- Last weekend, Andrew Tate received a 580M TOPG token donation.
- Tate mocks crypto traders and faces immense backlash from the community.
- Claiming to be โbuilt differently,โ Tate sends $12.88M of TOPG to the incinerator.
Controversial influencer Andrew Tate has been known for his provocative tweets and an on-and-off relationship with cryptocurrencies. However, Tateโs stance on crypto took an interesting turn last weekend, when he pledged to sabotage Solanaโs (SOL) Layer-1 chain. โI WILL CRASH THE SOLANA NETWORK,โ he declared, accompanied by a burning Elmo meme.
“Chaos Advocate” Tate Ridiculed on X
Things got even stranger when Tate was mocked by crypto aficionados on X. For instance, Helios Lab CEO 0xMert advised the American-British former kickboxer to โlearn to grow a proper beard first,โ followed by an Ice Cube meme and over 600 likes.
โI am an agent of chaos with no financial goals. Itโs not about money. Itโs about sending a message,โ Tate continued, with the majority of comments doubting his ability to destroy Solanaโs blockchain.
Tate Blazes $12.88M Worth of Fan-Sent Crypto
The infamous influencer’s wild Friday continued with a pledge to burn one million of his TOPG tokens.
This Hustler University-approved memecoin surged by 130% after Tateโs Solana burning resulted in $37 million worth of memecoins being incinerated. Nevertheless, Tateโs true intentions are questioned by most of the crypto community.
After an intense weekend of tweeting, the notorious toxic masculinity proponent advised his nine million followers to buy GameStop stock, which served as a catalyst in the last few recent bull runs for memecoins. Tate also ironically responded to his brother Tristan’s derogatory comments about the crypto community.
Lambasting crypto aficionados as โcry babies and scammers,โ Tristan’s tweet openly blamed crypto fans for an influx of notifications on his phone, which seemed to have amused Andrew.
On the Flipside
- Several popular crypto personalities have issued warnings about the celebrity-themed meme currency tsunami, which has already resulted in multi-million dollar rug pulls.
Why This Matters
Celebrities getting involved in crypto can bolster awareness about blockchain, but it also imposes several challenges due to the lack of accountability in cases of unlawful promotion.
