The Rise and Fall of Ben.eth: From Memecoin Mania to Disappearance

This guy extracted millions in a deep bear market
Gained the attention of Andrew Tate.
Got sued for tens of millions.
And disappeared out of nowhere.
Who was Ben.eth?
Ben’s story starts during the 2023 memecoin mania
Kicked off by the PEPE pump.
He was a small NFT influencer with 15,000 followers.
But getting in early on PEPE made him money
And gave him a dangerous idea.
He launched his own token, a PEPE copy called $BEN.
At first, it had low volume.
Then BitBoy started talking about it
That brought massive attention to Ben.eth.
And it was just the beginning.
After $BEN took off
The new influencer launched another token:
A presale called $PSYOP.
It blew up.
Ben.eth raised $7 million in less than 72 hours.
The launch of PSYOP promised rewards for BEN holders.
Hype exploded.
Even Andrew Tate got involved.
Rumors said he was behind the token too.
Tate made a statement saying he’d never support a memecoin (a lie).
The token crashed.
But this wasn’t the end for Ben.
For his third token, Ben.eth launched LOYAL.
He promised PSYOP holders more rewards.
BitBoy backed it again, saying it would power a new memecoin DEX.
But just like before
The token crashed.
Just hours after LOYAL crashed,
Ben.eth launched a new NFT collection called ORANGE.
10,000 supply. 0.1 ETH mint.
His followers bought 9,000 NFTs within hours.
It sold out fast
But once again, it was a scam.
Ben also promoted a scam token called DAVE
All of this led to a lawsuit.
Shortly after, his account got suspended and he vanished.
But what about his real identity?
Ben’s identity was shared in a few posts
One said his real name was Blake (not even Ben)
Pauly later doxxed him without solid proofs
No one really knows who Ben is.
Do you think he’s still out there?
An investor shares his rules for profiting from memecoins, arguing that success comes from understanding key market mechanics, not gambling. He highlights the importance of analyzing a token’s community strength and tokenomics, along with proper due diligence to avoid scams. The core advice is to manage risk, never risking more than 10% of your capital on a single trade.

Bitcoin’s 9.7% pullback and Strategy’s equity guidance rattled markets, sparking fears of a fragile model. But with $73B in BTC and long-term positioning, some see this as preparation for SP 500 inflows—not collapse. Optionality is strategy, not betrayal.

Michael Saylor turned MicroStrategy into a $33B Bitcoin vault, fueled by debt and equity dilution. The model depends on Bitcoin’s relentless rise—if BTC stalls below $40K, the structure could collapse, forcing the company to sell its core holdings.
