Meme Coin Devs Are Doing Wild Things on Livestreams to Pump Tokens

Livestreaming your supposed mom shaking her breasts on camera to pump your meme coin is peak crypto degeneracy. But this sexually suggestive token, called LIVEMOM, is only the beginning of an increasingly weird—and rapidly expanding—wormhole of meme coin livestreams. Kidnapping, even more half-naked women, and fraudulent amputees are all part of this emerging livestream meta that has taken underground Solana degen traders by storm. At the same time that LiveMom was shaking her 36DDs next to her...

Bulletproof Cadillac, Butler, and $1.5M Titanic Watch: FTX Exec's Lavish Spending Continues

As Sam Bankman-Fried stares down the barrel of a 25 year prison sentence, most of his former FTX colleagues have done their best to stay out of the limelight. But one former executive of the collapsed crypto exchange is now raising eyebrows for his extravagant purchases.  Patrick Gruhn, the former head of FTX Europe, recently spent $1.5 million to acquire a gold watch found on the corpse of a victim of the Titanic, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. The watch originally belonged t...

Musician FKA Twigs Tells Congress She Created Her Own AI Deepfake

Artificial intelligence was again the hot topic of the day in Washington D.C., as members of the Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony from the music industry, unions, and academia about the risks presented by generative AI. The session focused largely on AI-powered digital replicas and deepfakes—with one musician sharing her own experiences with the tech. Copyright and free speech protections were also central themes covered by a variety of guests, including Robert Kyncl, CEO of Warner Mus...

Crypto Cat Fight: Why the Legal Claws Are Out Over Solana Meme Coin Shark Cat

Here’s an extremely specific problem: Say you take a photo of your pet and put it online. Then, let’s say that photo becomes a viral meme. Eventually, that meme inspires a crypto token that rapidly generates hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars in value.  Soon your pet is the hottest thing in crypto. Soon, she’s making anonymous traders you’ve never met into millionaires—but not you. Soon, depictions of your pet—both cute and less savory—are flowing in insular Discord and Telegram c...
