Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub. Discover SCENECrypto was dumb in 2024—like, really dumb. This year’s meme coin supercycle spawned the most bizarre characters the industry has ever seen, which is saying a lot, and conferences had us cringing weekly, all while politicians begged on their knees for the crypto vote (or at least its money).And with this, we’ve enjoyed some of the dumbest moments ever inscribed on the perfectly distributed, immutable, uncensorable Blockchain of Life. From a meme coin developer setting himself on fire to promote his meme coin (#6, below) to FARTCOIN itself piercing a billion-dollar market cap (a late breaker that we didn't even count, but Stephen Colbert did), this year was truly something all of us can be proud of. These are the moments that define us, and which we can retell endlessly to our children, and our children's children, all of whom will doubtless be basking in the generational wealth we created in 2024, and beyond.To commemorate crypto's awesomely idiotic year that was, we’ve randomly gathered an unranked list of 69 of the Dumbest Moments of the Year.1.

Discover SCENEA nutritional supplements company allegedly paid a group of online trolls to impersonate celebrities, fool its investors, and pump its token. And the scheme worked—for a while. Then it all unraveled.Insane Labz, an Arkansas-based supplements company known throughout the MMA and Barstool Sports world—and a former client of Gary Vaynerchuck’s mentorship program, launched its LABZ token in May. On its roadmap, the project promised to collaborate with “vetted celebrities.” Instead, it encouraged trolls to impersonate celebrities—like UFC President Dana White, MMA legend Nate Diaz, and social media sensation Hasbulla—and hype up the LABZ token in the company’s Telegram group.The scheme helped pump the LABZ token from a $3 million market cap to $15 million at its peak. The coin is now nearly worthless, collapsing by more than 90%
