OnlyFans skateboarder Shaun Rodriguez recently opened up about his experience with investing in meme coins — and the costly lesson he learned along the way.
Rodriguez admitted to losing a gnarly amount — around $20,000 on a risky bet with meme coins, a trend he got caught up in while recovering from a six-month injury.
After the injury kept him off his skateboard for a while, he found himself at home with some extra time on his hands, and that’s when he decided to explore the world of crypto.
With the mentality of trying to win big on Bitcoin, Rodriguez quickly realized that the market was full of scams, pump-and-dump schemes, and shady influencers who weren't always upfront. “There’s too many scams,” he said, reflecting on the lessons learned.
Though he was initially excited about the possibility of striking it rich, the reality of losing money hit hard.
The porn star skater now emphasizes the importance of not getting addicted to the highs and lows of investing, especially in something so volatile.
But despite the setback, he’s back at it — focused on what really matters to him: skateboarding.
With his injury behind him, Rodriguez is now back to filming for his YouTube channel, resuming his popular "Road to Pro" series.
This time around, he’s getting a helping hand from skater rapper Lamont Holt, who’s supporting him on the next chapter of his pro level career.
Rodriguez’s focus is back on the grind, and fans can look forward to seeing more of his skateboarding progress as he picks up where he left off.
He’s learned some tough lessons along the way, but now it’s all about moving forward and getting back on the board.
