Dave Portnoy’s pathetic memecoin picks are down at least 97%

Dave Portnoy claims he collects memecoins “as a hobby,” even though he’s earned at least $70,000 and promoted five tokens that have declined at least 97%. Portnoy started his career covering sports and pizza shops, then started daytrading to keep his gambling audience entertained during the COVID-19 sports shutdown. Nowadays, he’s a proudly degenerate crypto promoter who has pumped and issued memecoins and even lists them in his X bio.  For example, he promoted MONTOYA at 1:38pm New York time at a market cap of $2.75 million, and it hit $9.95 million within two minutes.  The Solana-based token, named after a participant in a Spanish TV show Love Island, has declined 99.7% to under $25,000 as of publication time. Portnoy’s original memecoin was Stool Prisondente, ticker symbol JAILSTOOL. Somebody purposefully misspelled his X username, StoolPresidente, as a joke to taunt the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading ...

Ethereum Starts to Climb After Touching All-Time Low

Image
Ethereum jumped almost 15% in the past 24 hours to trade around $1,800, extending a 30 per cent rebound from its 9 April trough near $1,400. The surge eclipsed Bitcoin’s 6 per cent gain and helped push the total value of all cryptocurrencies back above the symbolic $3 trillion mark. Dominance nudges up after dipping below 7% Ethereum’s share of the overall crypto market had slipped to 7 per cent on 22 April, matching levels last seen in September 2019. TradingView data show the ratio has since clawed back to about 7.5 per cent, easing concerns that alternative smart-contract platforms would permanently erode Ether’s leadership in decentralised-finance liquidity. $ETH has been undervalued for a long time!
