With the advent of AI, crypto has begun to feel like an afterthought in the story of our nascent tech dystopia, a receding whiff of last year\u2019s bullshit. But never fear, while AI bros\u2019 world-ruining antics occupy the spotlight in 2026, crypto bros remain more than capable of some ghastliness of their own.<\/p>\n

Take, for example, the launch of \u201cGO\u201d, a marketplace launched last week by memecoin sewer pump.fun. As per pump.fun\u2019s own X account, the marketplace lets users \u201cPay ANYONE to do ANYTHING \u2026 create [and] complete bounties for ANY task.\u201d The announcement came with some cursory language about empowerment and changing the world and etc, promising that the marketplace would \u201cleverage the power of humans and money across the globe.\u201d Instead, in news that will surprise precisely no-one, it devolved almost instantly a sort of sub-Pewdiepie race to the bottom, with users trying to outdo one another in commissioning oh-so-outrageous stunts from people to whom a few hundred dollars could make a real difference.<\/p>\n

The nadir\u2014so far, anyway\u2014arrived when a user going by \u201cayushquant\u201d offered up a bounty promising the princely sum of 40 Solana (worth about $2,500 at the date of publication, always assuming you can find a rube to buy them.) The task at hand? For the claimant to get the name of $bountywork, a coin that Ayush launched six days ago, tattooed across their forehead. This was one of a load of similar bounties offered to promote the coin, and it\u2019s probably fair to say that Ayush never expected anyone to actually claim it.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

He should have expected otherwise. After all, it\u2019s not like such stunts are unprecedented: over two decades ago, a long-forgotten online casino called GoldenPalace.com paid $10,000 to have its URL inked on the face of Utah woman Kari Smith. It\u2019s unclear what\u2019s happened to Smith, who said at the time that \u201cto me, $10,000 is like $1 million\u2026 I only live once, and I\u2019m doing [this] for my son.\u201d Today the Golden Place URL hosts a \u201cfree guide to the most trustworthy US casinos on the internet,\u201d an undertaking about which the jokes write themselves.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Anyway, this most recent piece of forehead tattooing took a darkly comic turn when the bounty was<\/em> in fact claimed. The claimant, a gentleman from Tamil Nadu by the name of Arivu, posted a video of himself having the token\u2019s name inked on his face, as well as a photo displaying the completed tattoo. Unfortunately, there was a problem, and\u2026 oh, go on, see if you can spot it.<\/p>\n

The original exchange has disappeared from X, but as per Yahoo! Finance\u2019s report on the case, Ayush wanted to withhold the bounty because of the spelling mistake; Arivu \u201ccountered that he had inked the exact text in the prompt.\u201d And, indeed, he had, because the original post also<\/em> contained the spelling mistake. Arivu argued that he was only following the wording of the task to the letter: it called for getting \u201c$boutywork\u201d tattooed on your forehead, so that was what he got tattooed on his forehead.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Inevitably, someone quickly launched a memecoin called $boutywork, which hit something like $500,000 in market capitalisation before crashing back to earth over the weekend. The coin\u2019s creator fees were set to accrue to Arivu, who just happened to have opened an account on Pump.fun. As of publication, those fees were in excess of $40,000, which is certainly better than the $2,500 he was originally promised\u2014though it\u2019s unclear whether he ever received any of this money. As ever with crypto, it\u2019s unclear how much of this is readily convertible into actual real money and not internet magic beans.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ayush\u2014the person responsible for the whole depressing stunt in the first place\u2014has pocketed a shitton of cash: he\u2019s earned almost $174,000 in creator rewards, a great deal of which has come as a result of the tattoo stunt. There\u2019s also something deeply depressing about how this is offered up in LinkedIn-style writing as some sort of admirable piece of clever hustle.<\/p>\n

Regardless, it\u2019s certainly not the first spectacularly unethical stunt in the world of crypto and it\u2019s unlikely we\u2019ll ever know the whole story: Arivu\u2019s X account has been suspended, though the recently-opened account in his name on pump.fun does remain live, and contiunues to accrue $boutywork creator rewards.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Ayush, meanwhile, is now offering another bounty\u201446 Solana this time!\u2014to Arivu and Arviu alone. The task? \u201cHe must get the correct ticker fixed on his tattoo on his forehead, the correct ticker is $bountywork.\u201d In the world of crypto, things can always get worse.<\/p>\n
