Next time reddit will cut out the middleman and just sell rugs.
The “fuck spez” rug will be the best seller. When it inevitably gets pulled out from under each buyer they’ll act all shocked, say “better not do that again, spez” and then go right back to standing on it because their friends are all standing on theirs too.
Every time I see a rug pull, I giggle and consider making Rugcoin until I remember that it already exists along with several others, all instantly rugged.
my favorite is $SAFERUG
What’s this? You’re telling me that crypto based on Reddit blockchain points—points from a company that’s constantly making rash decisions and removing large features—didn’t end well? And people with inside info were able to get out before this concept failed?
Man, if only someone could’ve seen this coming….
From TFA:
moderator u/Mcgillby. On-chain data reveals that this moderator transferred more than 100,000 MOON over two different transactions on the Arbitrum Nova blockchain, turning it into more than $23,000
If there’s a dollar sign, it’s not play money anymore and the FTC should get involved.
There was no way that coin was going to sustain itself like Spez claimed it would.
People weren’t going to buy crypto coins, just to give content creators medals. And the idea that medals would give more power to these people, except not really and only in polls.
This was such a jigsaw puzzle of shit, before you realized that each community was supposed to make their own coin that could only be used in that community.
At that point, it is a coin trying to be as complex as possible, without really doing anything that you paid money for.

Sums up the state of crypto pretty well
I do think that crypto does have a place in the future, but not as a security, which is the current mindset behind most crypto.
Where others deposit large amounts of wealth into a pile… and that money is supposed to grow infinitely…
That’s not how you use a currency like the USD or British pound are used. Money is a tool for us to understand the value of our items that we exchange or our labor that we create.
It has to circulate like a blood flow through an economy. And crypto is treating it more like a blood clot.
Anyone who invests in the Reddit IPO is a sucker.
Doesn’t this constitute insider trading? Sincerely hope some redditor takes them to court.
