Hunter Biden Makes Bold Plea to Elon Musk After LAPTOP Coin Crash

Bitcoin trades at $76,900, down 0.1% over the past 24 hours, making its latest move look tame next to the carnage surrounding Hunter Biden memecoin. What happens when a famous political name meets a bot-heavy Base launch?

Apparently, a near-total wipeout, followed by a very public, half-joking SOS to Elon Musk.LAPTOP launched on Base last Wednesday and surged to $199 within two minutes before collapsing to around $3.70 within the hour.

Biden blamed the crash on his market maker, claiming the token had just $5,000 in liquidity. That thin liquidity left the coin extremely vulnerable to sharp price swings as traders piled in and then rushed for the exits.
