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)Reply
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)Reply
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)Reply
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)Reply
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)Reply

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)Reply
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)Reply
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%.

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?
