The highly anticipated Hamster Kombat crypto airdrop has failed, leaving thousands of Nigerians shocked and outraged. Users anticipated large payments after months of tapping to win prizes, but instead got little sums, as low as $1.
The cryptocurrency mining program, which debuted in March 2024, promised life-changing chances and billionaire status. However, reality has been catastrophic. According to reports, the biggest earner earned just $17, while many other users received $0.75 or less.
Social media users that participated are dissatisfied with the low compensation. The once-hopeful hamlet is now known for “tears and wailings.”
Check out some comments below:
Recall that a few days ago, Bello Musa, a Nigerian pharmacist, came to social media to voice his fury and displeasure with Hamster Kombat.
Musa said that he quit his work to concentrate on mining bitcoin, only to earn a meagre token.
Musa’s viral post details his emotional distress and financial uncertainty following the alleged scam by the platform. He had spent time and money into Hamster Kombat, expecting big rewards. Instead, he got a paltry sum, leaving him humiliated and traumatised.
Venting on X, he wrote:
“Dear #Hamster, I resigned from my job where I built a professional & unblemished career over the years in anticipation of huge token from you, only for me to be rewarded peanuts. From where will I start now? The threat from my HOD? Or the mockery I’m facing? Hamster Kombat is indeed nothing but scam! #HMSTRSCAM.
“I’m devastated, emotionally traumatised and with an uncertain future, all due to Hamster’s decision to be selfish.
As for the people mocking me, Man is not God! Insha Allah I’ll get another job. The person that introduced me to #Hamster said that was how Bitcoin started, that all people that sacrificed for bitcoin are now billionaires, I joined not knowing #HamsterKombat is a scam #HMSTR #HMSTRSCAM.”
He ended his message with a stern declaration, saying, “I’ll never forgive Hamster Kombat except if it comes at 1HMSTR = 100USD.”
