Analyst Calls Celebrity Meme Coins a 'Grift', Slams Predatory Practice

Crypto analyst Cold Blooded Shiller has slammed the recent trend of celebrities launching their own meme coins via social media platforms. "Over the past four days, we’ve seen a barrage of celebrities shilling their own meme coins," said Shiller. Shiller believes that most celebrity-affiliated crypto projects fail miserably because they lack substance and utility. He accuses celebrities of simply trying to capitalize on the meme coin craze to make a quick buck, calling it a predatory practice. Shiller urges the public to be outraged by this trend, highlighting that celebrities who get paid in crypto and shill projects are typically worth a lot more than D-list celebrities who shill tokens to rip off retail investors.
