• Andrew Tate purchased 10,000 of a Madonna-themed cryptocurrency token with the intention of “crashing” the Solana network
• Tate also made a bold prediction that Ethereum’s price will soon reach $4,000
• Despite his claims, truly crashing the Solana network may prove difficult given its consistent uptime and scalability
Andrew Tate, the controversial internet personality, has apparently declared war on Solana after turning bullish on Bitcoin and making a bold Ethereum price prediction.
Tate’s Bullish Bitcoin and Ethereum Predictions
Earlier in May, Tate proclaimed he was “done with fiat” and going all in on cryptocurrencies. More recently, he predicted Ethereum would hit $4,000 soon.
Tate Vows to Crash Solana
On June 7, Tate posted a gif of the Muppets character Elmo in front of a fire, stating he would crash the Solana network. Around the same time, he announced buying 10,000 of a Madonna-themed token to “f*ck Madonna,” promising to hold it with “diamond hands.”
Can Tate Actually Crash Solana?
While Tate has a massive online following, crashing Solana may prove difficult. The blockchain is known for consistent uptime and scalability. However, Solana has experienced crashes before, so Tate may find some success.
Solana’s Strong 2024 Performance
Solana has performed well in 2024, with the token up nearly 70% year-to-date. This comes after a late 2023 rally saw SOL rocket from about $20 in October to over $100 on New Year’s Day. Solana’s price today stands at $171.14.
Conclusion
Despite his bold claim and popularity, Andrew Tate faces a tall order in his apparent quest to crash Solana. However, the blockchain has crashed sporadically before, so Tate’s vow shouldn’t be dismissed entirely. His colorful antics will likely continue drawing attention in the crypto space and beyond.
