A viral crypto influencer's “spend the night with BTC holders” stunt has taken a dark turn after Chinese media linked her profile to a real-life extortion case.
A viral crypto influencer’s stunt to “spend the night” with BTC holders has taken a scandalous turn after Chinese media linked her profile to a real-life extortion case.
On March 25, Sina Finance reported that a software engineer in Chengdu was ambushed and robbed of 6 BTC by a criminal gang posing as a female crypto trader named “Bitcoin Cong’er.”
The group had allegedly lured the victim through an X profile that promised sexual favors after months of online communications. Once the victim agreed to meet at a high-end hotel in Chengdu, the perpetrators reportedly used fabricated evidence to threaten the victim’s reputation, ultimately extorting the 6 BTC transfer.
Police are investigating the incident and have issued public warnings about similar scams targeting crypto users, according to Sina Finance.
The report quickly raised eyebrows because just days earlier, a Mandarin-speaking social media user going by @BTCconger, formerly known as @LisaaBuilder, had gone viral for a strikingly similar stunt.
On March 20, the account posted a message on X, urging users to drop their Bitcoin addresses in the replies. She claimed she would “spend the night” with anyone holding at least 0.1 BTC — no fees, no strings attached.
She even described the note as a “suicide letter,” stating that she no longer belonged to herself, but to all Bitcoin holders and believers. The tweet collected over 2 million views.
BTCconger doubled down, posting photos and videos of herself apparently meeting up with her followers, and flying to Bangkok. In one tweet, she posted a selfie in a hotel mirror with a condom visible on the table, claiming that someone didn’t show up at the promised location and time. In another video, she is seen sitting on a bed with three men, reading and reciting the Bitcoin whitepaper, some sections in unison.
Reactions were mixed. Some X users played along and posted wallet addresses. Others called it an entertaining and clever method to grab attention. Some urged her to reconsider for safety reasons, while several female users criticized the post for perpetrating damaging stereotypes about women in crypto.
After the Sina Finance article surfaced, her campaign came under fresh scrutiny as the report included a screenshot of one of her tweets.
In a live-streamed interview on March 26 with local content creator Robert Lee, BTCconger denied any involvement in the Chengdu case. She stated she is currently in the mainland in Shenzhen and argued that if she were connected to a crime, she’d already be under arrest. She also pointed out that the extortion case occurred earlier in 2024, while her account only rebranded from @LisaaBuilder to @BTCconger “a few days ago.” She said she has gathered notarized evidence and plans to file a formal report to defend herself.
