derp.
this one’s pure nostalgia.
a meme most of us grew up with, right alongside troll, wojak & all the other legendary early internet characters that basically raised us before algorithms did.
derp, popularized during the early comic era created by one of the founders of South Park, its one of those forever memes that instantly unlocks 2010 in your brain.
from cringe usernames, to minecraft skins, to random “derp” youtube compilations with 480p quality — the lore on this meme actually runs deep and it was everywhere when we were kids.
this wasn’t just a meme, it was a whole personality trait at one point.
the thesis is simple.
troll did 160m.
wojak did 60m.
derp ??
we’ve already seen what internet-native faces can do when crypto gives them a ticker and a community behind them.
derp has real potential to be an 8-figure market cap coin because it’s one of the few memes that hits instantly without needing explanation.
it’s dumb in the perfect way, and sometimes dumb is exactly what wins.
it’s nostalgic enough to rally people together and bring back that “old internet” energy that people lowkey miss.
and in a timeline where everything feels hyper-optimized and tryhard, derp coin being intentionally stupid is kind of the whole point.
we wanted community coins that don’t just top at 500k and die after 2 days?
we have a chance to do something extremely funny here — like actually funny in a full-circle internet history kind of way.
because at the end of the day, memecoins aren’t just about charts.
they’re about culture, timing, and whether enough people decide to believe in the joke at the same time.
and derp might be the most unserious way to make something serious happen
me on the way to revive one of the internet's most OG memes
the backbone to many memes we see nowadays
the troll before pepe, the pepe before wojak, one of the most forgotten, OG memes of all time
forever ordained as one of the most original memes to ever exist
am i missing anything here?
feel like some of these have the potential to 5x - 10x from here EASILY
some of these current trench runners & some are active cto’s by good people
keeping an eye on all of these
feeling extremely blessed by the people around me because my entire ct feed went from posting PNL with 100 wallets
to just different bag workers shilling their coins and cto’s and doing relentless hours of bag working to make things happen
shi makes me happy because the trenches are truly healing
people don’t want to get farmed anymore, they want to believe
they just need to see others doing the same
funny how that when newpairs are starting to slow down we're seeing more bag working on CT and people shilling good coins with communities now. prices down, vibes are up.
only matter of time before the pve runner comes again.
something something return to tradition.
i don't shill coins often. at all, but this meme has been with me since i was a kid playing minecraft, one of the first memes i knew its
-one of the most og/nostalgic memes of an entire generation and one of the most classic memes i remember
- paved the path for itself w it being -> wojak & troll and then -> pepe.
- survived multiple internet generations and still recognizable today. insane nostalgia.
- one of the first memes to ever develop character ''lore''
- the og of all og internet memes
and the coin is sitting at 276k mc
