Machi Big Brother launched the meme token TAIWAN on the Robinhood chain on September 1 and later spent about 16,700 USDC to buy roughly 27.56 million TAIWAN, implying a purchase market capitalization of about $600,000. Ember said he does not recommend participating in the project, pointing to Machi Big Brother’s past meme token launches. Ember cited the 2024 dog-themed token Bobaoppa, which reportedly raised about 220,000 SOL, injected about 60,000 SOL into the pool, retained the remainder for personal use, and imposed a transaction tax of about 8.75%. The token has since fallen to near zero.
