The old trick of crypto marketing is back again. A few days ago, a well-known crypto entrepreneur on X claimed that if he could have a one-on-one conversation with Tesla's CEO for an hour, he would be willing to pay $30 million for the opportunity. This amount is roughly 210 million RMB.

Honestly, this kind of stunt has long been nothing new in the Web3 circle—every so often, someone uses sky-high prices to create a buzz. Those follow-up projects have also learned this trick, engaging in all kinds of "scam" marketing tactics. The question is, how long can these flashy marketing methods last? What does everyone think—will this money finally be put to use?

Coming back with this again? A $30 million per hour sky-high conversation, basically just buying hype. The crypto community has really turned marketing into an art form; they always come up with new tricks to grab attention. Most of this money is probably just a waste, and it's unlikely they'll actually get in touch.

Haha, here we go again. Crypto people really know how to play, they've never stopped with fancy tactics to stir up trouble. Daring to shout 30 million, but the key is this money is probably doomed to be wasted. This move has been played out for ages; next time, it needs to be upgraded. To put it simply, it's just to attract attention; once the hype passes, nothing remains.

210 million to buy a bragging opportunity, this calculation just doesn't add up.

21 million for an hour, this guy must be really desperate. It's better to just directly dump and pump the market to be more straightforward.

210 million to chat for an hour? Bro, this isn't investing money, it's just causing a scene. It's the same old trick; the crypto world pulls this stunt every year, never any new ideas. Basically, it's just using hype to grab attention, and nine out of ten times, this money is just wasted. Does anyone still believe in this outrageous topic marketing? Web3 really needs to reflect on itself.

30 million USD? Haha, this guy probably considers marketing budget as ROI. I saw something crazier in 2017, and guess what? Now it's all in museums.
