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….
Anyone who invests in the Reddit IPO is a sucker.
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.

Doesn’t this constitute insider trading? Sincerely hope some redditor takes them to court.
Do insider trading and market manipulation laws apply to crypto, an unregulated speculative asset? This isn’t rhetorical, I’ve no idea.
I am also curious. On the one hand, if you tax any gains from it you should also make sure it operates within some legal framework. On the other hand, would anybody investigate a magic bean salesman for insider trading? Would they rather charge them with scamming?
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.
What does this mean?
Reddit introduced a crypto as a way to monetize Reddit gold so users would get paid for posting. They abruptly cancelled the program after people had already bought into it but it looks like some insiders at Reddit got the news first- they sold their shares before they announced the cancellation. Basically Reddit committed investment fraud.
I’m not sure this is correct.
The community tokens crypto has been around since 2020. I think that’s separate from the new gold monetization scheme.
I don’t really use Reddit anymore, but my understanding was some subreddits had crypto coins, but Reddit withdrew gold and formally started supporting these crypto tokens instead after the API exodus had happened.
Crypto. Is. A. Scam.
