$1,000 in Ethereum Max after Kim Kardashian’s Post: What is the Profit/Loss?

The SEC charged Kim Kardashian $1.26 million for failing to disclose that she received $250,000 for promoting Ethereum Max crypto. Kardashian posted about Ethereum Max on her Instagram Stories in June 2021 and reached millions of people worldwide.

Kardashian’s Instagram Story read,

“Are you guys into crypto???? This is not financial advice but sharing what my friends just told me about the Ethereum Max token! A few minutes ago Ethereum Max burned 400 trillion tokens. Literally 50% of their admin wallet giving back to the entire E-Max community”.

Ethereum Max was launched in May 2021 and the founders paid Kim Kardashian to promote it in June 2021. When Kardashian promoted Ethereum Max, its price was trading at $0.000000069571 (seven zeroes). It had already reached its all-time high of $0.000000597636 on May 31, 2021.

If you had invested money on the day Kim Kardashian promoted Ethereum Max, you would have lost 96% of your invested amount today. Therefore, if you had put $1,000 in June 2021 after Kardashian’s Ethereum Max promotions, you would be left with ~$40.

This indicates that blindly buying tokens that celebrities promote is nothing but a recipe for disaster. The celebrities have no knowledge about the market conditions or the token in itself, but fill up their coffers with promotions. The average Joe takes a beating and tanks his/her finances after being lured by celebrity promotions.
