Hawk Tuah
Pump and dump
Oh come on now
Yeah, isn't it more of a spit and quit?
It could be, but pump and dump might still be accurate since she basically fucked them and then shit on them
That's the last time I invest in an opportunity championed by someone who's only claim to fame is their explanation of how to properly suck a dick.
hey now id like to see you transform that claim to fame into a wildly successful media presence /halfjoke
Cash me outside girl gets an idea.
At this stage, I have no sympathy for anyone dumb enough to invest in an obvious pump-n-dumps.
there’s more people out there than you think. your exposure to the concept is relatively niche and privelaged, i think there’s still massive chunks of the population with exploitable cash out there that cons like this seek to exploit
I understand that, but I seriously doubt these people are losing essential money. If you can afford to buy Hawk Tuah coins for the 'community aspect' then they probably aren't at risk of losing their life saving.
There's a big gap between what's happening here and telescammers robbing grannies for example.
Explain the privilege please.
They purposefully went after people who know nothing about crypto. But yeah it was pretty obvious for those who know anything above "buy Bitcoin"
Every time a notable/famous person or "influencer" or whatever talks about a crypto coin, it is a pump and dump. Shes just doing what all the other scumbag influencers are doing.
For years now crypto has just been another tool to extract wealth from the lower class.
You think she gets tired of being called a "girl"?
definitely. despite her bad actions i do feel bad for the misogyny she experiences. especially the whole getting pressured to make an OF stuff. i hope it doesn’t get to her and she can grow past the bad shit and have a fulfilling life
Only if the money dries up.
Edit: I feel I should clarify. If I could make a living doing very little and being called a ___ girl. I’d take it too. And I’m a cis male.
Good for her I guess?
- getting the bag ✅
- legal ✅ (but shouldn’t be)
- ethical ❌
- funny ✅
- doesn’t contribute to systemic oppression by the ruling class ✅
i dunno, passes more vibe checks than most disgusting people i hear about these days 🤷♀️
If she promises to make her podcast 'Talk Tuah' go away, then I say we call it squaresies
No lies detected
It's definitely not legal, it's more a matter of 'if' the SEC gets involved than 'can' the SEC get involved.
She made a million+ in fees and facilitated a presale of multiple millions in validation, it definitely contributed to rich getting richer activities.
Wait! The coin is called "Hawk" ? And they didn't spect a "Tuah"? That's hilariously funny
The Hawk & Tuah scheme
It's funny how everyone was calling here just some dumb bj girl and now she's suddenly a criminal mastermind...
Would've been a mastermind had she succeeded, now she's just a dumb bj criminal. She's sullied the reputation of good bjs.
right, haha! this comment might be insightful to you: https://lemmy.cafe/comment/8811268
This timeline sure is stupid
Yeah right? People getting scammed because they believed in a random woman solely because she talked about oral sex in funny way.
I don't want to live in this reality anymore.
I guess she hawked and tuahed that coin amirite haha
I guess the podcast thing wasn't going well and this is the attempt to cash out on the last few seconds of her 5 minutes of fame?
so my understanding is actually that she’s more of an exploited middleman/useful idiot in this situation
from her videos its obvious that a) she has a pretty big management team backing her and b) she actually has no clue what she is talking about with crypto
from this i conclude (could be wrong but my best guess given what i have seen) that it’s actually her team that’s cashing out on her by approving and aiding whatever crypto devs approached her with this move. she’ll probably make a good profit of course, but it strikes me as her PR team intentionally kneecapping her on the way out.
I see bit-coiners as people that suddenly decide that the limited can-ashtrays done by a particular homeless that they hoarded now have an astronomical value and you must recognise it and accept the value they represent to them… regardless of the arguments about “printing money is the same”, why should I accept an unilaterally self-proclaimed wealth system value done by some dudes with even no ties to my representative government? If you want me to recognise the value of an invented block chain system begin by distribute all its value equally among all the human beings in the world, then I may start to consider it.
