The video was originally posted by the official account of Melania\u2019s cryptocurrency<\/a>, $MELANIA, then shared by the First Lady\u2019s personal X account.<\/p>\n

Though neither the caption nor the video itself expressed a clear promotional message like, \u201cHey, did you know I have a cryptocurrency? You should buy it or do whatever one does with crypto,\u201d her retweet worked \u2026 sort of? The price of her meme coin jumped 7 percent after the post, though it\u2019s lost almost all of its value since launching in January, as Decrypt explained<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The official\u00a0Solana<\/a>\u00a0meme coin of Melania Trump (MELANIA) is up nearly 7% in the last 24 hours after the First Lady\u00a0promoted an apparently AI-generated video<\/a>\u00a0of herself posted by the token\u2019s official X account.\u00a0MELANIA is now trading at $0.182, up more than 12% on the week, but still down roughly 99% from its January all-time high of $13.05. It briefly popped to a daily high of $0.191 following the first lady\u2019s retweet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Still, it does not appear that \u201cinto the future\u201d and Melania materializing out of thin air have some obvious meaning that normies are missing. People in the crypto world actually had even more questions, as the $MELANIA social account hasn\u2019t shared anything since June and the post did not address the many<\/a> controversies<\/a> swirling around the meme coin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The video was originally posted by the official account of Melania\u2019s cryptocurrency, $MELANIA, then shared by the First…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":100577,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[261],"tags":[291,289,290,63826,18,19,17,30888,790,82,63827],"class_list":{"0":"post-100576","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-early-and-often","12":"tag-eire","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-melania-trump","16":"tag-politics","17":"tag-technology","18":"tag-tremendous-content"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100576\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
