More likely that the WorldCoin project is doing poorly. With crypto and NFTs going down it could be a house of cards. And in a need of an urgent injection of money.
despite being invented for non-scam purposes, it turns out to be a productivity multipler for scammers more than anyone else.
and also Bitcoin might be the exception that proves the rule - every other chain or token is managed by a few insiders taking get-rich-quick marks for a ride.
I think it'd be really funny if Bitcoin was originally supposed to also be a rug pull but Satoshi died suddenly or something, and so Bitcoin was just the scam that never managed to complete itself or something.
