  • This entire pump was because of a photo data Elon Musk posted on Twitter.
  • For context, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Starbase token. Starbase is where the SpaceX launch facility is located – it’s in Boca Chica Village in Cameron County, Texas.

  • In any case, the price of the token has retraced by more than 80% since today’s high, showing exactly how risky it can be to buy altcoins with questionable merit behind them.
