The publication caused a flurry of discussions and jokes, but some users noticed an error in writing the address.
Is it deliberately different to the address you posted above or is that a mistake by the tattoo artist?

In the "body" version, there is one extra letter "U" near the end of the address.
In a conversation with Decrypt, the trader said that he was not upset about the typo. He has already asked his master to figure out how to fix the error.
"I'm not mad because I would still have to explain what it means to ordinary people. No random person will know that this is a typo until I tell them," he explained.
In parallel, a user under the pseudonym bvan got a tattoo with a coin ticker — "$GIGA".
