Crypto Trader Kills Himself on X Live to Create a Meme Coin
A crypto trader known as MistaFuccYou shot himself live on X (formerly Twitter) after losing his last $500 in a meme coin rug pull on Friday night.
Before pulling the trigger, MistaFuccYou loaded a revolver on stream and said: “If I die, make me a meme coin.” The gun misfired twice. On the third attempt, it fired.
The livestream, which ran for over 30 minutes after his death, had him bleeding out while the crypto community reacted in real-time as meme coins using his name flooded the market within minutes.
The meme coin community is pure evil

MistaFuccYou, who also went by “Im really poor,” was 23 years old, according to users on X and Reddit. His posts on X show a bit of mental health struggles, and some in the community believe the suicide was also tied to a breakup as he used to talk about his “shorty,” but suddenly stopped around two weeks before the incident.
MistaFuccYou’s death turns into a meme coin circus
Minutes after he died, a meme token called “Mistacoin” appeared, with a developer sending him 70% of the total supply before his death. Reactions on Crypto Twitter were mixed. Some traders rushed to buy the tokens, betting on the hype. Others condemned the community. One X user broke it down:
“So let me get this straight. This guy starts streaming live on X. Gets scammed. Asks for refunds. Pulls out a six-shooter. Says ‘If I die, make a meme out of me,’ pulls the trigger three times. Dies. Stream continues for 30 minutes. And people instantly create a meme coin? WTF?”
“The meme coin industry is pure evil,” another person wrote. “This guy literally went live to play Russian Roulette to pump a coin, and it ended up killing him.”
A user wrote: “I’m not gonna post the video or even a pic cause it’s so messed up, but a guy actually just shot himself in the head with the final words “I hope you all turn this into a memecoin.” And literally what do you think mfers here did right away? If you’re trading this, you’re sick af.”
Another trader named Dani called out the hypocrisy:
“We’ve seen ‘Justice For’ coins, ‘RIP’ coins, coins based on every tragedy imaginable. But this time, the guy literally asked for it. Now everyone’s acting like they have morals?”
Some believe MistaFuccYou was playing Russian roulette, a dangerous game where a person loads one bullet into a gun revolver, spins its cylinder, and pulls the trigger while aiming at their head, which fits his actions as we’ve described above.
Others speculated it was a viral stunt that spiraled out of control. MistaFuccYou had openly asked for a meme coin in his name, and a developer had sent him 70% of a coin’s supply, fueling the theory that this was a marketing ploy that went too far.
Despite the shocking nature of the livestream, no major news outlets have reported on the incident, and law enforcement has not released an official statement. Right now, the only sources of information are X, Reddit, and crypto circles, leaving many details unclear. His real identity is still unknown. The authenticity of the livestream hasn’t been verified by authorities.
