The Meme Coin Meltdown: $13 Million Down the Drain

As the great Russian philosopher, Ivan Karamazov, once said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” But what happens when a crypto whale, blinded by the promise of easy riches, decides to do something? Something like investing in a meme coin tied to the great and powerful Donald Trump?

Released on January 17, just ahead of his inauguration, the Official TRUMP coin initially surged in value, reaching an all-time high (ATH) of $44.28 per token by January 21, with its market cap hitting approximately $14.7 billion. Ah, the sweet taste of victory! The crypto whale, emboldened by their initial profit of $11.8 million, decided to double down. Big mistake.

By the end of the month, the value of Official TRUMP had dropped to $24.05, and it has continued to decline since. As of March 28, it was trading at around $10.18. The crypto whale’s decision to invest further backfired, leaving them with a $21 million loss. Ah, the agony of defeat! 🤦‍♂️

This trader’s luck didn’t improve in March. On March 3, they bought 777,684 TRUMP tokens, but by March 28, the value had fallen drastically, leading to millions in further losses. Their latest liquidation saw them offload 743,947 TRUMP at around $14.50 per token, losing another $3.35 million. In total, the whale has now lost approximately $13.35 million on the meme coin since January. Ah, the bitter taste of regret! 😔

The rise and fall of Official TRUMP highlights the volatility and risks of investing in meme coins, even when tied to a high-profile figure like the former president. As the great Russian writer, Nikolai Gogol, once said, “A man can do what he wants, but he can only be what he is.” In this case, the crypto whale is what they are: a cautionary tale of the dangers of meme coin investing. 🤦‍♂️
