Squid Game Currency: When the Series Turns into a Digital Trap!
In 2021, people gathered around their screens to watch the Korean series "Squid Game," and they were filled with excitement and shock. Then one of them thought to themselves:
"I wonder, if this game were real... would I win?!"
Days passed, and a mysterious team appeared online, announcing a new cryptocurrency called $SQUID, claiming it was the golden ticket to participate in an online game inspired by the series.
They were told: "Pay, play, win!"
People thought to themselves:
"This is the investment of the century! Netflix is about to enter the crypto world!"
(As if Netflix needed our help to fund season two).
In just a few days, the currency jumped from a meager price to $2800!
Investors cheered with joy until one of them came to sell and take profits... only to discover the truth:
The button doesn't work!
Yes, no selling, no withdrawals, no "Game Over"... just a screen that says:
"Stay put. You lost."
Then... the site disappeared.
And the founding team vanished.
The currency turned into a smoke bubble, and over $3.3 million was stolen in the blink of an eye.
