Machi Big Brother to Buy Friend.tech for $1M, Restart via CTO

This acquisition signals a potential pattern where distressed social protocols get rescued by prominent figures rather than fading out. The $1M price tag is notable as it values a once-hyped platform at a fraction of its peak, highlighting how quickly socialFi narratives can cool. For the broader RWA/crypto market, this is a test case for community-led revivals—whether a CTO can actually rebuild user trust and traction after a decline remains the key question. Watch whether this sparks similar takeover attempts on other abandoned platforms.
