How I Accidentally Created a Viral Meme Coin

Key Takeaways

I had to be very careful about when I made this video I didn't want to get myself in trouble and I didn't want to get anyone else in trouble in the process in November of 2024 I accidentally made a viral mem coin on salana and when I say viral I mean I woke up and I looked inside my wallet and I had a significant amount of money a tempting amount of money to just take it and run they call this a rug pool let's talk about that so how do I accidentally make this well I was making a video actually this video right here on how to make your own salana token I've always been fascinated by crypto ever since it went big in 20120 in fact I made a similar video back then on how to make your own salana token a token on the salana blockchain back then it was harder now it's a bit easier so I made an updated video and I have my daughters create their own is a very fun thing Bitcoin just hit 100K I'm like okay it's time to talk about crypto again no people hated it now in that video I did talk about making a coin this one here actually here's both of those videos back to back I did talk about making my coin the one that went viral but I didn't mention it and by the way the whole point of this is I'm using this token this coin to pay my daughter's allowance it's just the fun thing we do so when they complete their chores I have a Python program that will automatically pay them in cryptocurrency and when they want to watch TV or or YouTube they can even exchange crypto for real money they pay me in that it's just a fun way to do it and to teach my daughters about crypto well anyways not until the very end of my video like here actually I'm talking what is this minute 35 maybe even later than that buy the one you think is better better let's see whose price is the best over time it's going to drive them crazy cuz they don't have any real control over it they're learning about markets right now but let's see what happens now I did say buying one of my daughter's tokens just for fun cuz I was kind of pitting them against each other and I was like Hey we're not doing this for a viral thing just like have fun with that like it was worth nothing like you could have bought a million for a scent no intention of that going viral although my daughters really wanted it to go viral by some here's the adust right here I'm saying you should buy some so here's my mistake right here I did make this token I did put about $22,000 worth the salana in the token just for fun speculative like what could happen if this token took off I wasn't going to promote it I wasn't going to sell it or rug Pole or anything I just thought it'd be really neat that if the coin I used for my daughter's allowance the coin that I was putting into their wallets somehow became worth something that that's just a nice idea that was the end of my ambition there also please keep in mind I'm very familiar with what's happening now this was before HW Tua or what do they call it hot coin if you're not familiar with that HW Tua famous for the dumbest thing in the entire world why is the internet dumb sometimes hot coin was made by hakua I don't know if it was actually a rug pool but essentially she told her followers to buy the salana token it got really big and then it tanked I mean let's go look at it so here on December 4th it had its big run worth about 5 cents but I think just that same day it tanked and it's all these Crypt Bros they have it game to where when a new token comes out they'll all work together to pump it up and then dump it I don't think Haw Tua had any intention of rug pulling her followers but I I think it was the crypto Bros and maybe the people that helped her make this that's why it happened so for context I made mine before hakua in fact this video was pretty much almost done before hot coin was announced and she had her rug pole so when that happened I'm like really really I make my first like crypto video in a long time and this happens what are people going to say about this I thought one of two things either it's going to be Fascinating People like oh oh okay this is how HW Tua did this anybody can do this I could do this for fun and that was my design for that two if could go the other way where people are like wow crypto sucks and HW Tua just did this and now you're doing this Chuck come on it went that way like it was not received well this video did not have a good uh reception and it's one of my lower performing videos of the entire year which is crazy cuz it's pretty much this exact same video in 2020 did great now back to making this viral meme token so when I made this video I buried this whole yeah buy my token for fun thing at the very end at minute 38 in my video If I were trying to shill a coin don't you think I put it like right up here I didn't care so anyways I make the video video tanks I'm still using this token for my daughter's allowance it's over it's done with who cares story is not over there and that's the whole you know that's the reason we're making this video here so my design for my daughter's allowance Kei coin is what we call it Keith coin that's my last name I do allow them to exchange that coin for real money but I don't go off the real value that is like on Soul scan I just tell them hey five kiks is worth $1 they aren't able to buy more kiks all they can do is do their chores read books good things to to earn keeks so they can do things like play video games and watch YouTube or exchange your for money so they can buy birthday presents and go out to the movies and stuff so anyways December 29th I noticed that my daughters have 250,000 kiks so they sent 250,000 to my daughter Khloe and 250,000 kiks to my daughter Addie you know they open their their wallets and they're like oh my gosh we're rich because they're doing the math like five kiks is $1 250,000 divided by5 what is that so they think they have $50,000 and I kept having to tell them like no no someone just sent this to you that doesn't count my daughter Addie was adamant she's like Daddy like I'm rich like I have the money now I'm like no honey I have to pay you that someone just didn't just give you money so I just thought it was funny I thought nothing of it I thought someone just watched the video and that'd be a pretty funny joke I did not know this coincided