Crypto community shocked after suicide stream linked to Mistacoin launch
Live suicide sparks controversy
Users on the social media platform X are discussing a live stream where a user spent his last $500 on a crashing meme coin and played Russian roulette with a loaded revolver.
The user, @MistaFuccYou, who appeared to be in a dire life situation and likely struggling with mental health issues, suggested to viewers that a meme coin be created in the event of his death. He then shot himself three times in the head with a loaded revolver and ultimately died, bleeding out.
While the authenticity of the stream and the true identity of MistaFuccYou have not been verified, the situation has sparked intense debate within the crypto community.
The discussion revolves not only around the actions of the "anti-hero" but also the immediate creation of the meme token "Mistacoin" after the suicide, with 70% of its total supply sent to the suicide victim's address.
Some traders rushed to buy Mistacoin while the body of MistaFuccYou was still warm, while others condemned the frenzy and sought to understand what had happened.
Murder or staged event? Many uncertainties in the case
"This guy starts a live stream on X. He's being deceived. He asks for his money back. He pulls out a six-shot revolver. Says, 'If I die, make a meme out of me,' pulls the trigger three times. Dies. The stream goes on for 30 minutes. And people immediately create a meme coin? What the hell?" one user commented in outrage.

"The meme coin industry is pure evil," wrote a user under the name Sea? – "This guy literally went live to play Russian roulette to pump the coin, and it ended up killing him."
The situation does seem complicated. According to the MistaFuccYou account, he was living in Santa Clara, California, complaining about poverty and apparently hoping to improve his financial situation through crypto trading. Some sources suggest the cause of the suicide could have been a breakup with his girlfriend.
However, as of now, neither the police nor major media outlets have shown interest in the case, with discussions primarily taking place on social networks like X and Reddit.
As we wrote, on Saturday, hackers breached the official X account of Myanmar’s State Administration Council Chairman and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Min Aung Hlaing. The compromised account was used to promote several fake meme coins, falsely branding them as the "national cryptocurrency of the Republic of Myanmar."
