Nik Pash’s AI agent Lobstar Wilde — built to turn $50,000 in SOL into $1M — sent roughly 52.4 million LOBSTAR (≈$441,788) to an X user who asked for 4 SOL. Blockchain data shows the recipient sold part of the tokens for about $40,000. Observers say a decimal/interface error likely caused the oversized transfer. The agent later dismissed the mistake; the piece notes prior AI-agent crypto losses and predictions that AI agents will transact in crypto.
AI Analysis
The agent transferred ≈52.4M LOBSTAR (~$441,788) when asked for 4 SOL and the recipient sold part for ≈$40,000 (both shown on-chain); observers attribute the error to a decimal/interface mistake. A large accidental transfer plus on-chain selling is likely to exert near-term downward pressure on the token, but the event is limited to an altcoin and a single incident.
Expected Investor Sentiment: Neutral
