A certain top exchange founder has once again been pushed to the edge by “tweet archaeology.” On December 7, this big shot retweeted an explanation post about “community-driven actions,” with a rather tough tone: “DOYR? Do Your Meme? Interpret it however you want. Even if someone launches a token based on one of my catchphrases, I’ll say whatever I want to say, but these words have nothing to do with whether I endorse any particular token—completely separate things.”
In plain English: Don’t take a random thing I say and use it to fleece retail investors—I’m not endorsing any project.
Anyone in crypto knows how “unlucky” this guy has been—previously, he posted a photo of his pet dog “Broccoli,” and within moments, hundreds of broccoli-themed tokens popped up on-chain. The BNB Chain was overwhelmed to the point of crashing, and retail investors lost so much they deleted their Twitter accounts overnight. Later, he just mentioned a charity education project called Giggle Academy, and in no time, someone launched a $GIGGLE token. After a wild pump and dump, he had to clarify overnight: “I have nothing to do with it.”
This time he’s even more direct: Even if I casually mention an acronym, go ahead and launch a token if you want—but don’t come blaming me if you lose money. After all, there really were people who aped into meme coins after reading his tweets and, after getting wrecked, turned around and accused him of “leading the rug”—so this move basically engraves his disclaimer into his DNA.
The comment section is already losing it: “So you tweet for clout, and we end up as exit liquidity?” “Next time he says ‘good morning’, do we need to watch out for someone launching a $GOODMORNING token?”
Ironically, the more he clarifies, the more hyped the community gets—“using the big shot’s catchphrases” has already become a meme coin traffic magnet. Now the question is: Will some team actually latch onto the $DOYR ticker and kick off another meme frenzy?
Behind this farce lies a harsh truth: When someone’s every word can become a target for speculation, where exactly is the boundary between “influence” and “responsibility”?

So it turns out a single sentence from a big shot can trigger million-level speculation—this is the timeline we live in.
Honestly, instead of clarifying, just say "I just want to cash in on the hype," at least that's more honest.
People can launch a token just by saying good morning? Damn, these folks are really creative. I should short some $GOODMORNING.
The irony is, the more they deny it, the more they want to launch; this has already become a perpetual motion machine on-chain.
That part about the influencer's disclaimer being engraved in their DNA is legendary. From now on, just use this template and your influence will never come with responsibility.
Actually, what this really reflects is that retail investors are just too greedy—they see a big shot pick their nose and want to go all in.
Someone is definitely developing a smart contract for the DOYR entry right now, I'll bet 5U on it.
If this kind of operation keeps going, the big shot might really have to become a novelist and stop tweeting altogether.
Yet another classic case of "I never said that, but you all insist on interpreting it that way."
But honestly, no matter how much he clarifies, it won't help—this is exactly what the community eats up.

LOL, I still haven’t gotten over the broccoli incident.
Another round of signals for retail investors getting fleeced is here.
This move by the big players is genius, just passing the blame onto the community as if it’s spontaneous.
Just wait, $DOYR is definitely going to get rugged.
I bet five bucks some project team will target this term this week.

Haha, this big shot is really something else. The more he clarifies, the more people dare to launch coins.
---
Basically, influence has become a double-edged sword. One sentence can fleece a whole group of people.
---
That broccoli incident was really absurd, the entire chain was overwhelmed.
---
So us retail investors are just stepping stones for the big shots, huh?
---
Waiting to see if someone really launches $DOYR, I bet there definitely will be.
---
I'm increasingly feeling that this space is just a game of fleecing newbies, anything anyone says can be hyped.
---
"Disclaimer etched into DNA"—that line is brilliant, haha.
---
If "Good morning" can become a coin, then literally anything goes.
---
The ironic thing is, the more he clarifies, the more we feel there’s an opportunity. This is psychological manipulation at its finest.
---
The problem is, there's no way to tell who's unintentionally shilling and who's deliberately cashing out.

LOL, even broccoli can crash the BNB chain, this space is really absurd.
---
What's the point of saying no endorsement? The followers don't listen at all, if they're going to lose, they'll still lose.
---
If even "Good Morning" dares to launch a token, I'd just go all in too, since I can't lose anyway.
---
This big shot has forced himself to become an ATM, the more he explains, the more people follow blindly.
---
Damn, this logic— you tweet, I become the bag holder, and if I lose money, I can blame you for being irresponsible? Unbelievable.
---
Will $GasFee be the next one to skyrocket? I’d better get my money ready.
---
Ironically, I bought DOYR as soon as he clarified, I really couldn't wait.
