One peaceful February morning, Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, former ruler of the Binance empire, found himself in the oddest of predicaments: pondering whether to let the crypto world turn his *dog* into a meme coin. Yes, you read that right. Not his face, not his empire’s logo, but his *dog*. Apparently, life in the crypto sphere isn’t boring enough. 😂
On February 13th — long past the days when people thought Bitcoin was magic internet money — CZ casually responded to requests from crypto traders for a name and photo of his beloved fur companion, a Belgian Malinois. The pup, likely oblivious to its potential fame, became the latest subject of crypto-mania. CZ waded into the conversation, intrigued by the bizarre process of “meme coinifying” one’s pet and questioning how the true *official* meme coin would even be recognized. Because, of course, nobody wants their dog to have impostors running about. 🧐
“Got the answers now. Pretty interesting how things work. Will mull it over for a day or so, as usual for big decisions,” he quipped, before heading off — presumably to consult with his four-legged advisor. 🐾
Ever the comedian, CZ also joked about the possibility of his dog’s privacy being compromised. “Imagine,” he said with a smirk, “if these meme coin enthusiasts decide to dox the dog for the cause!” *You think you’ve seen scandals? Wait until the paparazzi camp outside my yard barking for exclusive dog photos!*
Adding to the drama, CZ admitted he’s been sniffing around (pun intended) some of the meme coins launched on the BNB Chain. A brave move, or simply overindulging curiosity? Only time will tell.
For those unfamiliar with the crypto community’s quirks: turning pets into meme coins is practically an art form. Remember Len Sassaman’s cats, Sasha and Odin? They became icons of speculation because people thought Len was Satoshi Nakamoto (you know, the real-life Schrödinger’s founder of Bitcoin). Or Elon Musk’s Shiba Inu “Floki”? One snarky post from Musk led to an entire meme coin circus. Welcome to the cryptosphere, where absurdity is part of the business model! 🎪
Throwback to CZ’s meme coin skepticism
Speaking of the crypto circus, one perceptive X user reminded CZ of his 2024 stance: meme coins are “a little” weird, and blockchain ought to be used for, quote, “real applications.” Oh, how the dog collars turn! 😉
In his defense, CZ clarified he was referring to the catastrophe back then with pump.fun, a meme coin swap hub whose livestreams spiraled into chaos. It turned into something so inappropriate that even seasoned degenerates of the crypto world had to look away in discomfort. Naturally, the platform got zapped faster than you can say “rug pull.” ⚡
Fast forward to now, and meme coins are thriving. In fact, they’ve gotten so big that even the current United States President decided to launch one. That’s right — Commander-in-Tweet himself joined the fun. No surprises here, given that meme coins now boast a collective market cap of nearly $78 billion. Who knew nonsensical pets would be worth nearly as much as a mid-sized country’s GDP? 🤷♂️
