These Two Tweets Made One Trader $197k

Punk9059 pulled 1,052,316 ($197,835.40) Pacmoon from the token’s airdrop with only two tweets (and a referral code).
Full Story
You know those YouTube ads that try and seduce you into the idea that by sending traffic to Amazon, you can earn enough referral fees to buy a lambo?
Then you do the math on Amazon’s 4% referral fee and discover that in order to buy a second hand lambo at ~$100k, the traffic you referred would have to generate $2.5M in sales…
This is like the crypto version of that, but no ones trying to sell you anything (and the reward rates are WAY better):
So the memecoin ‘Pacmoon’ recently ran an airdrop that rewarded referrers in two ways:
The tried and true method of ‘someone buys Pacmoon using your referral code, you get some crypto.’
The less familiar ‘for every view your tweet gets, you get some crypto’ method.
And the Twitter/X user @punk9059 absolutely dominated the airdrop, with two tweets (plus a little help from @frankdegods, who accidentally shared Punk9059’s referral code).
Tweet one:
And tweet two:
That’s it! As a result, Punk9059 earned 354,179 $PAC from the referrals, and 698,137 from tweet views — for a total of 1,052,316 $PAC.
At the time of this writing, $PAC is worth $0.188 a piece, meaning Punk9059 is currently sitting on $197,835.40.
The takeaway:
This space is nuts.
