This would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.
When crypto started being used as a speculative asset, I was tempted to slap a joke coin together (was thinking about cribbing the US currency pyramid - but with his noodlyness in place of the all-seeing eye). Turned out to be more work than just-a-joke was worth, so I dropped the idea - but we could'a had pastacoin. :-)
Now that I see what's happened, and think about how that developer must feel, I am SUPER glad I didn't do it.
BTW, I'm old enough to remember when viruses and worms were basically practical jokes (google 'robin and little john' for details of one). Eventually things got out of hand - and they stopped being funny.
