Saving Nanocap Speculators from Themselves (nyuu.page)
I spent the summer of the 2021 cryptocurrency bull market fascinated by a hive of foolishness and deception: /r/cryptomoonshots (and, to a lesser extent, its analogues on discord and telegram). People’d post a token address (typically Binance Smart Chain (“BSC”), occasionally Ethereum (“Eth”)) along with a pitch or maybe a website and an inducement: “buy right now!”. The (implicit) conceit was “you, the reader, may have ‘missed bitcoin’, and ‘missed dogecoin’, but you can still ‘100x’… by buying my token!”.
