Fish runs the crypto-focused podcast UpOnlyTV and has recently engaged in several so-called &ldquo;Twitch raids.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><span>The recipient was a young Canadian artist called Mela Bee. She performed songs on guitar throughout the night alongside her boyfriend, who plays under the alias DumbBuck. Playing for more than seven hours, the pair reeled through a string of classic hits including Radiohead&rsquo;s &ldquo;Creep&rdquo; and Blink-182&rsquo;s &ldquo;All The Small Things.&rdquo; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Many of the crypto followers watching the stream joked that DumbBuck bore a resemblance to Sergey Nazarov, the founder of Chainlink.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Twitch raids Fish popularized follow a simple format. Fish browses the live streaming site to find a musician playing to a small audience, then takes over hosting duties. He then calls on his 313,000 Twitter followers to join his channel and encourages the musician to download their own MetaMask wallet. Once they share the address, those watching the stream subscribe to the musician&rsquo;s social channels and send ETH and other tokens as they perform songs live.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Of all the Twitch raids Fish has organized, last night&rsquo;s saw the biggest sum raised so far. Early in the takeover, Mela Bee was reduced to tears after watching her follower count shot up. Later, she realized that some of those watching had sent digital money to her MetaMask wallet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.cryptobriefing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02090807\/300-250-banner-3.png\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.cryptobriefing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02090756\/photo_2021-03-22-16.47.16.jpeg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.cryptobriefing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02090756\/17_NFT_Future_Economy_1-2.gif\"><\/p>\n<p><span>One generous viewer sent as much as 100,000 REN, worth over $100,000 at the time of writing. The address can be viewed on Etherscan <\/span><span>here<\/span><span>.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The donation pot received a boost after ETH soared above $3,200 last night. The number two crypto has since cooled off, which leaves the pool of funds closer to $198,500.<\/p>\n<h2>&ldquo;Best 6 Hours of My Life&rdquo;<\/h2>\n<p><span>There&rsquo;s a bitter twist to last night&rsquo;s events in that Mela Bee and DumbBuck weren&rsquo;t the first musicians Fish targeted. He had encouraged another Twitch performer called paratune to download MetaMask first but failed to convince him after he and his followers received a ban from paratune&rsquo;s mods.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Mela Bee took to Twitter to express her thanks early Monday morning.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m super overwhelmed, I&rsquo;m literally shaking.&rdquo; she said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fish suggested setting Mela Bee up with an appearance on James Corden or Ellen DeGenere&rsquo;s chat shows, tagging Mark Cuban in his post. Cuban, who appears on the popular TV series Shark Tank, has recently become known for his interest in Ethereum and DeFi. He appeared as a guest on UpOnlyTV last month.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.cryptobriefing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/26031756\/SIMETRI-banner-square-042621.png\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/a.impactradius-go.com\/display-ad\/12209-931979\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.cryptobriefing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02090756\/17_NFT_Future_Economy_1-2.gif\"><\/p>\n<p><span>Fish then joked that he expected an invite to the pair&rsquo;s wedding for his efforts in arranging the raid. &ldquo;LOL you&rsquo;ll be there for sure,&rdquo; Mela Bee replied.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Crypto Briefing has reached out to Mela Bee, DumbBuck, and Jordan Fish for comment.<\/p>\n<p><em>Disclosure: At the time of writing, the author of this feature owned ETH and several other cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.cryptobriefing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/02093134\/Phemex-Logo.png\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.cryptobriefing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02090908\/ins.png\"><\/p>\n<p>The information on or accessed through this website is obtained from independent sources we believe to be accurate and reliable, but Decentral Media, Inc. makes no representation or warranty as to the timeliness, completeness, or accuracy of any information on or accessed through this website.
