I am so fing sorry.
This is not a joke I really f****d up and im really sorry.
Othershave called it a scam.
Still othershave saidit appears to have been a genuine goof-up.
At any rate, Slerf is actually a lot less interesting than the new industry trend that it represents.
At one point, Slerfsurgedfrom an initial price of 3 cents to a high of $1.4.
That said, the industry model that Slerf is a part of seems designed for scams.
In fact, its basically a recipe forendless rug pulls.
The crypto world, itself, has openly acknowledged this.
One crypto user pessimistically joked:
I see collapsing presales spreading across the timeline in an unquenchable fire.
A memecoin armageddon, people losing billions of dollars trying to gamble their way out of hell.
Likeother parts of the web, its done pretending to be classy and has entered its nihilistic debauchery phase.
