Solana Dev Hospitalized Trying to Pump Meme Coin

A Solana meme coin developer, Mikol, was hospitalized with third-degree burns at a Miami trauma center after he doused himself in isopropyl alcohol and had fireworks shot at him during a livestream six days after creating the DARE token on Pump.fun. Friends livestreaming on Twitter tried to put out the flames with only a couple gallons of water, and they ran out. Michael Valentine, a viewer with five years of fire department experience, estimated that 35% of Mikol's body was burned, though he said it could be more. Investors reacted with mixed concern, and the DARE community has been raising money for equipment, a car and an apartment for Mikol.
