Andrew Tate floated the idea of launching his own crypto token on Twitter, backed by $100 million of his own cash—but deleted the pitch when the reception he received wasn’t exactly a warm one.
The self-proclaimed misogynist and accused human trafficker famously disavowed crypto last summer. “I do not have anything to do with any crypto,” he tweeted in all caps. “I’m not a scammer like every other ‘influencer.’ I don’t need to rob my fans.”
Tate has had a fraught relationship with cryptocurrency, and Bitcoin in particular. He based a significant portion of his public persona on excessive wealth that was built in part on investing in Bitcoin. As he faced prosecution for rape and human trafficking, officials in Romania seized millions of dollars in homes, luxury cars, expensive watches—and 21 Bitcoin.
He could still recover 21 of those seized Bitcoin, Protosreported last week—and now he seems to be warming to the idea of his own coin.
Andrew Tate’s now-deleted tweet.
His now-deleted pitch for a coin—which he promises he will “never sell”—said that he’d back it with $100 million and that he’d give early access and a discount to members of his so-called “university.”
“Then, because I’m the most famous man alive, I’ll promote it everywhere; let you all make money,” he promised. He added that he would do it if the tweet received 50,000 retweets.
It’s unclear if he made that goal before removing the post. But the announcement reverberated across crypto Twitter. Some degens were in—whether or not they were fans of Tate—while others pointed out his apparent hypocrisy.
You said you would never launch your own coin @Cobratate 10/10 for integrity and ethics.

Long before Edgar Wright’s The Running Man hits theaters this week, the director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz had been thinking about making it. He read the original 1982 novel by Stephen King (under his pseudonym Richard Bachman) as a boy and excitedly went to theaters in 1987 to see the film version, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Wright enjoyed the adaptation but was a little let down by just how different it was from the novel. Years later, after he’d become a successful… Source link
