if you go to the URL on the poster you'll see that this is actually marketing for a cryptocurrency grift: their token, issued this week, is "trading" at just $0.00014545 and has 999.95M units "circulating", which gives it a "market cap" of a whopping $146k ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿค‘!!1one

(for anyone unclear on what this means)most, hopefully all, of the 118 "holders" of this "asset" are of course actually the issuer of it, who is "trading" it with themself for the purpose of tricking other people into believing that a "market" for it exists so that they will give them money for it.

i recommend deleting this post.

Uhhh, would it be sufficient for me to put a CW on it cuz I still think it's funny

i also found it funny (and far enough in to poe's law territory that i had to check the site to figure out what category it was in... crypto scam was not one of my expectations)

I was half expecting it to link to Big Money Salvia's merch page. Seems like a bit he'd pull.
