"Near Protocol Manager's Nude Photo Gaffe Coincides with Token Price Surge"

A former business development manager for layer-1 blockchain platform Near Protocol accidentally exposed nude images during a public livestream, coinciding with a price increase for the platform's native token, NEAR. Andrew Krynin, the ex-manager, was on a livestream with Near core contributor Cameron Dennis when the images appeared on his screen, revealing files saved on his laptop.

Krynin's reaction was swift and apologetic. "The only thing that I wanted to say next was, uh… God damn it," he said, before abruptly ending the screensharing session. The incident, which occurred on Valentine's Day Eve, quickly gained attention on social media platforms.

Near Protocol responded to the incident by advising users to maintain separate devices for personal and professional use, and to secure their private keys and other sensitive information. The platform also issued a formal apology, stating that it takes full responsibility for the incident and that the video has been removed from its platform.

Krynin, in turn, responded to the incident with two social media posts. In the first, he shared his wallet address and asked for donations, stating that he needed a "big-ass Valentine’s Day peace offering." Ten hours later, he posted an apology to his girlfriend, the "only person" he had wronged, while also attempting to reassure "all the women" that having nude photos on a laptop does not necessarily indicate disrespect.

Onlookers perceived the incident light-heartedly, with some commenting on other downloaded files on Krynin's laptop. The price of Near Protocol's token, NEAR, has steadily risen since the event, increasing by nearly 6% at the time of writing.

Krynin's donation wallet got more than just peace offerings; it looks like a full-blown Valentine's Day miracle.

Krynin's move asking for donations was lit, but does it justify the NEAR price pump? 🤔
