Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, recently found himself on the wrong side of a $170,000 crypto mistake. Despite his success as an innovator, shrewd sports bettor, and businessman, the crypto landscape proved unforgiving. Portnoy's misstep involved investing in illiquid LIBRA tokens, which were not associated with the original meme coin linked to Argentinian President Javier Milei.
Portnoy's investment in SOL tokens, worth around $170,000, was made in these illiquid LIBRA tokens. This costly mistake left him with a significant financial loss. Upon realizing his error, Portnoy took to social media to share his experience, warning others about the volatility of meme coins and the importance of being cautious when investing in such assets.
According to market data, if Portnoy were to sell the LIBRA tokens at their current price, he would not be able to recoup his initial investment. The coin's price has fallen below $178, a significant drop from its previous high of $289. As a result, Portnoy must now hope for a bullish uptrend in the market to potentially sell his investment at a profit.
