stevey already made $300K from cryptocurrency grift on Gas Town. Read his blog post about it.

Complete with a "Let’s goooooooo!"

And FOMO stories about missing out on Bitcoin when he knew about it, so he doesn't want you to miss out on this new opportunity to get "filthy rich" as an "investor" while you still can.

  • I don't get crypto - just looked up how a couple of most performant stocks did in the past decade, and I'm pretty sure you could outperform BTC with the same amount of risk tolerance.

    The swings on BTC price are absolutely insane, and ETH even more so (which is even more risky, without showing higher gains).

  • More details on the pump and dump scheme he joined in on promoting and drew money from: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/01/22/steve-yegges-gas-town-vib...

    • This initially sunk my heart, but in all his replies there are like 50 very clearly unintelligent crypto grifters telling him he needs to be killed for scamming them, so I am unsure who to root for at this point. It's depressing he accepted it, but I might partially forgive it due to him making a lot of them lose money.

    • I feel it's hard to criticize people for engaging in this anymore. Why would any reasonable person not take the free money?

      In the past this would've been different when you couldn't necessarily expect all participants to be fully aware of what's going on, but absolutely nobody is treating "gas town" coins as a serious investment.

what the? how do you sell crypto based on a description of an orchestration framework?

donations?

People keep giving him the benefit of the doubt. "He's clearly on to something, I just don't know what". I know what. The hustle of the shill. He has long gone from 'let's use a lot of tokens' to seeking a high score. He disgusts me.