with something else that was happening so I wake up on December 28th and I'm looking at my Twitter I normally don't check my Twitter in the morning I try to keep that later in the afternoon but I just happen to be checking it I was on vacation you know Christmas break I'm checking my DMs and I had just I have a ton of DMs I normally get DMS being a YouTuber but this is abnormal and I'm getting things like this hey your coin's at 1 million wake up please your token went to 4 million your token's blowing up I'm like wait what what is what's going on cuz I don't know what token they're talking about I did not mention kiks to anybody except for the 38 minute Mark of that video and by the way this whole thing is happening while I'm asleep I go to bed pretty early this is like 11:40 p.m. so that morning I'm like okay let's take a look at this I think I sent a picture to my my family oh it was December 30th that morning when I woke up I see this I opened my wallet my 170 million Keith coins or KS that I have is now worth $148,000 what I open up a deck screener and this is what this is what I'm seeing a massive jump in my coin so here I am a coin I made for fun had no intent of advertising it or making money off of it in fact I would I would never want to make a viral meme coin especially in light of what hakua did um now what Trump and Melania T um I'm very bullish on crypto crypto Bros have really ruined this for us but here I am suddenly out of thin air I have $140,000 for essentially doing nothing the temptation to sell it was there like I I would never do that I would never hurt anybody or my followers um that would destroy my reputation and coffeezilla I like that guy I don't want him coming after me I would never do that but I'm like okay like this is weird $140,000 just out of thin air and these crypto people were berating me they're like hey you can see it in the DMs like people are trying to say hey I feel passionate about your uh your automation that you did aped in thank you for launching that coin you changed a few of my friends lives so I'm guessing maybe that someone went in there and made a ton of money off my coin I forget what the market cap was at the time but it was over a million like maybe 56 million and then they were expecting me to run the coin which I guess means I'm going to promote it and they want to make another video about it I mean just goodness I had people telling me it was my responsibility and then I got th this uh stuff let me see if I can find it back in my Twitter archives here I I didn't think Network chuck would put his name to her project and let it fall or fail it had potential to run hard if he got behind it and his daughter's projects would have ran as well but he chose not to support it unfortunately oh by the way my daughter's projects did go up as well be add this guy thanks for playing I guess he made a bunch of money but people were blowing me up and someone even clipped my video I forget where it was goodness where was it well I can't find it I don't know where it went but someone had clipped that one small part of my video and they were all just dogging on me to update decks which cost money to promote it and my response to them like I I did eventually respond because I didn't want to get any attention on this I I didn't want this to blow up this would be a bad thing they said what are you plan to do with this I just said nothing and they kind of died down although there is this girl that I'm assuming she's a girl cuz she her name is girl um she yeah even just now like an hour ago sh your coins you made I guess she's still holding I had no intention of doing that I was going to make this video where you're watching now earlier but I I wanted to give enough time enough Breathing Room between that happening and now to make sure it didn't like accident set off again I have no intention of having a viral meme coin I just wanted to tell that story I thought it was so funny so Random so weird to wake up and see that much money in your wallet um Crypt Bros just decided they're going to pump your coin for whatever reason but currently as it stands it does still have a market cap of 30,000 1,400 holders and it's worth you know something it was worth next to nothing when I first made it so it's kind of cool so let me just say this don't buy my coin please don't buy it this is just a meme coin it's a fun thing I'm doing with my daughters if you want to buy to have Fone with it that's fine but it's not going to make you money it's not going to make me money I have not sold anything I I had no intention of selling it I did not rug pool this is simply a game a fun little project I'm doing between me and my daughters and it's just so funny to me that Trump and Melania come in on the exact same chain salana and create a meme coin and while it is certainly more valuable than mine I'm not the president of the United States I can't believe he did that it's so like I I'm I'm with on this being bullish on crypto I think Bitcoin is going to be the gold standard I think crypto is the future I don't think memecoins is that future maybe he's just doing it to get attention on crypto I think that was a bad way meme coins do not have a good look right now and Trump that's one thing he he brags about himself I mean that's not one thing but he does say that he's good at marketing he he knows how to get his name out there well you know maybe he is good at marketing putting a meme coin out there kind of if you look at his history is right on par with how he get it's his Fame this is not a political post by the way like I'm I'm not saying I'm for or against him I'm just saying that move in particular was weird even weirder that his wife did it too so crypto good meme coins weird be careful out there is there money to be made potentially please don't make it with my coin leave my coin alone go out there and make your own coin and have fun with it watch my video and do that learn about crypto cuz I think it is a big part of the future I just thought you might think it's funny that I accidentally created a viral mem coin and actually it's still worth some money if I open my wallet here it went from1 $ 48,000 to now my 170 million Keith coins is $5,000 it was a fun weird ride did not have that my bingo card for 2024 yeah that was weird I'll catch you guys next time
