Thought I’d do a quick refresher post on the history of $Buttcoin for anyone peeping us for the first time.
- Started in 2011 by myself, Barry Oners. Yes, I am original guy that’s devving this token.
- The first “memecoin” before memecoins, two years before Dogecoin was born.
- Buttcoin is a direct play on Bitcoin. I set up the Twitter, the Subreddit and our original site https://t.co/7QposD9r9h in May/June 2011
- Started as a satire of the early crypto days, a humorous take on the whole scene.
- As we shone the spotlight we had a lot of early interactions with many in the crypto space like Vitalik, cobie and others who embraced us.
- Our blog also did some investigative articles on shady players back in the day which led to us being secretly purchased by a company called Butterfly Labs.
- BFL was shut down by the FTC who seized all their assets, including the original Buttcoin website. Our name is in a federal database!
- We relaunched the blog on a new site, https://t.co/y4JDfUQvX9 and got more active on X and Reddit.
- Over the years many tokens have been launched using my name and logo but I’ve never endorsed any of them. As a result most ended up being run poorly or were outright scams.
- In January 2026 I decided that I had to take matters into my own hands, link up with a good crew and launch an actual $Buttcoin token to celebrate the history and lore of not just myself but of crypto as a whole.
Buttcoin isn’t a coin about butts, it’s a coin about the entire history of crypto and the communities within. 15 years in the making.
Buttcoin looks amazing here
The defense of 10m is beautiful to see
Would not be shocked to see a candle go straight past all time high.
HOLD ONTO YOUR BUTTS
$buttcoin
Never touched any crypto except $Buttcoin and a small amount of Bitcoin. I'm a risk-adverse person.
I have turned down lots of previous offers to launch a token when it became clear they wanted my brand but not my voice.
Only when I could be assured 100% that the project would be run the right way did $Buttcoin come to be.
The whole point of this is to bring out the humor, the fun, and everything else that made crypto exciting from the jump.
I'm very proud of the strong community we've built so far and am excited to keep building well into the future.
BTW as an update, my personal Buttcoin holdings are up to ~6.6m now, nearly all locked until 2027. Total locks with all community members total almost 10% or 97m tokens now.
This is great. Projects need active and honest leaders their communities can trust, and this will incentivize that. Our $Buttcoin community is active af and I love to see them pushing every day. Kudos to @Pumpfun and @a1lon9 for this change.
Also, peep that Easter egg 😛
i’m serious
buttcoin was at $8M market cap when i posted this, with bitcoin in the $80k range
buttcoin is now at $30M market cap, with bitcoin in the $65k range
The beauty of $Buttcoin is when times get tough you can always just throw up your hands and say “F’ it, might as well just buy Buttcoin instead”
And when times are good you see those cheeks and smile a little.
It’s about holding on to a little humor.
