A Certain Creator's Name Is Now on Coinbase. He Did Not Put It There.

There are moments when the internet's hunger for a particular name exceeds the name's ability to satisfy it. Someone, in those moments, fills the gap. A token has appeared on Coinbase's live charts under the ticker BEAST. It carries a price. It carries a marketcap. It carries, notably, the name of the most subscribed individual on YouTube, rendered in clean financial typeface as though it belongs there.

This publication is not asserting that the creator in question authorized, endorsed, or is in any way connected to this instrument. That would require evidence this correspondent does not possess. What this publication can confirm, from documents reviewed directly, is that a page exists, that charts are live, and that a man who already has a lawsuit, a bestselling thriller, a multi-year Google deal, and a candy company bearing his identity now also has, apparently, a coin. Whether he knows about it is a different article entirely.
