In this post about something funny today, we look at the Hawk Tuah girl and her meme coin from yesterday. The meme coin phenomenon has been happening for a while now where celebrities use their name to prop up a coin, and they eventually cash out leaving their fans to hold the bag. This one was particularly egregious because of the speed in which the team pulled the rug on the investors. Let’s remember how Haliey Welch became famous and talk about the Hawk Tuah Meme Coin:
the #HawkTuah girl is going #Viral again for her #MemeCoin. Let's remember why @HalieyWelchX is famous. I don't think she #Scammed her community on purpose, but her #image was #Traded and Tarnished by her Devteam. #halieywelch, hire a manager to vet this stuff for you. pic.twitter.com/LP25NCzo5B

From MEME to MEMECOIN
Haliey has been making the rounds and really monetizing her five minutes of fame. Some saavy dev team came to her and pitched the idea of a coin that she could use for good, and I believe Haliey took the bait without really knowing what she was getting in to. This does not exonerate her in anyway, but I don’t think she was the mastermind of it all. This was Haliey abruptly ending the space after being asked some hard questions.
The moment in the #Hawktuah space where @chooserich was questioning the dev team on how it works and @HalieyWelchX abruptly goes to bed to end the space. $Hawk. @coffeebreak_YT. This was the best space since #SBF and #CoffeeZilla @TiffanyFong_ shoulda been there! pic.twitter.com/TxwtId1eIn

Funny to me, maybe not to you
This situation is funny to me because it keeps happening. The Celebrity pulls the rug whether knowingly or not, it always happens. It is more than likely the dev teams behind these coins setting this up, but the celebrity is the figurehead and takes the blame.
