PT Barnum was wrong. There isn't a sucker born every minute. There are bunches of suckers born every minute. Like a gushing geyser.

Everything about this makes me not want to live on this planet anymore.

Getting rugged by crypto is already making it impossible for me to not say you deserve it.
But getting crypto rugged by a 5 second fame industry plant?
Almost hysterical if it weren't so depressing.

Good, sometimes idiots need separated from their money. If you bought in to "hawk coin" thinking you were gonna make a quick buck and lost your ass, you played the market and lost. Rub some dirt in it.

When are people going learn that famous people are just that. Nothing more, nothing less. Stop idolising people that achieved F@#oll, besides kardashifying their existence.

how is it a rug pull? Anyone with three quarters of a brain could tell that the fame wouldn't last.

A rug pull is when for example one of these influencers markets and promotes a crypto, "pumping" the value up because people invest, and then immediately sells or "dumps" their share (usually a significant amount) as soon as possible, causing the value to plummet and leaving the other investors holding the bag.

It's not to do with her fame not lasting, although I agree anybody with half a brain didn't invest in this obvious scam lol

This is the stupidest shit I've ever heard I don't even know anymore

For starters, the original meme is unfunny as fuck, and kinda disgusting

Maybe investments based on five minutes of fame aren't a great idea. Just sayin. For that we have onlyfans.

technically it isn't criminal because it's a memecoin 🤓☝️
