Omicron explodes the curves… on CoinMarketCap!

No no, we are not talking about the umpteenth variant of the nasty virus, but the Omicron token, a crypto based on Arbitrum. Speculators, who are still looking for strings to make money, bet on this currency until it took + 1000% in less than 2 days …

Before being a variant of COVID-19 discovered by BFMTV a few days ago (although it has been known for weeks and no more serious than the previous 12), Omicron (OMIC) is a cryptocurrency based on Arbritrum which is in fact the second layer of Ethereum supposed to decongest the blockchain.

Nothing very crazy or original. The token is not listed on Binance or Coinbase and was previously unknown to the site CoinMarketCap which lists more than 4660 cryptocurrencies … However, the unit price went from € 58 to € 608 from November 27 to 29.

An army of idiots

This is of course due to the smart guys who by buying massively have raised the price followed by thousands of idiots who have followed the movement. Of course, the price is very volatile at the moment and we do not recommend that you enter this little game. Instead, take a head start, because after the letter Omicron, there is Pi. We could bet on a rise in the price. PiCoin currently at 0.00625 €, but the site seems to have absent subscribers. Download the Greek alphabet and have fun!

More seriously, we must recognize that this story is not to restore the image of the cryptocurrency world, often criticized for its speculative side. As for the account, we cannot blame the boomers with their checkbook and their Saint-Gobain shares bought at 165 francs in 1971. For the anecdote, speculators can thank the WHO and his decision to name this variant Omicron and not Xi (the Greek letter just before) so as not to offend Xi Ji Ping. Yes, they denied it, but we know they are lackeys of the Middle Empire.

Covidian anecdote: we went from the Nu variant to the Omicron variant while between these two letters of the Greek alphabet, there is the letter Xi.

Why did you skip a letter? Because it reminded too much of Xi Jinping …
