Dave Portnoy Declares Himself As the Unofficial Leader of SafeMoon Cryptocurrency
“I like the word ‘moon’ because that’s where I want to go.”

The self-proclaimed “Bitcoin Baron” Dave Portnoy is making headlines in the cryptocurrency world once again. Holding one of his signature Barstool emergency press conferences, El Pres starts off by explaining that the recent Dogecoin and Bitcoin leveraging by Elon Musk got him thinking that he needs to get involved in another altcoin, more specifically, a shitcoin.
Choosing between DOGE, ASS, LTC, SafeMoon, SHIBA, and HOGE, Portnoy went on to explain that he would be choosing one coin and appointing himself as the leader of that coin — swearing that he will either ride it to the stratosphere or hell on Earth. Either way, he is not selling. He ultimately revealed that he put $40,000 USD in SafeMoon and that he would back it 100 percent.
Reiterating that he has no idea what it does and that he is not giving financial advice, Portnoy continued with, “it could be a Ponzi scheme. I like the word ‘moon’ because that’s where I want to go.” Since the press conference, many have taken to Twitter with mixed feelings towards his choice of shitcoin.

I’ve never been more confident in my decision to back #SAFEMOON I had no clue all this hate and jealousy in #crypto existed. But as Reggie Jackson once said “fans don’t boo nobodies”. If people are this frightened of the #SAFEMOONARMY that means I picked the right one
