Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, has been actively trading Solana meme coins and recently doxxed his wallet, claiming he is not trying to be shady. He reported making approximately $68,000 in profit from buying and selling MONTOYA tokens, a coin inspired by a popular Spanish reality TV phrase, which quickly increased its market cap after his involvement. Portnoy’s trades included nearly 118 SOL worth about $24,000 in one instance. He expressed surprise at his influence, noting that a tweet propelled the token's market cap from $2 million to $10 million almost instantaneously. Following this activity, fellow Solana users began sending various meme coins to his wallet, often referencing his pets or Barstool Sports. This isn't Portnoy's first experience with crypto; he previously held Bitcoin but sold it shortly after purchasing. He has also hinted at possibly launching his own token in the future.
