The $GREED experiment, created by Voshy, has taken the crypto community by storm, as it masterfully trolled a considerable number of people. The experiment was designed as a token-claiming event, with a unique twist. Users were to claim $GREED tokens and keep them frozen for 24 hours before they could be sold or transferred. The catch? Some users ended up getting more than they bargained for, while others fell victim to the excitement and frenzy surrounding the event. Let's explore the ins and outs of this epic trolling event.
The Experiment's Set-Up
The mastermind behind the $GREED experiment, Voshy, announced the event through a series of tweets, detailing the process for users to claim the tokens. Two developers, @macols77 and Prasko, played an instrumental role in making the experiment possible. Voshy praised their dedication and hard work in the days leading up to the event.

A thread 🧵👇
Participants were instructed to log in to the event website using their Twitter accounts, connect their Solana wallets, and claim their $GREED tokens. Tokens would remain frozen for a 24-hour period, during which time users had to keep their Twitter accounts connected.
The Unexpected Outcome
As the experiment unfolded, things took a surprising turn. The act of connecting to the event website forced users to tweet about the event, revealing their participation and spreading the word about the $GREED experiment. In a remarkable twist, Slope Finance, an account that hadn't tweeted since August 16, 2022, was among the accounts that were "trolled" into tweeting about the event.
Greed consumed me.

I connected my wallet to a random site, signed a blind tx, handed over write perms for my Twitter.

Thank you @voshy for the wakeup call.
I will keep this on my timeline and own it.
