What Happened: Pentoshi told his 635,000 followers on Twitter that “shitcoins are doing better” than Snap.
According to Benzinga Pro, Snap's stock plunged 90% from its record-high close in September 2021. However, shitcoins like Tamadoge (CRYPTO:TAMA) rose 22.7% since Oct. 2021, when it was launched. Dogelon Marks (CRYPTO: ELON) increased by 244.571%, since Sep. 2021.
