It disclosed his interest in purchasing Iggy Azalea-linked MOTHER, Mog Coin (MOG), Smoking Chicken Fish (SCF) and Ponke (PONKE).

Smoking Chicken Fish (SCF), the smallest of these coins, reacted with a whopping 51% green candle jumping from $0.04 to over $0.06 in no time. <img alt="SCF token rocketing " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6b4a7576-baec-42a1-adaf-a82c376bb592" src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/52373_2.png">Image by <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/smoking-chicken-fish" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinGecko</a>
