Crypto Climber Caught: Hollywood Sign Gets a New Kind of Stunt! 🎬💰

So, picture this: a dude decides that the best way to promote his cryptocurrency is to scale the iconic Hollywood sign. Because, you know, nothing says “invest in my digital coins” like a ski-masked man waving a flag at 1,700 feet. 🙄

This brave soul was up there shilling for something called Vigilante Token (VIGI). I mean, if you’re going to risk life and limb, at least pick a name that doesn’t sound like a rejected superhero sidekick. 🦸‍♂️

Now, the Hollywood sign is not just a pretty face; it’s got barriers and a security system that’s more sophisticated than my last relationship. So, naturally, the LAPD got a call about this suspicious activity. I can just imagine the officers rolling their eyes, thinking, “Great, another day in paradise.” 🚓

At one point, this token was riding high with a market cap of $5.5 million, thanks to this wild stunt. That’s a 63,140% increase! I mean, if only my bank account could experience that kind of growth after a night out. 🍸💸

But, as with all things in crypto, the high didn’t last long. The price has since plummeted by over 40%. It’s like the rollercoaster of emotions, but with more spreadsheets and fewer safety harnesses. 🎢

The Vigilante project teased this marketing gimmick, claiming they wanted to launch in the most viral way possible. Well, mission accomplished! I’m sure they’re now brainstorming their next stunt, which they promise will be “10 times bigger.” Because, clearly, the only way to get attention in this market is to risk your life on a Hollywood landmark. 🙌

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier, they’re now hinting at locking the supply of the token with a new X poll. Because nothing says “trust us” like a poll on social media. What’s next? A TikTok dance challenge to promote crypto? 💃
