🚨 Crypto’s Wild TikTok Takedown? 🤯

by

Well, buckle up, folks! In a move that can only be described as ‘audaciously bizarre’, the HBAR Foundation – those delightful folks behind the Hedera blockchain – have joined forces with Tim Stokely, the founder of OnlyFans (yes, that OnlyFans), to launch a shock-and-awe bid for TikTok. Because, why not, right? 🤷‍♂️ I mean, who wouldn’t want to take on the behemoth that is Amazon in a battle for the world’s most addictive micro-messaging and video platform? 📹

HBAR’s Diversification Gambit: Genius or Madness?

As reported by the ever-vigilant Reuters, the HBAR Foundation and Stokely’s new startup, Zoop (which sounds suspiciously like a rejected Pokémon name), have formally expressed their intent to bid to the White House. Because, you know, buying TikTok is just a casual, Tuesday afternoon kind of move. 📝

RJ Phillips, Zoop’s co-founder, waxed poetic to Reuters about their motivations: “Our bid for TikTok isn’t just about changing ownership, it’s about creating a new paradigm where both creators and their communities benefit directly from the value they generate.” Sounds noble, but let’s be real, it’s also about not letting Amazon get all the fun. 😏

With a motley crew of investors backing this unlikely duo, one thing is clear: crypto firms are now placing a hefty premium on diversification – or perhaps just on making really bold, attention-grabbing moves. 🤑 Amazon, meanwhile, is just over here, silently judging everyone’s life choices. 🙄

Stay tuned, folks! This saga is far from over… 📺
