In a harrowing turn of events, Solana developer and meme coin pioneer Mikol sustained third-degree burns during a live promotional event for his new cryptocurrency, “Truth or Dare” (DARE).
The incident occurred when Mikol, in an effort to create a viral moment, doused himself with isopropyl alcohol and ignited fireworks directed towards him by friends. Tragically, the stunt escalated quickly as he caught fire.
Things got worse when the use of water bottles to put out the fire did not work, and the group had to make a call to the emergency services. Mikol was taken to a trauma center where it was established that about thirty percent of his body had third-degree burns.
Medical Update and Recovery
As of the latest updates, Mikol is undergoing treatment at a hospital in Miami, where his condition remains stable but serious. The cryptocurrency community has expressed shock and concern, highlighting the lengths to which individuals might go to capture public attention in the highly competitive digital currency space.
This incident serves as a sober reminder of the risks involved in extreme marketing tactics. Safety and caution are urged in all public and private demonstrations. Mikol’s recovery is being closely monitored, and updates will follow as they become available.
