“‘Thin air,’ real money”—The new 8-bit video game
Trump called crypto “thin air.” Last year, he reported $1.4 billion in income from it. Buyers of his crypto? They’re an estimated $4.7 billion underwater.
Public Citizen made an 8-bit game out of it—
📈 Play as Trump: you cannot lose money.
📉 Play as an investor: you cannot win.
The game is at thinairrealmoney.com.
If a 50-page .pdf with 260 footnotes is more your style, you can read the report the game is based on: “‘Thin Air,’ Real Money: Donald Trump’s Crypto Products Have Left Investors at Least $4.7 Billion Underwater.”
Programing note
I’ll be demoing the game live on Public Citizen’s Substack at 11:30 ET today.
