Pump.fun is offering crypto for the most outrageous dares

Memecoins are having a tough year, so pump.fun, the online website where you can create and launch your own memecoins, is taking a different approach altogether. They are offering wealthier users (mostly Americans and Europeans) the chance to perform demeaning tasks for users looking to earn a little extra money (mostly in India and Africa) in exchange for digital coins. It doesn’t strike us as very ethical, but it is certainly very popular.

One man in India received a face tattoo this way in exchange for $3,000 (he had to livestream the entire incident).

Suicide

The first tasks performed were still quite innocent. For example, someone offered 15 Solana to get another drunk user out of jail, and another user posted a video of himself taking a poor guy to a shelter in exchange for $35.

But there is also a dark side to the latest crypto phenomenon. In India, where a worker earns an average of $10 a day, a man was offered $3,000 in crypto to have the URL of a website tattooed in the middle of his forehead. Questionable, of course, but for the Indian man, it does mean earning three years’ wages in one go, and for the website, it means a mention in most US newscasts.

I don’t think the new phenomenon on pump.fun will last long, because the highest offer so far was a job for about 10,000 Solana where you had to film yourself committing suicide. That one has since been taken offline.
