What in the good goddamn does that headline mean. I'm not old enough to be this baffled.
Solana (a company that created a crypto coin) created a $700 smartphone dedicated to crypto and other shitcoins. It was a massive failure. Nobody bought it. Until they created a new coin from thin air, and gave that for free to phone owners. Suddenly everyone wanted to buy the phone as you could get $900 by getting buying the phone, getting the free coins, immediately sell them, throw the phone.

Who the fuck is buying these? Who is the counterparty to this idiocy?
However is still falling for the ponzi schemes and phone scammers, basically gullible and naive people.
