The creator of the Solana meme coin DARE set himself on fire as a stunt to promote his project but ended up hospitalized with third-degree burns. Now, after months of healing, he has decided to quit the project. Only two team members remain in contact with him, while the rest left after taking their money. The creator regrets not cashing out when the coin was performing well and only received $3,000 in donations from the community to pay hospital bills. The project's value spiked during his hospitalization but ultimately fizzled out. Despite the hardship, the creator believes the project could work in the future but is not committing to it at the moment. He plans to focus on growing his social media presence without resorting to painful stunts. The incident highlights the trend of meme coin developers livestreaming controversial actions in order to pump their tokens.
