🪙 WARNING:

⚡️ Armstrong stops speculation

Brian Armstrong asked traders not to interpret his personal posts as investment recommendations, after a memecoin linked to his name experienced extreme volatility.

The temporary change of the Coinbase CEO's profile picture to an image associated with $BRIAN raised the token's market cap from about $3 million to $37 million. When Armstrong restored his previous image, the asset lost more than 85% of its value.

The episode highlights how informal gestures by influential figures can quickly mobilize liquidity in speculative tokens, especially when they are tied to Base, the network developed by Coinbase. Armstrong emphasized that investors should not make decisions based on memes or isolated posts.
