A Kid Made $50k Dumping Crypto He'd Created. Then Came the Backlash (wired.com)

What idiots buy a memecoin from some random dude online, especially on a site that is literally about creating zillions of worthless memecoins? "A fool and his money are soon parted." They have zero basis to be angry.

tl;dr: Good for the kid, though I hope he learned a little lesson about security.


+1 that.

Also, it seems like one of the popular ways to make money with crypto is this sort of "pump and dump" scheme, and so the "investors" should have been aware of the pattern at least.
