Title: CoinMarketCap Foolin' Around
Post by: 13abyknight on April 01, 2018, 10:06:22 AM
It is the 1st of April today and we're getting nothing less than the best dose of people/websites fooling around for the day. From theymos fooling around by adding a lot of new categories to individual profiles on the forum like Politeness (http://memeshappen.com/media/created/Really--meme-31817.jpg), Imagination (https://pics.me.me/imagination-15206918.png) and much more.

CoinMarketCap decided to pull their ace up from their sleeve today on an inauspicious day and delivered nothing less than a top quality meme by showing conversions in 'LAMBOS'  ;D
Did some basic calculations and found out that they priced 1 LAMBO at approximately $200k and all the conversions make the site look sick overall after clicking on the lambo.

EDIT : HERE (http://archive.fo/vEE6N) is an archive of the page so we can remember have a good laugh anytime later.

That orange lambo is sure to be excellent to obtain :D
I'm a fan of coinmarketcap I'm checking some altcoin over there to have a specific plan regarding what to do in my cryptocurrency alongside with the price of it but today is not the day.  ;D

It is the reasons I want to have my own domain and server to fool people by ingenious idea I have in mind on the 1st of April.

I've been visiting coinmarketcap a lot this day and I didn't get the chance to notice that orange lambo lol.
Well for me, it was very unrecognizable considering it was put at the time that all markets are going down. That red streak took all my focus.

I too unable to see the orange Lamborghini in the coinmarketcap now. LOL, it is funny to see this and whatever everyone expects the bitcoin price to bump bigger in the market for sure. Even ethereum is also in my view. I have mining ethereum for 3 months but I did not find the difficulty much than the last weeks.

Same like theymos implemented in this forum, we are seeing the something different in the coinmarketcap site as well. New ranks and coinmarketcap atrocities will be hidded tomorrow for sure.

Yup the LAMBO joke was hilarious and prefect one on the day of April. I literally thought that there is coin with the name LAMBO and started searching it with the search box. Soon I found out that there is no such coin or ICO which has published recently and it was nothing but joke by the coinmarketcap. Yes, CMC caught us right and we were so busy in thinking about the prices and all stuff that we just thought its a coin itself. Haha. Great one CMC, you really got us into the April fools list. Also it was really nice to see how perfectly they managed to do it and the prices were also real. So great work by them.  :D :D :D

That Lambo conversion. Ahaha. I did really expect that this was being part of the April fools day event just like on what theymos do made changes into this forum too. Calculation are having the conversion of $200k/Lambo.
For people who didnt remember this April event will definitely confused on whats going on with that Lambo icon thing on the site.

And everyone was starting to fool around since the start of April 1 and that LAMBO conversion thing was hilarious. lol
I'm sure everyone do get the message by clicking that LAMBO conversion and that's the funniest part watching all of your holdings would be equivalent to a LAMBO currency.  :D

Lol, good joke. When I saw screenshot of Coinmarketcap website on Facebook, I thought it's just photoshop, but when I visited their website I realised that's serious thing :D
Well, some people in crypto world like theymos or Gliss have great sense of humour.
P.S. Which one model of Lamborghini exactly there was? :D

If i'm not mistaken that Lambo in the coinmarketcap page looks similar to a lamborghini gallardo and the price is accurate. This year's April fools was a good one can't wait for next year  :D

I too didn't notice the lambo if it weren't for this thread. I always scroll down to see how other coins are doing despite the dip of bitcoin.

Brilliant trolling. I think some humour also helps to relieve stress to those being overstressed with current market situation.

Yes ive seen this lambo thing and thought of it as a bug from the site then i refresh the site after a few seconds and still the same. So i give up and decided to make a good use of my time doing some signature campaign work since the btc price was in lambo conversion. But that prank helped relieve stress from the market and the price surprisingly went up to 7000 usd.
