Why It Matters: Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk went on a meme-posting spree beginning Friday, which sent meme-cryptocurrencies such as CumRocket Crypto (CUMMIES) and CumInu (CUMINU) on an upwards trajectory. 

Since then another adult-themed coin, PORNROCKET (PORN), has also joined the frenzy.

CUMMIES traded 30.21% lower at $0.11 and CUMINU traded 14.5% lower at $0.001226 at press time over a 24-hour period. PORNROCKET was up 128.10% at $0.0000001712 in a similar period.
