Having considered how cool the five-year-old found it, the crypto celebrity Wendy decided to go live. It could also be for the simple reason that there was no reason not to. The tweet looked more or less like a simple casual invite with a little “shhh” thrown in for the kids still asleep. But it was all downhill in the replies, transforming into Star Wars memes, hype for crypto, and some… questionable financial advice.

Respect to-the-one-who-honked: “She’s pretty hot.” No context, no follow-up, just vibes. Classic Twitter. Then, several respondents signaled that they had made some quick 7K profits going from $6,000 to $18,300 in under one week, so thanks, mystery trader. Sure. If that were the case, would there be anyone left working?
But instead of the charm, we get the Star Wars crypto bros. Darth Vadors Gems basically screamed at Wendy not to ‘fade the Star Wars community,’ after which it dropped a wallet address worthy of a Jedi mind trick. The replies for that? Oh, they were the torchbearers of poetry. Somebody said Vader broken a mirror just by walking past it. Another claimed that the fastest Kessel Run by Han Solo actually happened after Vader ‘let loose in the cantina.’ Impressive level of commitment to the bit.
Then there’s one: Rebel ships were feared by Vader for ‘one reason: poor ventilation.’ Like, what? This is the kind of nonsense you only find on crypto Twitter-a crossroad of memes and money fading glory.
Real investment advice tried to interject through all the chaos. One suggestion was to: “Punish” 15-20% of your portfolio with “defensive assets,” and “hedge against black swan events” with options. ‘Cool story,’ but let’s be honest- Most of us came here to laugh.
Those ginormous spambot “follow this trader and get rich” replies show up as well, only believable as far as any promise from a Sith Lord. But this is Twitter; the world exists in equal parts hype, humor, and people trying to hustle you into buying something.
This, I would say, was less crypto discussion and more Star Wars-themed comedic roasting. Larger than life-fun than yet another snoozefest price prediction thread. Wendy was live streaming, and then the replies became performers.

If you ever needed evidence of the weirdest corner of the internet, take a scroll down that thread. And then there is everything: terrible financial advice, very niche meme culture, and at least one simp in the replies. What else do you need?
