JAKARTA - Football legend Ronaldinho Ga Maricho has made another breakthrough in the world of crypto assets. On June 23, through his X account, Ronaldinho stated that it was time for crypto assets to become mainstream and invite his followers to join.
However, this announcement was not greeted with enthusiasm but with criticism and skepticism from the crypto community. The famous on-chain investigator, ZachXBT, became one of the most vocal in questioning Ronaldinho's motives.
According to CryptoPotato information, ZachXBT alleges that Ronaldinho's return to the crypto world may be triggered by financial difficulties. In his sharp response, ZachXBT said, 'Does this mean you went bankrupt again? If you forget, these are all crypto projects you've been pumping and throwing away for years.'
ZachXBT's accusations were accompanied by screenshots detailing Ronaldinho's involvement in several crypto projects, including BabyDoge, Atari Chain, Lord Society NFT, and World Cup Inu (WCI) coin memes.

Ronaldinho's involvement in crypto was previously filled with controversy. The latest scandal involved the '18kRonaldinho' project accused of being a pyramid scheme worth 61 million US Dollars (around Rp998 billion).
The project promises an unrealistic return of 2% per day to investors who deposit a minimum of 30 US Dollars (around Rp491,100) in the form of digital currencies. Ronaldinho once appeared as the company's ambassador, but in a Brazilian congressional hearing, he denied his formal involvement and claimed that his image was used without his consent.
In February 2022, Ronaldinho teamed up with Grab Blockchain subsidiary New World Inc., to become an ambassador and promote NFT's experience to his fans of nearly 77 million followers on Instagram. Later, he also collaborated with the P00LS decentralized exchange to launch his own token, RON.
Several other well-known figures are also trying their luck in the crypto world, often with mixed results. The crypto community has recently seen an increase in the coin meme supported by celebrities, many of whom quickly slumped in value, causing huge losses to investors.
