A ‘Shitcoin’ Can Now Be Created In Under 23 Seconds
A cryptocurrency with little to no value, or a virtual currency with no obvious, immediate use is referred to as a ‘shitcoin’. Now, a new ‘speedrun’ video shows how anyone can create a brand-new cryptocurrency in less than 30 seconds.
A viral video has emerged explaining how simple it is for anyone with an Internet connection to create a brand-new cryptocurrency from scratch. Meme coins have recently attracted the attention of the larger cryptocurrency industry.
Digital artist Johnny Shankman, also known as whitelights.eth on Twitter, created and deployed an entirely new token, jokingly called "EASY_MONEY," in just 27 seconds in a ‘speed run’ on May 6, 2023.
The record was then surpassed the next day with a time of 22.45 seconds. The phrase ‘speed run’ comes from the gaming world and refers to beating a level or game in the shortest amount of time feasible.
