[SATIRE] After Worldcoin launch - Eye patches up 900%

Today Worldcoin successfully launched - The project that was created by Sam Altman Fried aims to scan the eyes of all people on earth in exchange of a few worthless crypto tokens.

Many people have have justified criticism for this project, having concerns about privacy and data abuse. When asked what they would do if people wouldn't want their eyes scanned, co-founder Alex Blania replied:

​

you will need to [...], whether you like it or not

But Worldcoin creators underestimated the outrage and resistance. While Worldcoin is only up a little over 50% right now, eye patches skyrocketed 900% in the last 24 hours:

Also up this morning are sunglasses (+350%), motorcycle helmets (+200%) and watermelons (+169%).

While I don't think these assets are good investments long term, I would advice anyone to get at least some minimal protection for yourself. This project is nothing you can simply close your eyes to.
