    Reddit introduced a crypto as a way to monetize Reddit gold so users would get paid for posting. They abruptly cancelled the program after people had already bought into it but it looks like some insiders at Reddit got the news first- they sold their shares before they announced the cancellation. Basically Reddit committed investment fraud.

      I’m not sure this is correct.

      The community tokens crypto has been around since 2020. I think that’s separate from the new gold monetization scheme.
