To clarify-- one of our community members noticed a small silhouette that resembled Asteroid in the SpaceX IPO day film.
Upon sharing this, many others have reviewed the footage. It is undeniable that the mascot of SpaceX was present for the IPO 🚀🚀🚀

🚨 SCAM ALERT - #CryptoScam#MemeCoinScam#RugPull
⛔️CSEC_1651: $ASTEROID
4UeLCRqARmfb6e6KQijtiktqqXUxbfk6jZng7DhuBAGS
⚠️ Out of my radar and almost 6 month old doesn’t mean it’s clean! 💀
The dev scammer used Axiom bundles to snipe a huge chunk of the supply, then dump, pump, and rotate.
Some big snipers like 0xMoco, Cupsey, Owl, Jijo... were in before migration, but:
🔹 5.7K holders
🔹 Low social engagement for almost $20M MC at the top
🔹 Hidden bundles, wash trading, fresh and shady wallets... those are the key words!
Looks SUPER SUS 👀

Dear Liv's Mom,@rebeccaperrotto
I'm a stranger from far away who has been quietly following your and Liv's story. Please forgive me for reaching out like this — I wouldn't have written if my heart hadn't been so heavy watching how things are unfolding these past few days.
I remember that one of Liv's final wishes was for the money from her plushies to go to @StJude Children's Research Hospital — to help children like her. That wish was pure, and it was hers.
I noticed that just yesterday, the person leading crypto donations at @StJude gave a very thoughtful, professional public response about how tokens and donations can be handled. @StJude has been the most trusted name in childhood-cancer care for decades — they have mature systems for fund management, tax compliance, and grant disbursement. If they directly carry Liv's wish forward, you wouldn't have to shoulder the weight of running an entire foundation alone, and the kids Liv wanted to help would receive that help faster and more reliably.
The reason I'm writing — and I'm sorry for the bluntness — is that I've spent time in the Web3 space and I know how this ecosystem really works. I want to be honest with you about a few things, and I genuinely hope you'll consider them:
First, the SOL you received on Bags is, in essence, trading fees generated by a meme coin (a highly speculative token). The people who launched that coin have, from day one, tied your name and Liv's name to it. They need your visibility to keep traders coming in — that's how they keep profiting.
Second, this kind of binding is one-sided. The moment the price drops — and meme coins always drop eventually — the first person buyers will turn their anger toward is the kind face they were shown at the top. That has been the kind person, not the launchers. I've seen this story end the same way many times: it stops looking like charity and starts looking like harassment, impersonation, and noise. The fact that your Twitter has been hacked and used to post strange things lately is, sadly, already a sign of what's coming.
Third, starting your own foundation sounds beautiful, but in practice it means — legal entity registration, a board of directors, annual audits, tax filings, grant review committees, compliance disclosures, and a thousand small administrative fires every week. It will pull at you and your family 365 days a year, for years. And what you and your family need most right now is time — quiet, gentle time — to grieve Liv and heal as a family.
So with all my heart, I want to suggest this: donate the crypto directly, in one transaction, to @StJude.
- Liv's wish gets carried out exactly as she imagined it
- Every dollar is professionally managed and goes to kids fighting cancer
- You and your family stop being pulled into crypto projects you never asked to join
- The people trying to use Liv's name to make money lose every reason to circle around you
You and Liv have already given so much. Please let a professional, trusted institution carry the rest. Let Liv's light keep shining — but don't let it become another weight on your shoulders.
Wishing you and your family peace, slowly and steadily, for all the days ahead.
We love Liv. We love your kindness.
Here is more information about the donations. We Supported Liv & StJude ❤️

Thank you for meeting us in 2024 and completing this wonderful achievement together. I hope the @StJude Widget has now gained control, so we can be added to the donation list.
Thank you to @rebeccaperrotto and all the Asteroid community friends who helped with this. Liv hopes that Asteroid can bring help to St. Jude, and we have always supported Liv’s vision.
We hope children can live in a world without cancer. Asteroid love everyone ♥️
During Consensus, I was asked several times about the story of ethereum:0xf280b16ef293d8e534e370794ef26bf312694126 as far as we were aware. Many people were pleasantly surprised by how we managed to exit our position without damaging the community. This is the summary.
When we set up the process for accepting crypto donations at @stjude, we set the criteria that we would convert the assets donated as soon as reasonably possible. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is focused on leading the way that the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. While we (the crypto industry) may wish the world would leap forward and be more on-chain, that isn't how it currently exists and we need dollar denoted currencies to run the hospital.
Nearly 2 years ago, .5% of ASTEROID was sent to the St. Jude ETH wallet. We didn't have a way to readily convert it into US Dollars, so we left it in the wallet.
Due to external factors, the token went from a market cap of ~$20k to over $150M. Our position fluctuated between $500k and $1M in valuation. I had several messages asking if what we were going to do, and I responded to a few that we were figuring it out.
The next 48 hours were a whirlwind of approvals, but I knew two things. We would need to go to a DEX (a first for our mission) and that we would need to avoid hurting the community. Leadership understood and gave approval for the approach and we proceeded.
Some people may disagree with how we did it, but I believe it to be the best option out of the ones that we had. Over 2 days, we proceeded to exit the position in 12 varying sized tranches. During the entire process, we kept an eye on liquidity of the token and did our best to ensure it never dropped below $3.5M and that the Net Buy pressure didn't exceed $75k.
We exited the position with over 290 ETH valued at ~$676k. Thank you to the ethereum:0xf280b16ef293d8e534e370794ef26bf312694126 community that came together on this asset. These monies will go a long way in support of the life saving mission of St. Jude.
