Hamster Kombat Hype Turns To Gripes After HMSTR Token Plummets On Launch

The hype around Telegram clicker game Hamster Kombat quickly turned to gripes after the HMSTR token imploded on launch and players slammed the project’s airdrop.

The HMSTR token slumped as much as 50% after listing on major crypto exchanges yesterday as frustration over the project erupted on social media platforms.

“You gave me dust after 4 months,” said one X user while venting his frustration towards the airdrop. ”I am killing hamsters, rats, rabbits or anything that looks like a hamster.”

HMSTR is trading at $0.006655 as of 10:07 a.m. EST, down 26% from its launch price. It has a market capitalization of $428 million, making it the 423rd biggest crypto, according to CoinMarketCap.

Hamster Kombat Players Criticize The Team For HMSTR’s Unfair Distribution

Hamster Kombat distributed 60 billion HMSTR tokens, which is 60% of the crypto’s supply, through multiple tier-1 exchanges including Binance, OKX and BitGet yesterday.

Following months of participating in the game, completing quests, and promoting Hamster Kombat, several players were angered after only receiving as little as $2 worth of tokens.

A major issue that has been brought up online is the token’s distribution. Some of the game’s once-loyal players accused the project’s team of unfairly disqualifying 63% of participants from receiving tokens. 

Out of the game’s 300 million players, only 131 million qualified for the token distribution event. Another 2.3 million lost their eligibility recently for alleged cheating.

To make matters worse, community members who backed the project received meager rewards, while influencers reportedly received millions of tokens for hardly any effort.

Some disgruntled airdrop participants also left comments for the project’s smart contract on the TON network. “Assholes, be cursed with your airdrop,” one person wrote.

#HMSTRSCAM Trends Online

Angry Hamster Kombat players are now urging others to block the project’s bot as well as boycott its social media accounts. Conversations linked to #HMSTRSCAM are also trending online.

Many have said that they will not be participating in the second season of the airdrop campaign, anticipating that the next distribution will be just as disappointing.

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people. They are just re-routing existing… https://t.co/MMZHSbGB9U — Dr. Julian Hosp (@julianhosp) September 15, 2023 The Cake Group CEO argue

Will Bitcoin Benefit From the Declining Dollar?

Image
The U.S. dollar has been put under the limelight for an array of reasons. BRICS undoubtedly tops the list after its De-dollarization initiative. Amidst this, Stanley Druckenmiller, a billionaire investor, disclosed that he has shorted the U.S. dollar. He believed the Federal Reserve would soon need to lower interest rates due to a setback in the economy. In what he described as the most uncertain phase of his career, he claimed the move is his lone confident trade while speaking at an event. He added, “One area I’m comfortable with is I’m short the US dollar. Currency trends tend to run for two or three years. We have had a long [run] higher.” The investor believed that the dollar would continue to decline. Druckenmiller pointed out that Fed will take action to counteract the impacts of a downturn in the economy. However, if interest rates decrease the value of the dollar will tag along. While it is certainly bad for the dollar, Bitcoin [BTC] and other investments

Cardano, HEX Fail to Rally Post Whale Activity, But SHIB Does, Why?

Image
According to Santiment, the cryptocurrency analysis firm, Hex (HEX) and Cardano (ADA) are seeing a rise in whale activity. Santiment noted that transactions over $100k are historically associated with upcoming price shifts. However, both HEX and ADA have failed to rally following the whale activity spike. Alongside the former assets, Shiba Inu witnessed increased whale activity as well. SHIB, however, has rallied 19.3% in the seven-day chart. 🐳 Three of the more polarizing assets in #crypto, #Cardano, #ShibaInu, and #Hex, are seeing big spikes in large whale transactions. When $100k+ transactions spike on a network, it historically is associated with upcoming price shifts. Monitor closely. 👀 https://t.co/KG0mTWH11y pic.twitter.com/PHI9NOaxbn — Santiment (@santimentfeed) February 5, 2023 In the last 24 hours, Cardano ( ADA ) has fallen 2.4%, while HEX has fallen 5.7%. The lack of any positive price movements for both projects is surprising, given their historical whale data. A
