Chongqing netizen Daidai quickly rose to fame due to a pig slaughter live stream, attracting over ten thousand viewers and a fan base that surged by 1.6 million. However, her high-leverage Bitcoin trading revealed the risks in the crypto space. Additionally, with a large number of meme coin projects emerging, their performance has been average, reflecting the rapid change in market hotspots.

【BitPush】Chongqing netizen Daidai recently went viral due to a pig-slaughtering live stream, attracting over a thousand viewers from all over in a short period. The live broadcast peaked at over 100,000 online viewers, and the follower count soared, gaining 1.6 million followers in just a few days, making it a top trending topic on social media.

Interestingly, a review video of Daidai’s 2025 annual summary revealed an intriguing detail — on the early morning of November 29th last year, this emerging internet celebrity once opened a Bitcoin short position with 100x leverage. This move somewhat reflects a certain current state of the crypto world: high leverage and high-risk trading methods are emerging everywhere.

After Daidai’s rise to fame, those with a keen sense in the crypto circle immediately started hyping related meme coins. On the BSC chain alone, dozens of themed meme projects have emerged, but honestly, the performance of these projects has been quite average. The hype comes quickly and fades just as fast; most haven’t been able to ride the wave. This also reflects a phenomenon in the current meme coin market: hot topics change rapidly, but truly sustainable projects are few and far between.

Playing BTC short with 100x leverage, this guy is really crazy. The money earned from live streaming and killing pigs is probably all invested in it. Meme coins are back again. It’s always the same—once the hype surges, people rush in, and then it’s gone. The sniffing ability of crypto people is truly incredible. Before the trend even stabilizes, they start creating coins. The mentality of making quick money never changes. Daidai, this wave is really outrageous. Today’s top influencer might be forgotten tomorrow. On BSC, nine out of ten meme coins are aimed at chives. I won’t touch them anymore. Combining live streaming with the crypto world—this combo is a bit too crazy. 100x leverage—one slippage and it’s game over. Is this the norm in the crypto circle? Meme coins that quickly lose their hype are the most dangerous. The bagholders are already lining up.

100x leverage short position? This guy is really ruthless, either live-streaming to kill pigs or killing himself in the crypto market. --- It's the old trick of meme coins cutting leeks again. Daidai's popularity is really being targeted by crypto vampires. --- This is true gambler spirit. From live streams to exchanges, life depends entirely on leverage. --- Dozens of meme projects on the BSC chain rise quickly and die just as fast. It's outrageous. --- How to put it, once it becomes popular, the crypto world starts to deify and hype coins. After a few months, it's all just a mess. --- 100x leverage short position, this brother is really thrilling. No wonder he's a crypto person. --- It feels like as soon as something gets popular, someone will issue a coin to ride the wave and then run away. The套路 is too deep. --- This is a microcosm of the crypto world. The hype itself is the biggest meme.

Playing Bitcoin short positions with 100x leverage, this guy is really risking his life. The money earned from live streaming and killing pigs isn't even enough to cover a wave of losses. --- Is meme coin back again? Can it beat the market this time? I highly doubt it. --- Basically, it's about traffic monetization. When one coin gains popularity, someone wants to jump on the bandwagon. Unfortunately, most coins have no one to buy them. --- Using 100x leverage in the early morning? How brainless can you be? Luckily, this guy's live stream became popular, or he would have been liquidated early. --- The crypto circle's sense of smell is incredible. As soon as the wind blows, a dozen air coins appear. I bet five bucks that no one will remember these coins in three months. --- How come even killing pigs can be popular this year? Is there anything the crypto world can't do?
