This is insane $BUTTCOIN lore 😭
in 2014, Satoshi’s old SourceForge account was compromised and the Bitcoin project page was literally changed to:
“Buttcoin is a peer-to-peer butt.”
$BUTTCOIN was trolling Bitcoin before most of CT was even here.
Fun fact: the FTC still owns the original domain of the blog https://t.co/4xJ7lkyY9L. I tried to buy it earlier this year when it was set to expire but they renewed it.
Hey @FTC, please give me my domain back. I will gladly pay 10k $Buttcoin (which will be worth 1 BTC shortly)
here’s what this means for the future of solana:Cm6fNnMk7NfzStP9CZpsQA2v3jjzbcYGAxdJySmHpump:
if the trademark clears the final stage, they can actually build around the name properly
merch, licensing, partnerships, events, whatever comes next
basically turns the meme into something they can protect and expand as an actual brand.
excited for the future of buttcoin, this is going to change how memecoins advertise themselves.
Never in law school could I have imagined I’d have “Buttcoin” as a client but here we are!
I truly am so lucky. I have the coolest clients.
IP matters, and I wish more people/ projects/ companies in our industry took it seriously.
$BUTTCOIN IP UPDATE!
Our Trademark application was APPROVED for public publication by the examining officer at the USPTO.
They found our claims were valid and now they get published for public review. This is a brief hold period all applications go through that allows anyone to file a legal dispute against the claim. I don’t anticipate any disputes at this stage since I have filed as the original creator.
Final stretch. Last bit of administrative hold until full IP rights secured.
