Degens Go Brunch: Test Token Evaporates, CZ Rolls Eyes & Your Portfolio Spirals 😎💸

by

Ugh, so, like, 12h ago-basically the exact time I was Googling ‘Can White Wine Replace Ibuprofen?’-some wallet with a diva address ending in 66f4 ghost-dumped every last TST token and vanished with $30,400. Poof. Gone. Cue tiny violin. 🎻 Cue CZ tweetstorm. 🌪️

CZ unpacks the circus 🚨

In his “please-don’t-sue-me” thread, CZ explained how a one-second frame of some tutorial video flashed “TST,” Internet rabid-sharks smelled blood, and the market cap ballooned to $495k faster than I can inhale a cheesecake. Then the video was yeeted off the web, and-allegedly-the “creator” key was ceremoniously Ctrl-Alt-Deleted. Right. Because no one *ever* secretly screenshots private keys. 😇

He also stresses: “Not our token, not our circus, definitely not our monkey.” Translation: Bag-holders, assemble at your own peril.

Mystery keys & magical thinking ✨

So how did a supposedly nuked key sprout limbs and sell tokens? Easy-turns out tutorials can pre-fund a buffet of wallets. Like prepping five spare keys and forgetting which one opens Mum’s wine cupboard. Some dev probably sipped coffee, screen-captured the key “for science,” and kept the embers glowing. Block explorers are now slapping a “Dev” label on that wallet, which is definitely the blockchain equivalent of a scarlet letter. 💔

Moral of the story: demo tokens = cinematic props. You wouldn’t YOLO your life savings into the Infinity Gauntlet used for the Avengers credits roll, would you? Exactly. Check deployments, allocations, liquidity pool latitudes, etc.-or just scroll TikTok and blame the universe. Whatever fits your aesthetic.

Anyway, the $30k disappearing act is less “investment thesis” and more “roulette RNG,” but hey, at least you’re part of crypto history now. Wear the loss like a badge of shame honor. And maybe, just maybe, set Google alerts for “sanity token.” Still in beta. 😘
