I've always loved this prank, so I'm self-indulgently tooting my own horn here (a trick I learned from the great John McAfee)

CW false victory in court and thus his recognition as Satoshi Nakamoto

Trust wallet also posted a tweet that they are going to support the Toilet Paper Token and that they'll distributing the TPT tokens during the scheduled Airplop as a prank.

While everyone were playing April Fool Pranks, Yobit saw this as an opportunity to scam and created a shitcoin in name of TPT and listed it to their exchange with a trading volume of over 800 BTC. Discussion regarding this is ongoing on here

Also this one is my favorite prank.

Also this one that says Craig Wright already won the case on Kleiman Case after signing with one of the wallets associated by Satoshi.

Craig wrights now proven his identity as Satoshi

Im thinking if thats so easy then this will not be an April Fools day gag story. Thumbs up to writers of this compiling it like a real story.

Coindesk had a worthy April 1st news too. The title is already pretty cool.

Edit: I've just noticed another April 1st prank in another thread. It tells that CSW proved himself as Satoshi (lol!). I'll just paste it here, it's not my merit.

There are a lot of crypto communities who had prank during this April fool's Day.

We know that recently Porn hub accepts Bitcoin as a form of payment and now they had prank of having launched their own token called "$PORN" token.

I'm pretty sure those experienced home quarantine and get bored, this site is the best place for them to watch.

I had a bad feeling that the guy with pneumonia will not make it and after the resolution of this epidemics, his symptoms (post) will remain like that. It is hard to cure such situation without sequelae
BTW nice, i wasn't aware CMC is fooling people too! It is unfortunate that TPT is out of stock but looks at the GRAPH lol

Hello, since i have a lot of time due to quarantine, i want to create a thread, where year by year I'd collect fun pranks in crypto. Not only on our forum, but more wide, in most services which belongs to crypto industry.

So, let's start! This will be about 2020

1. Bitcointalk.org

Bitcointalks was also affected by virus this year  



Many user was affected by virus, but with different symptoms. From easy, like text sneezing, to hard, like text unreadable pneumonia



hard case :



Even moderators, were affected despite survival masks which they received from Theymos (thermos were infected too!)  



2. Coinmarketcap

Because all this situation with coronavirus, many things like stocks or oil experienced a hard market fall (even gold) (EVEN BITCOIN!!1). Except only one important resource, which i would personally call one of the pillar of civilization, a TOILET PAPER. And Coinmarketcap created a crypto which supported by Toilet paper standard (which is more ancient even than gold standard) - Toilet Paper Token based on proof-of-wipe chain (but beware, you should go through Know-Your-Colon (KYC) process before buying it on your buks!)

Lol, it's already on Yobit  



You can read about this magnificent startup (which is more valuable than most startups) here - https://blog.coinmarketcap.com/2020/04/01/toilet-paper-token-wipe-paper/ (or archived her)

Afterwards:
I checked many sites belongs to crypto, and sometimes i do not even know is it april's joke or not



However, i really liked that three main services is still keep joking year by year, despite all this pandemia stuff. Yeah, there is not good times, but without jokes and chilling it can be much worse for people. Thx to all, i'll go and buy some toilet paper  

After Afterwards:
Maybe i missed something, you're free to add here any april fools stuff from crypto (and not only   )
