Bonk Guy Denies Controlling Majority of EMBER Supply Amid Address Cluster Controversy

Huo Xing Cai Jing reports that on September 13, renowned trader Bonk Guy (@theunipcs) responded to the controversy sparked by his purchase of EMBER. The central point of contention was a Bubblemaps cluster diagram widely circulated in the market, which some users interpreted as indicating that over 50% of EMBER’s supply was linked to a single address cluster, with others implying a connection between this cluster and Bonk Guy himself, thereby questioning his motives for buying EMBER. In response, Bonk Guy explained that EMBER does not have any internal bundling or internal cluster controlling more than 50% of the supply. The address associations shown in the diagram arise because EMBER’s flywheel mechanism distributes tokens via external owned accounts (EOAs), not through smart contracts; since this EOA transfers tokens to multiple users’ wallets participating in the mechanism, Bubblemaps groups all recipient addresses into the same linked network. He emphasized that the flywheel mechanism is one of EMBER’s key distinguishing features compared to other token issuance platforms, and that the addresses receiving tokens in the diagram belong to ordinary users, not insiders. Bubblemaps has also recommended that the project replace this EOA with a smart contract. Bonk Guy expressed his hope that EMBER’s developers will adopt this suggestion and again denied any connection between himself and the so-called internal cluster.
