Really tragic news: A crypto trader known as @Mistafuyoù (aka "Im really poor") took his own life during a livestream on X after losing $500 in a meme coin rug pull.
He was clearly overwhelmed by the financial and emotional fallout. In the stream, he loaded a revolver and said, "If I die, make me a meme coin." The gun misfired twice before finally discharging. It was an incredibly disturbing moment witnessed live by his followers.
What’s even more unsettling is that just minutes after his death, new meme coins using his name and image started popping up. It’s raised a lot of questions in the crypto space about ethics and the dark, exploitative side of meme coin culture.
This is a harsh reminder: only invest what you can afford to lose.
