Tell your goldbug uncle to buy some Buttcoin!
When I created Buttcoin in 2011 it was to highlight the comedy in Bitcoin and the whole concept of "Magic Internet Money". This was long before meme coins were even a thing.
My little corners of the internet here on X/Twitter, on the blog and the subreddit laid the blueprints for all meme coins that exist today.
In 2011, Bitcoin was something new and unknown, unchartered waters. You could have fun building a mining rig or trying to fork a new coin. It was the wild west.
And that's the world that let Buttcoin do what it does best, memeify the whole space.
Back then we were doing something organically that all meme coins do now: take something people are talking about, extract the exciting, and turn it into culture.
The technology to turn memes into tokens didn't exist back then, it hadn't caught up to what we had already built 15 years ago. But now it does.
$Buttcoin is the culmination of all that came before it, now tokenized.
bros forgot how to dream

Still believe this is a new primitive we are seeing rather than the usual ai agent posting slop
