“# 5 stories that suggest crypto is moving into ludicrous territory <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

The Bitcoin bull run may have slowed since the price retreated from $42,000 last week, but the pace of absurd crypto stories app<\/a>ears to have sped up.<\/p>\n

Just like we saw in 2017, when a bull run gets going, life in the crypto gets increasingly weird. Maybe that’s because retail is finally here, with social media<\/a> interest in Bitcoin hitting an all-time high last week.<\/p>\n

The result is a hilarious combination of noobs trying to understand crypto amid crazy memes, influencers doling out terrible advice, and faded celebs shilling Bitcoin for bucks. <\/p>\n

Dogecoin up 163% and listed on three new exchanges<\/strong><\/p>\n

The joke cryptocurrency that won\u2019t quit, Dogecoin (DOGE), apparently doesn\u2019t need Elon Musk\u2019s help to maintain interest among crypto holders. This week, the token was listed on exchanges FTX<\/a> and Huobi<\/a> Futures with no apparent explanation. The price<\/a> of DOGE has risen 163% in the past month as newcomers entered the markets, to $0.0087 at the time of publication.<\/p>\n

Lindsay Lohan wants to drive \u201clambos to the moon\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many initial coin offerings in 2017 brought with them a number of celebrity endorsements who haven\u2019t really shown their faces in the crypto sphere since \u2014 for example, Steven Seagal, Paris Hilton and Floyd Mayweather. Actress Lindsay Lohan appeared in a crypto promotional video this week mentioning Ether (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC) and telling people to \u201cdrive your lambos to the moon.\u201d We suspect her fascination with crypto lasted about as long as the video took to shoot.<\/p>\n

Ivan on Tech\u2019s ‘Respect the Pump’ video<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crypto influencer Ivan on Tech became an instant meme thanks<\/a> to this hilarious video where he told viewers to \u201crespect the pump\u201d multiple times and even invoked Star Wars by saying \u201clet the pump be with you.\u201d The social media star ended up saying \u201cpump\u201d at least 12 times in under a minute:<\/p>\n
