The most outrageous get-rich stories often start with a typo.

The incident began simply—a star executive from a leading exchange was typing a tweet a bit too fast. He meant to clarify something, but ended up abruptly dropping a “DOYR” instead. And just like that, chaos ensued.

You can never predict the imagination of retail investors. Some said it was an abbreviation for “Do Your Research,” hinting at the need to do your homework. Others went further: could it mean “Do Your Meme”? Who cares, let’s jump in first!

Then the magic happened. In less than two hours, a meme coin with the same name popped up on the market and its price skyrocketed—soaring 220,000 times, with a market cap hitting $15 million. Another copycat token, “DO YOUR,” wasn’t to be outdone and surged nearly 500%.

To top it off, that industry bigwig joined the fun. He retweeted the original post, joking, “DOYR means Do Your Meme?” Before the joke even settled, he put on a serious face and added, “Just to clarify, we’re just discussing this, not recommending any projects.” (Translation: You do your thing, I’m just here to watch the show.)

What was meant to clarify a misunderstanding ended up giving speculators more ammo.

These days, the logic behind sudden wealth in crypto has reached metaphysical levels. A big shot types a few random letters and the whole internet scrambles to decode the “wealth password.” Someone coins an abbreviation and, in the blink of an eye, a million-dollar project is born. They say a day in crypto is like a year in the real world—now it seems even typos can become get-rich scripts.

So next time you tweet, you’d better think twice. What you see as a “slip of the finger” might just be someone else’s “ticket to the moon.” As for those chasing the latest hype—wake up. When the frenzy fades, all that’s left is usually a mess.
