According to ChainCatcher, Base co-founder Jesse issued RUG tokens yesterday on social media to attract traffic and invested funds to support the controversial Soulja Boy, provoking strong backlash from the community. ZachXBT questioned, 'Why provide a platform for Soulja Boy to scam new users?'
ZachXBT disclosed as early as April 2023 that 'Soulja Boy is one of the most reckless promoters in the crypto community. In my research, I found that he has participated in 73 promotions and issued 16 NFT projects, a significant portion of which are scams.'
And Jesse has also called for various MEME coins, such as the 'Base is for everyone' event (which surged to a market value of 20 million and then plummeted by 90%) token and his personal token jesse (which the community refers to as the most failed fair launch in Base's history). The tokens he promotes are often accompanied by short-term speculative hype, but their long-term performance and investment returns are not stable.
