My opinion about Q is that it probably was a psychological operation conducted by some intelligence agency or another with the purpose of encouraging more people to look at how things work more incredulously. If that was the goal, then the operation was seemingly a massive success. A lot of normies acquired an upgraded worldview that specifically expects that public figures are probably going to lie to them a lot. And steal a lot. And gaslight a lot. 99% are odious scumbags who probably belong in prison for various crimes. Q followers directly learned this, but also many non-Q followers also learned it through cultural diffusion of certain attitudes. Whoever Q was, they seem to be white hats to me. Honestly, the last couple of weeks of government exposures seem very plannish to me. So who knows?
At some point or another Q was kicked off of 4chan and moved to another site called 8chan. I don’t know all the details about how or why that happened. Q posted there for awhile but then something else must have happened and Q stopped posting at all. I guess the operation ran its course and achieved its objective or some strategy to effectively counter it was achieved by the black hats. Whatever the reason Q is gone and seems very unlikely to come back.
So that’s the context. Yesterday the 8chan site posted up a countdown timer and got a number of Q enthusiast accounts pretty excited.
This guy even stared at his computer waiting for the perfect moment to get repeating digits. 17 was picked because Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet. There is nothing special about this he just really thought this had something to do with Q and waited to get this screenshot.
I predicted that nothing would happen and everyone getting excited would end up with blue balls. I was right, but it was actually a lot worse than nothing interesting happening. Whoever currently controls the 8chan site used the excitement about and desire for the return of Q to launch a damn shit coin scam.
I don’t know that I have ever seen hype so brutally turned into blue balls in my life. I actually feel bad for these guys. Like I described at the beginning, the Q psy-op achieved some positive cultural change in my opinion so I can see why some people are still enthusiastic about it. Although if you want to be cynical maybe that is how they got their fame and current grift and they have been unable to pivot since Q disappeared. A return of Q would be good for their media business. That I think is a little harsh, since their MO is basically research things thoroughly to find the truth about the world. That’s a good message to have. Good things can be expected to come from encouraging it. However, its probably time to pivot boys. Q had a good run, but he’s gone now.
Or maybe they created the memecoin themselves and were just trying to build hype, cash out shortly after launch, and disappear into the sunset with their dollar sign bags filled with ill-gotten loot. To me, 99% of memecoins and bitcoin clones seem like pump and dump scams. Unethical con-artists hoping they can market really well and get rich by scamming fools out of their money. See the Hawk-tuah scam coin for the most outrageous example. This 8chan Q coin gambit was a clever attempt at this as far as such things go. There is a lot of latent hype among Q enthusiasts to tap into and take advantage of. Hopefully the built up incredulity cultivation I mentioned earlier, as well as other high-profile examples of scam coins, prevented most of the Q boys from actually getting scammed by this but who knows.
The people sincerely hoping for a return of Q really got their rugs pulled. I am sure it feels bad man. This little event must have been disastrous for the hopeful. Maybe it was even a professional demoralization operation and humiliation ritual. That wouldn’t surprise me. I wish them a quick recovery. It will probably be good when the meme coin fad fades. That should be soon because of how many have turned out to be scams right? These constant pump and dump marketing campaigns are pretty annoying.
I might add, most of these scam coins are in the buyer should have known better category. Even before meme coin scams became popular the whole thing seems suspicious.
Especially huak tuah girl. It is hard to imagine anyone being stupid enough to actually purchase that nonsense. It doesn’t get much more pathetic than the crude statement which launched her 15 minutes. No one should have ever trusted her. And honestly, I wouldn’t rule out that no one did and that was a bunch of BS made to accomplish the goal of another psy-op.
Either way, scam coins need to start getting called out more so that these types of scams can’t be successful and just go away forever.
