Olympic Champion Also Trading Meme Coins? Genuine Involvement or Just a Marketing Stunt?
I've earned 100 times more money on WIF than from winning a gold medal.

The overseas cryptocurrency community is wildly speculating about the identity of a so-called "stealth Olympic champion."
The incident began when X user Pol.wifhat (@0xPol—currently this account is inaccessible) posted an image today showing himself holding a Paris Olympic gold medal against a backdrop of Lamborghinis, along with the caption: "The money I made from buying WIF with just a few clicks is 100 times more than what I earned from winning an Olympic gold medal."
"Olympic champion" and "meme coin warrior"—two seemingly unrelated labels—are now fused together, instantly igniting excitement across the crypto community. By around 2:30 PM, Pol.wifhat’s post had already garnered 240,000 views, with over a hundred users replying and trying to guess the identity of this unnamed "stealth Olympic champion."
Looking back at Pol.wifhat’s previous activity, since 2021 the account has frequently posted content related to cryptocurrencies, focusing on topics typical of average crypto enthusiasts—celebrating milestones such as the official approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs. Starting this year, however, the account shifted heavily toward promoting meme coins like WIF, indicating a clear pivot in focus.
On August 3, events began taking an unexpected turn.
That day, Pol.wifhat first shared a photo of the gold medal, posting: "I went offline for just a few days and you bastards crashed BTC this hard."
Then on August 7, he posted again: "I temporarily stepped away from X during the Olympic competitions and accidentally avoided this market crash. A week later, when I came back online, I found prices had almost returned to where they were when I left. I didn’t even realize there had been a market crash. Seems like going after an Olympic gold helps avoid panic-selling before a bull run."
The rest is what led to today’s viral post in Chinese.
After the latest update, numerous X users flooded Pol.wifhat’s comment section—some directly asking about his identity, others speculating he might be Australian swimmer Cameron McEvoy (gold medalist in the 50-meter freestyle at this year’s Olympics, winning on August 3). However, none of these questions or guesses have received confirmation or response.
Meanwhile, some suspect this could be a carefully orchestrated marketing stunt by the WIF community—after all, which Olympic champion has enough free time to trade crypto every day?
These questions remain unanswered. Just before this article was finalized, Pol.wifhat’s X account became inaccessible for unknown reasons, with searches returning the message: "This account does not exist."
