A crypto trader known as MistaFuccYou committed suicide during a live broadcast on the platform X (formerly Twitter) after losing $500 in a meme coin scam.
The Tragic Livestream Event
Before taking his life, MistaFuccYou loaded a revolver on camera and said, 'If I die, make me a meme coin.' The gun misfired twice before firing on the third attempt. The livestream continued for over 30 minutes posthumously as the crypto community reacted in real-time.
Crypto Community's Reaction
Some users expressed remorse over the tragic outcome, while others condemned the creation of a meme coin in his honor. One user expressed disbelief at how quickly a meme coin emerged following his death.
Debate Over the Meme Coin
Following MistaFuccYou's death, a meme coin named 'Mistacoin' appeared, with the developer sending him 70% of the total supply beforehand. Community opinions were divided, with some appalled by the immorality and others suspecting a marketing stunt. Reports suggest the trader had been experiencing personal struggles leading up to the event.
Despite the incident's resonance within the crypto community, mainstream media outlets have yet to report on it, and no official statements from law enforcement have been released. The true reasons and circumstances remain unknown.
