Hawk Tuah memecoin dumps 90% amid backlash over controversial launch​

Haliey Welch’s memecoin HAWK has plunged 90% since its launch, though Welch has denied any insider sales from herself or her team.

The launch of viral influencer Haliey Welch’s Hawk Tuah memecoin sparked outrage across social media as the newly launched token briefly pumped and then dumped rapidly following a controversial deployment involving allegations of snipers and insider wallets.

Welch has denied any insider sales or activity on behalf of her team or any affiliated entities.

The Hawk Tuak (HAWK) memecoin was launched at 10:00 pm UTC on Dec. 4 and quickly rose to a peak market cap of $490 million.

^^ Yep. I can't believe anyone bought the stupid coin thinking they were going to make some money off of it. It was about as clear of a grift as you are ever going to see.
 
I wonder what it will be in 6 months? Now that it crashed, bet a little bit and be prepared to lose?
 
The value of that coin is never going up IMO. It's the most famous meme coin rug pull of all time now.

Yeah...that's in the back of my mind.

Dogecoin comes to mind. The basic soundness of a crypto seems to have little to do with later stampedes.

I can see it taking off. Remember GIM1? Bitcoin took off, from a penny to $600 and change. Many members there were advising holders to take money off the table - not sell it all, but take some profits.

I'd have sold it all. But I'm not a sheeple, and I couldn't conceive of the ungodly highs it would reach.

I wish I had gotten involved with bitcoin back when it was being talked about on 2. There were a few members (not too many) who got their beaks wet. I think they may have done well. Thing is they talked about it without explaining how. I got involved because our host provided us with 2 threads on how to and has been explaining things pretty good in other threads. 🍺

Bit off topic but there were several peeps on 2 who had a thread on investing in weed. I remember them talking about grabbing profits. Should have jumped in.
 
I somehow doubt that post is real. Although it is coming from bluesky. If it is real then valuable life lesson learned. If your dumb enough to put your entire life savings into any crypto you deserve to lose it all. This one has as much value as the rest. which is nothing. The investment thesis is I hope someone is dumber than me and willing to pay more than I did.
When liquidity dries up BTC will be back below 30k and probably under10 and most of the rest will be worthless.
 
Wasn't gonna post this but after a few minutes it got funny.

ALERT‼️People lose Life Savings in "Hawk Tuah" girl crypto SCAM​

Investors are suing people associated with a cryptocurrency launched by Hawk Tuah Girl Hailey Welch, following the crash of the memecoin named after her.

It lost more than 95 percent of its value in a single day when it was released on December 4. Lawyers for the investors wrote in their December 19 court filing that the lawsuit "arises from the unlawful promotion and sale of the Hawk Tuah cryptocurrency memecoin, known as the "$HAWK" token (the "Token" or "$HAWK"), which Defendants offered and sold to the public without proper registration."

Named in the suit are: Tuah The Moon Foundation, which was used to handle money taken in from the sale of the meme coin, and the coin's creator, OverHere Ltd and its executive, Clinton So and the meme coin's Los Angeles-based promoter, Alex Larson Schultz.

... after Haliey Welch launched her Hawk cryptocurrency, which has lead Tuah vanishing off the face of the earth after the value made a massive plummet in value. Haliey Welch fans have lost a lot of money, with many calling for answers after Hawk Tuah girl has been missing and not heard from since she said she was going to sleep on a live stream.

The team working with Haliey Welch have now posted a statement, but Hawk Tuah girl herself is still missing in action – here’s everything that’s happened.
...
She’s now spawned a load of memes, who roast her for being “asleep” since that moment, which is now over 300 hours.

Bud light can salvage their image if they sign her to a deal.

"When your mouth goes dry from to much Hawk Tuah, a bud light gets me back in the game in no time".
Maybe Trump could hire her as well. Make BJ's great again. Pay her 150k for a good one and to keep her mouth shut. After she's finished of course.
 
Sounds to me like the investors are boo hoping because someone beat them to taking profits. Stocks, real estate, crypto, the game is the same, Buy low and sell high or sell high and cover lower.
 
Like playing Three-Card Monte with some guy putting on a show on the sidewalk.

Yeah, you're getting rooked. What the F else did you expect?
