Hawk Tuah
Pump and dump
Oh come on now
I can only imagine that the writers at The Onion are going insane because they just can't compete with reality anymore.
At this point they're just the news. Actually they're more accurate. No creativity needed anymore.
why do you think they bought infowars?

Yeah, isn't it more of a spit and quit?

That's the last time I invest in an opportunity championed by someone who's only claim to fame is their explanation of how to properly suck a dick.
hey now id like to see you transform that claim to fame into a wildly successful media presence /halfjoke
Cash me outside girl gets an idea.
At this stage, I have no sympathy for anyone dumb enough to invest in an obvious pump-n-dumps.
there’s more people out there than you think. your exposure to the concept is relatively niche and privelaged, i think there’s still massive chunks of the population with exploitable cash out there that cons like this seek to exploit
I understand that, but I seriously doubt these people are losing essential money. If you can afford to buy Hawk Tuah coins for the 'community aspect' then they probably aren't at risk of losing their life saving.
There's a big gap between what's happening here and telescammers robbing grannies for example.
you’re free to believe that, without proof there’s no argument either way, and in any case it’s my personal belief this kind of manipulation of assets should be illegal no matter the target audience
Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming this isn't insider manipulation, or that it should be legal.
What I'm saying is people have a personal responsibility to be informed about the risks associated with cryptocurrency.
At this point, if you lose money on a pump-n-dumps, that's all on you.
The same could not be said five years ago, when influencer coins were unheard of.

Every time a notable/famous person or "influencer" or whatever talks about a crypto coin, it is a pump and dump. Shes just doing what all the other scumbag influencers are doing.
For years now crypto has just been another tool to extract wealth from the lower class.
You think she gets tired of being called a "girl"?
definitely. despite her bad actions i do feel bad for the misogyny she experiences. especially the whole getting pressured to make an OF stuff. i hope it doesn’t get to her and she can grow past the bad shit and have a fulfilling life
Only if the money dries up.
Edit: I feel I should clarify. If I could make a living doing very little and being called a ___ girl. I’d take it too. And I’m a cis male.
Yeah i'd take being called a something "boy" if that brand made me money.
In fact i'm being called "boy" more time than i can count due to my short stature and i'm not even making much dough.
Relevant user name, but sorry dude, that’s bullshit.
People used to call me big guy when I was younger and it also annoyed me (felt like they were talking to me like a little kid). I hope it gets better as you get older, it did for me.

Spit on that candlestick
i don’t get this one
Oh right, the candlestick is the name given to a type of "error bar" chart in trading. When a pump and dump scheme happens, it typically draws a big big candlestick on charts.
And, y'know, benis :DDDD
i chuckled lmao ty for explaining
And, y’know, benis :DDDD
ebin :DDDD
FUUGGGG X-DDDDD
Good for her I guess?
- getting the bag ✅
- legal ✅ (but shouldn’t be)
- ethical ❌
- funny ✅
- doesn’t contribute to systemic oppression by the ruling class ✅
i dunno, passes more vibe checks than most disgusting people i hear about these days 🤷♀️
I mean, the only people who got ripped off are Crypto bros soooooo
Nope, she marketed specifically to fans that are new to crypto by saying it's a way to interact with her.
Crypto bros don't fall for those obvious scam , but they fall for other more complex scam like Luna . That's just normal peoples getting robbed by influencer
not true. disturbed by the upvotes at this misconception—crypto bros are the scammers, she marketed to fans who had never touched blockchain before as a fresh market of exploitable cash.

If she promises to make her podcast 'Talk Tuah' go away, then I say we call it squaresies
No lies detected
It's definitely not legal, it's more a matter of 'if' the SEC gets involved than 'can' the SEC get involved.
She made a million+ in fees and facilitated a presale of multiple millions in validation, it definitely contributed to rich getting richer activities.
Wait! The coin is called "Hawk" ? And they didn't spect a "Tuah"? That's hilariously funny
The Hawk & Tuah scheme
This timeline sure is stupid
It's funny how everyone was calling here just some dumb bj girl and now she's suddenly a criminal mastermind...
Would've been a mastermind had she succeeded, now she's just a dumb bj criminal. She's sullied the reputation of good bjs.

I don't want to live in this reality anymore.
I guess she hawked and tuahed that coin amirite haha
I eagerly await the inevitable coffeezilla video
already exists https://youtu.be/zUHq8AWR1Rg
Ah, a side channel I’d never heard of. Thanks!
I guess the podcast thing wasn't going well and this is the attempt to cash out on the last few seconds of her 5 minutes of fame?
so my understanding is actually that she’s more of an exploited middleman/useful idiot in this situation
from her videos its obvious that a) she has a pretty big management team backing her and b) she actually has no clue what she is talking about with crypto
from this i conclude (could be wrong but my best guess given what i have seen) that it’s actually her team that’s cashing out on her by approving and aiding whatever crypto devs approached her with this move. she’ll probably make a good profit of course, but it strikes me as her PR team intentionally kneecapping her on the way out.
