Using the BNB chain meme craze to Be Played for Suckers? Threads users pay tribute to the Hualien hero with the "Shovel Superman" charity coin, claiming to raise funds for disaster relief.
In the recent meme coin craze on the BNB Chain, a charity token named “Shovel Superman” unexpectedly surged: the anonymous initiator promised to raise 18 BNB and donate all of it to disaster victims in Hualien, Taiwan, but it raised doubts in the community: is this a sincere tribute to the disaster relief heroes, or a hidden trap to play people for suckers? (Previous summary: Commentary》Attention Arbitrage: Meme coins are the most honest narrative in the crypto market) (Background supplement: Galaxy Digital report: Meme coins have become a permanent core of the crypto market) Recently, under the leadership of Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) and He Yi, the BNB Chain ignited a wave of meme coins, with “Binance Life” leading to a rapid wealth effect, attracting a large number of investors to mine in the BNB Chain. In this context, yesterday (8th) on Threads, an anonymous user posted that they had issued a meme coin named “Shovel Superman” on the BNB Chain, aiming to commemorate and pay tribute to those who participated in disaster relief and extended a helping hand during the recent disaster in Hualien, Taiwan, and that once the meme coin successfully launched, all proceeds would be donated to Guangfu Township in Hualien. Raising 18 BNB, questioned by the community The user pointed out in the post that the token is still in the fundraising stage, with a target of 18 BNB (approximately $20,000), and emphasized that this meme coin is only for charity, so he does not take responsibility for any losses incurred. Currently, some people have expressed goodwill by making payments in the comments section. However, it is worth noting that many netizens pointed out that this action may be problematic. First, many netizens speculated that this could very likely be a false pretext for charitable purposes, engaging in playing people for suckers, because issuing meme coins on-chain is inherently difficult to trace the issuer's identity, and the flow of donations is also hard to guarantee. Once these funds are misappropriated, it is feared that netizens will also find it difficult to seek rights from the issuer. It not only does not truly help the disaster area but also puts their charitable donations into the pockets of criminals. Secondly, there are many public donation channels available in society; if one really wants to help Hualien, they can express their kindness directly through these channels without needing to trust an unidentified person with questionable motives.
