Share your craziest crypto story. I’ll go first: I accidentally helped create a 100,000x and made $0

Back in 2021 BSC mania I was approached by the founder of MoneyShot which was a token tied to the adult industry. Dev wanted exposure through my Twitter account and as part of that he sent me 5 billion HOT tokens at launch

My % was valued at around 1 dollar (LOL)

I remember looking into the project and getting a bad feeling about it. I didn’t like the adult narrative and the dev seemed far more excited about rugging my audience than building an actual product

I decided I wanted nothing to do with it but I already held a measly 1 dollar in worthless tokens

Most people would’ve just held them and sold at the first pump

Instead I decided to just give them all away

All 5 billion of them…

THE ENTIRE ONE DOLLAR 😭

I started sending millions of HOT tokens to random followers and community members

My thinking was if this thing is going to end badly I’d rather the community have some fun with these tokens than sit on a giant allocation from a founder I don’t trust

The giveaway itself created attention

Twitter started talking about HOT

Holder counts exploded

Transactions exploded

More people discovered the token

The chart started moving

HOT went from 9->4 zeros

So from around 0.0000000002 to roughly 0.00002

A 100,000x move

Yes you read that correctly, a one hundred thousand X

So that 5 billion HOT I’d originally been given was worth around $100,000 at the peak

Except I didn’t own them anymore

I’d already given them all away

So while everyone else was celebrating the pump I was sitting there watching a 6 figure position that “could’ve” been mine

Eventually the token collapsed and everyone started dumping on each other

Accusations started flying and somehow I ended up being blamed despite the fact I never sold a single HOT token because I no longer had any

Dev was calling me on telegram from Australia threatening to kill me??? 😭

To this day I think it’s one of the funniest and most absurd lessons I’ve learned in crypto

I tried to stop a founder from eventually dumping a giant allocation on people by giving the bag away

The giveaway itself helped create the hype that sent the token vertical but put me in the spotlight as the “shiller”

And the one person who didn’t make any money from it was me

But I held ALL the corn for the downfall

Moral of the story, if anyone gives you a dollar, treat it like $100k 😂

Has anyone else got a crypto story this ridiculous?
