Okay here's the lore behind $WHUT.
Bitcoin launched on January 3, 2009.
Later that year, on November 22, 2009, Satoshi created Bitcointalk - the forum that would become the birthplace of crypto culture.
One of the very first conversations ever posted on Bitcointalk can still be seen here:

The second reply in that thread was made by Martti Malmi (Sirius), one of Bitcoin's earliest developers.
For years, people recognized Sirius by his cat profile picture. The cat became so iconic that tokens based on "Sirius" later launched on both Ethereum and Solana, reaching $20M+ ATHs.
But here's what people missed.
After digging through old lolcat archives, we found the original cat behind the Sirius profile picture.
It's "WHUT" - a lolcat meme originally posted on I Can Has Cheezburger on March 1, 2007:

That's over 2 years before Bitcoin existed and nearly 3 years before the Bitcointalk post.
So what is $WHUT?
A 2007 lolcat that ended up appearing on the first page of Bitcoin history itself.
Not just an old cat meme.
It is the first cat, first animal, and first meme ever visible in crypto history through one of Bitcoin's earliest developers and one of the earliest Bitcointalk conversations.
The origins are insane.
The first cat of crypto never got its run.
Justice for WHUT.

The easiest time to buy conviction is after everyone agrees.
The hardest time is when nobody is watching.
We're currently in the second phase.
