The OnlyFans star, Mia Khalifa, told her Twitter followers today that she caved and "bought the dog stocks lmaoooooo."
The OnlyFans star Mia Khalifa has apparently bought Dogecoin, according to a tweet posted today.
"Okay, I caved and bought the dog stocks hahahahahaha," she told her 3.4 million followers on Twitter.
In this case, Khalifa seems to be referring to the popular cryptocurrency Dogecoin, which is a "memecoin" originally created by Jackson Palmer as a joke. But after the founder left the project, it somehow continued and ended up becoming a fan favorite. The cryptocurrency is based on the "Doge" meme featuring a Shiba Inu dog named Kabosu.
On January 27, Khalifa also revealed that she had been buying small amounts of real stocks that were being driven by the infamous subreddit Wall Street Bets, including GameStop, which peaked at $469.
Dogecoin has often seen large spikes and drops (sometimes due to TikTok campaigns trying to get it to $1). But in the last day, its price surged, reaching a new all-time high of $0.078, a 400% increase.
The pump occurred after a tweet from the unofficial account WSBChairman on Twitter, which is not run by those behind Wall Street Bets. This account went from 12,000 followers on Tuesday to 750,000 today, giving it more influence. The account simply tweeted: "Has Doge ever been at a dollar?"
While the WallStreetBets subreddit generally rejects cryptocurrencies, many other WSB-themed groups have been established on Telegram, Discord, and elsewhere—where many of them have been excessively promoting Dogecoin.
But it seems Khalifa bought the cryptocurrency at its peak. At the time of her tweet, Dogecoin was at $0.074. Since then, it has fallen to $0.048, a 35% decrease.
