Crypto Twitter Takes It Out on Aptos
However, the success of the emerging alternative cryptocurrency Aptos (APT) is often overshadowed by controversy. Today, the inconvenient question of “is Aptos just another VC scam?” was raised again in a recent video episode of Coinage Media.

In the episode exclusively dedicated to the market newcomer Aptos, popular crypto YouTuber Gabriel Haines lashed out at Aptos, alleging that it’s a “Goddamn scam,” and pointed out that whales on Crypto Twitter deliberately pumped it.
As if that wasn’t enough, the crypto YouTuber boldly claims that Aptos blockchain has “literally no reason to exist, other than to put money in the bags of rich, smelly, venture capitalists.”
Whether cloudy judgment or not, it’s as clear as day that many crypto aficionados on Twitter tend to second that opinion. To illustrate, crypto trader Multichain Madman remarked, “Aptos has to be the most obviously manipulated large crypto. Scam candles at just the right times lol.” Besides, Aptos developers were called out by Crypto Twitter in January when the dubious 420% price rally took place.
Shining Moment for Aptos Amid Chaos
According to multiple crypto traders on Twitter, the max supply of 1,024,157,148 Aptos (APT) tokens is owned exclusively by the blockchain company, while just 176,874,541 $APT coins are actually in circulation. Despite this, the altcoin is largely traded on Binance, with $132,440,515 in trade volume in the last 24 hours.
