Welcome to SPICE Bits, a rush of cringy and stupid news with a cryptocurrency twist. Last time, during our first encounter, Justin Sun was moving boxes here and there to fight the terrible CoronaVirus (AKA Corona chan), that has already been declared an emergency by the World Health Organization. It seems Sun's efforts have been in vain thus far, because the virus is still spreading with new unconfirmed cases being reported from South American nations. And it is, maybe, the reason why Corona chan is going viral (yeah, the virus going viral) in Telegram and cryptocurrency related channels.
A Corona chan bot has been launched in Telegram, that automatically infects everyone that uses it, and more importantly, lets you infect your close relatives and telegram friends as well. Just include the virus bot in any group and you will have a great focus of infection for your diseased needs. But not only that, it even includes a counter to watch how many people you have infected in real time. Wish every virus out there could include this kind of functions for keeping statistics (Wink WHO).
There is another bot that will joy the soul of preppers too: The Hazmat Bot is a pretty slick application that overlays the image of a hazardous material suit on any picture you throw at it. Now you can feel protected when dealing with chinese people in strange Telegram chats. Several clever members of one of the best crypto related chats out there (Spice Official) have already protected themselves with this full body condom for your avatar that will make you the feisty (healthy) attraction in any Telegram room.
And talking about pumping, Corona chan is not the only thing doing so. Craig Wright, the self proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto, recently admitted the latest rise in the price of Bitcoin "Satoshi's Vision" was artificially created, and that he knew the person behind it. While the man wanted to show his knowledge about the market, the truth is that he carelessly threw a wrench into the ones following his currency, telling them: "Hey we are a bunch of whales raising the price!"
Bitcoin SV has been delisted from many big exchanges including Binance, and the exchanges that do have liquidity are smallish, relatively little known to the cryptocurrency world, so this could have made the pump process easier, moving less money to put it in motion. The fact he revealed the scheme is baffling, but anyone seeing a cryptocurrency win more than 100% in just a day would have thought something of the sorts was happening (hey, we aren't in 2017).
Wonder who was the one behind it and how much did he pay to do that? Likely much more than the $20k Vitalik Buterin, the "Ethereum Jesus", criticized Gitcoin for paying antiprosynthesis.eth, an Ethereum shill that "is very active on twitter promoting Ethereum and refuting misinformation from Bitcoin maximalists," according to the grant report. Buterin raised the alarms by stating that "on the surface, it does indeed seem like someone getting paid $20,000 for operating a Twitter account is ridiculous," and much more if they are doing it voluntarily, I might add. However, it raises some important questions about the state of social media and shilling of our current cryptocurrency world. However the community did have an answer for him.
In any case, in the times we live in, all can be forgiven and forgotten. If you don't agree, you need to know the story of Micheli Schlosser, the brazilian woman that forgave his husband for shooting her five times, with two of these shots hitting her head. And with Greta Thunberg trademarking her name, there is nothing wrong with spreading a little love to your pumping leader, Bitcoin SV holders.
Till the next shitty compendium!
