The cryptocurrency market is known for its volatility and unpredictability, and one aspect of this is the emergence of “shitcoins” – digital tokens with little to no real-world value.

I honestly think it’s really dumb to send him tokens that he didn’t ask for. If $CULT picks up speed he could very well dump the rest of it.
