days and see what the press calls it. Quick Google search shows: $Trump meme coin, Trump meme coin, $Trump coin. Only rarely is $Trump used without extra qualifier. Hence I'd favor a natural title over parentheses. The parentheses suggest that it's known as $Trump and meme coin is added only a disambiguation. Whereas if people call it $Trump coin or $Trump memecoin in real life those are perfectly fine titles without parentheses. AncientWalrus (talk) 08:41, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Agree, $TRUMP is the symbol, not the name. The other currencies don't use the symbol as its title. 195.191.219.67 (talk) 18:40, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Agree it looks odd to use the symbol. "Trump meme coin" is not specific enough, there are some different coins that it could be, it would have to be at least "Trump's meme coin" as many sources refer to it, maybe even "Trump's 2025 meme coin"? Selfstudier (talk) 19:26, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

$TRUMP or $Trump

It would be good to have consistent usage of either upper or lower case for the name of the coin. Right now, both are used. I would suggest using lower case as it is how most reliable sources refer to it (caps aren't easy on the eye). If we reach consensus, it would be good to document this in hidden comment, akin to spelling conventions, to ensure consistency. AncientWalrus (talk) 08:48, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

I will support for $TRUMP, since President Donald Trump acknowledged his cryptocurrency name on X post as "$TRUMP". ROY is WAR Talk! 09:43, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Major scam

I followed the instructions at Truth Details | Truth Social within a few hours after Trump posted, but the Moonshot app that I was directed to wouldn't allow me to register. After constantly trying, I was able to register yesterday. First, I had to pay almost a $5 fee & then $TRUMP lost about 60% of its value. It hasn't and don't think will bounce back. That is why Erik Voorhees said, "Trumpcoin is stupid and embarrassing" Arbeiten8 (talk) 10:55, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear. However, Wikipedia's core principle is to rely on reliable sources not personable experience. (Not a soapbox) AncientWalrus (talk) 22:05, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

It's a Pump and dump. Trump Coin Sparks Fury As Industry Grapples With Pump-And-Dump Dread Arbeiten8 (talk) 05:38, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

I thought that meant almost all would be sold, but he's keeping 80%, so seems hard to call it a 'dump' (regardless if many large buyers bought low and sold high... most might be third parties). Historically it was problematic if someone owned 50% of a cryptocurrency, but that may just be if it's mined or staked, but I don't know it is (it's more ones like bitcoin are mined and ones like ethereum are staked but I don't know 'meme coins' are)--dchmelik☀️🦉🐝🐍(talk|contrib) 15:31, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

On January 19th 2025, Sunday, the $TRUMP meme coin unit price reached $75. Right now, it is about $17. Going from $75 to $17 represents a decrease of approximately 77.33%.

77% loss of Bernie Madoff's $65 billion assets is about $50 billion. "The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) trustee estimated actual direct losses to investors of $18 billion" for the Bernie Madoff scandal. The demonized Madoff who died in prison & whose 2 sons killed themselves in frustration didn't take as huge a cut as Trump. Arbeiten8 (talk) 17:25, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Every crypto coin is down from all time highs from January. And Trump has never sold any of his holdings, so he has not "dumped" anything. If you're financially illiterate, don't comment. Thanks! Thesmallfriendlygiant (talk) 06:31, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Criticism in lead

Given the amount of continuing criticism around this coin, latest here "Ethics experts have widely condemned Trump’s coin as creating serious and unprecedented conflicts of interest" in the Guardian's own voice, shouldn't we see some reflection of this in the lead? Selfstudier (talk) 16:18, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

Additional actions needed for site link

While it's not being done heavily, there have been several attempts here to change the site link. Given that these are likely bad actors trying to direct people to a different cryptocurrency or some other scam, is some level of protection, perhaps pending changes, warranted? TornadoLGS (talk) 22:07, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Actually, based on protection history, I will put in a request at RfPP. TornadoLGS (talk) 22:09, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
