My guess is a crazy youtuber to get extra views. Maybe he can even recuperate the funds with the incremental views he gets

Would be stupid but have seen worse

I won't be surprised if this turns out to be true because most times when I'm surfing through YouTube to find solutions to some certain issue I do stumble upon some crazy shit that's been done just for the sake of getting millions of views.
And this might just be one of the examples of those crazy shit done by some crazy ass millionaire YouTuber and then they'll use caption like "How I lost my 4
BTC to Satoshi" those shit's stupid as hell.
