LIBRA RESEARCH BREAKDOWN - PATREON EXCLUSIVE
🕑 Added 2025-02-20 19:07:51 +0000 UTCAn inside look of our blockchain trace of the $LIBRA token.
When Hayden confessed to sniping $MELANIA and $LIBRA a lot of this became confirmed so we didn't spend too much time on it in the video.
But I've been asked countless times on our process of discovering these things, and I think this story is a good example of how much you can discover on-chain!
Researcher Credit: @shady_oak1 on Twitter/X put most of this together starting from a wallet discovered by Dave Portnoy getting paid back.
Additional Credit: @bubblemaps on Twitter/X did some of the tracing that we built on as well

Hard to watch this video because I keep imagining you with an old Leica film camera (this is probably a niche gag, but you're giving off serious Grainy Days vibes here)

Hi Stephen, yesterday I run an IRL crypto event in Barcelona/Spain and used your videos to structure my talk. Here is the followup post I shared with the community w pics, slides and links - I hope/aim that many will follow you https://lu.ma/ep/ep-1JK6lcaAcp

I start to feel like an addict when no new Zilla has dropped in 2 weeks
Adri
I can make some stickers if you want?

Ohhh bubblemaps on dexscreener either they're not paying for premium (lolol) OR they like it to dissipate so people will buy these rigged rugs...

I'm a couple of days late, but has Ed been working on "As Seen in Wall Street Journal" graphics for Coffeezilla? Congrats, by the way!
Napoleon A. Mongeau
Lol, rewatch the Traders Domain series. That's the first appearance of the glasses
Taylor
Wow, those are some thick ol nerd glasses. I understand why I don't see them on youtube lmao

@Coffee - what tools do you use to trace crypto transactions? It gets really messy really fast doing it "by hand".
Nicholas Rednour
The thing is that if you are OK with a higher risk level predisposed to thinking certain kinds of gambles are acceptable risks for your situation, you can only resist the dollar signs and claims of those fantastical returns so long. That's how casinos make money. What I'm trying to get at is that when a certain kind of person who finds "high risk but also high reward if it pays off" acceptable starts seeing dollar signs, they might as well just hand their wallets over to their puppeteers.

Hey Coffee, this was exceptional - amazing work as always. Not sure how best to contact you so thought i’d try here, hope that’s ok. I’ve read about a significant rumour online involving Best Wallet and the team behind it - that they may be running a cycle of meme rug pulls over and over again and connected to a network of international companies (potentially including Web3 Payments, Clickout Media and Finixio) that could be assisting to facilitate the projects in some way. Some projects allegedly involved are Sealana, Weiner AI, Wall Street Pepe, Crypto AllStars - the list is significant and a lot more than this. Allegedly there may even be active presales currently. If the rumours are true, the total must be in the top end of the hundreds of millions of dollars by now - the last two (that people have said could be linked, Wall Street Pepe and Pepe Unchained) raised $150m in presale alone. There’s a few links below to get started - you’ll find a lot more about this (and all the projects individually) on Reddit and Coin Market Cap too. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/bestwallet.com https://theholycoins.com/blog/clickout-media-and-finixio-s-unethical-seo-tactics-accusations-of-parasite-seo-and-domain https://web3paymentsolutions.io/ Really hoping you can look into this one, I’d love to see them taken down and prosecuted if the above has any truth to it. Thanks for taking the time, and all the best sir
Edward Elric
how did you do this research?
Erica C
Hope you got some good sleep after this! :-)

I always get jelly when i see some random make millions on a meme but then I'm also glad I don't join these meme coins since most lose money.
Liv
This is nerd heaven! Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes info, it’s fascinating
JoJo
Hi, not sure if you have seen my previous comments? If you get a chance can you look into what I have posted about. I’d really appreciate it 😊 I have lots of contact that can verify the fraud etc
Chris Santon
Was about to leave the same comment. Amazing work!
Christophe
Amazing work! You and your team are literally doing the job that law enforcement should be doing to protect people from these schemes that are nothing more than zero sum games.
Harry Conger
Love this coffee. Very cool insight. Thank you!
Eduardo Sorribas Canela
Very interesting how you tracked the transaction through the bridge! Great work as always :)
The Last Scientist
Great interview with Hayden Davis.

I love the zoom out, the tech nerd in me is like “the circuit board schematic of blockchain degeneracy” lol, I feel like you would do really well doing board level repairs in a tech shop (if you don’t shake from all that caffeine loll)
Daryl
Great job making it legible for outsiders and making sure all the data is correct. Go get some well deserved sleep.
d3vnull10
Go sleep coffee... nice job.. haha can't hide on the blockchain confirmed once again 🔥
Sadie Pittman
Sleep well Coffee! Well deserved after all this content
James Linderman
Lots of coffee content lately. Loving it!
Coffeezilla
respect the PUMP
Coffeezilla
stumbling around the painfully obvious answer

I never understood why channels have featured their patrons in the credits. Until today, where I was looking for myself in the credits (not there, but know I will be there eventually. Investigations, editings, and graphic design takes a lot of time.)
Coffeezilla
it would be a coffee cup 😂☕
Luke D
"Crime never sleeps so neither do we." Awesome. Need a coffeezilla bat signal emoji.
Bryn Hildyr
"I don't see how I could do this ethically, but I want to make money?" He got so close to the point lol

all in on $ZILLA

Exactly! Like, what is the purpose of a memecoin? It is infinitly× worse than buying merch. Because with merch, you actually have something. There is no benefit to the person making the purchase at all.
Coffeezilla
it's an unregulated casino
Coffeezilla
never.
Coffeezilla
!! Amazing, yeah we tried to make the Patreon credits easier to read, as it was a common request.
pi
thanks, Coffee! This was the first episode where I saw my handle in the rolling credits, I even took a screenshot.
AnAllergyToAnalogy
When is the coffeezilla shitcoin gonna drop?
cadentipton
I still can’t believe people think memecoins have any intrinsic value whatsoever.
