<p dir="ltr">Over the weekend, decentralization suffered a major blow as the highly acclaimed social media Friend Tech hit the rocks. With the developers renouncing the smart contract to Web3 media, its ecosystem was plunged into turmoil, leaving investors with heavy losses. One of the biggest identified losers is Machi Big Brother, a top project proponent.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://x.com/lookonchain/status/1832985691640209764" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">According</a> to data from the crypto analytics platform Lookonchain, popular investor Machi Big Brother invested roughly 5.2 Ethereum, worth $16.7 million, into the Friend Tech project.

Investment in crypto projects remains highly susceptible to losses and, thus, requires smart risk management measures. While it was not a meme coin, FRIEND has plunged by more than 50% in 24 hours to $0.06305.</p>
