How far would you go to pump your meme -mint?

A live streaming Solana Meme Coin Developer has broken speed limits and drove around the clock for pieces in sometimes bad weather, all in an attempt to break the world record speed for the travel of all 50 US states.

Leland King Fawcette left on 11 June in his Hyundai Kona from White River Junction, Vermont. He must end in Honolulu on June 19 at 7:33 PM Edt to beat the record.

At the time of writing, Fawcette had completed 47 of the 50 states in about seven days and said he was on his way to break the record – but there were still great distances to cover.

“The problem is: these are the great Western states. These are the ones you drive through it for six hours and don’t touch it,” said the streamer Decrypt. ‘[They] are larger than most countries. Have to drive over them and through them will be spirit -killing. “

The All Fifty States Club is a challenge created in 1998 by Barry Stiefel, who ended his journey through the current record of eight days and seven hours.

Fawcette unveiled the Solana Meme Coin 50states on 11 June, the first day of his Odyssey, while he was on his way to break the record of Stiefel. Tied up with a camera on his vehicle, he started the journey on pump live stream.

The event is one of the long row of streams born on Pump.Fun, who has taken over as a favorite platform for meme coin makers and others who previously had to use third -party sites.

Fawcette believes that he will prevail over the ancestor of the fastest to fifty because of the invention of satellite navigation and a more efficient route.

“I also wanted to do this to awaken Barry [Stiefel]Because I could not believe that he could circumvent only throughout America in eight days and seven hours, “said Fawcette.” It is as if I have to see if it is actually possible. If we can’t even get any time of seven hours with modern technology, I will call [Stiefel’s record] In doubt. “

Three men completed the challenge in five days and 13 hours in May 2022, according to the All Fifty States Club site, where the trip on YouTube was documented. The drivers rotated in eight -hour shifts.

50states peaked on a market capitalization on Saturday only $ 1 million, but have since plumbled into a current cap of around $ 180,000. A viewer told Decrypt That “many people are suspicious” that someone suppresses the price, but they also explained that they will be sure that it will recover.

“I think he is trying to do something real, but the community is sometimes pessimistic,” viewer and trader Leonardo Sant told Decrypt. “He will break the record, that’s for sure.”

Users on the forecast market are countless of the opinion that Fawcette will set the solo record, in a chance of almost 61% on success from this letter. (Disclosure: Myriad Markets is a product of DecryptThe parent company, Dastan.)

How did we get here?

Live streaming events to support Meme Coins dates more than a year.

In May 2024 a child begged and his apparent mother viewers on their live stream to invest in their meme -mint. The couple promised to perform lurid stunts on the camera when token achieved certain milestones of market capitalization, including casting milk over the breasts of the mother. The event went viral.

After this event, Fawcette introduced several separate live streaming, ie Imlivekick, all of whom fell to zero in no time. At the time, the streamer blamed the failure of his projects to sniper bots that buy the token stock when it debuted and his viewers “pulled”. To combat this, he tried to take revenge on snipers by deliberately pulling his own projects immediately after the launch, while he did not tell his viewers.

Other developers have also used pump. Fun to promote coins with stunt theme tied to live streams, including a coin creator who set himself on fire, which resulted in third -degree burns about 30% of his body. Live streaming is now a native function on the site, making a new wave of controversial viral flows possible.
