WNBA Dildo Throwing Controversy Began as Crypto Marketing Stunt
Main Idea
A pseudonymous group has taken credit for disruptive incidents at WNBA games involving thrown sex toys, which is a marketing tactic to promote the $DILDO meme coin, while Solana's co-founder criticizes meme coins as 'digital slop' despite their popularity.
Key Points
1. A group has claimed responsibility for throwing sex toys onto WNBA courts to increase visibility for the $DILDO meme coin, with incidents starting in late July.
2. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko criticized meme coins and NFTs as 'digital slop' with no intrinsic value, despite their profitability on the Solana blockchain.
3. The $DILDO token has seen a 193.7% price increase in the past week, with a 24-hour trading volume of $1.23 million.
4. Group members have mocked the WNBA and planned further disruptive actions, including targeting events like the Boston Marathon and a Lady Gaga concert.
5. The WNBA has warned against such disruptions, emphasizing player safety and respect for the game.
