Asteroid Shiba Gains 920% After Musk Names SpaceX Mascot, But One Trader Misses Big

This is the unluckiest guy Ive ever seen!

80 days ago, trader 0x5811 spent $542 to buy 7.43B $ASTEROID.

Just one day before $ASTEROID pumped, he sold all 7.43B $ASTEROID for $405, taking a $137 loss.

Today, those 7.43B $ASTEROID are worth over $2.6M.

Her mother, Rebecca Perrotto, responded on X, thanking him for keeping her daughters memory alive.

“You didn‘t just honor a young girl’s dream, you are keeping her spirit alive. Livs love, her laughter, her unbreakable fight lives on through Asteroid,” she wrote.

Winners, Losers, and Risk

While wallet 0x5811 missed millions, another trader turned roughly $1,800 in ETH into nearly $500,000 within hours of Musks post.

However, Musks ability to move meme coins has shown signs of fading. Previous Musk-linked rallies in tokens like GORK and KEKIUS were short-lived.

Musk himself has previously compared meme coins to gambling. ASTEROID has no product, roadmap, or team behind it. The token carries significant risk for anyone buying after the initial move.

“If you expect to win at meme coins, you‘re being foolish. You’re not going to win with meme coins. Dont sink your life savings into a meme coin,” he said in an interview with The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
