In the fast-paced world of meme coins, rumors can spread like wildfire, especially when they involve big holders—often called "whales"—potentially dumping their stacks. Recently, a tweet from @baoskee, a prominent figure in the crypto space with ties to daosdotfun, sparked a lively discussion about the Moo Deng ($MOODENG) meme coin. For those new to this, Moo Deng is a real-life baby pygmy hippo that's gone viral online for its cute antics, inspiring a Solana-based meme token that's captured the imagination of the crypto community.
The tweet in question (view it here) asks: "hey someone told me in the space today we shook out the guy with 10% someone got the receipts for that or is that just a rumor latina language model." Now, "shook out" is crypto slang for when market volatility forces someone to sell their position, often at a loss. The "guy with 10%" refers to a whale holding about 10% of the token's supply, which could significantly impact the price if they decide to sell.
The community jumped in with replies ranging from skepticism to evidence-hunting. One user, @jmhuolongguo, dismissed it as "No evidence to support that claim, likely just a rumor." Others shared memes and even some wallet screenshots to check on large holders.
Take this screenshot shared by @xinxinh777, showing a wallet still holding strong with over 41% of what appears to be a position in a token—though it's not explicitly confirmed as $MOODENG, the context suggests it might be related. @baoskee followed up asking "whos this," keeping the conversation going. Other replies included jokes and even comments in Chinese, like @Carl881024 saying "你这拉丁语言模型ai不行啊," which roughly translates to "Your Latina language model AI isn't good."
This thread highlights how meme coin communities thrive on real-time discussions on platforms like X (formerly Twitter). For $MOODENG enthusiasts, shaking out a whale could mean less selling pressure and potentially higher prices, but without solid "receipts"—crypto speak for proof like transaction hashes—it's all speculation.
If you're into meme tokens, keeping an eye on whale movements is key. Tools like DexScreener or Solana Explorer can help track large transactions. As always in crypto, do your own research (DYOR) and remember that meme coins are highly volatile—fun, but risky.
