**AITA for naming my crypto project "HarambeCoin" and then rug-pulling the entire animal conservation sector?**
So, I (24M, "entrepreneur") launched this memecoin called **HarambeCoin** back in '21. The whole pitch was: "Honor his memory. Save the gorillas. Diamond hands for the silverback." 🦍
Naturally, the WSB crowd and some terminally online zoo enthusiasts threw their life savings at it. We had a gorilla-themed NFT roadmap, a "B&B with Bonobos" metaverse, and a charity wallet that was just a screenshot of a banana.
Fast forward to yesterday: I liquidated the entire liquidity pool. Total haul: $4.2M.
Immediately, the "Dian Fossey" fan club starts doxxing me. They're crying about how I "betrayed the legacy of a fallen king." One guy sent me a 12-page manifesto titled *"The Geopolitical Ramifications of Harambe's Death on Modern Cryptocurrency."*
**TL;DR:** I made bank off a dead gorilla. AITA for not using the profits to fund a zoo for depressed silverbacks?
Edit: For the record, I did buy a banana NFT for $50k. So the spirit lives on. 🦍💎🙌
