Hailey Welch, the American girl protagonist of the viral TikTok meme “Hawk Tuah”, is launching her own memecoin on the Solana blockchain.
After unexpectedly changing life thanks to the fame gained on the internet, now he is trying to dive into the crypto world with his own personal project.
Attention, however, because most likely the token you launched will only be yet another degen opportunity with which it will be easy to lose money.
All the details below.
Hailey Welch, the girl “Hawk Tuah”, presents her own memecoin
Hailey Welch, ragazza del Tennessee diventata improvvisamente famosa grazie alla clip volgare “Hawk Tuah”, is launching her own memecoin.
The new internet celebrity is at the peak of their success 5 months after the casual appearance in the YT video by Tim Dickerson and DeArius Marlow, known as Tim & Dee TV.
For those who don’t know, in the video, Hailey was asked to say “a move in bed that would drive a man crazy” and she responded with the now-famous expression “Hawk Tuah”.
Soon after, the girl became mainstream and the short video was republished virally on TikTok by many channels, garnering worldwide media attention.
On one hand, the video sparked controversy due to the explicitly sexual phrase, on the other hand, it attracted strong participation from the male gender.
The result is that Hailey has become the “queen of memes” and has accumulated over 2.5 million followers on Instagram.
Here is the full video “Hawk Tuah” (minute 09:55):
What to do to take advantage of online notoriety? Obviously, launch a memecoin, taking advantage in part of the positive moment of Bitcoin and the crypto market.
In a post on X and during an episode of her podcast Talk Tuah with the billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban, Hailey Welch announced the memecoin $HAWK.
The new coin will be based on the blockchain of Solana and will be distributed to its followers through an allow list campaign.
In the meantime, welch has also formed a partnership with Web3 Launchpad and the overHere platform to support the launch of $HAWK.
Stating that he knows many of his fans will be new to cryptocurrencies, Welch wants to make the onboarding process as simple as possible.
The official launch is scheduled for December 4th.
Fame and money thanks to the viral video “Hawk Tuah”
Sometimes a simple video can change your life: that’s what happened to Hailey Welch after uttering the vulgar expression “Hawk Tuah.”
At the beginning, the girl had not the slightest idea of what was happening.
During an interview on the program “Bobby Bones Show” she herself stated that she did not intend to ride the media wave of the viral video.
Immediately after the publication of the Tim & Dee TV clip, he had asked the couple to delete the video or to cut his part.
Initially, in his plans, there was simply the intention to continue with his normal daily routine, until the online attention reached extreme levels.
At a certain point, he decided to take advantage of this unrepeatable opportunity, dedicating his time to working on his personal brand and monetizing the views of the video.
Shortly after achieving fame, Hailey launched her podcast ‘Talk Tuah’, fourth place in the U.S. Spotify chart at the end of September.
“Hawk Tuah” has even attracted the attention of the meme chief Elon Musk who is said to have sent her some personal messages on X.
In total, according to what is stated by CelebrityNetWorth, her net worth is around 200,000 dollars.
Now, however, with the launch of a new memecoin, it could earn much more money than it has in 5 months in a short time.
Obviously, we expect that the girl will have a substantial share of the supply of the new token $HAWK and that she will decide to sell as soon as she has reached her goal.
Beware of memecoins launched by famous personalities: traps for chickens
Although the world of memecoins can offer speculative opportunities that are “life-changing”, the case of the meme coin “Hawk Tuah” does not seem so promising.
In this particular area of the crypto world, a distinction must be made between memecoins launched by a community and those launched by famous personalities.
Tokens like SHIB; DOGE, PNUT, PEPE and other resources that belong solely to the community and do not have a founder have appreciated significantly over time.
Instead, coins launched by cinema, sports, TV, and internet celebrities have almost always ended up losing the majority of their initial value.
It is now known that when a star launches a memecoin, it is best to immediately distance oneself from it. The same celebrities often have no idea what cryptocurrencies are, but they rely on external agencies that manage the public sale.
Even in the case of the girl “Hawk Tuah” we strongly believe that this will be yet another case of legalized fraud promoted on X at the expense of newcomers.
Hailey will try solely and exclusively to extort money from the same followers who made her famous. Most likely, when $HAWK dumps badly, Hailey will delete the posts in which she promised the memecoin to the public.
Don’t be fooled by these bull traps: in the past, the exact same thing happened over and over again.
An example of this are the memecoins launched by Caitlyn Jenner, Iggy Azalea, Paris Hilton, Mr Thank You, Andrew Tate, Jake Paul and Lil Yachty.
No matter how much you idolize your favorite star, if they are launching a memecoin, they will be ready to trick you by playing on your emotions.
