Pretty soon you'll be able to get paid interest on your WETH in WTF. WTF is a meta token based on a smart contract token based on Ethereum. With WTF, you never need to worry about where your money is. You can be assured that 100% of the time you try to redeem it you will stare at your screen for hours going WHAT THE FUCK

WTF is an actual real token of ETH chain, https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/wtf-token with a market cap of $1.3 million.

https://protos.com/crypto-airdrop-tries-cover-ethereum-gas-f... Did you know about the token beforehand and made a sarcastic post on it, or was it just a pure coincidence.

Pure coincidence. I had written "wtf" in response to something else and it just sounded like a good coin name for a joke. I don't follow the latest in shitcoins. Not that I'm exactly surprised there's a token called WTF...

“It sounded like a good joke” is the rationale behind a lot of popular altcoin names.

Incredibly, I wasn't even completely sure this was a joke. Something like this doesn't feel too far off from the madness going on in the space
