The Wildest Meme Coin Stunts: Pump Fun’s Live-Streamed Circus

The meme coin world has always been a little unhinged, but Pump Fun’s new live-streaming feature has turned it into a full-blown madhouse. If you thought the world of crypto couldn’t get any stranger, buckle up. Developers are pulling stunts that make reality TV look tame, and crypto Twitter is eating it up. Let’s dive into the chaos, one deranged stunt at a time.

The Dog Cage Dev: $DOGECAGE

First up, we’ve got Locked in Dog Cage Until $25M ($DOGECAGE). The premise is exactly what it sounds like. The dev locked himself in an actual dog cage and promised not to leave until the coin hit a $25 million market cap.

To keep the audience entertained (or horrified), he added milestones — each one more bonkers than the last. You can see some of the highlights in the video clips floating around. Let’s just say if you’ve ever wondered what a grown man eating dog food looks like, this coin had you covered.

The 10-Year-Old Rugger: $QUANT

Meet the youngest scammer to make it, or did he? A 10-year-old who launched a coin called $QUANT and live-streamed himself rugging it for $30,000. The audacity? Unmatched. Naturally, Crypto Twitter didn’t take this lightly. They tracked down his school and doxxed him. But because this is crypto, they didn’t stop at outrage — they turned his scam into a meme-worthy revenge plot.

Crypto Twitter pumped $QUANT to a jaw-dropping $56 million market cap, making the kid’s original holdings worth over $1 million. Irony at its finest. But wait, it gets wilder. The community decided to tokenize his entire family. Yes, $QUANT MOM, $QUANT SIS, and $QUANT DAD became actual coins, complete with their personal names slapped on for good measure.

The result? A saga that’s equal parts poetic justice and absolute chaos. Whether this is the most creative form of internet revenge or just a collective descent into madness, we’ll let you decide. For now, the kid might be rethinking his career in crypto — assuming he even understands what happen

The “No Hands Rug”

This one feels like a skit from a comedy show. A developer launched No Hands Rug, a coin with the simple promise: “No rug pull.” To prove his sincerity, he live-streamed himself standing with a sign that said “NO HAND RUG,” while keeping one hand hidden behind his back.

Investors, clearly hungry for meme content, bought in droves. The coin pumped. Then, in true meme coin fashion, the hidden hand came into play — on his mouse, clicking sell. Watching the live-streamed rug pull in real-time was almost poetic. It was like a modern-day performance art piece titled: “Trust Issues 101.”

The Toilet Dev: AKA “Krazy SBF”

Some stories make you question humanity. This is one of them. A dev looking suspiciously like Sam Bankman-Fried (hence the nickname “Krazy SBF”) promised to do progressively humiliating stunts as his coin’s market cap grew.

  • At $10 million, he shaved his eyebrows live on stream.
  • At $20 million, he said he’d, uh, soil himself.
  • Now, he’s streaming from a toilet, refusing to leave until the coin hits $50 million.
They look alike!

This has been going on for over 24 hours, and yes, he’s still there. People are tuning in like it’s a Netflix series. The real question is: who’s worse, the dev or the audience cheering him on? (Spoiler: probably both.)

As of the time of writing the toilet dev is still livestreaming on Pump Fun for 3 days straight!!

$RACISTDEV: The 50K Kid Rug

As if one kid rugger wasn’t enough, here’s $RACISTDEV, another young developer who made off with $50,000. But instead of quietly vanishing like any sensible scammer, he posted a video bragging about it.

In the clip, he mocks investors with the confidence of someone who doesn’t realize how fast the internet works. Crypto Twitter went into meltdown mode again, though we have to admit — this kid’s audacity might have set a new bar. At this rate, “ruggers with attitude” might become a genre.

Why Are We Watching This?

Contrary to what you might think, these outrageous stunts aren’t just tolerated — they’re celebrated. The classic crypto Twitter crowd thrives on stories that make them laugh while also making them money. This blend of entertainment and gains is exactly why many meme coins are now finding their way onto centralized exchanges (CEX).

Community pushes have been so strong that exchanges are adopting meme coin culture to stay relevant. While not every stunt pays off, a surprising number of these coins end up getting pumped. It’s a mix of luck, timing, and just the right amount of chaos.

What’s Next?

You’d think the meme coin space couldn’t possibly get any wilder, but history tells us otherwise. Developers seem locked in a never-ending game of one-upmanship. Next time it might be someone live-streaming from a shark tank or tattooing their wallet address on their forehead.

For now, let’s just hope no one gets hurt (except maybe their dignity). Until then, enjoy the circus.

A Word of Caution

Nothing in this article is financial advice. This was written purely for entertainment purposes, and we don’t hold or own any of the coins mentioned. If you’re tempted to jump into the meme coin frenzy, remember to do your own research — or at least check if the developer is live-streaming from a dog cage or toilet first.
