Cancel the Crypto Tax! 🇺🇸

An interactive, AI-driven negotiation web game powered by OpenGradient TEE (Trusted Execution Environment).

The Mission

President Donald J. Trump is determined to impose a 90% tax on all cryptocurrency gains, believing "crypto people are getting too rich, too fast".

Your mission is to step into the Oval Office and convince him to drop this tax to 0%. He is stubborn, boastful, and thinks he knows best. To win, your argument must be patriotic, brilliant, and show him how dropping the tax will make him look like a total winner.
