Ah, influencers. In the digital age, theyâre like modern-day Spidermansâexcept instead of fighting crime, theyâre fighting algorithms for likes. And letâs not forget that whole âwith great power comes great responsibilityâ thing. Spoiler alert: not everyone got that memo. đŹ
Enter Pushpendra Singh, Indiaâs self-proclaimed crypto oracle with 435K followers, dropping a headline so wild it sounds like a rejected Fast & Furious plot. He tweeted a picture of a so-called BBC article claiming, âNorth Korea says it will buy $10 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Fk all the bears.â Um, okay? This tweet went viral with 52K views, 174 comments, 221 retweets, and 1.3K likes. The internet truly is undefeated. đ€Šââïž
Now, hereâs the kickerâthat blockbuster headline? Itâs faker than a Hollywood marriage. đ» That screenshot he shared? Totally doctored. Like, who knew Photoshopping and panic-inducing headlines went hand-in-hand? Apparently, this guy. BBC News? Silent. Google searches? Nada. Other crypto outlets? Crickets.
To those unfamiliar, Pushpendra is co-founder of SmartViewAI and PushpendraTech, known for dishing out crypto scoops that make traders either jump for joy or cry into their keyboards. Naturally, people bought into this latest âstory.â I mean, if North Korea is throwing billions at Bitcoin, why shouldnât you? Spoiler alert: Because itâs all made up. đ
Bullish news đ„đ„đ„

If youâre wondering, âWhy didnât the BBC call this guy out?â Well, probably because they didnât even know this existed. Look closer at that screenshot he posted. Yep, total fake vibes, plastered with BBCâs logo and some sensationalist fantasy talk.

As of this moment, thereâs zero evidence that Kim Jong Un is gearing up to HODL $10 billion worth of crypto. This is less âbreaking newsâ and more âbreaking the internet with BS.â đ©đ© to Pushpendra for reminding us all how easily misinformation spreads in the crypto world. Also, just to clarify, spreading fake news? Not a good look.
So, friends, next time you see a story like this, do what smart people do. Fact-check. Verify. Maybe, just maybe, take a deep breath before you bet your life savings onâoh, I donât knowâNorth Koreaâs fictional Bitcoin buying spree. Because letâs face it, there are easier ways to get burned than fake tweets. đ€đ„
