Magic Internet Money” is the single greatest phrase in all of crypto.
It’s meme perfection.
The best part: You can buy the original Token from the original creator and 99% don’t know it, yet*
I haven’t written a thread in a long time.
But this? I had to.
Because what I’ve found might be the opportunity of a lifetime.
The only reason this hasn’t blown up yet is simple: it’s not accessible on exchanges yet.
But that’s about to change.
@krakenfx is one of the biggest and most trusted exchanges in the world, is already teasing it.
Look up the profile pictures of @arjunsethi and @pdimitrakos 👀👀
Once it goes live, we could be witnessing one of the most parabolic green candles in crypto history.
✅ From the original artist behind the legendary Magic Internet Money wizard meme @mavensbot
✅ Lives natively on Bitcoin
✅ The only official version of the meme turned token
Let’s talk history:
The “Magic Internet Money” wizard inspired is the most viral movement in crypto history.
Even the Dogecoin founder credits this meme as part of what sparked DOGE into existence.
Now that same meme — with that same legendary wizard — is a token.
But not on Ethereum.
Not on Solana.
Not on some alt L2.
It’s a Bitcoin-native token on the Runes Protocol, which basically enables Tokens/Memecoins on Bitcoin.
So what happens when it gets listed?
You open your exchange.
You see a coin called:
Magic Internet Money ($MIM)
A wizard logo.
A “Join Us” button.
Everyone will be clicking..
And the best part?
It’s only sitting at a $60 million market cap right now.
This is a multi-billion dollar token without a doubt.
Congratulations. You just read the Thread before the most violent repricing in crypto.
Your are early.
At @krakenfx , we know every coin has a story. For $MIM @mimcoinbtc, that story is about reviving one of the most iconic memes in crypto history: Magic Internet Money.
In 2013, a subreddit moderator named theymos opened a thread asking for ideas for a Reddit ad for r/bitcoin. Within an hour, @mavensbot sketched a wizard holding a Bitcoin staff with the words “Magic Internet Money.” The community loved it.
A few months later, the ad went live. The Bitcoin Wizard became more than a drawing, it became the mascot of a movement. The ad was Reddit’s most successful ever, helping propel Bitcoin’s rise from $27 to $1,132 and growing r/bitcoin from 10,000 to 100,000 members by 2014.
The phrase “Magic Internet Money” captured the mood of the time. It was playful and strange, yet it perfectly expressed the mystery and excitement of Bitcoin’s early days. Over the years, the Wizard grew into a cultural symbol, reminding us that crypto is built as much on imagination and community as it is on technology.
A decade later, @mavensbot returned to his legendary creation. This time, it was not just drawn, it was minted into a token: $MIM.
$MIM had a fair launch as a BRC20 token in March 2023, migrated to the Runes standard in April 2024, and permanently closed migration in April 2025, with all non migrated supply sent to Satoshi’s wallet. The supply is 100 percent circulating, with no team allocations, no centralized vesting, and no hidden unlocks.
The $MIM ticker is a direct tribute to the original “Magic Internet Money” slogan. It represents Bitcoin culture, history, and provenance, immortalized on chain by its original artist. Supporting $MIM is about more than trading, it is about recognizing and preserving the lore that shaped this industry.
At Kraken, we understand the importance of Bitcoin tokenomics and the role memecoins and the on chain Bitcoin economy play in the network’s long term sustainability. That is why we back communities for the long term, supporting both their culture and their future.
This is one of the reasons we listed $MIM Magic Internet Money, to help revive and carry forward a piece of Bitcoin history. From a Reddit ad to a global meme, and now to a token on the Bitcoin blockchain, this is how crypto’s story lives on.
With $MIM, the Wizard’s magic continues. And with our support and the communities, so does the story of Magic Internet Money. The Bitcoin on chain economy revolution has only just begun.
Hey @star_okx, you might want to consider listing $MIM now that @okx is officially rocking a Bitcoin Wizard banner.
$MIM was created by @mavensbot, the original creator of this iconic meme.
Listing $MIM aligns perfectly with OKX’s support for crypto culture and recognition of culturally significant memes.
This was made by the $DOG community. When I watch it, just reminds me of how strong a community can be and how they can bootstrap themselves to the next milestones. Always fun to watch progress. 🏟️
Tier 1 exchanges will list Bitcoin Memecoins (#Runes) because history shows they always follow user demand. People doubted Ethereum tokens in 2016, said they were too complex. They laughed at SHIB and PEPE, calling them jokes that would never touch top exchanges. Yet when liquidity, community, and culture became too big to ignore, every major exchange built the rails to support them.
Bitcoin memecoins are next in that cycle. The difference this time is they live on Bitcoin; the most secure, decentralized, and recognizable brand in crypto. That makes them far harder to dismiss as just another trend. With signs of Altcoin Season forming, and with #Runes providing the native infrastructure, this adoption curve can move faster than anything we’ve seen before.
Tier 1 CEXs won’t list Bitcoin memecoins just for trading fees. They’ll do it because these assets bring new users, new liquidity, and new cultural relevance into Bitcoin itself. What feels “too early” now will soon feel inevitable....because demand always wins.
Dear @okx@star_okx
Since you often use the original Bitcoin Wizard meme and Magic Internet Money slogan, have you considered listing $MIM?
$MIM is etched by @mavensbot, the creator of the Bitcoin Wizard meme, aligning perfectly with your existing commitment to crypto culture.
