FORKING RISK

Crypto speak: Forking Risk

IMG_20250127_082549_434.jpg

Forking risk is a game changer in cryptocurrency investing.

A "fork" happens when a blockchain’s protocol changes, often leading to a split and the creation of a new cryptocurrency.

While forks can present opportunities, they also bring volatility, confusion, and security risks.

Take the 2018 Bitcoin Cash hard fork, for instance.

It not only created Bitcoin SV but also caused wild price swings for both assets, leaving investors scrambling.

Beyond financial impact, forks can divide communities, disrupt development, and even tarnish reputations.

To manage forking risk, stay informed about upcoming forks and their implications.

Consider factors like potential airdrops, liquidity challenges, and increased market volatility.

Being proactive helps you protect your investments and capitalize on opportunities that forks might bring.

🎉 Pump.fun Breaks the Bank with $15.5M in Fees

Who knew memes could be so lucrative? Pump.fun, the Solana-based memecoin factory, just smashed records with $15.5M in a single day on January 24! 🚀

🍷 Fueled by the hype around Vine Coin (yes, inspired by that Vine), the platform hit $4B in trading volume over two weeks.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk hinted at reviving Vine, sparking even more chaos.

From Fartcoin to Moo Deng, Pump.fun has minted meme gold—but not without casualties.

A US law firm is now eyeing the platform for investor losses. 💼

Whether you’re here for the profits or just the memes, one thing’s clear: Pump.fun is laughing all the way to the (decentralized) bank. 💸

😂 Hackers, Bolsonaro, and the Great Brazilian Meme Coin Heist

🥷Hackers hacked ex-president Jair Bolsonaro’s account to promote a scam token called BRAZIL. Using Solana’s Pump.Fun platform, they pitched it as the ultimate patriotic investment:

“It’s time to celebrate our country like never before! I’m launching $BRAZIL, a digital currency symbolizing the pride, freedom, and strength of the Brazilian people!”

To add authenticity, they attached a photo of Bolsonaro shaking hands with Trump at the G20. 🇧🇷🤝🇺🇸

Though the post was quickly deleted after Bolsonaro regained access, BRAZIL skyrocketed 10,000% in minutes, scamming users out of $220,000.

Guess patriotism really does pay... if you're a hacker. 💸

How to lose a million in style 👀💰

A crypto enthusiast withdrew 4,248 SOL (over $1M), dived headfirst into memecoins, and managed to turn it into... $231 in profit from one trade. 💵

The rest? A loss of $892K, including $456K on $ALON and $254K on $VINE.

Moral of the story? Memecoins might be memes, but losses are real.

Don’t let FOMO drive your portfolio into the ground. 🚀➡️📉
