A teenage Minecraft YouTuber raised $1,234,567 for a meme prediction market called Giggles. It broke me.
I cannot say with 100% certainty that nineteen-year-old Justin Jin is not pulling an elaborate prank on me. In my defense, Jin’s company Giggles – which he describes as “putting a trading app and TikTok together” – started as a joke. “This was around 2023, when TikTok was rumored to get banned and whatnot, and people were trying to find a new social media platform,” Jin told TechCrunch. “So I started this meme about an app called Giggles, and it wasn’t real at the time, but it went viral on TikTok.”المصدر: TechCrunch | Source: TechCrunch
