The story of a crypto influencer’s attempt to bend reality

In one of the weirder moments of my writing career, Carl “The Moon” Runefelt contacted me out of the blue seeking an “update to old information” in a May 2022 article. The article had touched on his involvement with the crypto payment platform Kasta, but Runefelt felt a pressing need a year later to get the copy changed to highlight the fact he was “not the co-founder of Kasta, only [an] investor.”

An unusual request after so long — especially considering he had already made extensive comments after reading a prepublication draft of the original article. He’d argued at one point that a mention in that article of “haters” who accused him of editing YouTube video titles in order to make past predictions appear accurate was “clearly unprofessional.” He suggested it was analogous to an article about SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s rockets including comments from flat-earthers.

The price of KASTA fell about 98% between its January 2022 launch and September 2023. Source: CoinMarketCap
