Banks Beware: Eric Trump Says Crypto Will Eat Your Lunch 🥪

by

In the labyrinthine corridors of financial fate, where bankers still powder their wigs (metaphorically, although judging by Dubai’s humidity – perhaps literally), there appeared, not a spectral judge or Cossack, but one Eric Trump. Yes, that Trump, the dutiful son, who, by some mixture of destiny and frequent flier miles, materialized in Dubai—a city where camels and Lamborghinis race for prestige, and the ATMs probably issue Bitcoin and life advice.

Clutching a vision for a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin like an especially shiny samovar, Eric issued a thunderous admonition worthy of a czar’s proclamation: “Embrace crypto, ye banks, or let time sweep you into the dustbin alongside powdered wigs, telegraphs, and rotary phones!” He warned the audience, possibly consisting of well-tailored bankers and bemused sheikhs, their monocles trembling.

While old-world bankers still worship at the altar of paperwork, the United Arab Emirates twirls its mustache and winks at blockchain, attracting digital asset gurus, and crypto-Napoleons from all over the world. Every conference presents itself as a masquerade ball—half entrepreneurs, half snake oil salesmen, all thirsty for regulatory blessings. And in this bazaar, young Trump gleefully found his tribe: the Disruptors. “Why, these gleaming towers of Dubai will soon house more blockchain nodes than coffee shops!” he seemed to declare, his suit illuminated by the neon glow of future wealth.

With the gravity typically reserved for court jesters revealing scandalous secrets, Eric announced, “SWIFT? An utter disaster. A relic, like a bureaucrat in a fur coat at a pool party.” The very whisper of such heresy caused three investment bankers to choke on their croissants.

Banks, he mused, had apparently become servants to the gilded upper crust—a crust thicker than New York pizza, and twice as unpalatable for the common man. Ah, the poor peasants! Denied their loans while the oligarchs bought jets! Why, if the banks had their way, even Aunt Agrafena’s jam would be subject to a processing fee and a minimum balance requirement.

The highlight: On a stage in Abu Dhabi, surrounded by palm trees and crypto-maximalists, Eric delivered his own prophecy—not accompanied by thunder or apparitions, only enthusiastic nods—“Bitcoin will reach a million dollars!” The crowd gasped, Twitter swooned, and at least one bored camel pricked up its ears.

Thus, the Trump clan’s adventure into meme coins and digital wallets deepened, bringing with it confusion, opportunity, and—possibly—a new tradition: measuring family fortunes by the block instead of the bank. Somewhere, an old banker wept quietly into his worthless bond certificate. 🤷‍♂️💰🤑
