Can you imagine a world where every action you take is controlled by an organization using brain-control weapons? It sounds like a science fiction story, but for Hu Lezhi, a programmer, it is a terrifying reality he is trying to escape. Refusing to stay silent, he took an extreme step to make his situation known.
Lezhi burned and donated at least $7 million worth of Ethereum to draw attention to what he claims is a new crime – brain control. His unusual protest also highlighted how token burning can be used as a form of resistance. Let’s take a closer look at this strange but fascinating event.
Calling himself an “ordinary programmer and entrepreneur,” Hu Lezhi recently carried out multiple transactions to protest against a brain-control organization.
As part of this protest, he transferred at least 603 ETH, worth approximately $1.65 million, to a burn address. A burn address is a special blockchain address where cryptocurrency is permanently removed from circulation and can never be recovered or used.
Lezhi didn’t stop at burning ETH; he also made several large donations. One of the biggest recipients was Wikileaks. The programmer donated around 700 ETH, valued at about $2 million, to the whistleblower organization.
While his transactions caught the crypto community’s attention, the messages attached to them were even more alarming.
In one message, Lezhi claimed that he had been monitored and manipulated by a brain-control organization since birth. He said that after he realized what was happening, the organization increased its control over him, pushing him to the point where he had completely lost his dignity as a human being.
In another message, Lezhi directly accused the Chinese hedge fund WizardQuant of using brain-control weapons to manipulate its employees.
At this point, there is no clear evidence linking Lezhi to WizardQuant, and it remains uncertain whether his claims have any factual basis. The hedge fund has not yet responded to the serious allegations.
While many in the crypto space are skeptical, one thing is certain – Hu Lezhi has managed to draw global attention to his claims, whether people believe them or not.
In an industry full of surprises, this may be one of the strangest—and most expensive—forms of protest ever seen.
