Programmer hulezhi destroys 5.5 million dollars worth of Ethereum just to expose "tech tyranny."
Spent 5.55 million dollars just to tell one's story on the chain. So far, it has become art.Author: Wenser, Odaily Planet Daily
Beyond AI, brain-machine interfaces are also seen as a "high-potential industry of the future." Musk's Neuralink has brought new hope to many blind and disabled patients.
However, today, a programmer named "hulezhi" has sparked widespread discussion as a "brain-machine slave"—he sent 500 ETH to a black hole address to make a statement on-chain, reminiscent of a "human hero exposing the true face of the Terminator." Odaily Planet Daily will briefly introduce this dramatic event and the corresponding tokens in this article.
I, hulezhi, a victim of brain-machine weapons
According to monitoring by lmk.fun, a certain wallet transferred 500 ETH (approximately 1.38 million USD) to a black hole address for destruction and left a message in Chinese, which involved a certain investment company boss using brain-machine weapons to persecute employees.
Additionally, this address made three donations today to the WikiLeaks (Note from Odaily Planet Daily: WikiLeaks is a non-profit internet media organization created by Assange that operates without borders, making organizations, companies, and governments operate in the sunlight by publicly releasing confidential documents and other media materials provided by anonymous sources and insiders) address (591.6 ETH, 50 ETH, and 35 ETH); donated 700 ETH (approximately 1.87 million USD) to the Endaoment address; and donated 133 ETH (approximately 354,000 USD) to the Ethereum Foundation address.
IDM message content
This is precisely the crypto protagonist that has drawn countless on-chain spectators today—reportedly, he is a programmer and entrepreneur named Hu Lezhi (hulezhi).
It is worth mentioning that this is not his first on-chain post.
On February 10 of this year, this address posted: "A new criminal model has emerged that enslaves victims, gradually depriving them of their sensory desires until they completely become slaves of digital machines. If one day I become a victim in the final stage, I will choose to leave this world."
On February 15, this address posted again: "With the continuous development of brain-machine interfaces and mind-reading technology, a new crime model has emerged: wild animals have become puppets or complete slaves of digital machines."
Today's post ultimately revealed the original intention of this address: to accuse a certain investment company boss of using brain-machine weapons to persecute employees, but they themselves are also victims.
Speculation from the outside: Is it a crazy act by E-Guardians, or a true victim of brain-machine interfaces?
According to information from Etherscan, this address has frequently received small transfers from different addresses along with on-chain messages, with countless people hoping to contact hulezhi in hopes of receiving some ETH in return or as a donation.
Meanwhile, the transfer actions of this address have also sparked speculation from overseas bloggers.
According to crypto KOL and Cluster founder Foobar, he first posted on platform X: "The ETH/BTC exchange rate rose 4% today, which means some new disasters will occur in the next 24 hours." He later added in the comments: "Ethereum holders are so shocked by price fluctuations that they are sending millions of dollars to zero addresses for destruction. Violently cracking ultrasonic currency (Note from Odaily Planet Daily: referring to ETH, which has always claimed to be an ultrasonic currency)."

The hotspot remains unchanged, Meme coins lead the way: hulezhi CA has been released
As hulezhi's "brain-machine slave declaration" of destroying 500 ETH gradually spreads, on-chain Meme coins have also emerged.
Solana ecosystem: hulezhi, market cap temporarily reported at 1.2 million USD
The Solana ecosystem, as the main battlefield for Meme coins, reacted first, with someone directly issuing a Meme coin of the same name—hulezhi on pump.fun. According to GMGN data, the peak price once broke 0.002 USD, and the market cap once exceeded 2 million USD, but it has now significantly retreated, temporarily reported at 1.2 million USD.

- Token price: 0.0012 USD;
- Token market cap: 1.2 million USD.
ETH ecosystem: HULEZHI, market cap temporarily reported at 4.3 million USD
As the ETH ecosystem where hulezhi posted on-chain messages, the Meme coin of the same name, HULEZHI, also reacted quickly, currently temporarily reported at a market cap of 4.3 million USD, with a price of 0.043 USD, having previously exceeded 5 million USD in market cap.

- Token price: 0.043 USD;
- Token market cap: 4.3 million USD.
Conclusion: A piece of on-chain performance art valued at 2010 ETH, approximately 5.55 million USD
According to Hu Lezhi's own account: "Since October 2022, I realized that I have been monitored and manipulated by a brain control organization since birth. And when I became aware of the existence of the brain control organization, they intensified their harm against me. I have lived in great pain for the past two years, and I have now reached the point where my dignity as a human being has completely disappeared. I have decided to leave this world and hope that this ugly world will be destroyed soon."
Some speculate that this act may be a silent cry and a resolute resistance against brain-machine interfaces, albeit conducted in an extremely radical and incomprehensible manner.
However, the price of this on-chain performance art happens to be 2001 ETH (5.55 million USD).
